How is the blog loading?


While I'm lying in bed sick, I've been working on making the blog load faster - I hope. Now I ask all of you, is the blog loading any faster? Or, is it still slow.

H&M Boudoir Dreams

I am loving the purple trend right now! Eggplant and plum shadows on eyes (especially brown eyes) are really pretty. Try using deep purple shades to create a very seductive smokey eye.
I am hearing from a lot of brides that they are choosing purple for their wedding colors too.
I love when a color I didn't care all that much for totally becomes re-invented and trendy, especially a totally wearable color like purple (the orange trend was cool... but not so wearable in the real world.)

Anyway, check out this awesome pallette of purples from H&M (ironically named Boudoir Dreams).

Abbie Cornish as Sweet Pea - Sucker Punch

Abbie Cornish as Sweet Pea

Abbie Cornish as Sweet Pea Rocket's older sister.

The Movie: Sucker Punch is an upcoming American action-fantasy film written by Steve Shibuya and Zack Snyder, and directed by Snyder. Sucker Punch features an ensemble female cast that includes Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens and Jamie Chung. The film follows a young girl in the 1950s about to be lobotomized as she attempts to escape an asylum with her inmate friends.

Sucker Punch - Abbie Cornish as Sweet Pea Statue

Abbie Cornish as Sweet Pea Statue: Sweet Pea is protective by nature and is understandably wary of risking everything in a fight against the system. A strong, imposing warrior, she is prepared to sacrifice herself for the safety of others. In close combat, Sweet Pea favors a knightly long sword, as well as the occasional shotgun. The expertly crafted, large-scale Sucker Punch Sweet Pea Statue stands an amazing 18-inches tall and features film-accurate details that include a realistic scaled M-4 rifle, shotgun, sword, authentic costuming, and a remarkable character likeness. This Sweet Pea sculpture is a true showpiece for collectors with discerning tastes and an eye for excellence.
