Copycat - Equipment vs Forever 21
F21 is definitely known for xeroxing styles in the past but this copycat is pretty blatant.

What's Hot Now - Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie was my pick for best dressed at the Golden Globes this year. Her Atelier Versace gown and red accessories were flawless. I think this look would be easy to recreate with the right dress. The Tibi dress is the right start. The Bag Snob has the inside scoop on Angie's decadent Louboutin clutch.

Copycat - Phillip Lim vs Melie Bianco
I have loved the Phillip Lim satchel since it came out last year. It's stylish, minimalist design, "had me at hello!"
The Melie Bianco has the identical top handles, side zippers and long strap - it is definitely a copycat in my eyes.

Jason Wu for Target - February 5
Yesterday, T Magazine, the New York Times Style Magazine, released the above two images from the newest Target collaboration with Jason Wu. The collection will be in stores February 5th. The line is inspired by French New Wave films. In terms of clothing, I am more interested in this collaboration then the Missoni. I like the classic structure of the dress.
Missoni for Target brought a lot of negativity upon these collaborations, because of lack of stock and misinformation in general for the online items. I wonder if those experiences will affect the sales for Jason Wu?
Poplin dress, $40, and satchel, $50.

Happy 2012
Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful holidays. I don't make hard and fast resolutions for the New Year. My list leans more towards general goals. I think setting goals is always important and can be made at any point during the year. The slate is clean, and its a brand new start. What goals or resolutions are you implementing? Here are mine:
1. Be more organized, especially at work. I bought a new binder and a new journal to implement this goal.
2. Live outside of my comfort zone and take more risks.
3. Eat healthier lunches. I need to pack my own lunch and not eat at the local sandwich shop.
4. Craft at least three DIY projects on my pinterest board.
5. Finish major house projects.
6. Perfect my italian cooking and recipes.
7. Learn how to use my SLR camera.

Ham Cups
I just made these ham cups for our family for brunch. They are very easy to make and very delicious. You could really experiment with these and add different cheeses or veggies.

Happy Winter!

I know its not technically Winter yet, but its awfully cold in Dallas. So I am in full on Winter mode as of today. I'm craving hot chocolate and warm fireplaces.

Review - Morocanoil Curl Defining Cream
For the last 10 years (I am not exaggerating...seriously 10) I have been looking for a product that does everything that Morocanoil Curl Defining Cream does for my hair. I have naturally wavy hair that I like to wear wavy from time to time. I tend to be lazy when it comes to my hair so I was searching for a hair product that I could apply to my damp hair, that would control frizz and promote the natural wave. Every product I tried before Morocanoil did not deliver. This is now my Holy Grail.
I applied the product last night to my slightly damp hair. I did blow dry my hair a little bit then climbed into bed and - VIOLA, when I woke up this morning I had perfectly wavy, none-frizzy hair. I added a small amount of Aveda Style Prep Smoother to the ends of my hair and a little hairspray too to set the hair. Next time I think I will use a diffuser when I blow dry and see how that works.
The Morocanoil line of products is not easy to find. I went to Ulta, Sephora and Nordstroms and neither of them carry the products. Crazy! So I called my stylist and she said they just started carrying it at her salon. It is pricey but it is also a huge bottle so hopefully it lasts me awhile.
