Random Hearts: As if it even has to be said....

The time has come kittens...the day we have been waiting for for a year...the thing that has caused Miss Twh and Miss Me's anti vampire men to roll their eyes and work out a little harder.

The time when we make arangements MONTHS in advanced with 8 different groups of girls to go to heaven for 2.5 hours and then again in our dreams.

TWILIGHT ECLIPSE IS HERE!!!!

It's here!!!!!!



Really!! Today!!! (Well last night for the die die die hards who were lucky enough to get a free pass or sneak away).

Excitement and shivers do not even begin to explain our excitement into dreamy, fluttery, Edwardville!!!!!!

The Army is coming!!!! Victoria is here!!!!

Will Bella say yes to Edward? Will she say yes to Jacob? (Geeze Bella! Make up your mind already!)

AAHHHAHHAHHHAHHA!!!!

Team Edward or Jacob?

Decisions, Decisions!

Go see it!!! Take all your girls...get lost in love (and wolves..yum)

Yesterday we literally squealed with excitement in the middle of a crowded store at the mere glance of a poster....

WATCH ME!

Random Hearts: We heart Edward Cullen

Hmmm, Now this may seem super childish, or perhaps in a strange way senior citizen-ish... And sounding like a crazy stalker fan is not usually our thing, but, we just heart us some Edward Cullen. 

While I am the first to admit that I was late for this party, I am here now and trust me, I am inviting all my friends! Namely Miss t-w-h who has just started the 3rd book in the saga. (She is giving me daily updates on where she is in the story, so I get to relive 

it!) 

I think it is pretty safe to say, that once I started the first book, I had the others read and in some parts, re-read within about 3 weeks. They really are THAT good, try and put them down. Try. 

Ok, so maybe you have not one clue what Miss Me here is talking about, maybe you have been watching the Backyardigins too much or perhaps going out and leading a worry free kid-less life, either way, it is time to wake up and smell the coffee! (or in Edward's case, the blood)

I am talking about this little book series, consisting of 4 books, 

Twilight, New Moon, Breaking Dawn and Eclipse. 

My beautiful sister-in-law told me they were amazing... And oh, how they are! 

Edward Cullen & Bella Swan are the main characters, and really I would rate their love story in the charts way up among Romeo & Juliet, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy... Or even Brenda and Dylan! :) 

But truly, it is Edward that is stealing hearts left and right, young and old... The man is smoothness walking, just the right amount of danger, strength & sexiness mixed with devotion, dedication and softness all wrapped up in one delicious package that you should be scared to death of, but you kind of want to grab him and not let go. 

That Bella is a lucky lady. 

If by chance you are too ashamed to go buy them, you can do what a friend of mine did... Lie and say they are for your 11 year old niece, but watch out, you may end up in a conversation about wether this story is suitable for an 11 year old girl, who is imaginary anyway!

Reading the book we were already suckers for Edward C. but leave it to the casting gods to find the perfect fella to play Edward in the silver screen version... Robert Pattinson. 

Well, really that is enough said. 

We hope you will read all the books and that when you do you heart them as much as we do.

Beauty-fuls: Mattify My Love...so hearting matte nail polish!

We have been waiting a SUPER long time to get all of our sources together for this exciting new nail trend! 

MATTE NAILS!!!

Not since reverse french manicures have we been this excited for nail polish... 

I got sooo crazy about it, I went to at least 10 stores (I was supposed to be packing...see the dedication here at T.W.H.!?!)  to track down some of these (A. waaay easier to buy online and B. they tend to be cheaper so you can try more!).

Instead of narrowing it down to a few favs, we decided to post ALL of our finds for you.  Since its such a new movement and the trend hasn't even begun or picked up there are not that many finds out there.  But trust, our gorgeous...trendsetting...confident... and beautiful readers,  this will be huge!  

And away we go!!!

First up is not really the creator of matte nail polish (that is the next one) but more of the "take it to the fashionable next level guy".  KO Knock Out Cosmetics brings us 4 TDF colors!

The Blood Red is sooo Vampire chic!  Puurrrfffect for our true love, Edward.  This red is sooo amazingly gorgeous on.  Its just off enough, it is a for sure hit!  Can't wait to get ours in the mail.

OMG..how rad is that Ballet Pink color?  And we all know how much we heart Ballerinas and their fashion!  Its like a pink ballet leotard gone naughty.  SO yummmy.

Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, hearts this line so much, she is the brand ambassador.  

Here is the style queen herself modeling the Blackout color.

How ridiculously chic is that!?!?! Almost like a chalkboard.

 

And the white reminds us sooo much of painting our nails in 4th grade with white out that we "borrowed" from our teachers.

Now for the guy who brought us the OG of matte finish polishes... Man Glaze.  

(Photo from polishaddict.com)

Now, don't be scared of the gross '90s -esque,  Ed Hardy-like label.  These polishes originally designed for the manly glam gods, is fantasmic even on the most feminine hands.

He sells 2 colors, grey and black ( we refuse to say the real color names because they are trying really hard and girls don't need to be so lame) and they are both striking and hard in a really chic way.   

The best thing besides the price and colors is they last a really long time!  Yay boy polish!

Here is one way we think we are on the right track with this soon to be trend...by late summer the big guns at OPI are launching 6 gorgeously perfect matte colors for you.  Yes please! You can find more info on these colors at All Lacquered Up.

We cant wait to get our manicured paws on the bright pink and navy colors.  We called every store looking for the OPI versions and nothing yet... We will keep you posted.

OK, as you know, the girlies at T.W.H. are suuuper uber recessionistas and we would never want you to worry about $$$ of these fancy pants brands... so here is a way to get the look with the colors you already have at home.  

A few companies offer Matte Top Coats.  We think they are for MAN-icures but just throw them on top of your own color and you have the trend and you saved moolah!  Yay!!!  

We found 3 that are avail at most major beauty supply stores as well as on line.  

There is V for Men Matte Finish top coat...how silly is that logo.  S0 '80s in the best way.

Then we found Adoree...  We have never heard of this line, but hey they offer a great and timely product it seems.

And from one of the most trusted polish brands around, we found Orly Matte Top.  
We personally would buy this one (if Larchmont Beauty had it in stock, or Ulta, or Target, or Sally) because we know we could trust it.  So here it is online for your cute hands.

Want more DIY?  

We noticed that the more PC (Politically Correct) polishes that do not contain formaldehyde (yuck) don't have the glossy finish and so if you don't need a top coat then...voila!

Here's another tip...use Butter London's Nail Foundation as the top coat and again...voila!
Mattified Talons!

Jeeze...we are really great at the DIYs (just kidding...we wish we had more for you!)

We should really polish up on our nail painting skills so we can do this at home.  (Get it..get it? Polish up...hee hee!)

Be bold,  lead the pack, have fun..you're worth it!

xoxo t.w.h.

Fashion Friday: We j'adore hardcore jewelry!

Well, well, well Miss Hardcore Jewelry... where have you been? 

Hiding in stores like Hot Topic (just kidding...wrong kind of hardcore..we aren't talking spikes on pleather...well we kinda are...huh, wow!) ?  Or being sooo out of reach for us mere mortals that we just have to hope and pray you will come to us...(instead of us slobbering in the windows of Needless Markup and Sux Fifth Ave)

We are sooo uber happy that hardcore jewelry is back...it's so back that when we put links to our fav pieces, you won't poop in your panties from the sticker shock. 

Not only has it trickled its way to us but all of the pieces are sooo cool,  sooo unique that you can probably wear them forever!

Hardcore jewelry is a walking contradiction, just like us t.w.h. gals... 

ummm, yeah...that's not us... almost ;)

It's a perfect mixture of girly pretty and stinky boy toughness,  it's mean yet at the same time friendly to the eye,  it looks equally chic with a white tee-shirt than it does with a l.b.d. (little black dress), and it's totally au courant but will out live trends.  

Each piece is like a fingerprint!  Some of our favorites are super hot and amazing yet we may not be able to pull them off..like they are not quite us.. but then there are others that are also just as amazing and hard and we could totally wear them and they look like they belong to us. (wow super long sentence... I may need to go back to English class)

that's erin wasson..she is the epitome of clash of the fashion in a perfect way

Let each piece find you and vice versa.  And with soooo many lines out there we did a wee bit if cherry picking for you recessionistas out there... hope you don't mind ;)  If you do mind we will be more than happy to show you some other lines that will be oh, so excited to take your moolah.

So enjoy the fruits o' the hardcore mavens.

Yummy yummy yuuummmm!  

Thank you Subversive for this amazing piece of art.  So delicate yet soo chunky. 

How rad would this look over a Alexander Wang tee or and amazing strapless dress? UUGGGHH we totally need this!  

Here's the soft version of Subversive's piece from Forever 21.  More dainty yet still wrong in the coolest kind of way. 

And how about these super rad chunky drop chain earrings from Urban Outfitters (we bow down to our temple of inexpensive pieces of art, fun and fashion).  

2 side braids, a slouchy tank, skinny jeans and you are RTG!  

Speaking of one of our fave stores, we found this necklace that is so sweet, so hard, so cute, so wrong that we stare at it every time we are there but never found the cajones to wear.  Why?

  

It's the perfect combo of hard and soft!  

And we all know how uber we heart pyramid studs!

Wanna feel a lil' Mr T vibe while still being cute and en vogue?  Try this hot ass necklace from F21.
Triple chain over a vintage tee and a blazer?  Hello cute girl... we hope you have a hot date... if not you will get one with that getup.

OOOHHHH Edward Cullen!!!!!!!!  This piece will forever remind us of you!  We heart you and this rad vampire charm.  YUMMM (hee hee oooppssieee...inappropriate!)

OK, the next 2 designers deserve their own post and are the reason for this one.  Thank you Bliss Lau and Leviticus Jewelry!  Thank you.

We lurve lurve lurve this chest necklace from Bliss Lau!  
So amazing!!  There are no words!  WOW!

And if that wasn't enough they give us the 1, 2 punch with this unbelievable piece of body jewelry.  These gorge sleeves are TDF!

Now if those 2 pieces are a wee bit too mucho but you still love the idea of body jewelry (ala Alexander Wang show) try these 2 harnesses. 

They would look amazing over a wife beater tank and under a tight leather jacket with denim cut offs and boots.  (oops our dream outfit...sorry to push on you!)

Here is Leviticus 5 strand halter necklace.  
So Cleopatra circa 2009!

Or the Blisslau more simple version.

Well that's all we got!  Hope you hardcore girly girls can find a piece to suit you and your mean, nice, cute, weird, fun, serious, boy, girl, clean, dirty self!

xoxo t.w.h.
