Unlike the Rest

Cute as a Button, My Thoughts Exactly, Primping Perfection 1 Comment »

Too many gals in the modeling world resemble each other…so much so they can be interchangeable as far as I’m concerned. And then there is Tao Okamoto, she is unlike the rest…how smooth was that? I totally just slipped the title of this post into the body of the post! Anyway, I decided to throw her in the spotlight  because she has a strikingly unique, yet sexy and very influential style. I have yet to see her sporting something I dislike…

Love it or Hate it?

I can’t decide what I think of the bold dress Isabel Lucas is sporting… I like all the colors… separately…together it is a bit…bold. Still…I like the length…On a classy chick, I think the look can be pulled off. The fit isn’t perfect…one size smaller maybe? I can’t decide…Love it or Hate it?

Mellow Yellow

Cute as a Button, My Thoughts Exactly, Primping Perfection 3 Comments »

I have a thing for the color yellow lately… I think I would officially like to announce that it is my favorite color…for now. Here are some of my favorite things in yellow. I would like to own all of these in due time…

Yellow reminds me of warm summer days…and it just happens to be an instant mood shifter…I imagine me wearing this yellow dress below year round…summer days I would wear it the way she wears, heck…I’ll even pose like her in it. During the colder days, I can wear the look with tights and knee hight boots! So sexy…

It’s a one piece, I NEVER wear a one piece, but the one below in particular is so cute. I can just see myself lounging by the pool with a good book in hand and no plans to get into the actual pool.  I would be sipping on a cold one (white wine)…and in time I would develop an appetite, this is when I would  slip into a knee length flowy white skirt that would mesh well with my low white open-toed heels.  I would call the boyfriend, and he and I would have a perfect lunch date on the  balcony…I can’t wait till summer!!!

Then later in the evening I would go to a cocktail party in Kate Hudson’s dress…and the rest of the yellow dresses will be worn during another mellow yellow day…

But for now, seeing how I am dealing with some very chilly weather, I would love to wear this tasty coat…

And for his eyes only…

Best Sunless Tanning Product…

Cute as a Button, My Thoughts Exactly, Primping Perfection, Tricks of the Trade 1 Comment »

There’s nothing like having skin that looks like it’s been kissed by the sun.  Tanned skin looks great and as an added bonus, makes the skin show less imperfections. Tanned skin gives the impression that your body is slimmer, and even tends to enhance facial features.  Now in no way am I suggesting that you go lay out in the sun for hours… DON’T do that.  I mean the exact opposite, if you don’t have perfectly tan skin, then I suggest using a sunless tanning product that does not turn your skin orange.  Because next to having imperfections stand out on pale skin, having orange as a skin tone is even worse, (see my post titled ‘Like the Oompa’).

With there being so many products on the shelves, it can be a bit overwhelming to find the product that works just right.  Therefore, our writers at PrettyObsessed researched which products would be safe and provide the desired results for our readers.  Many of the products were concerning as they contained ingredients which may be harmful to the skin and body.  Furthermore, others contained alcohol which can irritate the skin.

The product which exceeded our expectations above and beyond is:

For sunless tanning our winner is : Joliese Tan

(Offer has a Risk Free Trial ending Feb. 14, 2010)

- Produced Beautiful Tan Lasting Up to 8 days

– Safe to Use Contains FDA approved Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a sugar cane derivative which safely tans the skin

-   Alcohol Free, the skin smells delicious!

-     Skin Will Not Look Orange

-   Risk Free Trial For Limited Time, So You Can Try Before you Buy

Please be sure to send your pictures and leave comments about this product so we may share with our readers such as Tara did from Miami, Fl.



I’m a Sucker for Bloodsuckers!

Cute as a Button, My Thoughts Exactly 5 Comments »

It took me sometime to jump on the bandwagon and become a boundary challenged Twilight fan…but now that I have joined the rest, there is absolutely no turning back. I am Pretty Obsessed…with all things Twilight.  I am consciously, slowly reading through Eclipse, I could have without  a doubt, finished the book in just one sitting. However, every turn of the page brings me closer to the end…and I don’t want there to be an end. No, I want more, and more and more …Psycho I know…and I am fully aware that there is a fourth book…still I shall take my time. It’s as though I am taking in small doses of the lifestyle I have become quietly addicted to and thus I much rather devour each page, by taking my time tasting the words as the chain of events unfold between Edward and Bella…It is my own personal drug.

Opening the book for my next fix brings me indescribable feelings of giddiness, among other kinds of feelings too explicit to mention.  This got me thinking…what the hell is wrong with me and the rest of …well everyone! We are obsessed with the Vampire phenomenon, (the Twilight Saga in particular)…and we have let it consume us for sometime now, long before My Edward entered my life.

So why do I think I let my lust for mythical creatures torment my lamb-like soul?  …Werewolf’s included? When I start to think about it, it becomes pretty damn obvious.  The better question quickly becomes, why wouldn’t we women be truly, madly, deeply…psychotically in love with the idea of having a Vampire fall in love with us.  Everywhere we look we are forced to take in some level of disappointment.  There is poverty, hunger, greed, and not-so-sexy lust ridden men sharing our living space on a daily basis. The chance to escape into another reality is a tantalizing thought to say the least.

With that said, the rest is obvious…Vampires are meant to be incredibly easy on the eyes, physically flawless in every sense, this allows them to seduce us into their arms and quench their blood-thirst…And since we are programmed to respond to males who have the best chance of being able to father/rear our children, we automatically find the perfectly sculpted, tall, immensely strong, protective, sexually-able vampire man an A-plus candidate. Then there is the fact that they are usually depicted as powerful and wealthy. And why wouldn’t they be?  …they are immortal, and can come equipped with special powers, such as seeing the future! Having the uncanny ability to predict trends in  the stock market  allows them to accumulate wealth in their sleep…jk, they don’t sleep! If my boyfriend was immortal, and had the power to see the future…AND he didn’t sleep…well let’s just say, I’d hear a few less sighs and cuss words throughout the day…and more comments like the ones he says out loud during one of his many self-loving moments, “How does it feel to be with a legend?!” or “Your man is kind of a big deal!”

Hmmm…I won’t entertain that thought further…for now, I like to imagine that he is my own personal vampire, who merely chooses to lead a “normal” life to fit in with the rest of the folks in this small gloomy town. His cover happens to be the ever respectful White Coat…but before he steps through the door, the White Coat comes off…and my obsession turns on…making  me his chosen mortal who he will move mountains…and stop cars at a moments notice for.

After-all, how can we ignore that there is an element of danger that lurks when you have a vampire as a lover. This only adds to their attraction, because it should be wrong on some level that  ‘bad behavior’ turns me on. But the fact that it is forbidden and unpredictable makes it exciting…enter romantic tension…and I am the lamb and he is the lion.  And what is sexier than a man wanting you so badly, that he will fight the impossible fight for you?

A nonhuman man who brings everything to the table…and on top of it all, is willing to go to the end of the world for you and with you. So he may behave like a  jerk at times, and is a bit controlling, intimidating, even scary…but, as I have come to learn…behind every jerk is a twisted, impossibly vulnerable guy, whose passion for his lamb surpasses all rationale…ahem, my real life vampire boyfriend… and who can resist that? Not me…not ever.

Isla Fisher, aka my favorite funny girl and her too adorable for words daughter Olive Cohen . I just want to squeeze her cutesy little cheeks! And they’re matching! My imaginary daughter matches my outfits too, and my imaginary son matches my imaginary husband’s outfits!

Who wears short shorts?

Cute as a Button, Primping Perfection 2 Comments »

Hopefully the answer is YOU! Its that time of the season to pull out your cut-off shorts and show off your sexy legs. This spring and summer, prepare to see lots of tattered, ripped, and shamelessly short shorts everywhere. Personally I love this trend… as soon as the weather allows, I will be sporting mine! The beauty of this trend is that there are so many wonderful ways to wear the look. You can dress it up or down, wear them with  heels or flats… just please ladies have some class and cover that ass!

Vogue India has featured many beautiful Indian faces on their issue. Change can be good however, Victoria Beckham stars as the Indian Bride and pulls it off beautifully.

Victoria says, “I have long been an avid admirer of the Indian fashion and lifestyle culture.”

Anahita Shroff Adajania, fashion director for the magazine, reveals that Mrs. Beckham was very excited trying on the Indian outfits, “She absolutely loved everything about it — from the ‘maang tikka’ and ‘haath zeb’ (traditional Indian jewellery) to the gorgeous lehengas (traditional Indian skirt with embroidery),” she says.

And who can blame her? Indian clothing is to die for! From the colors, to the styles, and the rich materials…the options are endless.

Britney Spears has also been inspired by Indian Fashion and culture. At a recent show at her Circus tour she performs wearing an Indian costume resembling one worn by actress Deepika Padakone’s from the movie Om Shanti Om.
