For the Park City photo shoot I’m styling {yesterday and today}, I needed a stylist’s kit. An odd assortment of pieces every stylist needs to make sure an outfit looks put together for a photo shoot, movie shoot, or red carpet. I needed one for real life anyway, but it was really fun to put one together for the photo shoot. I put it into a Caboodle makeup kit and now that I’ve assembled it, I’m going back to the…

Here’s a quick video tutorial on what make-up brushes you need to get started on your make-up adventures. These are cheap, just get started make-up brushes, not crazy professional expensive ones. We can get to those eventually. Enjoy my black eye, I know I will.
I’ve put together several looks for the photo shoot in Park City next week, and this is one of them. This is a: sitting by the fire in a ski lodge, drinking hot chocolate look. What is it with me and boots right now? These boots are adorable. Fantastic, fabulous, marvelous. I want them now. Also, I’d make the sweater red if given the choice.

I’d wear this outfit TODAY if it were in my closet. Especially those…

I was a good girl this year. I behaved myself, paid my bills on time, dutifully took my turn at carpool, and apart from a periodically messy house, was a good mama. Santa was good to me. I’m not bragging about the makeup-centric booty he brought, but to tell you how much it will benefit you. You see this makeup palette from Stila? You can’t even imagine how many makeup tutorial videos I’m envisioning right now. That deep blue is…

I’m about to give you what you really come to Petit Elefant for: beauty advice. Don’t you? Do you come for all my incoherent rambling and references to my Polish husband and his weird European habits? Or is it my weird addiction to Diet Dr Pepper? Well, anyway. I’m here today to talk about lip gloss, because it’s what makes my world go round. More specifically, I’m here to talk about high low lip gloss. You know what I mean,…
