Oxblood, Fall's Hottest Color

Oxblood has been all over the runway, blogs, and magazines as this Fall's hottest color.  If the name is odd, it reminds of a sexy deep dark burgundy, maroon, or brick.   This color is more wearable because of its versatility

I wore false eyelashes over the weekend and I hadn't done so in awhile. The Eyelash trend started a few years ago with thicker, bolder lashes. Nowadays they come in all lengths and colors and even jewelry. I've always admired anyone that can put the individual eyelashes on. I could never do it and I have never been talented enough to do either. But I still try.

Minx Nails

The newest rage in Nail wear is the Minx Nails. They have been spotted on several celebs such as Beyonce, Rihanna and Fergie. Alternative to nail polish, they are Nail Coverings made of flexible film strips that are applied with heat and pressure. They can be custom made and don't smudge, chip, or have a long drying time. Minx is the creation of Los Angeles based manicurist Kimmie Kyees. She was on hand of both Rihanna's "Rude Boy" video and Fergies "Imma Be Rocking That Body" with the futuristic Hologram Minx Nails.
