Bebe Shoes....

This morning I was window shopping for shoes and thought I'd check out Bebe's shoe collection. Personally, I do like Bebe's designs but the sizing on the pieces are horrendous. They run horribly small and will make a size sixer run out of the store in tears, but whatever, on to the shoes....

Belinda platform sandal $149

Benetta snake buckle sandal $189

Bayard slingback sandal $119

Meg metallic platform sandal $129
While I was there, I checked out their accessories, and I need this necklace in my life:

Metallic dipped drape necklace $29

Say it ain't so...Prescriptives going out of business :(

I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who has a horrible time finding the right foundation and powder. I have oily skin on some parts and extremely dry skin on other parts of my face, ugh. I have searched high and low for the right make up that would control the shiny parts and stay on. I have tried Elizabeth Arden, Mac, Chanel, bla bla bla bla....Until one day a friend of mine mentioned Prescriptives to me. I had always loved her make up so I decided to give it a try. I was color matched at the counter and given the Virtual Matte foundation and powder to try. I have never found anything else that compares.

That's why I was in a panic when I found out that Prescriptives is going out of business :( Global wholesale distribution ended on January 31, 2010 and the website will be selling their inventory while it lasts.
Do any of you know of a great oil controlling foundation and/or powder? Suggestions please!

Ten Procedures In One Day......

This has nothing to do with fashion buuuuttttt......I was reading through People Magazine earlier and just couldn't resist posting because I would just love to hear your comments...
23 year old Heidi Montag recently has 10 plastic surgery procedures done in one day. Here is the list of procedures done:
1. Mini Brow Lift
2. Botox in forehead and frown area
3. Nose job revision
4. Fat injections in cheeks, nasolabial folds and lips
5. Chin reduction
6. Neck liposuction
7. Ears pinned back
8. Breast augmentation revision
9. Liposuction on waist, hips and inner and outer thighs
10.Buttock augmentation

Here is the before and after picture (property of People Magazine):


Ahhhh, Hollywood...Although it does make me sad that such a young lady went to this extreme to feel perfect, it is ultimately her body and her choice so who am I to judge? However, it just makes me have all the more respect and admiration for those who have imperfections and choose to live with them and love themselves all the more.
I, myself, have nothing against plastic surgery or procedures. I think it really is a personal choice. I have had three children, (along with three c-sections), and had contemplated a tummy tuck to correct it for a long time. But in the end, I chose to accept it and deal with it because it's just not worth the pain or the money to me personally. I do have friends that would strongly disagree and would never live with a post baby body.
So I'd love to hear your input on this. What do you think? All input is welcome :)
