Steve Madden Wiicked Shoes

SO I thought I'd give a quick little update! You know "THE Shoes" I've been wanting for the last FOREVER! Well I finally ordered them today!! I had a horrible week last week so what better way to reward myself for getting through it!? I'm SO excited for these bad boys I can hardly contain myself!! Even though I've posted a picture of these before... but here it is again! *sigh* I love them!



If any of you other shoe lovers/leopard print loves are interested in getting these I definitely recommend purchasing them HERE at from Amazon.com They were significantly more on the Steve Madden website! Not only did I save myself almost $50...but I also go free shipping!! No complaints there! Anyway once they come in I'll update on the comfort/quality and all the fun stuff, however I'm hopefully that they will be amazing after all the reviews I read plus I've always adored all of my Steve Madden shoes!

So until next time my lovelies!

Tigi Hair Products

I have always been obsessed with my hair. Whether it's short or long, I've always tried to take really good care of it, and I must say I'm a little bit of a "hair snob" lol. Anyway in my quest for good hair products I always end up trying out something new...I swear my bathroom cabinets look like a hair product graveyard! However one thing I have discovered over the years is the I love TIGI hair products. Now not everything I've tried I've liked...but for the most party their products are really great, and I love that they smell amazing.

This first product I've been using for YEARS! I honestly think I'm addicted because of the smell. Really. It's their Masterpiece Massive Shine Hairspray. I LOVE this product. Not only does it smell amazing but the hold is great, and it doesn't leave my hair feeling too stiff, but it keeps my style in place, and give me hair a nice healthy shine. This is definitely my go to hair product!



I also love the TIGI Rockaholic line. I've tried two products from this line and so far I've loved both of them! I first came across the line when I was looking for a good dry shampoo. I bought the Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo and at first I was a little skeptical, but it's turned out to be a product I really like to use especially on those days where I don't have time to wash my hair and could really get one more day out of it. What you do is shake it up really good and spray it into the roots of your hair. Not only does it absorb any excess oil you might have, but it also have a clean, citrus like scent that make your hair smell fresh!



Last but definitely not least is the Rockaholic Born to Rock leave in detangler and defrizzer. Ever since my hair has gotten insanely long i have LOVED this stuff. When I have long hair it tangles up SOOOOO easy, and I have a sensitive head so it sometimes hurts to comb through...I'm a baby I know! Anyway I bought this when I was getting fed up with my tangles after I had washed my hair it was a tangled mess that literally took me 10-15 minutes to just comb through it! So I bought the Rockaholic detangler and man has it made combing through my hair SO easy after getting out of the shower. I just spray it all over my head and not only does make my comb (I use a wide tooth comb) glide through tangles, but it also leave my hair silky and smooth! I've tried other detanglers before and still had a hard time getting my comb through it (one is still sitting in my hair product graveyard!) and this is by far the best. I would recommend this to anyone who has trouble getting those pesky tangles out! Seriously cannot say enough good things!



Well my lovlies that's it for this post! So until next time...

2011 vma's

So I really wasn't TOO impressed with the VMA's this year, but none the less I watched them. Because I do every year....what can I say I like the performances and I like to see the hideous and crazy things that the stars are wearing...like this outfit Nikki Minaj wore. It's interesting to say the least...


Nikki Minaj 2011 VMA's

Or this strange getup that Lady Gaga had going on...her "alter ego" Joe Calderone...I know she is a little weird and eccentric but this one really SO weird to me...



However the night was not without it's highlights, and as a music lover I did I have my favorite performances...such as Bruno Mar's performance of Valerie by Amy Winehouse(one of my favorite Winehouse songs). This was an awesome tribute song, and he did such a great job. I LOVE Amy Winehouse. I'm sad she's gone, such a waste of a beautiful talent.


Bruno Mars 2011 VMA's

Bust I must say that my favorite performance of the night was none other than Beyonce's performance of Love on Top. Man can this girl perform. I think that she is such a talented performer and her performance of the single was nothing short of amazing. Her vocals were killer!! Not to mention I just thought it was sweet that she announced her pregnancy at the end of her performance by unbuttoning her jacket and rubbing her cute little baby bump! Now I know that there are TONS of pregnant women out there (and congratulations to any of you reading!!) but I just thought it was a sweet gesture after singing her heart out about love. Because if you're happy and in love why not sing your heart out and acknowledge the beautiful love growing inside of you!? Anyway...if any of you missed it seriously check it out HERE. It was very touching...made me tear up a little!!


Oh and PS--props to Kanye for not being a giant a-hole this year. You do have manners. Way to go.

Anyway until next time my lovelies...

Some of my current favorites!

So I wanted to share some of the things I'm currently loving! Some of you might laugh at this first one...but I'm SERIOUSLY addicted. I think I have a problem....but the first part of recovery is admitting you have a problem!

JERSYLICIOUS!! Oh my gosh this show is like a train wreck! You just can't look away. I will say though these girls have some serious style. I mean it's definitely not MY personal style...but I love that they can rock their look and own it! Not to mention they can seriously throw down in a pair of 6'' stilettos!



Second thing I'm LOVING is feathers. I know some people are loving them. Some people hate them. And some people are just seriously over them. Me? Still loving them! I love them in my hair but I really LOVE my custom made feather earrings that are ABSOLUTELY stunning. I bought mine here from a lady named Anne who puts her heart and soul into these beautiful creations...I cannot get enough of these and I get SO many compliments whenever I wear them out. They are definitely a head turner if you're looking for something different.



I'm also really loving Urban Decay cosmetics at the moment. Urban Decay has some amazing makeup. I love that their eyeshadow is so pigmented and beautiful. They are very shimmery and can tend to have some fall out, but that doesn't really bother me since I usually apply my eyeshadow before my foundation to avoid things like that! I'm really loving the Naked palette. It's really popular at the moment, but if you can find it grab it!! It's absolutely gorgeous for everyday looks!

The palette comes with a sample of their primer potion, which is also AWESOME! You apply it before you apply your eyeshadow and it seriously keeps your eyeshadow on ALL DAY LONG!! Without creasing or anything. I LOVE this stuff! It's very comparable to the Two Faced shadow insurance, and costs just as much...but I'm a sucker for packaging and Urban Decay has very cute packaging for all of their products!



Nars blush is another one among the favorites. I am loving the color called Orgasm which is a peachy pink color with a little shimmer. This color is a must have for all skin tones. I really looks great on everyone. I also have the Nars lip-gloss in Orgasm as well which I really love!



And last but not least I'm really loving this hot NEON pink finger nail polish from China Glaze. I'm usually strickly and OPI kind of gal...however China Glaze has some awesome colors so I cracked and decided to try them out. I must say I'm in love with this color. I currently have it on my toes and I love it SO much!



Anyway that's all for now my lovelies. I'm sure there will be more favorite things posted in the future, but those are the things I'm REALLY loving at the moment! So until next time...

Suicide Roll

Who doesn't want this awesome hair?! I have to say this is the easiest, most fun hair style I've done in awhile so I just have to share! I LOVE the pin up style with a modern twist so when I saw THIS video I just had to try it out!! Not only is this a super awesome style, but it's great for keeping your hair out of your face!




PS--don't mind my nose mark from my sunglasses!

Hello my lovelies!

Welcome to my NEW blog! For awhile now I've been wanting to start a blog where I could share my love for fashion, make-up, and basically just everything and anything I feel like talking about! So let my start by introducing myself. I'm Lexi, a 20-something year old fashion student who still doesn't know exactly what I want to be when I grow up! Currently I work as a nail technician based out of my home. I LOVE what I do. I love that I get to socialize on a daily basis, and build great personal relationships with people.

The last 5 years of my life have been spent with my amazing partner! We got married about 3.5 years ago, and love our lives together. We have been through SO much, and he is such an important part of my life and I couldn't imagine life without him! Seriously what a great guy :) Together we have our two little fur babies Lily and Harlow; the light of our lives for real! These are honest to goodness the worlds most spoiled dogs! I'm sure you'll hear more about them in posts to come.

Anyway that's a little about me! Any questions just feel free to ask...you can always reach me at lexipaige28@gmail.com

Welcome to my world!
