This is the part of fall merging into winter that I love! Many holidays are just right around the corner which means work parties, banquets, and other sorts of get-togethers every other weekend! Festive parties also means festive eye-make up! Unfortunately, I can never master the "smokey eye" look without looking like a $2 whore but these pictures have it right, down to the crease! And these nail designs will perhaps put together the festive look that I want! :)

 

 A visual step-by-step.

I thought these were a neat change from the usual pink and white!

 

Dark version.

I like the blue in there. 

I have never really been a 'pumpkin carving' type. It may be a mixture of the messiness and the simple fact that I'm just really bad at it. BUT, I did come across some unique painted pumpkins I just absolutely adore and thought you guys might too! Maybe these pictures will help you generate ideas when you come back from an outing to a local pumpkin patch (Weber's Farm anyone?) with your lil kiddies or your loved one. I hope the combination of the crisp clean air, falling of leaves, and changing of colors helps inspire your next painted pumpkin! :) 

The zebra print looks neat!

                                                   These mini glitter pumpkins are so cute!

                                       
                                            I like the idea of pumpkins falling out of a fireplace.

I like the idea of the Monogram as well.

Gold inspired!

Something different with the intricate details.

I LOVE Victoria's Secret like I love grilled cheese, tomato soup, and a good read on a rainy day.  I love them even more because they just came out with their PINK NFL gear! From cute hoodies, to tees, and comfortable yoga pants, I think I'm going to need a second job to pay for my shopping habits.  Oh well, I will at least look Ravens ready for the games! :)

  

 

I'd like to consider myself a beach bum. Actually, I lied. No I don't. I diagnosed myself with ADD back in art school and since then, I can't seem to lay still on a beach towel for more than 2 hours.  I either get urges to buy cheap beach junk at Sunsations or want to indulge in a Dirty Banana at Seacrets.  I'm currently on a hunt for cute beach bags and other fun accessories to pull my summer wardrobe together.
