I love the Hen House Apron line, very high quality and the cocktail cut is such a cute idea. Be the cutest cook in the kitchen with this beautiful apron and if your really daring maybe just the apron and a pair of heels!

Hen House Linens Cocktail Apron in Divine Scarlett! Cocktail Apron ($25):

This “One size fits everybody” apron hits above the knee with a generous pocket and wide grosgrain ribbon wraps around and ties in front.

 

A beautiful palette while it might strike you as simple compared to some of its competitors. This palette is all about quality a great line of long wearing makeup that can go from a fresh faced day to night look with one collection.

Day and Night Neutrals Eye, Lip and Cheek Palette ($37.50)
Tips: For daytime, choose the pale pink or champagne eye shadow to brighten your eyes, sweep the pale pink blush on the apples of your cheeks for that fresh look and add a hint of color and shine with the nude or coral lip gloss.

For nighttime, use a pale eye shadow on the eyelid and to highlight the brow bone. Then, brush the dark eye shadow along the upper and lower lash lines toward the outer corner, using a sweeping motion and blend into the crease to create depth. Use the deep rose blush to contour the cheeks and finish with the mauve lip gloss for a sophisticated look.

Meet the Model with a 20 inch waist.

 

We’ve talked super-skinny models before, but Ioana Spangenberg definitely takes the conversation to a whole ‘nother level. Check out her story–and weigh in with your thoughts–after the jump.

At 20 inches, Ioana Spangenberg’s waist is just five inches bigger than a compact disc. She was profiled in The Sun UK recently, where they shared that the 30-year-old Romanian model eats three square meals a day (including indulgences like pizza and kebabs) and simply can’t gain weight around her midsection. “I just have a small stomach,” she told the paper. “It’s a bit like having a natural gastric band — if I eat too much, I feel sick.”

She had been self-conscious about her body her entire life, but when she met her now-husband, “Jan was the first person who saw me as beautiful and encouraged me to celebrate my body. He asked me to pose in some photos for him.” He put the photos up online, and the response was good enough that it eventually propelled her into professional modeling.

What do you think?
