My favorite perfumes!!

Something I love sooooo much is perfume, it is hard for me to even walk into a department store beauty section because I just go crazy and smell everything and want everything!! Seriously, it is one of my favorite things in the world.. I love when they give out those perfume samples in stores, makes me so happy:) And these are some of my favorite perfumes and body sprays...

I don't know what it is about Curve Kicks that I like so much, but it just has something about it for me, I really like how strong it is because it lasts longer than a body spray

Lovee this scent, but Elizabeth Taylor's scent could be nothing but wonderful, plus it is my favorite color!!

I know this is just a cheap little body spray but it is honestly one of my favorite fragrances, even topping some of the more expensive ones

I love all Victoria's Secret sprays and perfumes, but this is one of my favorites

Vera Wang Princess perfume is probably my most favorite scent EVER. I am almost out though:(

Along with all of these, all the Pink by Victoria's Secret are some of my favs too.... but I have so many favorites!! How can I chose just one...? Tell me in the comments what your favorite perfumes are and I might check them out because it obvious how obsessed I am with perfume of really any kind

Winter Look Eye Shadow Tutorial..of sorts

I have not been posting enough in my opinion so today will just be a blog-a-palooza for me. I am a total girly girly so today the topic of choice is eye shadow...

This is a great look to do for fall/winter, it is green which is a great fall color and could be used for day or night. Using the darkest green on the corner of the eyelid, and then in the middle brush on a medium green and gradually get lighter until you reach the left corner where you put a light shade of green or a white to highlight the eyes. Shade the outer parts of the eye (the parts that are not the eyelid) with shades that get gradually lighter as you approach the brow bone, finishing at or near the brow bone with a light color. This is the basic formula for any smokey eye look. Hope the instructions that accompanied the pictures were helpful.

Crush of the week!

So I have been insanely busy lately, but what's new right? I have also officially become ok with the fact that I don't have a life except for cheerleading. That cheerleading is my life. And I am ok with that I think... but enough rambling excuses. I also had a one act play this week!! It went so well, expect another post about that! But back to my original purpose: my crush of the week happens to be:

Keith Richards

Yep, hottie from the sixties band The Rolling Stones is my pick. He is really beautiful, but not in the same way as Mick. Mick is a boy pretty. And Keith is more just a normal cute. Enjoy the pictures and the video. I have a cheer competition tomorrow wish me luck!!!!

My Song of the Moment

Guess what my song of the moment is?? It is a song by Wiz Khalifa, no sleep. I loveeee this song so much. I mean, this is weird coming from the girl whose favorite band is Led Zeppelin. But I love all kinds of music, and for some reason this song is just the best to me right now. So without further ado, here is the video. Enjoy, I know I will:)

What Remains of Heaven- Book Review Time!!

What Remains of Heaven is a book I recently read. It is one of those mystery novels that there are a billion of just like it, but I think this one had something different. It was so amazing! But before I get into the details I feel it necessary to give a summary..
SUMMARY:
The latest request for help from Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin--from the Archbishop of Canterbury, no less--is undeniably intriguing: The bodies of two men have been found in an ancient crypt, their violent deaths separated by decades. One is the Bishop of London, the elderly Archbishop's favored but controversial successor. The identity of the other seems lost in time, although his faded velvet attire marks him as gentleman of the eighteenth century.

To Sebastian's consternation, the last person to see the Bishop alive was Miss Hero Jarvis, a woman whose already strained relationship with St. Cyr has been complicated by a brief, unexpectedly passionate encounter. It also soon becomes obvious that her powerful father has reasons of his own for wanting the Bishop out of the way. In an investigation that leads from the back alleys of Smithfield to the power corridors of whitehall, Sebastian amasses a list of suspects that ranges from some of the Prince Regent's closest cronies to William Franklin, embittered son of famous American patriot Ben Franklin. Each step Sebastian takes toward the killer brings him closer to a devastating truth that could ultimately force him to question who--and what--he really is.

Does that not sound amazing??? Because it was!! It is a mystery in which the main character Sebastian trys to find the killer of the bishop and so on but personally part of why I absolutely loved this book was because of Sebastian! He was an absolutely great character! He was a bit of a partier, but also a devil may care, smart, witty, free thinking, funny, interesting, and brave guy. He was very noble through it all. In a time when many men were.. well, complete assholes, he was by contrast very very different. The story has a great plot to it, and keeps you guessing the whole way through! I loved every minute of it! I would seriously suggest that everyone go and read it! It is just one of the books in the Sebastion St. Cyr mystery series though, I sincerely want to read the entire series. And when I get the other books in the series you will be reading about them on here! So, everyone go buy this book now and read it!! Or atleast comment below and tell me how you think it sounds. Questions and comments are always appreciated!

The new show everyone is buzzing about!

The new show everyone is buzzing about (including me) is Pan Am! I think it is the best show! And it really inspires me to be.. well... pretty. I know that sounds insane but it does! The classic beauty and feminine early 60's looks that the show presents are just so beautiful. And the girls look absolutely perfectly dazzling! The show is awesome too! It is so great with an interesting plot and keeps you watching! Expect lots of future posts on the fashion and so much more from this show! Oh, how I was born in the wrong freaking time!!! Uhhh, stuff like this shows me what I missed.. even if the seventies is my decade I still would take the sixties (Especially the early sixties) over today. ANY DAY! Gosh... ok, before I think to hard about it and make myself unhappy. Hope you all have an awesome day and week :)

Pictures of Robert Plant as Promised:)

These pictures speak for themselves:)
