First Post!

Hello all!

I'm Brittany and welcome to my world! I am a pro Makeup Artist and aspiring plus size model.  I will be posting about my random life, cool makeup stuff, and of course FASHION.  I love to shop and try new styles and have a SERIOUS shoe problem.  

My first pictures are of my outfit from Saturday night and makeup.  Although simple I thought it was perfect for the occasion.  I attended my first "Gender Reveal" party hosted by Chanel (check out her blog too chanellybellyblog.blogspot.com) where guests were asked to join Team Blue or Team Pink to vote for the sex of the baby.  What was even more amazing is that neither Chanel or the father to be or the family knew the sex of the baby, only the cake baker (and ultrasound tech of course).  Once she sliced into the cake it revealed blue or pink and happily they are having a BOY!  

I joined team pink and wore MAC Viva Glam Nicki with a Magenta lip pencil and a black smoky eye done with carbon eyeshadow which you can find a tutorial of the eye look on my you tube account.  

I am wearing a green chiffon cut out top and cheetah print skinny belt both I purchased from a store called Dots.  Dots is a hit or miss for me, I've gotten a few cute pieces for the low low there but some of the clothing in my opinion is "cheap" and ill fitting.  When I say cheap I don't mean in price, I mean in quality.  I love to hunt for fashion bargains especially when it comes to shoes.  The jeans are from the amazing Forever21+ line and only cost 13.50! They fit great, I have worn and washed a few times and even dried in the dryer and the color is holding true as well as the fit.  I am really loving the Forever21+ line, I find a lot of great pieces for a great price. This particular line ranges in sizes 12-20 I believe and some of the tops are cut funny but you just have to try on everything!  I topped the look off with a lace blazer from Torrid which I've had for a while and love to wear dressed up or casual and anywhere in between.

The shoes are from Steve Madden, which I caught on sale for only 39.99 a super steal from the original 129.99 and they are nude leather.  Nude heels for me are a staple in my shoe wardrobe as much as a black pump or basic.  The shoes are comfy even with an insert to keep the foot from sliding forward-- one of my tricks to keeping my heels on all day! I am a pretty tall girl already (5'8") and with these 5 1/2 inch heels im over 6 feet! If you are tall and rock the heels join my team! In my opinion it takes a lot of confidence to be tall and wear high heels not to mention plus sized, so if you've got it flaunt it!!! I really hope you all enjoy my blog, and if you ever have any questions about my look or whatever the hell I am yammering about feel free to comment or drop me an e-mail, I am happy to respond!!! Happy Monday everyone!!!
