A fairy tale cabin - literally.

Inside this delightfully charming cabin....

is this!  Oh, to live in a story book!

Is it bad that I want this?

I just got the Urban Outfitters catalog - and in the boys group - I came across this sweater.

Is that bad?  Do you own anything that might not be loved by your mother?

If I purchase this - this would be it!

What's your beauty ritual?

So, I've had the same make-up routine for a really long time (lets go with YEARS!!).  I would basically just go to Sephora and fill in on my tinted moisturizer, nars bronzer and blush and not even think of new products.

FINALLY - I got a whole new thing goin' and I am really liking what I got.  I am not a HUGE make-up junkie, so these few products are perfect for me!

Tell me - what products can you NOT live without!

Diorskin - Nude skin perfecting concealer. This stuff is great, I use it with a brush to apply.  It works, and is great for under eye concealing.

Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer - Oil free.  This stuff is way good, and you can layer it if you need more coverage.

Makeup For Ever - their lip glosses have a fantastic range of color!!!

Smashbox - Fusion Soft Lights.  This bronzer is sooo pretty.  ONLY downfall is that I have had the bronzer for only a week and already there is a chunk missing out of the center, like it looks like this may be an easy crumbler (which will totally bother me!)

What perfume do you wear?

I have been wearing the same perfume for 10 years:Marc Jacobs (the original).  So - I think its time to mix things up a bit.  I just recently smelled the Miss Dior Cherie and fell in love.  What fragrance do you wear?  Tell me about it!! 

Relaxation....

I hope you are having a very relaxing weekend doing exactly what you want to do!!

Love - Hallie

Have a Cheery Day!

There are very few things that I like more than flowers in a window sill.
Isn't this image divine?  I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Dying to see this movie!!

Beverly Hills What a Thrill

In honor of today being 9-02-10 day.... (and this being my home turf) here is a few dedications to what makes Beverly Hills what it is today!! (sorry if you reading this in the email in that case you are reading this on 9.03.10...)

Ahh... the cast from West Beverly High..... My favorite character was Kelly - and I always liked her with Dylan.

Eddie Murphy - Beverly Hills Cop 1, 2, 3, 4.....

The location of Pretty Woman.... The Regent Beverly Wilshire on Wilshire Blvd.

Classic lines of that movie:

"Color me happy, there's a sofa in here for two!"

"Oh honey.... look, I gotta runner in my panty hose..... I'm not wearing panty hose!" (First time in an elevator).

Beverly Hills What a Thrill!

I don't know if I should admit this but....

I am obsessed with a blog -- My Favorite and My Best. I don't know if you have ever read this blog - but Jenny is a crack up and she is so brutally honest and in your face, while still bringing about 90% of the material to interior design... its brilliant. She angers and offends people, but she is always saying what so many people are thinking any way. It's so funny to me how offended people get by her point of view over designs. Anyway - be disturbed or not - she has awesome taste and she seems like a really cool chick. Go check it out. Here.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Have a fantastic, sunshine filled weekend!!

xoxo,
Hal

LOL!

Gotta love this! I was in Palm Springs this past weekend and I felt SOOOO inspired by the fabulous gay men at the hotel! AND lets just say comedy!!

Life's little indulgences

I like drinking breakfast tea with a couple packets of splenda in a fancy tea cup before I go to bed. Below is the "tea-cup-of-the-moment." It makes me feel fancy drinking out of a cup like this, when any other person would probably just grab a random mug. Anyway - if you self indulge in anything, big or small - please share! Would love to hear!

Random thought

My birthday is in a couple of weeks and I would love love love to sit here with my girlfriends and laugh all day (just add a few more bottles)!

Stare at him!

Zac Efron is pretty cute.... gotta call it like I see it...

The Man Cave

This would be the female-girly version of the man cave! Kinda funny if you ask me.

A Cool Key

I saw these keys in an old issue of Real Simple (October 09) and thought they were awesome. What a great way to tell your keys apart. I have a long hot pink nail polish stripe going on my house key for easy identification, but these are way cooler than that. www.statkeycompany.com

If you love Friends... You will appreciate this!

Happy Holidays from the Holiday Armadillo!

Saw this Quote and had to Post it!

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art—write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can; and I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."
Neil Gaiman
