Leather is perfect for fall's biker chic trend. When accented with ruffles, leather jackets can be both romantic and edgy.

Lip Gloss Gossip Halloween Contest Entry

There's nothing cuter than a pretty bunny. But, what's even better than a cute bunny? A fashionable bunny! For Halloween I transformed myself into the most fashionable bunny in the Valley.  I accessorized my little black dress with bunny ears, a bunny tail, and pink kitten heels. For makeup, I used pink to the extreme: Pink and white eyes, pink blush with a little bit of bronzer, and pink lipstick and gloss.
