Tights and Leggings

Right now I'm really into fun tights and leggings. I love neon tights that pop from underneath a skirt or dress, and I admire the funky abstract patterns you can find on various leggings. I really covet the H&M leggings below. They would really pump up the little black dress or black shorts or a black jumpsuit.



I need to get down to H&M one of these days. It really has some fantastic clothing at very good prices. Also, I want to check out Madonna's collection. It seems pretty nice to me...I love that kimono-style dress that's being featured. Very classy, no?

Want Asian Street Fashion?

Well, you're in luck. Asiajam.com sells adorable clothing and accessories imported from Asia. Some of them are too cutesy or puffy for the average American, but others are just right for putting together unique, fun look. The prices aren't bad either.

I like a lot of the items for sale there (Those Hello Kitty purses are so sweet!), but there was one item that really stood out. The skirt pants (shown above) are cute and unique. I've never seen or heard of skirt pants, but I hope they make it big. I may just buy these and bring the trend to America.

Fun Makeup

Lately I've been noticing a lot of fun, bold, colorful makeup hitting the shelves - and peoples' faces. Here are some of the items that have caught my eye.


Sugar Eyes Eye pallet by Sugar Cosmetics, $19.00
I love the wide range of bold, funky colors in this pallet. It looks so fun to play with!


Kajal Bullit by Styli-Style, $6.50
Kajal has apparently been used in India for thousands of years. Get those dark, thick lines that you see on Indian dancers, or just use it as a normal eyeliner.


Tokidoki Lip Gloss by Smashbox, $18.00
That's right, Tokidoki is now decorating Smashbox cosmetics! Who can resist a lip gloss covered in such cute designs?


Eye Candy by Hard Candy, $12.50
These sweet eye shadows come in brightly colored containers. With hearts. Awwww...


Blushcake by Pop Beauty, $19.00
Five shades of blush to mix and match...What could be better?


Fruit Lip Shines by Apt. 5, $6.50
These lip shines boast bright colors and sweet, fruity flavors. I have to try them to see if they taste as good as I've been told.


Tantalizing Tamer by Bourjois, $28.00
Find this fun, circus-y eyeshadow pallet at Sephora. These babies are limited edition, so snap them up before they're gone!


Gloss Bonbons by Jelly Pong Pong, $8.00
A cute, sweet lip-and-cheek stain. Yum!
