Inspired Look: NYC Lights

Here's a look inspired by my birthplace, New York City.

I wanted a look that captured the different shades of black, grey, gold, and hints of blue.

Such a wonderful place...

This is what happens when you watch too much Jersey Shore!  Don't judge me.

Happy New Year!!

I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!  I am very excited for 2012 as it is the year of new beginnings. Yay 2012!!

Although I spent the evening with my lovely family, I still wanted to put on a fancy face.

I'm really digging the way my makeup turned out, however, I forgot my camera battery at home and had to use my iPhone. So I do apologize for the picture quality.
