Right across from my school is this American Apparel store, and they have these super cute Halloween costume ideas ranging from Batman to superman etc. but what realllly caught my eye was this dress that you could dress up in many different ways (similar to victoria secret's 100 ways thingie bra (forgot the name but i have it, you can change the straps around to accomodate your dress/clothing))

soooo the Roman Greek Goddess Halloween Costume idea:

the Le Sac dress (in white) with copper (they have gold coming out soon supposedly) strings.

the picture below is the Le Sac dress in purple, but you can buy the white one and instead of black get the copper strings, and voila, costume! plussss you can create so many different unique looks with it.

Best Credit Cards Offers

So....I'm looking for a new good credit card, any ideas or suggestions? this is what I found online at
source

Best Cash Back credit card
There are quite a few very good cash back credit cards in the market today. Below are four cards that we recommend that allows you to earn more than the standard 1% rebates with most cards.

The Blue Cash® from American Express is the only consumer cash rebate card that pays 5% rebates for purchases at supermarkets, gas stations and drugstores and also the only card to pay 1.5% rebates on "other purchases". You earn these rebate levels once your annual spending exceeds $6,500. You can earn unlimited rebates with this card. This card is a must for those looking for a cash back card. Kiplinger has chosen this card as their best cash back credit card.

If you do not spend as much on your card, then the Chase Freedom(SM) Credit Card will probably be a better card as there is no tiers to their rebate formula. Chase allows you to earn 3% cash rebates on your top 3 "everyday spending category". There are altogether 15 categories which includes things like gasoline spending, groceries, restaurants etc.

Gasoline Station Credit Card
In my opinion, the best gas rewards credit card today is the SimplyCash® Business Card from American Express is the best card for earning rebates at gas stations. You can earn 3% rebates for gasoline purchases at any gas station. Furthermore, you can earn unlimited rebates. Though this is a business credit card, you can still apply if you have no business. You'll simply be treated as a sole proprietor.

The Discover Open Road(SM) Card is the only consumer gas rebate credit card that allows you to earn 5% cash rebates at ANY gasoline station. What is more impressive is that if you decide to exchange your cash rebates for gift certificates of partner merchants (60 partners at present), you can up to double the value of your cash rebates. For example a $20.00 cash rebate can get you a $40.00 gift certificate!. If you choose to redeem your cash rebates this way, it means you have effectively earned an unheard of 10% rebate.

Best Balance Transfer Credit Card and
Best Credit Card Rate
The best balance transfer credit card in the market today is the Advanta Platinum BusinessCard with Unlimited Rewards. The reason is because it has the longest introductory period of all the credit cards that offer a 0% APR balance transfer deal - 15 months. Furthermore, there is no annual fee.

The Advanta card also has the lowest APR in the market today at 7.49%.

Note : Though it is a small business credit card, you do not need to own a business to get the card. Fill in your social security instead of your business tax id, and your name instead of a company name and you will be treated as a sole proprietor.

If you more comfortable with a consumer card, then you might to consider the Discover® More(SM) Card. There is one of the rare consumer credit cards that still offers a 0% APR balance transfer deal for 12 months (without sneakily removing caps from balance transfer fees). It is a cash back credit card that lets you convert cash rewards to more than 100 gift card partners for more than the cash rebates you have earned. Furthermore, ShopDiscover.com allows you to earn up to 20% cash back bonus.

0% APR Credit Card for Purchase

If you are looking for a credit card with a 0% APR on purchases because you want to get 0% financing on a large one-time purchase, then the Blue from American Express® is probably the best card to get. This is because if you have good credit, you can get a 0% APR on purchases for up to 15 months. Plus it has no annual fee and a great reward program as well.

Travel Rewards
Summary - The Capital One® No Hassle Miles^SM Ultra—For Professionals is a perfect card for those with excellent credit that want to earn airline miles rewards. Cardholders earn two miles for each dollar spent on all purchases. Miles never expire, and there is no limit to the amount of miles that you can earn. Plus, miles are redeemable on any airline, anytime, with no blackout dates or seat restrictions. This card has an annual fee of $39. Cardholders are also eligible to receive exclusive savings: up to 40% on featured deals and 10% on everything else on Capital One® Saving ZoneSM on Yahoo!Shopping.

The Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card is one of the most popular credit cards among the really frequent fliers and travelers. This is because it has probably the best hotel reward program, but also allows you to transfer points you earn (at a one for one ratio) into miles of over 30 airline partners. Furthermore, you get a 5,000 airmiles bonus if you transfer 20,000 points into miles. Effectively, you only need 20,000 points or miles to get a free domestic flight (since most require 25,000 miles!). Many American Express Centurion and Platinum cardholders also carry this card.

The Blue Sky® from American Express is different from most typical rewards credit cards. This card allows you to use any travel agent (even internet agents) to book your travel arrangements and get the best deal. You then use your points to get a credit on your next statement at a rate of 7,500 points for $100 (ie more than 1%). No blackout dates, no Saturday night stays, no advance booking, stopovers allowed. For the ultimate flexibility, consider this card.

The other Citicard we recommend is the Citi PremierPass^SM Card. This is a very unique travel reward credit card in the market. You earn points ($1.00 = 1 point) when you use your credit card, but you also earn points on the miles you fly (at a rate of 1 miles for every 3 miles). Hence, if you are a frequent flyer, you can chalk up points very quickly. These points you earn are on top of the frequent flyer points you will get. If you pay for your companion's airline ticket, you will also earn points on the miles they fly. There is also no annual fee for the Citi Premierpass Card. The elite version allows you to earn double points for purchases at standalone supermarkets, gas stations and drugstores and one point for every mile flown. But you have to pay an annual fee of $75.00.

For College Students
The Citi® mtvU^TM Platinum Select® Visa® Card for College Students is probably the most innovative student credit card. The reward program is based on Citibank's ThankYou Network reward program. You can earn five points for every dollar you spend at (1) bookstores, (2) record stores, (3) restaurants (including fast food), (4) motion picture theaters and (5) video entertainment rental stores and earn one point for every dollar spent on other purchases. But in addition to that, you earn 25 points each time you pay your minimum bills on-time and if you do not exceed your credit limit. You can also earn point twice a year for getting good GPA scores (4,000 points for a perfect score). This is a good incentive to develop good money habits and to motivate you to do well in studies.

Update : The Citi ThankYou Redemptions Network reward program now allows you to exchange reward points that be used to reduce your student loans.

Interesting read how to draw a rose with colored pencils

how pretty! sorry not makeup related, but this guy is pretty good at drawing!\

Rose Drawing Tutorial - How to Draw with Colored Pencils

I made this tutorial to show step by step how to draw a realistic pink rose. For this lesson I will be working on Canson Mi Tientes black paper and using Prismacolor Colored Pencils. Every color that I mention will be of the Prismacolor brand. :)

Step 1 The first step is a basic outline. Since it is extremely hard to erase colored pencil, I did my outline on a seperate piece of paper and transfered it.


Step 2 I started on the left side. I always work this way since I am right handed, so I never have to rest my hand on a finished part of the drawing. I applied "deco pink" and "light peach" to this petal and used "process red" for the edges. I used white for the highlights on the edges of the petal.


Step 3 I move on to other petals on the rose. My light source is coming from the left and above so the left side of this rose will be lighter than the right. The edges of the petals will be white. Again I used a combination of "deco pink", "light peach", and "process red".


Step 4 Using the same colors, I continue left to right. For the most part, every new petal will be white on the left side and a darker tone on the right.


Step 5 Paying attention to my reference picture I move on working on new petals. It's important in realistic drawing to work one small area at a time. If you focus on the drawing as a whole it will be overwhelming. Think of realistic drawing as a puzzle, work one area at a time and in the end it will all come together.


Step 6 I am working into the right side of the rose now and this area has to be darker than the left side. I used "rosy beige", "process red", "clay rose", and "crimson lake" for these darker areas. My eyes were getting a little strained from working with the pinks so I started working on the stem of the rose. I used 3 different shades of green for this, "true green" for lights, "grass green" for midtones, and "dark green" for darks. The stem follows the same light source rules as the petals. The left side will be lighter than the right side.


Step 7 I worked more on the petals.


Step 8 The drawing is almost complete at this point. I work some more on the petals and the leaves at the bottom, using the same greens I used for the stem.


Step 9 The drawing is completed. At this point you can go back and do some detail work and clean up areas that need it. I added some veins to some of the petals and some other details.
