ROCK SOME KITTY WITH A LITTLE KORS


     I remember the first time I ever saw anything Hello Kitty.

     I was back-to-school shopping with my mom at Foley’s before entering the 2nd grade.  There was a little “Sanrio” booth next to the register with wonderful little nick nacks and most were decorated in pink with a little kitty face on them.  That was the first year that the kitty was added to the lineup of the Japanese company’s characters.

The Hello Kitty franchise has grown tremendously over the years and you can find pretty much anything with Hello Kitty and her friends on it.

This top struck me when I found it as being something fun to throw on for a casual day or night.  I love the logo seen on the back hip!  Well, and I love the gold metallic trim, the gold studs around the neck with mesh detail!  It has short sleeves so I thought this short cropped leather jacket would be a great addition for a cool November day out to lunch.

The Sanrio company just rocks, and so does Hello Kitty and that’s all there is to it!  IF you want to check out the multitudes of Kitty products that exist, then check out the Sanrio site.

     The black clutch is the Michael Kors & Estee Lauder Holiday bag out now for Fall 2012.  The nail color and lip colors shown are the ones from the purchase as well!  The shoes are from Jessica Simpson.

LIPS THAT LAST (lipstick tutorial)

lip tutorial, video vlog, Luxor Living and Style, lipstick blog, lip color,

 

    Today I had lunch with  some people and one of which was a beauty business professional who had been in the industry for over 20 years.

white blonde, over 40, red lips, tutorial, beauty bloggers, Stephanie Sjoberg, Houston bloggers, lashes, Marilyn

     We were in the ladies room afterwards, she was reapplying her lips, I was washing my hands, and she asked, “Why is it that you still have on lipstick, even after we ate?”

     I can’t tell you how many times people ask me this, so I decided to do a quick tutorial tonight!   It’s short and fun, and I hope it’s informative!


     Thanks!

CALIFORNIA ROAD TRIP-DAY ONE (PART 3)

the Marina Motel

    We found this motel by chance, after running into a lot all day that were already booked. It’s like a tiny floral oasis !

     We were not planning on spending the next day in San Francisco, or for that matter, in a hotel room, so this was a nice place to relax and stay for the evening before jaunting off tomorrow on new adventures.


     We found the old time setting to be quite cozy! There was garage parking, and then you walk up to the second floor to get to your room.

     I won’t even report what the price was, because it was so low, since it was after 6 when we arrived…I can only say it was extremely inexpensive compared to other places a few minutes closer to the wharf! It was also on a Thursday evening, which will always be lower than a weekend rate.

san francisco, Marina Motel, cool place to stay in San Francisco

     If you want to check it out, here’s the link for the Marina Motel.  It’s been around since 1939, the website will tell you all about it, and has more pictures and information.  We thought it was a very cool find!  We were so jazzed about the place, we decided to stay there again when we came back through San Francisco on our last night!
