French Women Don't Need Self-Help Books

For me, buying perfume is a never-ending quest to find the "True Me." It's like all of a sudden, with the right perfume, I'm going to start speaking perfect fluent French, have impecciable fashion sense, finally start my jet-set lifestyle, and have all of my problems solved. It's similar to Rebecca Bloomwood in Confessions of a Shopaholic when she convinces herself numerous times that people will refer to her as "the woman in the green scarf" or "the woman in the brown leather boots." It's almost a sickness that we American women have, a constant search to clutch onto any single piece of the woman that we should be. We all have out images of her; she's most likely French, happily free of work, ("because she travels far too much, darling...and she could never be tied down like that") a jet-setter, has no money concerns whatsoever ("talking about money is so not French", she would say, as she sets down her Louis Vuitton luggage in her suite.) And yet she is not pretentious at all; just classy, stylish, and burden free. Naturally, her hair is perfect as is her skin, and she smells like the most sophiscated, feminine, well seasoned, woman with a hint of minx, that you could ever imagine. Who wouldn't want to be her? Not me, of course! And that's why I am putting myself on the pre-order list for the new YSL Parisienne; because this perfume is going to change my life...

Coming soon to The Beauty Loft...

I received a packcage a couple of months ago with these Shadow Shields inside. At the time, things were crazy busy at The Beauty Loft Gainesville and I didn't have the time to consider buying them. Numerous fashion shows, photo shoots, and cosmetic consultations later...I can't tell you how many times I wished that I had these on hand. There's nothing more annoying than eyeshadow sprinkling on a perfectly finished face. This leads to wiping off the sprinkles, streaking, undereye concealer being rubbed off, and having to apply it all over again. How simple are these? They only take a second to apply and they save precious minutes when you have a place that you need to be. Shadow Shields: http://www.shadowshields.com/. We should have them at both Beauty Loft locations by late fall! Place your pre-orders now.

Remember the Urban Decay dresser?

I'm back...

So sorry that I have been missing from the fabulous blogging world...but a lot has happened in these last two weeks in my life (so I have a good excuse!) To make a verrry long story short...I opened a second Beauty Loft! I have always wanted to open a second in the city of Tallahassee (which mirrors Gainesville's market which I have already broken into.) Tallahasse, much like Gainesville, is a college town, home of Florida State University, FAMU, and Tallahassee Community College. Not to mention that it is the state capital, filled with politicans and their offices. It's a very old-school city, filled with history and still a little bit of country (if you get lost and drive off of the wrong exit...don't ask...) But anyways, I officially opened a second Beauty Loft in the heart of downtown Tally this morning and couldn't be happier!I promise to try harder to maintin this blog because I must keep my 2 followers interested! I will include pictures hopefully this week...
