Glitter Gal

Being a girly girl it is only natural to love all things pink, actually, I'm quite sure its somewhere in the definition of girly girl. Years ago, I learned I was more than just a girly girl, but a glitter gal. I don't actually remember the story of how I was dubbed a glitter gal, but it makes perfect sense. For those of you that were wondering what a glitter gal is, here's my definition.Glitter Gal - n. - Lover of all things luxe, sparkly, and exaggerated. The bigger the better for a glitter gal - especially when it comes to closet space. Things that may seem tacky or gaudy to others,are seen as beautiful and unique to a glitter gal. Naturally this includes all things sparkly, shimmery, and well, glittery.

Basically, a girly girl gone glam.

Still confused on what the difference really is? The ladies of Sex and the City know exactly what I'm talking about...

Charlotte York

Pink, Preppy, Put Together, Perfect.

Girly Girl.

(side note: I would give my first born for her pink bag)

Carrie Bradshaw:

Glitzy, daring, and most importantly SPARKLY.

The most iconic glitter gal.

Now being a glitter gal, or a girly girl is not a phase. Its a lifestyle. Typically one you've been living as long as you can remember. Even our fictitious fashionistas stay true to their roots.

Now, please note that these are exaggerated examples, simply used as a teaching tool. By now you have probably identified either yourself or one of your girlfriends as either glitter gal or girly girl, and chances are she usually doesn't walk around northern Ohio with a giant hibiscus on her shoulder, but something like that :)

Looking back on my life, its clear I have ALWAYS been a glitter gal, especially with pictures like this one:

Now that we have all that figured out, here's a few sparkly things that I l-o-v-e!

With the new Burlesque movie out, OPI have some fabulous and fun colors out. I literally went out to Ulta (God's gift to women, right after Matthew McConaughey) just to buy this color called "Bring on the Bling". And as you can see, it really lives up to its name.

Long, lush, and now luxe. Covergirl's Lash Blast Luxe is just as wonderful as traditional Lash Blast, but this one has a little bit of shimmer to it!

SANDING SUGAR! I Loooooove to bake! And sanding sugars make everything look like a million bucks! I made the most beautiful strawberry cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting dusted with sanding sugar for my roommate's birthday, but I did not take a picture! GRRR! But I could have seriously kicked some cupcake war butt with em'...but you'll just have to believe me.

Well this glitter gal is ready to see the insides of her sparkly eyelids, and get some sleep (its almost 5 am. yikes!)
