BLACK MILK LEGGINGS

Its safe to say i'm actually OBSESSED with Black Milk leggings.  Ive always been a little eccentric and I was NEVER one to follow the crowd.  I do what feels right and I wear whatever fits my personality.  And these leggings definitely tickle my fancy. 

I first learned about the tights and company watching a quirky girl on youtube check her out ...     GRAV3YARDGIRL 


Black Milk is an online clothing store from Australia.  It actually has a pretty neat rags to riches story.  Now I will admit the prices seem VERY high but trust me they are definitely worth saving for, nice quality and for the time being pretty unique :D.  I say that because there are knock offs popping up every where but its just not the same :P

The company was started by a dude named James Lillis, who has a team creating these lovely little bits of clothing heaven.  So is it worth the high price?  in my opinion YES.

Now  for the details:

I'm 5'4 and a Latina so im thick ...mmmkay!  I have a big butt and thick thighs so I was afraid the leggings would not fit me according to the website's measurements. A size large is made to fit in waist 33in, hips 41.3in,  thighs 25in, and calves 15.  I currently am in between sizes.  I fit a size 8 or 10 in US sizing. 

My waist is 36, hips are 42.5in, thighs 25in and calves are 16in! YES I HAVE BIG CALVES grrrrr.  The size large do fit.  The material is a bit forgiving, they do have a little stretch to them.  Nicest part? the fabric holds everything in place...no jiggle jaggle...ohhh yeahhhhhh.

If you been interested in getting yourself one of these bad boys ive made a brief video check it out to see how they fit....

   NEW YORK

Kate Spade just came out with a line inspired by THE BIG APPLE.

I <3 everything kate spade so i made a wish board and got my first item from the list.

follow me on instagram @sugalynnie

The  CAT flats  <~~~~ view them there.  These are absolutely adorable and they were actually pretty affordable considering they're kate spade.  tip join the website to get 15% off  on your first order online or if you are a student you get 15% off with student id in stores.

When i ordered these i thought they were shoes you can wear outside.  I would not suggest that,  view the photo below,  the sole is soft and would not support your feet for outside use.  Treat these like slippers.  They do pinch a tad bit in the back but i'm sure with time that will go away.  I wear an 8 1/2 but i ordered the 9 and they fit fine.

so long until my next post MEOW

Nars Andy Warhol Debbie Harry Eyeshadow Palette

 NARS ANDY WARHOL DEBBIE HARRY PALETTE

Andy Warhol was  a major contributor to the POP ART movement of the 60's.  Pop art images were of popular subjects of the times ie soup cans! 

As an artist, I am very familiar with Warhol, so you can imagine I was very excited to learn Nars was introducing a limited edition Andy Warhol collection. 

This particular palette is the Debbie Harry Palette.  Debbie Harry was the lead singer in the very popular New Wave or Punk Rock band of the 80's known as BLONDIE!

This is an exclusive SEPHORA palette selling for 65 US dollars.  There are 4 eye shadows, one blush and a highlight.  All the shades in this palette are extremely glittery but from what i have read on the sephora website there is a reason for that and i quote "Reinterpreting the glamour and grit of Debbie Harry’s downtown scene, this audacious palette of shimmering shadows and blushes was created exclusively for Sephora. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s use of Diamond Dust, this sultry spectrum sparkles with shimmer and micronized diamond powder."
 
I have to admit the quality of these shades are not the best...



 PART 1

All the palettes have a quote on the mirror

THE SWATCHES

EYE SHADOW COLORS: white shimmer, sparkling turquoise, twinkling purple, starry black

BLUSH COLORS: brilliant cream, shimmering pink champagne.

living proof nourishing styling cream for curly hair

 

If you havent already figured it out I HAVE CURLY HAIR... :D I love my curly hair but i love BIG FLUFFY CURLS !

For many many years I struggled with my hair and did not know how to properly care for it so I didn't always embrace my curls. ]

Oh how the times have changed... There are so many fantastic products out there for our kind of hair.  AND THANK GOODNESS! for the CURLY GIRL METHOD! stay tuned for a future blog on the curly girl method, basically it's using as little to no silicone or sulfate products on your hair. 

The Living Proof Nourishing Styling Cream  was introduced to me in one of my earlier MYGLAM bags.  Im glad i finally decided to use this because I am truley loving it.   It leaves my hair bouncy, soft and shiny.  

You currently can find this at  SEPHORA.  A 4oz retails for 26 US dollars and I just noticed on the online website they offer an 8oz for 36 US dollars (pft wish I had known that before).

If you are still enrolled in MYGLAM you can purchase a trial kit with a 4oz styling cream, a 2oz sized shampoo, and a 2oz conditioner for 35 US dollars. 

 Since it is being sold at sephora and there are sephoras just about everywhere in the US, its worth at least to get a little sample and trying it out for yourself.
