Mad Women

helllllo lovers! So before I get to the GIVEAWAY....about a week ago my friend Rachelle needed a makeup model for a program she was trying to get in & of course I said yes because who doesn't like getting their makeup done for free?!

Well she did a fabulous job & she even got accepted into the next round for the program...which i knew she would  :)

So if you live in the Southern California area & you are looking for a freelance makeup artist contact Rachelle...& check out her website to see past jobs...she's pretty amazing!http://www.rachellellanes.com/..or you can catch her working her magic at Sephora in South Coast Plaza

makeup done w/o fake eyelashes

Before & After - with fake eyelashes

Soooo of course since I was all done up I couldn't let it go to waste so i had a mini photo shoot with a dress my mom picked up at a thrift store...the dress is actually from Ann Taylor, but my mom got it for $3 bucks. Yes you read that right, $3 bucks.

The dress instantly reminded me of something the women in Mad Men would wear...i don't watch the show, but I love the fashion & I wouldn't mind a little Don Draper in my life either!

the dress is the perfect summer dress for the office, not too short, not too low. I added my black patent leather Maryjane's & my black glasses to complete the look.

So remember if you look hard enough you can find some pretty fabulous items at thrift stores!

so what do you think? totally mad men? ...& thank you again Rachelle for thinking of me!
