*SEXY* Smokey Eye Tutorial


Gosh I love a great smokey eye!!!  It has definitely taken me some time to figure out exactly what type of smokey eye I like, and then learning how to do it was another process... but THIS is the final look I landed on and have been rocking a TON lately.  Perfect for a night out but yet soft enough to be worn during the day as well.  If you want to see exactly how I got this look, check out the video below. :)

RED CARPET RECAP: Golden Globes


Well award season has officially kicked off with one of it's biggest nights - The Golden Globes!  Tonight's red carpet looks were STUNNING, to say the least.  We saw TONS of color - from classic reds, to jewel tone greens, to pastels, and some white hot looks as well! 

Honestly I found it hard to pick my favs of the night because there really were so many beautiful gowns to chose from.  I'll start with my top 3 and then move on to some honorable mentions, how's that? :) 

#1.  Jennifer Lopez


I mean, if you know me at all then this is no surprise to you.  I typically love everything she does on the red carpet (with the exception of a few looks), and not only do I typically love Jlo - but I'm OBSESSED with marigold!!!  Seriously one of my all time favorite colors to see on a red carpet.  It's just such an eye catching color, and when complimented by bronzed skin - PERFECTION.   There is nothing I DON'T love about this.  The cape-let, the skirt, the jewels, the glossy red lip, LOVE LOVE LOVE!

#2. Olivia Wilde in Michael Kors Collection


Red is a pretty common color to see at award shows, and I am generally not drawn towards red in - BUTTT being that this is more of a cranberry tone... I must admit I'm kinda in love with it.  I mean, you have to have a body like Olivia to pull off a fit like this.   I LOVE the sleek look of this gown so much on her!  I also appreciate the fact that she takes risks with her makeup.



Most of the makeup we saw tonight was super natural, with a pop of color on the lip.  Olivia did the opposite - bold color on the eyes and a natural lip. 


#3.  Jenna Dewan-Tatum 


Jenna has been a mainstay on my #BESTDRESSED list lately.  I just love how she always looks youthful, fun, and glamorous.... not to mention she and Channing Tatum are like the couple that every other couple wants to hang with!!! 


Anyway, back to her look - navy is another one of my all time favorite colors.  I love it because in a sea of (often) black gowns, navy pops.  I especially like the contrast of it with her fair skin. She just looks so effortless to me.  I need to find out her skincare routine because her face is ALWAYS glowing. 

Okay, honorable mentions... and I'm just gonna zip through these...

Jennifer Lawrence - LOVE her, and LOVE the cut outs in this dress... I kinda wish it was a different color because we have seen her in a lot of red. 


Amy Adam - It's hard to tell, but this color definitely was more of a tangerine than a red.  What a perfect compliment to her strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes.  This neckline is SO FLATTERING on her.  It's a fairly safe choice for a gown but this look as whole is GORGE.  


And lastly... Lily James: pretty pretty pretty.  I don't know what I like most about this look - between the bronzey makeup and the softness of the gown... just really pretty. 

So who were your #BESTDRESSED picks?!?!   Tweet me @ShaeWilbur and let me know!

Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez SPLIT


I was so proud to be a part of HLN's The Daily Share team this week.  We were among the first to break the news of Halle Berry's divorce LIVE on air. While I'm in NO WAY happy to hear that her marriage has ended, it is always a rush to be a part of breaking news. Watch the clip for my thoughts on Halle and her future - they just may surprise you! :) 


From Mexico, With Love



Let's just say my first official trip to Mexico was one that I will never forget... for MANY reasons.  I have so many fun snapshots & videos from trip - I thought I'd put them all together in one blog (as opposed to flooding your instagram feed).  

SO... the purpose for the trip in the first place was to celebrate my Dad's wedding, which would take place on Saturday.  A group of about 30 of us flew in a few days earlier to sight-see and take in a bit of the culture... and the trip begins:

Airport selfie - about to hop on the red-eye
I arrive and get taken to meet up w/ the group at Lake Chapala for some sightseeing
This town is completely enchanting
COLOR EVERYWHERE!!!!
& cute little shops
Did I mention FRESH donuts sold along the streets!?!?!  DELISH!
We head from there to a boat ride on Lake Chapala... I steered obvi!
Then back to our GORGEOUS hacienda style hotel in Guadalajara
Time to rest up for tomorrow's pre-wedding festivities!
Day 2:  Now, I've seen my share of incredible estates... but this one was unmatched.  My dad and his fiance [now wife] arranged for an incredible private brunch complete with MARIACHI BAND, dancing horses, and some DELICIOUS authentic Mexican food. 

#OOTD featuring some super colorful shorts I've been wanting to wear :)

Tried to pack our whole fam into a buggy

THIS FOOD THO!!!!! OMG heaven on earth!
So much color everywhere - couldn't resist snuggling up in this blanket for a pic.
Day 3:  The wedding.  Some of these aren't the best quality pics because they were taken on my iPhone 5 (yes I'm ghetto I know), but they represent some unforgettable memories so I wanted to share them regardless. :)

A Prayer for Israel


 Okay so at this point you're probably realizing that my blog is an interesting mix of fashion, beauty, pop culture, music and even a little politics here and there.... which actually sums up "me" as a person pretty well.

Today I'm focusing on the here and there, on the nation of Israel - which also happens to be a political hot topic. :)

I won't go into the history of what's transpiring - as it dates back hundreds of years. What I will say is that terrorism has killed more Israelis in the past month than in the last two years.   Over 100 more have been injured due to this wave of violence.  Terrorists are LITERALLY running through the streets with butcher knives, stabbing whomever they can, running their cars into crowds of people, and gunning down families.  Meanwhile - much of the world remains silent... silent until Israel retaliates and [the majority of] the media can paint her as the aggressor.

I'm going to stop myself here because I could literally write about this subject for hours and hours, and that's not the point.

Over the past few days, my heart has been SO heavy for all those living in the midst of this unrest.  The purpose of this post is to honor all of the families who've been directly impacted by the recent terrorism, and to offer up a prayer for the nation of Israel.

The video below is a song I wrote along with my good friend Misha Goetz.  [Check out her music by clicking here!]  It begins with the Shema - one of the most historic and sacred Jewish prayers. 

Our prayer is that this song brings at least a tiny bit of peace and comfort to those who need it.

 "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure"

Psalm 122:6
