Party FOTD and OOTD

With this post we have face of the day's two weekends in a row. Kind of proud of myself, if you must know. ;) Anywho, this is a look I did for a fancypants Bar Mitzvah I attended this past weekend.

Jump for the details!

Fiery FOTD

This past Sunday, I received a phone call from my dutiful boyfriend who told me that I had twenty minutes before he would arrive to whisk me away on a brunch date. Naturally, I made a mad dash to my makeup station to put my face on. Ten minutes later, this is what I ended up with:

Tutorial of The Day

So you may not know this about me, but I do the Youtube. I have done reviews and tutorials, and want to take the time to share a bit of that video goodness with all of you.

Let's get started with a Make Up For Ever Tutorial, shall we?





So what do you think? Make sure you stop by my YouTube channel to subscribe, and tell me what you want to see more of!

Local Adventures- A New York City Kind of Day

While strolling through NYC one day,
in the very merry month of May,
I was taken by surprise,
by a pair of rogueish eyes (my boyfriend’s),
in a moment my poor heart was stole away.

More and more, I come to explore this great city in which I live. More and more I fall head-over-heels in love. This past Saturday, my boyfriend and I marched on in the pursuit of adventure. Join us, will you?

The day began with a trip to see Banana Shpeel, a Cirque de Soleil Production, at the Beacon Theartre

If you know me in real life, or follow me on twitter, you will know that I go ga-ga for frozen yogurt. Naturally the boyfriend and I made a stop at Red Mango, to partake in some frozen deliciousness.

Post fro-yo indulgence, we wandered a bit to explore the surrounding area. Not much later, we arrived at Buddakan for dinner.

Dinner, as you know was legendary. Too full to even think about making the trek back home, we instead wandered into the magical place that is the Chelsea Market. From lobster to gelato, the market has it all.

The Chelsea Market building was established in a space that used to belong to The New York Biscuit Company back at the turn of the 20th century. Now, the eclectically decorated space holds all kinds of delights for both the eyes and the tastebuds.

Photographer Dave Mead's work graces the walls of the Market. The Magnificent Specimens of quirky, mustached and bearded men's portraits thoroughly amaze and amuse onlookers.

My boyfriend and I just had to pose with that big, faux 'stache.

The scents coming from Amy's Bread held us in its thrall. We couldn't eat again, but that doesn't mean we didn't take some fresh baked doughy goodness home.

And finally, we refreshed ourselves with delicious fruit bars from People's Pops. The fresh fruit that goes into these frozen bars of goodness are grown by local farmers. I enjoyed a yogurt, pear, and maple syrup bar. Nom

I think we both learned that day that there is so much waiting to be explored in this great city of mine. When was the last time you went on a local adventure?

The Makeup Show NYC- My Very Own Transformation

I am never one to turn down the opportunity to undergo a makeover, so you could imagine my excitement when I was asked to model for a press demo on day 2 of The Makeup Show.

Five artists and five models worked together to recreate the looks of five icons. Yours truly was cast as a young Barbra Streisand.

I had the amazing opportunity to be primped and painted by the legendary Danessa Myricks of I Make You Beautiful, and boy did she do my face right. Contouring and smoking my eyes to perfection, the uber-talented Danessa did it all in fierce six inch heels.

Peep the work:

The inspiration:

Needless to say, I felt super glam as I fluttered my falsies. Too bad my voice isn't like buttah. ;)

More Birthday Party Goodness

So this past Saturday was the final leg of the krasey quarter century birthday celebration extravaganza. Naturally, picture taking ensued.

Happy Birthday Part Deux- Sunday Birthday Action

Sunday was the actual big day, and I chose to spend it with some other people that are very important to me- my family and boyfriend. To ring in the day properly, we started with a brunch at that legendary Country Pancake House I keep talking about.

Happy Birthday To Me!

As those of you that follow me on twitter already know, this past Sunday was my 25th birthday. In true krasey fashion, I had a two day celebration (which continues this weekend) that left me with enough beautiful memories to last well, a year.

Bebe Spring Collection Premiere Party- The Pics and an FOTD

For those of you that have been with me from the beginning, you may recall that I had the opportunity to do a bit of promotional modeling for bebe's Spring Collection Premiere Party this time last year. Fortuitously, I was asked back this year to do the very same thing last week. Mad photo taking and other hilarity ensued, much to the delight of the other models and myself. So here they are, the pics!

The outfit, all bebe of course

Weekend Getaway- Mohegan Sun

This past weekend, my boyfriend and I packed our bags and brought a couple of friends along for a mini getaway to Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. While none of us really won big, we did have ourselves a wonderful time.
