He put a ring on it

Put your paws up little monsters… Lady Gaga is engaged!!! I am so excited for Mother Monster. Looks like she got a herself not only an extremely handsome man but one who knows how to treat his lady. Taylor Kinney popped the question on Valentine’s Day giving Gaga a one of a kind rare ring that definitely caught my eye.

As a lover of all things beauty, and fashion related I couldn’t help looking more into her rare heart shaped diamond. Every time I think of heart shaped diamonds I think of the “Heart of the Ocean” as seen in the Titanic. Turns out heart shaped diamonds were used as symbols of friendship between royalty. In fact in the 1500s Queen Elizabeth was gifted a heart shaped diamond from Mary Queen of Scots. Even though heart shaped rings are often seen, there have been none quite like Gaga’s. The rave over Gaga’s ring has made headlines with not only the shape, but the size, cut and carats.

We know Gaga for her outrageous fashion, controversial music videos and her love for her little monsters, but recently Gaga has toned it all down. Having cut an album with the one and only Tony Bennett, Gaga’s new fashion sense is soft, elegant and lovely so this ring really accentuates her new look. So congrats Gaga and may I add…. your hubby to be is so handsome I’m a little jealous. No “Bad Romances” here 🙂

Painless, Innovative, Lipo in Costa Mesa

By Lisa Gal

Sculpted Beauty in Costa Mesa offers painless, bruise free, lipo with zero side effects, that is Cavi-Lipo. As seen on Fox TV Station KCOP My13, Sculpted Beauty has the most evolved system for the treatment of adipose areas & cellulitis. The treatment lasts only 40 minutes and you can see results in your first session. Want to know how it works? The Cavi-Lipo machine bombards the adipose (fat) with enough ultrasound waves to cause micro bubbles to form within the cell. Eventually those bubbles break their way out and eventually destroy the cell. Fat is then naturally metabolized by the body. Melt the fat away with ultrasound! Sculpted Beauty is providing gift certificates for the Hollywood Swag Bags being gifted at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills this weekend honoring the 2015 Oscar nominees, talent and guests.

TURTLENECK LAYERING IS A HOT NEW FASHION TREND!

slide_403248_5008798_free

There’s nothing surprising about designing turtlenecks for the fall — we’ve seen plenty of them being sent down the runway over the past few days at New York Fashion Week.

This simple act of layering immediately turns slinky printed dresses, strapless jumpsuits and other spring/summer items into a number of seasonless looks. So, no need to wait until the thermometer hits above 70 degrees to rock your favorite sundress. Just throw on a turtleneck first and you’re all set.

TALKING FASHION WITH KRISTINA KARO

maxresdefault-2

Coming to America can be a huge adjustment to some people, but not rising Internet sensation Kristina Karo! The Ukraine-born ‘Give Me Green Card‘ singer has taken over the Internet with her unique lyrics and fashion sense, and we here at It’s A Glam Thing got to sit down with her to find out what makes her so glamorous!

How would you describe your style?

Sexy, innovative and revolutionary. Never boring, always amazing. I believe it is I who wears the clothes and not clothess wear me and I only wear what I like and what suit me and is comfortable for me – it so happens to be that most of time I am a trend setter, never the follower.

What fashion trends do you see happening that you dislike?

I see a lot women wearing mens clothing these days, like suits, I do not appreciate it. I believe a woman should always be a woman – feminine and hot.

What makes your style different than others?

I believe my character is what make me most interesting no matter what I wear. Someone can copy my style but they cannot copy the way I carry myself.

Which other people do you admire in terms of their style and fashion choices?

I always admired Joan Rivers, she was an inspiration both as fashion icon and a woman. Always looked amazing and never apologized for being herself.

Who picked out your outfits for your Give Me Green Card music video?

I did. I am my own stylist and muse. It was important for me to stress further and express my huge love for everything America is, especially the American flag. I chose the flag bikini and a pink cowboy hat with gold cowboy boots because I love cowboys. They’re most American culture since before McDonalds.

Crave For No Knots

By Lisa Gal

Pulling, breakage, tears and pain, does this describe your brush? Most brushes cause split ends and hair breakage, but the Crave detangling brush slides through with ease. Regardless of whether your hair is wet or dry this brush keeps hair loss to a minimum and who doesn’t want to hold on to their hair!? Great to use on kids, especially if they wake up with their hair in a big tangle, no more tears. The Hollywood Swag bags honoring Oscar talent and nominees staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills this weekend will receive one in their bag.

Top it off with Sally Hansen

​I recently got to try two polishes from Sally Hansen that my girlfriends and I have never tried before.  The colors are ​”Over the Rain Blue”  and “Goldi-Flecks” Topcoats. First, I love the  names, especially “Over the Rain Blue”. It’s an Overcoat. That is the proper name for this sort of polish and I never knew that until reading the Sally Hansen bottle. It’s best worn over a color polish but  it may look good alone, I did not try it that way yet. It’s a sequin polish and it’s $7.99, very affordable.
unnamed-1“Goldi-Flecks” is one of Sally Hansen’s Big Glitter Top Coats. It is glittery and shiny and even more affordable at just $4.99. Thiscolor, like “Over the Rain Blue” Overcoat is best worn over a color polish.

I liked working with these polishes and  I now know the differences in Overcoats and Top Coats. These came out at holiday time but this is for use all year long. I like both of them for another reason, when my color polish peels or chips after awhile, I can put one of Sally Hansen’s Top Coats  over it and you wont  notice the difference.
