MATTE Nails.

Matte nails are a hot new trend.  I just picked one up recently, by O.P.I.  At first I was a little skeptical, all the way up until the point I got them on my nails.  You would think they would feel dry and uncomfortable.  When the polish dried though, it was totally weird and and totally cool.  (They dry very fast by the way, you can just put them on and go.  It's a very unique look and they actually feel smooth to touch.  O.P.I. has some pretty colors in matte and they also have an O.P.I. suede collection which looks like matte but with a little bit of sparkle to it.  Remember you are not supposed to put a base or top coat on, just use as is.  Another thing, they do not last long on your nails, they just about come off as easy is you put it on.  What I do is put an extra coat on every day for as long as I can until it gets too thick and then I just re-do.  Try it!!!

EVERYTHING EMBELLISHED

   Key word:  Studs. Studs.  Studs.  And more studs.  If you're out shopping you can't avoid these embellishments that are literally on everything out there.  The City's Olivia Palermo looks chic, embellished out from head to toe.  Megan Fox is sporting a rocker look with a studded belt and studded boots.  Wow, she makes those boots look good!  And last but not least, I love Eva in this fully embellished dress in nude.  That color looks so great on her skin tone, she's absolutely glowing!

Here are some of my favorite studded clothes, shoes, and accessories I thought you might enjoy:

This Kimikal Leopard Stud Dress is $140 at Dulcet Couture.  So cute!

This is by far my favorite, a studded bootie by Christian Louboutin, $150!

A rose studed belt by GUESS, $60.

A sexy low back metal stud minidress by Frederick's of Hollywood, $29.99.

A beautiful tote by Betsey Johnson with whips and studs, $192.00.  A dash of S&M....I like it.

A turquoise studded purse by Pink Ice for $37.99.

SARAH PALIN Going...VOGUE?

Ok, this magazine cover was from 2008, but all this talk about Sarah, and her new book 'Going Rogue' is stirring up old, of what I thought was forgotten, sentiments in me.

I remember watching her on TV throughout the campaign last year, almost like a bad accident that you wanted to look away but for some reason you couldn't stop staring in awe.  Her ritzy suits, perfectly tailored coats, impeccable face, and lets not forget designer shoes were captivating on screen.  We must give credit where credit is due.  But then............she spoke.

Why I hate.....er.....envy Sarah Palin?  (Those two words are sometimes used interchangeably, am I right?)  - HER $150,000 WARDROBE.

EARTH to SEQUINS!!! - This season's HOTTEST trend....

The Hills girls are sparkling in these sequined numbers and even if you're not fan, you can't deny how eye-catching these pieces look.

If you can get past her unsightly (and what looks like unwashed) hair, Shakira is sporting a sequined cardigan herself.

Taylor Swift looks graceful and elegant as usual in her sparkly cinderella-esque dress.

Rihanna, true to form, always the first to sport the latest trend is glowing in this dress covered in sequins.  I love the colors on this dress.  And where is she going with that suitcase, all dressed to the nines??

Here is a sequined tank I found at BCBG.  Oooh,  I'm blinded!  It screams 'notice me'.  To see more of this you can go to their website in my links at the right.

I love this dress, also by BCBG.  The sequins, the prints, the subtle colors...and of course I love minidresses. However, add this to list of things I love and desire, but can't afford.  Sigh......

Here's a lovely sequined dress by H&M.  I'm always thankful for H&M.  Wear this with a wide belt and chunky heels, and all you need is an excuse to go out!

If that was too much sparkle, here is a silk sequined dress by Forever 21.  Subtle sparkle, and still chic and fabulous!

10 INCH STILETTOS!!!

Would you do it???  These monsters of shoes by Alexander McQueen are worn by Daphne Guiness.  Of course, Lady Gaga wore them first in her new video 'Bad Romance'.

Taylor Swift Monologue

Did anybody catch this SNL?  Taylor Swift was soo adorable in it.  Sure, she tried to be funny and all, but let's face it, Taylor Swift is a daintly little princess.  And we like her that way.  The one of her as a prisoner was absolutely hilarious.  They tried to make her look gruff and mean, but eh.... she's just too pretty.
