My new heart tattoo! I love it!


Happy Valentine's Day to all my lovely readers! I am happy to say that I handed out Hello Kitty valentines to all my co-workers and it made me so happy! I got a few valentines from others as well and it made me feel like a kid again. Looking forward to a relaxing dinner with my boyfriend tonight. I hope everyone enjoys their night with their loved ones. 


I really love both of these looks from Atlantic - Pacific & Cupcakes and Cashmere they are two bloggers that really know how to put together great looks. They are by far two of my favorite fashion bloggers. 


How cute are those marshmallows! Adorable! Do you guys like my new tattoo? I love how simple it is and looks cute with flats or heels. :)


Well gals...Cheers! Enjoy your V-Day!

Girl Crush: Lana Del Rey

All I can say is "wow". This girl is something special...from her good looks, to her amazing voice and great fashion sense she can do no wrong. She has such a retro vibe about her looks as well which is refreshing. I was looking through new releases on iTunes and happened to see this album and checked it out.


The first song I listened to was "Blue Jeans" and I was hooked! She has a very sexy intriguing voice that blows me away. She is being dubbed a "gangsta Nancy Sinatra" by music critics. I think she reminds me of Tori Amos as well because her voice is a little haunting. Two other tracks you should probably check out are "Video Games" and "Born To Die". I highly recommend you check her whole album that came out January 31st called Born To Die. 


Love her! Enjoy!


Peace & Love,
Amy

Stunning ballet dancer in a billowy black dress


I used to be a ballet dancer and still am in my heart. Ballet is not only seen as an art form but it also transcends into the world of fashion. Elaborate costumes, beautiful lines, and flawless hair and makeup. I like to reference the ballet world when selecting pieces for an outfit. Pale pinks, blacks, and creams all remind me of a world I once knew. 


What inspires you to style your outfits?

NYE Dress & Polish Ideas

Go for a multi-color flirty dress like this one from Topshop.com which is actually on sale now!







Pair your multi-color dress with a fun Deborah Lippmann polish called Happy Birthday.




You could try something more geo-metric with shapes instead of simple sequins. I love this silver sequin shift dress from topshop.com, which is also on sale!




If you go with a dress like that it would look stunning with a black glitter polish like this amazing shade from Dior.





Finally you could always go with the standard classic gold sequin dress which never goes out of style year after year. LOVE this classic look for NYE! I found this adorable dress on LuLus.com for only $79!


Not sure if I would pair that particular gold dress with this polish, but this polish from Deborah Lippmann is so just amazing! I would go for a more muted gold tone polish to go with the dress from LuLus. However, this is an amazing shade if you have a bright gold dress or want to pair it with a silver dress too! 




Finally I found this dress via Pinterest which is absolutely incredible!! 





I love this adorable drink idea also via Pinterest! You could easily make this drink with the following three things:


1. St. Germain liqueur (for a grapefruit-y splash)
2. X-Rated Fusion liqueur (for the pink color)
3. Champagne (for the bubbles)
4. Garnish with DIY glitter stars attached to a stick or straw. Served over ice.




Happy New Year Everyone! Let's make 2012 a great year!
Thanks for all your support in 2011. 


Peace & Love,
Amy Bird
