Snapshot Fashion Is On Fiverr

I have been hearing about Fiverr for some time now, and recently went out there to see what all the fuss is about. I have to say, this site is so much fun! If you have never heard about Fiverr let me explain what it is. Basically, it is a website where you can buy or sell services for $5 a pop. Some of the services are very creative, helpful, and even funny.


I made an account on there for Snapshot Fashion where I will give fashion advice. Be sure to stop on by and check it out. I will be updating my gigs regularly, so be sure to keep checking back!

Anastasia Beverly Hills- Want You To Want Me & Kisses On My List Kits


I am absolutely obsessed with Anastasia Beverly Hills makeup. Not only is their makeup of amazing quality, but their packaging (and promotional advertisements) are so fun and pretty! The other week I was happy to receive two great kits from my friends at Anastasia Beverly Hills.


The Want You To Want Me Eye Shadow Palette ($34)- this kit is so cool because it come in a handy (and adorable) little clutch. Complete with nine shadows, black liquid liner, and brow gel...it's a great kit to keep handy while on the go or even while traveling.


Their Kisses On My List Gloss Set ($30)- this set features six high-shine ultra-hydrating glosses in matte and shimmer shades. What I love most about these glosses is that they last all day. They come in beautiful pinks and corals that work with just about every skin tone. 

Be sure to stop by Sephora or Anastasia.net to purchase these kits.

Google+ Hangout- 2012 Emmy Awards

This Sunday the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards will be televised and I couldn't be more excited. I have to admit, these are probably my favorite awards to watch. I'm not hip with new music...so I almost never watch the Grammy Awards. I can't tell you the last time I went to see a movie in the theater...so when the Academy Awards are on I typically haven't seen any that are nominated. But I do watch my fair share of television. Maybe too much???


I have hosted a number of Google+ Hangouts for award shows in the past, and thought it would be a blast to do this again. It seems that as of recently people are starting to get very interested with Google+ Hangouts. Personally, I think they are so much fun! If you have no idea what a hangout is, or haven't tried one yet let me explain. It is a multi-person video chat. Up to ten people can chat in one session. It's so cool!

There are two rules that I have for this hangout session-
1) You must have the E! channel to join. It would be really silly to join in on the conversation if you couldn't see what we are talking about.
2) Please make sure that you have an idea on how to use Google+ Hangout prior to the hangout session. Make sure your webcam and microphone are working. In the past there have been a lot of people that wanted to join in and didn't know what they were doing...which had them miss the video chat. If you are asking what is Google+, you need to have a gmail account to access this.

This Sunday tune into E! for their red carpet coverage starting at 6pm eastern time. We'll be chatting about our favorite (and least favorite) looks as we see them live until 8pm eastern time. You do not have to be there for the entire two hours. If you are interested in joining in on the fun be sure to email me and I will get you on the list!

I hope to see you there!!!

Cover Story

September is not only huge for the runways, but also for fashion magazines everywhere. I know when I think of the September issue, I instantly think of Vogue...as well as the documentary of the same name (which I loved!). If you have yet to see it definitely add it to your Netflix queue right away!

I thought it would be fun to see how Vogue is showcasing their covers for this much anticipated issue. Let's take a trip around the stylish world of Vogue.

UK

Russia

Mexico

India

I personally love the Russia and India covers. What do you think of these covers? Which one is your favorite?

Lookin' Fab

Can I just say that I am dying over this printed Peter Pilotto dress! Katharine McPhee has never looked so stunning. Don't you agree? The bold dress, the colorful shoes, and the perfect hairstyle...so lovely. She really brought her A-game to New York Fashion Week.


What do you think of this look? Would you ever wear a bold printed dress similar to this?

Fall Trends- 2012

Fall is upon us, and that means so are some new trends for the season. Here are my favorite trends for this fall. Which will you be fashioning?

1) Deep Berry Lips- Adding bold color to your lips is the easiest way to transform your look. I often like to play up my lips, because it requires no skill. To this day I still have issues with putting on my eye makeup (although I have been getting much better with it lately)...intense lips are fool proof! This fall is all about the deep berry pout. I am a huge fan of Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick. I need to purchase the brilliant bordeaux shade.

2) Suede Smoking Slipper- I have to have this trend in my wardrobe now! I love a cute pair of flats, and these are so much cuter than the usual ballet flats. I adore this fuchsia pair from Gap ($39.95). The would instantly dress up any casual look.

3) Polka Dot Jeans- Add some spots to your denim this season. It gives jeans a feminine kick and adds just a touch of fun to your casual look. These Polka Dot Verdugo Skinny Jeans from Paige Denim ($190) are the cutest! Don't you agree?

4) Full Brows- As far as brows are concerned, the fuller the better this autumn. When it comes to brows I trust mine to Anastasia Beverly Hills. Filling in brows is so simple to do with their kits. The Beauty Express for Brows and Eyes kit available at Sephora ($39.50) is #1 in my book!

5) The Chambray Shirt- Instead of dressing pieces of your wardrobe up, the chambray shirt dresses your outfit down...in a good way. You could pair it with a skirt and knee high boots...or a bold pair of pants and sky high heels. It literally goes with EVERYTHING. I can't get enough of this western denim shirt from J. Crew ($98). Western wear never looked so good!

Red Lips & Curls

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Labor Day weekend! Today I curled my hair and did up my makeup...thinking we were going to head on out to walk around town. As soon as I finished getting ready, it started to downpour outside. Fantastic. That's just my luck.


Well, at least hanging out inside the house on a damp and icky day won't make my curls fall flat or start to frizz. And I have to admit, bright red lipstick makes even the dreariest day even better. It makes me instantly happy!  :-)

What are your plans today/tomorrow? Picnics? Shopping? Catching up on some much needed rest?
