I had to list both Halo 3 and ODST, because they both rock! I love playing Halo 3 on XBOX Live. This is something the family enjoys doing. All three of us have out own gamer tag so we can play this game. If you have never tried it out, it is definitely worth the try!

7. Saints Row 2

I liked Saints Row 1, so I just had to get Saints Row 2 and I must say, it's worth the play. This time, instead of being a boy, you can also be a girl. Not only this, but you can also customize your characters. You will be retaking the city of Stilwater.

6. Gears of War 2

The original Gears of War was interactive. The graphics are incredible. The sequel has the same formula and now you can play it on XBOX Live. It introduces new environments, enemies and weapons. It has a ten hour campaign that is very entertaining. In multiplayer, you have more significant upgrades, including ten new maps, four new modes and support for up to ten players.

8 Hottest Pieces of Jewelry This Spring…

Posted: 16 Apr 2010 09:38 AM PDT

I love updating my jewelry collection. I feel naked without a necklace on and I can't live without a wide selection of earrings! Wearing the same ones just gets so boring! Statement jewelry was all over the catwalk this season, mixed carefully with delicate pieces that really highlighted the element of spring… I've been trawling the stores for some hot pieces, and here are my top 8 pieces you shouldn't miss out on!

1. Oerelia Coin and Disc

Price: $25 at asos.com
With the military trend being super hot, this necklace is the perfect way to combine masculine and feminine traits in your jewelry, too. It is longline, which means it'll highlight your collarbone, and its coin detailing is right on trend for the tribal look too. It's the tiny diamante gems that hooked me though. They look amazing glimmering against the sunlight!

2. French Connection Cluster Earrings

Price: $10 at asos.com
Statement cluster earrings were huge at the Oscars, and this pair is perfect for stealing the look. Team them with beach babe shiny hair and natural make up to let the gorgeous colors do the talking! I love the antique styling. So chic!

3. Les Nereides Heart and Cherub Earrings

Price: $59 at asos.com
These earrings are so cute, I couldn't resist them! The hearts are gorgeously structured to give them a fresh and unique look and the dangling cupids are divine. I bet they’ll earn you more than a few compliments! Team with casual down-do's or put your hair in a messy bob or better still braid it and let your ears do the talking.

5 Tie-Dye Decisions: Hippie Yay? Hippie Nay?

Posted: 16 Apr 2010 08:23 AM PDT

1. Proenza Schouler Tie-Dye Tank

Nay for the original, of course. Because who spends $275 on a tank top you can DIY? But yay for the look for less, of course.

2. Tie-Dye Prom Dress

Hmm… This is tough. If the theme is summer-y or the event is held during the day, I guess this could work. What do you think, ladies?

3. Tie-Dye Summer Dresses for Under $50 Each

A big whopping yay from me, of course! The pink one is very cute. And if I do buy a maxi dress soon (can you believe I don’t have one?), I’ll probably go for a blue tie-dye dress like the one shown here.

4. Tie-Dye Yellow Scarf

In this shade of sunshiny yellow? I say YAY. Doesn’t it look nice with a blue-gray outfit?

5. Tie-Dye Trend

Are you generally opposed? Or do you like this print? I admit that I used to hate tie dyes but they have grown on me. They looked great on the runway.

10 Ways To Add Green To Your Wardrobe …

Posted: 16 Apr 2010 06:06 AM PDT

Spring is here and so is the color green. After long drab winters of white and grey I'm always excited to start wearing the color of nature. Green means grass and flowers and trees and warm sunshine, bike rides and picnics. At least it does to me! These are 10 ways you can go green by adding it to your wardrobe.

1. Striped Riverdale Dress

Price: $48.00 at fredflare.com
This adorable dress makes me want to go on a boat ride. Light weight knit makes it comfortable even when those spring nights get a little chilly. Don’t forget your pretty spring shoes.

2. Virginia T Strap Sandals

Price: $34.50 at store.delias.com
Simple t-strap thong sandals perfect for those summer dresses we all love to wear so much. Not sure you love the green? Well, they do come in a rainbow of other colors, too!

3. Bicycle Socks

Price: $12.00 at fredflare.com
If these don't inspire you to pull out that old bike you've got in the garage I don't know what will. They're just so cute! I'm thinking you should throw everyone off and wear them with a pair of oxfords.

Yves Saint Laurent Blush Variation – Expert Review …

Posted: 15 Apr 2010 04:30 PM PDT

Yves Saint Laurent's Blush Variation is a two-tone soft pressed powder that’s supposed to help us achieve a natural healthy glow. But let’s see how this product accomplishes this task.

Product Description:

This blusher combines two effects to enhance the cheeks with a veil of colour. Its innovative formula containing self-adapting pigments captures the intensity of the light and transforms it into colour.

My Experience:

I think this is a clever concept – combining the matte and iridescent texture on one palette. There are so many colours to choose from, so it's suitable for all skin tones. I was impressed at how I could apply more layers for a sultry night-time look without looking too caked. It feels really luxurious – so silky and it has a gorgeous scent. It is expensive but because it stays on my skin so well, it lasts longer than other products. Overall, I think this is a beautiful blush and the perfect illustration of how spending a little extra is sometimes so worthwhile!
