A friends of mine,@avnishnanda, shared this on twitter pretty recently. Amazing huh? I tear up every time I watch it, every time. We have so much to be thankful for.

Drug Store Edition.
Save on these fab products.

Joe Fresh Matte Lipstick 
Fuchsia & Nude*
$6

NYC
Browser Brush-on Brown Kit
$4.
I have been using this stuff for about 5 years- cheap, works awesome, and lasts forever!!!

Maybelline
The Falsies Mascara
The only other mascara I really enjoy is YSL and $50 a tube. This stuff is $8 and I LOVE it. Good for volume and add a thickening type look to your lashes.

Oscar Blandi
Invisible Dry Shampoo.
(Sorry this is not a drug store edition, but fairly price at mid twenties for a big bottle.)
Sprays clear, stays clear. Not like the majority of dry shampoo!

Elie is more than welcome to make my wedding dress. 

Cohesive. 

Well constructed. 

Flattering. 

WOW worthy.

Elie Saab dresses will be a reoccurring theme on the red carpet.

KW by Kanye West Paris Fashion Week S/S 2012

What'd you all think?
Too much hype?
Personally, I think there is a lot of creativity and interesting use of fabrics and patterns. However, I have a problem connecting the dots. Most of the looks are trying too hard, and are poorly constructed. Bandage dresses, moccasins, ghetto fabulous looks mixed in with some beautiful and flattering pieces. Confused by the final result; makes me think he had no direction.
Love KW. Don't love KW S/S 2012.
Better luck next time.

I do like these pipe cleaner like shoes though!!
