Fun Fact: I am in LOVE with all of this jewelry! Pink and red are my favourite colors together and it looks like candy! WOW! Carole got us addicted to layering jewelry and now we are obsessed and can't stop! I got this vintage Saigon jacket 8 years ago when Lara Croft Tomb Raider Cradle of Life movie came out. I played the computer game as a kid, and was soo obsessed when Angelina wore a Saigon jacket in the movie. These vintage Saigon jackets are really hard to find and really expensive! So when I found this vintage one for $40.00, I just had to get it. Anyways, I haven't worn it in years, but since Isabel Marant's Spring 2011 show showed Saigon jackets, and Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony's designed one, they are coming back with vengeance! I love the whole idea of wearing them in a pin up/varsity kinda way! Pin It Now!

Since last June, I have been on the hunt for purple lipstick ever since the Versace Cruise 2011 Collection came out. I was looking for a purple shade that wasn't too dark, had some warm tones in it (so my lips didn't look blue) and didn't bleed like crazy. I finally found it at Sephora by Make Up Forever #15 and it's totally rockin' and Gaga approved! Pin It Now!
