These are a few of my favorite things.....

Hello world!!! This is my first post, so I thought for the big debut I'd let you in on a few of my most favorite glamorous things, enjoy......

1. SMASHBOX O-GLOSS

This gloss is amazing!! its super shiny and NEVER sticky (bc we all know how un-glamorous is is when your hair sticks to your lips and causes the spider web look that is def never in fashion) while keeping your lips sexy and slick is brightens them by naturally turning them a pinkish color with its Goji Berry-C (whatever that is) complex and Pomegranate. The color your lips turn is different on everyone mine is like a light cranberry while some are peachy. It's very scientific!

2. Ornate tea cups -

Why should anyone subject themselves to using a "mug" that says "worlds best fill in blank" ?? if your one who loves to host (like yours truly) you'll get yourself a set of some really chic tea cups. The one in the image is from Anthropologie and I have all 5 colors and while they are absolutely gorgeous they are seriously WAY too small for sipping anything. I wish I had known that before I ordered all 5, but anyway that's OK bc I'm a lover of thrift stores and I scored a few sets for less than $10 that are just as precious! I feel so special whenever I use them and so do my guests...it's OK if you mix and match sets too! That always makes it more glam!

3. Cupcakes  -
Anyone who knows me knows these are my obsession!! i LOVE LOVE LOVE cupcakes! But not just Any cupcake, glamorous in flavor cupcakes. I LOVE treating people to special tasty treats and it's usually a cupcake of some original flavor from cookies and cream, mudslides, SAMOAS (theses are the favs of many) and even Pina Colada (my personal fav) along with many other flavors, recipes may be posted later....if your lucky

4. Mirrored Furniture  - 
I'm obsessed with that whole Hollywood Glam look. Chandeliers and Dramatic Chais lounges, my entire apartment is adorned in this look. Mirrored furniture really takes this look to a whole other level. It just SCREAMS glamour. Most mirrored furniture is super expensive but I just had to have at least one piece so I bought this vanity from JC Penny (of all places!!) the price was so right at $300.00 esp since it was on sale! I use it as a writing desk and my Macbook (which is covered in pink Swarofski crystals of course) sits so perfectly on top!

5. Buttoned Vanity Chair -
OK so if your going to get the mirrored vanity you need the Glam chair too!!! how could I resist! I love that its pink. It adds such a girlie feminine touch!  Also from Jc Penny!
