HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Last Sunday, I was invited out to the Old Monk for some good ol’ Pumpkin carving and pints with the ladies to bring back the childhood nostalgia (minus the alcohol of course!). Lay down 10 bones and you got in return a pre-hollowed pumpkin larger than the size of your noggin, kid proof carving kit, and a pint of your favorite ale. Definitely, not a bad way to start a Sunday Funday.
Hi loves, I’m still in the running for… no, not America’s Next Top Model, but even better – Sunglass Hut’s Full Time Fabulous Blogger. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime to become Sunglass Hut’s fashion correspondent to blog about all the latest happenings, events, fashion shows, and of course sunglasses. This all goes down for a year while earning a fat $100K paycheck in an all-expenses paid apartment at the W Downtown with a monthly $1,000 clothing allowance. Imagine all the power lunching at Pastis, then burning off the carbocide while biking in Central Park, a latte at Cafe Gitane while responding to e-mails, mingling and imbibing at The Boom Boom Room, running around the Lincoln Center for NYFW, and jet-setting to Milan and Paris to report back from the runways.
So please help the original “Part Time Lush, Full Time Fabulous” girl nab the job of my dreams and I promise I’ll make this my entire lifestyle. Vote for my video HERE, spread the love by sharing it on Facebook and tweet to your heart’s desire on Twitter.
Thanks for your support! ♥

Dallas is known for our bevy of blondes, yet we’re always welcoming new additions to town like Victoria’s Secret beauties: Candice Swanepole and Erin Heatherton. The lithe supermodels visited Northpark Mall to promote the debut of Victoria’s Secret new fragrance, Bombshell, an aromatic and flirtatious mix of fruity and floral notes. Dallas composed the last stop on their four-city media tour made of Los Angeles, New York, and Miami.
To celebrate the launch, the Northpark store was decked out in a plethora of their signature Victoria’s Secret pink stripes and ever-so-matching peonies that accented the BOMBSHELL fragrance. DJ Locklear spun some top beats to amp up the crowd while onlookers watched the VS Makeup Supermodel Artist Team do their makeover magic on attendees. Shoppers that indulged in VS purchases over $40 received special BOMBSHELL t-shirts and the opportunity to meet-and-greet autograph session with the VS Angels: Candice and Erin. To really encompass the whole supermodel BOMBSHELL experience, a famed fashion photographer was also on-hand snapping cover portraits of guests for their own keepsake photo. The energy and enthusiasm of all the attendees, employees, and Angels was truly electrifying and contagious. Ten lucky winners were brimming with excitement for their personalized Angel experience, one of which could not stop squealing with schoolgirl excitement. I must say, I do indeed I have a major girl crush on both Candice and Erin after the opportunity of meeting and interviewing the both of them.
BOMBSHELL is described as a fruity, floral and aromatic fragrance collection includes notes purple passion fruit, Moscato d’Asti Tuscan grapes, Shangri-la yellow peonies and Vanilla Orchid that combine with the stunning aroma of Italian Sunstruck Pine for a sexy, glamorous and ultra-feminine scent. The collection includes Eau De Parfum, Body Mist, Body Lotion and Luminous Body Powder ($20-$45), available now at Victoria’s Secret stores nationwide and online at VictoriasSecret.com.
Upon review of the new scent, BOMBSHELL reminds me of many limited edition Escada fragrances I had fallen in love with over the years (i.e. Sexy Grafitti, Sentiment, Tropical Punch). Reminiscent of all my past favorites, this scent is cleaner, yet with a complexity from the Italian Pine note. The fragrance wears down well with my chemistry and has long-lasting wear to my surprise. If you’re in search of florals and bouquets with a touch of fruitiness that wears down to a sexy earthiness with an all around fresh and clean smell, then BOMBSHELL is right on the money. Head to your closest Victoria’s Secret and give it a spritz, channel your inner bombshell babe, and report back!
