"That Touch of Mink"

No, I'm not talking about the 1962 movie with Cary Grant & Doris Day (although it looks fabulous). The touch of mink I'm referring to is MINKEYE false eyelashes!

Handmade from 100% mink fur that has been gently combed from the mammals' famously luxurious coat, MINKEYE lashes are sterilized, hypo-allergenic, contain no dyes or chemicals & are very safe for use on the eyes. They also claim to be absolutely cruelty-free.

When properly stored & cared for they can be worn 20-30 times!

Mink false eye lashes have been worn by celebrities (such as Oprah, Jennifer Lopez & Madonna) for years, but haven't been priced for the average woman until recently.

My Christmas List

This may look like the wish list of a 13 year old, but what can I say? I'm a kid at heart.

DIY: Marc Jacobs Studded Ballet Slippers

The Inspiration:

The Result:

How To DIY:

First, I had to buy the supplies. I ordered the Capezio ballet slippers from Discount Dance Supply & the studs from eBay. For the tools, I used a #2 Xacto knife and a pair of jewelry pliers. I used the knife to puncture small holes where I wanted to put the studs and then bent the prongs inward using the pliers.

*Warning: Be extremely careful while using the Xacto knife as they are very sharp! Also, be wary of slicing the leather too much. If you do, the studs won't stay in place.

Altogether, they came to about $20. They sell these same exact slippers on Bona Drag for $48! Plus shipping!!

I bought a package of 50 studs, so I thought I'd "bedazzle" a pair of boots too! (Before on right)

Fashion Inspiration

I've been seeing alot of stylish girls around my town lately and they've inspired me to be a bit more adventurous in my wardrobe choices. Here's a styleboard I made in honor of them:

Free ZOYA Lip Gloss!
