The Inspiration: Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

A little bummed... wait REALLY bummed that these looks by H&M never arrived in the Pacific NW.  Well,  specifically Portland.  Nonetheless, I have been inspired once again and will be searching for them.  Most importantly, Doc Martens must somehow be incorporated with the inspiration above.

On the shopping list:

Motorcycle leather pants

Denim vest, vintage wash

Slouchy sweat pants

Hoody

Aaaand go!

The Know: Must Have Brushes

T Magazine  recently had an article about make up brushes you must have.  Ironically, I was at the MAC counter last week and spoke to a pro about brushes.  Needless today say... these are the brushes we both agreed that we have and use day in, day out.

Power and Liquid L Round brush (Hakuhodo)

Concealer brush (Estee Lauder)

Eye shadow (Shiseido)

Foundation (Revlon)

Touch Up (Chanel No. 8)

When applying eye shadow (typical powder) the best brush to start with is a flat brush.  But blending the shadow requires a blending brush or a pencil brush (which is great for tiny corners).  Just added the latter to my collection and am in love with it.

The Music: Rihanna You Da One

This video is inspiring an urban look in me...

I see... bowler hat, acid washed jeggings and suspenders.  Black.

Look to follow!
