Ahhh Barbie, every, always the little fashion plate isn’t she? Barbie continues to take the fashion world by storm even after 50 years of doing so. Designer Christian Louboutin is the latest to makeover our much beloved doll. Christian gave Barbie a head-to-toe Parisian makeover and dressed her up in a khaki, safari inspired dress and over the knee, hot pink fringed boots, Barbie is ready to rock the Spring season.
This isn’t Christian Louboutin’s first outfit for Barbie as last November he revealed the Cat Burglar Barbie. Her new, modern look represents a take on a more chic, designers style philosophy.
The best part about her? Her shoes of course. Barbie knows shoes like any good woman and she comes complete with a wardrobe of three alternative pairs of shoes, complete with mini Christian Louboutin boxes and bags, a nod to the famous shoe niches from his boutiques.
The ultimate collectible item is now available for $150 on Net-A-Porter and the Barbie Collector website!
Wanna win this chic Barbie for yourself? The Muse has one to give away!

Hey chicks!
The final round of the Bobbi Brown Cosmetics Pretty Powerful video contest is here and it’s voting time!
As you recall the Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful launched a new campaign called Pretty Powerful, which celebrates Bobbi’s belief that all women possess natural beauty. Her vision and belief is that with the right tools we can can be empowered to a higher level of pretty. The campaign featured real chicks, like you and or Friends of Bobbi and their before and after photos, videos, and testimonials as the centerpiece content of the Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful campaign, which is live at BobbiBrownCosmetics.com/PrettyPowerful.
I was so going to do a video but I chickened out plus I was so busy I didn’t have a second to whip something up.
Anyway! Fifteen semifinalists were chosen and have created a second round of videos demonstrating flawless and flattering makeup applications using Bobbi Brown Cosmetics Color Strips Palettes. The gallery of these semifinalists’ videos will open for today on March 12th.
Bust most important of all you’ll be helping women in need by voting. For every single vote cast, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics will donate $1 to Dress for Success, an organization close to Bobbi’s heart that provides underprivileged women with interview suits and career development advice.
I surely hope you’ll consider heading to www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/prettypowerful to show your support and cast your vote!
Bobbi will actually hand pick winners once the public has voted and narrowed down the selection to these top 5 videos. Winners are flown to New York to join her master makeup class!
I hope you’ll consider heading over and voting! I’m having a blast watching the videos right now and choosing my fav!
Gather round chicks, tis story time.
I have alot of blush. I mean like too many, like I need more faces to wear it all. I know you can all relate to this.
Honestly, after collecting so many blushes, it’s somewhat hard to amaze, delight, or shock me with a new shade as they all starting to run together and in most cases are easily duped by shades I already have in my collection.
However………….!
Drum roll please.
I’m loving Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek Blush in Parasol!


Unique, pretty, and fancy pants packaging…I think me and Parasol are going to go steady for a long time, I might just slip a ring on it!

I love Asia, I love Asians, I love Asian culture (you won’t find a person that appreciates it more than me!) but even I can admit that some of the products that come out of Asia have me wondering to myself, WTH!?
