				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re not already completely Etsy-obsessed, then brace yourself, because you will be after checking out our list of shops you ought to know. Nowadays, nothing is more chic than being unique, and these shops definitely know a thing or two about how to make you stand out from the crowd. So forget the monotony of mass-produced fast-fashion and grab your wallet because you won’t be able to resist the urge to buy out each of their entire assortments!</p>

<p><a href="http://ksufashionblitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Yanger218.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-1704" title="Yanger218" src="http://ksufashionblitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Yanger218.jpg" alt="" width="239" height="238" /></a><strong>SHOES &#8212;&#8211;&gt;</strong></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Yanger218" target="_blank">Yanger218</a></em></p>
<p>A decadently bedazzled shop of crystal and lace covered heels. You won’t be able to help but let your inner Paris Hilton out.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-476" title="Screen shot 2011-10-04 at 4.33.57 PM" src="http://ksufashionblitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Screen-shot-2011-10-04-at-4.33.57-PM.png" alt="" width="620" height="108" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong><em>Makeup: </em></strong></h2>
<p><em>1.</em> Apply foundation, concealer, blush and bronzer as you usually do, blending where necessary and adding a touch of highlighter to the cheekbones, brow bone and bridge of your nose.</p>
<p><em>2.</em> Next, create a winged-eye with black liquid eyeliner. Lining only the top, apply along each lash line as usual, then take the index finger from your opposite hand and pull back and up slightly on the skin. Continue the line you started before, drawing about one-fourth of an inch toward the outer edge of your eyebrow. Repeat on the other eye.</p>
<p><em>3.</em> Lightly apply brown shadow to the crease of your eye to add contour. Then dab a small amount of sheer white loose powder to the eyes’ inner corners.</p>
<p><em>4.</em> Cover the entire area of your lips with a nude lip liner to prevent lipstick from bleeding and help it last all night long. Apply red lipstick in an appropriate shade for your complexion. If unsure, a safe bet is to choose a classic, rich deep red, or more simply, head over to your favorite beauty counter for an expert’s recommendation.</p>
<p><em>5.</em> Finish it all off by applying volumizing mascara and filling in brows for a look that’s both polished and classic.</p>
<p><span id="more-473"></span></p>
<h2><strong><em>Hair:</em></strong></h2>
<p><em><a href="http://ksufashionblitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Screen-shot-2011-10-04-at-4.51.37-PM.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-483" title="Screen shot 2011-10-04 at 4.51.37 PM" src="http://ksufashionblitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Screen-shot-2011-10-04-at-4.51.37-PM.png" alt="" width="617" height="109" /></a></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>1.</em> Begin with a smooth, blown out base before sectioning the hair into three parts. Separate the first section by parting the hair across the top and drawing it forward from ear to ear. Twist it and then clip it out of the way. Draw a part down the middle to separate the last two.</p>
<p><em>2.</em> Using a three-fourths inch barrel curling iron, curl one-inch pieces inwards toward your face, continuing until you’ve completed the entire head.</p>
<p><em>3.</em> Set with hairspray and allow it to cool completely.</p>
<p><em>4.</em> Once hair has set, finger comb through your strands for large, loose retro waves, making sure that your part sits deeply on the side and is aligned with the arch of your eyebrow.</p>
<p><em>5.</em> Spray with hairspray one last time to lock in the look.</p>
