Wishlist Wednesday: Crystals
Crystals are quickly becoming one of my jewelry staples and particularly the raw earthen variety. I’m keeping my eye on the Hiya Moon piece since it’s the perfect amount of gypsy witch and punk.

HELP ROXY!
So this dog, named Roxy, is available for adoption at the Humane Society of New York. Not sure if the pearls are included, but if you’re into her, you can inquire here.
More professionally done photographs of adoptable pets here.
I don’t normally post many reblogs on Tumblr but I really must speak up when it comes to finding animals good, safe, and loving homes. Please adopt them!
Always & forever.

This is my go-to makeup look when I want to make a high impact but I’m running low on time. Over the last year, I’ve been practicing putting on fake lashes and working with glue can be a little frustrating. Now, that I have the hang of it, doll-like lashes and a bright red lip are my make up staples.
If you need some tips for putting on fake eyelashes, all I can say is: practice, practice, practice. A large free-standing vanity mirror is a huge help, q-tips for excess glue, and patience. Oh, and loads of black eyeliner to cover up the lash glue. This tutorial is a great resource.

Drooling over these images isn’t enough - I need to replicate some of these looks! Lace, high heels, sweetheart necklines, deep black, or perhaps a bright teal. Yes, indeed.
