Accidentally Allison : October 2011

I'm always trying to mix up my eyeshadows. However, it seems like I'm always drawn to colors that don't compliment my eyes. That's why I was so excited when I saw that Sephora was carrying a new palette from Smashbox specifically for your eye color.

That's right, for $42 blue-eyed, brown-eyed, and hazel-eyed beauties everywhere can get 6 colors made specifically to compliment their eye color. Shown below are the colors for all of us hazel ladies. The top row gives you a great look for day and the bottom row a more fun, glamorous look for night. What I love the most is that you can do so many things with these colors.

Check them out the next time you're at Sephora. Your lids will thank you!

So for those of you who tune in to my other blogs, you probably realize that I am a reality TV nut! Therefore, it should come as no surprise that I am in LOVE with Ms. Rachel Zoe. This lady is BANANAS for fashion!

The past year has offered a lot of change for the lady. At the age of 40 she gave birth to her first child (without even looking pregnant - Bitch!) and her first official fashion label. Now before we dig into Zoe's affordably chic line, let's talk about this child of hers! This little boy has a closet most women would die for. Umm...I don't remember having a Stella McCartney sweater and Gucci booties when I was 3 months old. Sigh.

Any who, back to the fashion! I must say I was a bit concerned when I heard Rachel was releasing her own fashion line. I mean, the girl can style, but would it translate into the every day girl? It's easy to make ladies like Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway look gorgeous but could you or I pull off the chic sophisticated style that Zoe is known for? It was obvious this season on the Rachel Zoe Project that I wasn't the only one a little concerned for Miss Rachel. From her husband Roger, to her sister Patti, to her team of model-esque fashion minions everyone seemed to wonder how The Rachel Zoe Collection would be perceived by the public. From handbags to tuxedo jackets to 70s inspired pants the collection (with most pieces under $500) has everything to offer to the girl who wants to look classy and on trend at the same time. Here are a few of my favorites...and of course be sure to check out Bloomy's for the entire line. Personally, I can't wait to see what's up for my favorite celebrity stylist!
