Pieces I Heart Now.

2007-11-12T00:03:00.000-05:00

Ok. I started working at Bloomingdales for Dior. Its fun...but also death...not the job itself but b/c i am working in Bloomies and I get a discount and i am a shop-a-holic. so yea. I found this darling Elephant bracelet that I had to have and got it after my first pay check there. The red ballet flats are from Banana Republic and i am in love with them! i've been eyeing them for weeks! Today I found this sweater which is almost like a poncho b/c it hangs like one and is absolutely comfy. I think I'll be picking it up tomorrow!

A New Career.

2007-07-20T13:20:00.000-04:00

So I've been doing makeup for two years now. Freelance that is on small films, student films, and features. I've decided to make this broader now. After being out of work for a few months...(which sux financially) I've decided to go back to school. After acheiving a BFA in Media Communications, I have decided to go to the school called MUD (Make-UP Designory) in NYC. I'll be starting most likely, mid-fall and be completing in winter 2008. I am going to take everything to hone in on my craft. Plus Character and Special Effects makeup so I can work on Films. So still in my major but something specialized. I joined MAC Pro, which gives discounts to makeup artists. Which is excellent. And I have started to work on my website. ashleyvictoriamakupartist.com I am also going to need to start working on business cards. I've put much thought into this. Because I can meet a lot of people this way. So I can also do my modeling or auditions for hosting on the side b/c it is the same industry. But this is something I know I am good at and I will have confidence doing so. So this is to a new me! I'm excited!

It's a clear gel that when you put it on your cheeks makes it look like you have blush on. A def must have to keep in your purse always. I know I will be keeping it in mine at the end of the day my blush always rubs off and then I look like a pale ghost. I highly recommend this product! It will def be awesome in the summer!!!

Post Secret.

2007-01-11T10:30:00.000-05:00

By: Frank Warren

This is a very cool book I recently discovered while walking around Barnes & Noble. Although, I had heard about it before I never took the chance to actually look at it. Basically people send post cards to the address above and the guy puts them all together into a book...I believe this one was published in 2005 but there is a newer one that came out in 2006. People send in artful postcards with a Secret that they have never told anyone. Pretty cool concept. I recommend it if you love artwork or urban things in general. Good coffee table book. Enjoy.

This is an amazing book that so far I have read a few pages in. It's great for anyone who loves Audrey Hepurn and wants to learn more about here. It has things like ticket stubs in it ...in these little envelopes along with a page of her Breakfast at Tiffanys Script all marked up. Its awesome.
