The holidays have come and gone. I got everything I could ever want in my life, and I am so blessed and happy! However, with the new year brings a new list of beauty goodies, so here’s what I recommend for positively beautiful gift ideas of 2012.

1. Stila.  I love their $25 holiday lip glaze set (It’s a $110 value, so you’re saving a ton!) There are 8 amazing glosses in the set.  Add a lip gloss with a card or a bottle of wine and you’re set!

Another great gift from Stila is the Daydream Palette (at $111 value but only $18 online!). This is perfect as it has every color on the rainbow, so any of your girlies will like it.

I also of course have my Lightning Rose Candles available for sale, which make perfect gifts! You can get them in everything from Lavender and Vanilla to Amber and Jasmine scents. You can purchase for a special price of one for $10 or three for $25! Please email lightningrosecandles@gmail.com to place an order.  There is very speedy delivery to all US states and I can ship International with easy payment through Paypal!

2.Chanel Nail Polish: Chanel Denim-inspired nail varnishes are all the rage! The colors are so hot, they sold out fast. Chanel only made them available in store and online for the month of September, as it was a “Fashion Night Out” exclusive. They named them “Les Jeans de Chanel” — just the name is amazing! If you didn’t get a chance to nab some back in September, great news! Check out  www.ebay.com and find them there.

3.  Sugary Smelling Perfume As many of you know through my beauty blogs here on Positively Celebrity, I love sugary smelling perfumes and mists. I went to Victoria’s secrets the other day and discovered this!

It’s a flirty-fresh fragrance sensation that you spritz on in the scent of Candy, baby! They say it’s an indulgent duo of spun sugar and warm vanilla and they are SO right. It smells much like yummy candy mixed with vanilla and is my absolute favorite. I didn’t have time to buy it so that’s why it’s on my list for 2012! It’s also a bargain at $12 or special the for only $25, at www.victoriassecret.com.

Happy New Year to all, 2012 is going to be very special!

Love and light,

Emily Lightning Rose

Awards Season 2012 is officially in full swing, and Hollywood’s biggest stars came dressed to impress for Sunday night’s Golden Globes!  As one of the first major red carpet events of the season, A-list fashionistas were setting trends worthy of a double take.  Here’s a rundown of the biggest trends that we’re definitely going to see this Awards Season!

Black & White

The classic color combination is reminiscent of Old Hollywood glamour.  Best Actress winners, Claire Danes and Kate Winslet, looked stunning in sophisticated black and white gowns with sexy and feminine twists.  Kate went for a refined Jenny Packham gown with flutter sleeves, a keyhole neckline, and Swarovski crystals at the waist.

Claire literally turned heads in her modern J. Mendel column gown with a daring open back covered in sparkling rhinestones.

Bold Blues

The hottest color on the red carpet was like a dazzling sapphire gem, with starlets making dramatic statements in striking shades of blue.  The voluptuous Sofia Vergara stole the show in a body hugging custom Vera Wang mermaid gown with cascading ruffles and draping.

“The Artist” actress, Berenice Bejo, looked amazing in a vibrant cobalt blue Gucci strapless gown and a matching vintage clutch.

Sleeves

From the runway to the red carpet, Hollywood’s latest fashion trend is sleeved dresses.  Best Actress winner, Michelle Williams, was an image of romantic elegance in a navy velvet embroidered gown by Jason Wu.

Best Actress winner, Laura Dern, sparkled in an emerald Andrew Gn gown with a plunging neckline and belted waist.

If you’re looking for a special occasion dress and want the Golden Globes look for less, check out Faviana.com.

Known for recreating the best celebrity red carpet looks, the design team at Faviana is currently working on replicas of Angelina Jolie’s custom Versace stunner, as well as Jessica Alba’s lavender embroidered Gucci gown.

Both will be available in the next 6-8 weeks with prices starting at $250!
