Tiffany & C. Rubedo Collection

I've never owned a piece of Tiffany & Co. jewelry in my life, but that hasn't stopped me from lusting over almost everything on their website. The company has launched the new and fabulous Rubedo collection in honor of their 175th anniversary, which features a variety of beautiful gold, silver, and copper metals. Shop the collection here, and check out some gorgeous promotional photographs below.

Current Beauty Wish List

Just a few products I've been eyeing lately from frequent trips to Ulta and online browsing!

1. Nars eye shadow in Nepal -- Beautiful shimmery champagne color I'd love to have in my collection.

2. Urban Decay Naked Palette -- I prefer this one over the new Naked 2 palette because it has more warmer shades. I'm all about shimmery gold and bronze shadows. 

3. Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Baby Pink -- You can never have too many light pink lipsticks. Perfect for every day wear. 

4. Urban Decay Urbanglow Cream Highlight in Sin -- One of the more underrated UD products, but i played with this at Sephora and fell in love with it. 

5. YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick in 7 Lingerie Pink -- This one is definitely pricey, but the lipsticks in this line are super creamy and shiny. Another pretty pink!

6. Nars blush in Orgasm -- Probably one of the most talked-about blushes ever.  A beautiful shimmery peach. 

7. Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner in Eggplant -- I'm a big fan of Maybelline's gel liners and this deep purple would add a subtle pop of color. 

Guilt Free Chocolate Milkshake

via

I whip one of these puppies up for myself almost on a daily basis. They. Are. So. Good. Especially for an after-dinner snack, like right now as I type this post. The original recipe by Nikki Phillippi can be found here. This one's generally the same with a few minor adaptations.

The portion sizes are based on one of those niffty single-serve blenders. Adjust the portions based on the size of your blender.

1/2 of a banana
1/3 cup reduced-fat or nonfat milk
1 1/2 generous tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon peanut butter
Fill the rest of the blender with water (about 1/2 a cup should do it)

Blend the ingredients until smooth. If you're naughty like me you can add 1/2 a teaspoon of sugar or some other kind of sweetener to make it slightly less guilt free.

Enjoy!

Bright Pink Lips

How perfect is this hot pink Nars lip color in Carthage? I'd love this for Spring. #Wishlisted. 

Nail of The Day: China Glaze "For Audrey"

"For Audrey" is one of China Glaze's most popular colors. And one of my favorites of all time as well. It's the perfect robin's egg blue, and such a flattering color. 

5 Most Anticipated Films of 2012

Here are the five movies I'm the most excited for this year!
1. The Hunger Games

I read all three Hunger Games books back to back and once I completed the series all I wanted to do was reread all of them! It was unbelievable--I have never wanted to reread a book so soon. I held off, however, and decided I would pick up The Hunger Games novel again closer to when the movie will be released. The books are a fast read, and despite the dark and dismal plot, will surely make you feel warm and cozy inside. With each new piece of information that surfaces about this movie, it looks increasingly more promising.

2. The Great Gatsby

Most people are familiar with the timeless novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and I can't wait to see what the 2012 movie version has to offer. The director, Baz Luhrmann, is known for his work on the film Moulin Rouge, which also happens to be one of my all-time favorite movies.  Need I mention that Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are the leading men?

3. The Dark Knight Rises

I'm pretty sure that just about everyone on the face of this Earth is at least a little bit excited for the final Batman movie. I saw the trailer for this one recently, and it seems like each Batman movie looks darker than the last. Which is fine by me--I think that having a dark and mysterious element adds a new dimension. I was completely sold when I found out that Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anne Hathaway are both starring. I love them both!

4. Snow White and the Huntsman

I love the idea of classic children's tales being remade into dark movies (Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp, anyone?). That's exactly what Snow White and the Hunstman seems to be doing. I'm also looking forward to seeing another side of Kristen Stewart, who plays Snow White. We're definitely getting tired of that Twilight character of hers.

5. Mirror, Mirror

I don't know much about the story line for this adaptation of Snow White, but it'll be interesting to see how it differs from the other. It seems strange that two Snow White adaptations are being made during the same year, but both films look promising.

I love the look of stacking different colored/textured/styled bracelets. It adds an eye-catching and fun element to your outfit without being too matchy. Check out this tutorial on how to make your own wrap bracelet or this one on how to make your own friendship bracelet.
