Yes, lips on the Jason Wu spring runway were bold in this matte reddish-orange shade Scarlet Ibis from MAC Cosmetics! I'm loving bold lipstick more than ever--these really grownup shades are appealing in so many ways! Especially hot right now are all shades of orange including reddish-orange shades like Scarlet Ibis. This color is sold out at MAC.com but if you look around you may be able to find it elsewhere.

For the Jason Wu runway, lips were first outlined with Redd lip pencil-- Scarlet Ibis lipstick was applied--lastly a touch of MAC Pigment in Neo Orange was applied.

The ponytail is one of the hottest hairstyles for spring and summer--and it's no wonder with all the fun ponytails which can be easily created!

I've picked out six of the hottest styles but there are more including the very messy pony, the side ponytail, and the pony with a bump--so you're only limited by your own imagination when it comes to ponytails.

Oh my gosh, aren't these raspberry colored denim jeans fabulous, especially worn with this little black jacket--as styled by French fashion blogger Coline of Et pourquoi pas Coline! While the raspberry denims are super fabulous the little black jacket is even more fabulous and a wardrobe essential for spring to wear with spring colors and prints alike! Having a few black jackets in different weights helps to really expand a wardrobe no matter what the season!

Oh, and Another Thing...

Have you had your annual winter cold yet? I have mine right now--I'm suffering with the usual symptoms--the stuffy nose, sore throat and the like. I tried Zicam but it didn't help--I think I just wasn't quick enough with it--you have to catch it very early for Zicam to help! So here I sit blogging through watery eyes, desperately trying to focus on words swimming across the computer screen.

I feel like I need a little chicken soup--I ran across a chicken soup recipe the other day that was made using a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store--of course, I wasn't sick then so I didn't copy the recipe--I wish I had!

Happy Friday to everyone! We here in California are about to have a much needed drenching rain, so today's discovery is very timely--these cool looking folding boots! Yes, these boots fold up small enough to throw them into a tote bag or put them in a desk drawer--so very cool if you ask me! This is the Folding Rain Boot Welly by Redfoot--this is a lightweight, waterproof boot with warm fleece lining!

Oh, and Another Thing...

I probably shouldn't bring this up (not a fun topic for some), but are you on a diet, or should I say, on a healthy eating plan? It seems that everyone I know is trying to eat healthier--I seriously started cutting out the fat and eating better (which means less) a week ago and I've lost three pounds-- which makes me very happy!

I'll keep you posted as to my progress. I've been using I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray as a butter substitute--butter is a major weakness for me! And, of course, portion control is the biggie for me-- especially cutting back on meat and eating more salad and veggies!

Are you having any success with your healthy eating plan? Do you have any tips to share which might be a help?
