Can I have one already??? So we can share dresses.

*Fashionista Faceoff*

It's Wednesday, so that means yet another round of Fashionista Faceoff! What do you think of this new feature? From what I gather, my readers think it is as fun as I do.  :-)

This week I'm going up against Jayde and our theme is party outfits. Check out our looks and then vote for your favorite.

Jayde dresses up a casual top and sandals with a beautiful lace skirt and gold jewelry. She makes her party outfit fun by adding a pop of color with her handbag.

Instead of a typical party staple, the little black dress, I opt for a LPD (little pink dress). I keep it looking chic with a black blazer and tights, but then add in some sparkle with silver accessories.


Which party look is your favorite? Please vote for either Diane (Snapshot Fashion) or Jayde below.

I really can't wait to see the rest of this campaign, seriously. Tousled hair, hemp bracelets and beachy landscapes. Can you imagine?
It's screaming California and ohhhh it's making me squirm in anticipation already.
And who is going to be in a mad rush to find a pair of baby pink pants and shorts this summer- ME!

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.

You have no idea how many horse lovers there are in California, it's just blowing me away. I'm really more of a dog person but hanging around these equine creatures definitely have started to melt my heart.

Beauty Buzz

I have been a longtime fan of Benefit Cosmetics and for Christmas I received some more of their items to add to my collection. If you have yet to try their makeup, please trust Snapshot Fashion when I say that their items really are must haves!

Sugarbomb- This is probably my most favorite item that not only Benefit has...but my favorite makeup out of all that I own! Just take the brush and swish together the shades of pink, peach, rose, and plum powder to give yourself some remarkable color. The first few times I wore this my husband was like, you look like you have a nice tan...like you have some color to your face. Even though I have an olive skin tone, I am rather pale. This product gives me just the right amount of color that looks natural and pretty. I wear it EVERY day!


Big Beautiful Eyes Palette- This palette is truly incredible. It comes with very simple instructions to make a very professional looking eye. This set comes complete with concealer, base shadow, contouring shadow, liner shadow, and two brushes. I have hazel eyes, and this set makes them look bright green and beautiful! What I love about this set is just how simple it is to make this look...no matter what your skill level is.


Do you have a favorite item from Benefit? Have you tried either of the items that I have reviewed? Please share!

Argh, I can't believe it's been a week since the last time I posted. I have had no internet ever since my little jaunt to Las Vegas and San Francisco last week. Miss you already SF! ♥.
I am back in LA right now and the weather is just gorgeous- makes me want to hit the beach in shorts! I'm really into the colour white lately. I'd love to wear a head-to-toe Salvatore suit or even a white tuxedo jacket to polish a casual outfit.

*Fashionista Faceoff*

Another week, another fashionista faceoff! This week I'm going head to head with Vickie from Adventures in Fashion. Today we're showing you our favorite date night looks.


Vickie keeps her look rather fun with tulle, adorable accessories, and a pop of color. She also adds a cute cropped demin jacket to top off the look.


I tried to make my outfit look rather romantic by pairing a dress with pink details, micro mini fishnets, and a faux fur jacket together.
