YouTube cover of "Black Roses" from Nashville

I was watching the television show Nashville on ABC a few weeks ago and heard a beautiful song called "Black Roses" sung by Clare Bowen AKA Scarlet O'Connor.  I loved it instantly. I wanted to try a different style of a YouTube cover this time around. I contacted my talented musician friend Alfred and asked him to accompany me on the song. He did an amazing job playing piano and editing the video with a help of another friend. This was our first time recording a cover like this and we hope to do more and improve with each video. Check us out!

 

Beach Wedding: Blue Eyeshadow and Black Dress

I went to a beach wedding in Redondo Beach this weekend and it was absolutely beautiful. I had never been to a wedding on the beach before. The weather was perfect. The sky was clear blue and the sun was shining down on us. I wore a black dress and decided to use blue eyeshadow to match the theme of the wedding. I like to use colors in my makeup that are inspired by my surroundings. The blue was clearly inspired by the beach, the ocean, and the blue sky.

Eyeshadow: I used Mac eyeshadow all over my eyes. I have a 6 eyeshadow palette that I chose 3 colors from. The inner section is: Gingersoft. The blue is Cinder with a bit of Tease 'n Teal blended into it. The smokey color is created by using the color Contrast (not a part of the palette).

Eyeliner: NYX Black ( on top). Urban Decay "Ink," Electric Eel by Mac, and Beauty Marked by Mac (under eye).

Mascara: L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly

Dress: Bebe

I think I'm going to obsess over lavender this season. Yup! I am. I decided to pair gold and lavender in this outfit. They're a great color combination for Spring.
