In The Mood For A Vacation...




Just looking at this Tori One Shoulder Dress makes me want to go on vacation. I love the flowy crepe sleeve. I can just envision it blowing in the warm breeze as I sip on my pina colada. For a more casual look, it would be perfect with gold Grecian flat, sandals.

This would also make a really cute NY's dress if you added some metallic jewelry and sparkle.

Gearing Up For New Years....


New Years has really always been an enigma to me. I always get excited to get dressed up and go out but then end up having just a so-so time and kinda wishing I had just stayed in. That, in a nutshell, is the inspiration behind this post and why I love this Dazzle mini. This cute little sparkler would be adorable with a sexy back tank, tights and heels but could also be worn after New Years with a big over sized black sweater. The price isn't so bad either...hopefully it will offset the REALLY expensive tickets you just bought for your NY's party.

Sexiness At A Low Volume




I am always on the quest to find clothing that will make heads turn but not in a, "I'm a one night stand" kinda way. This One Grey Day, Yawl Dress, is exactly what I had in mind. The beautiful body skimming floor length dress is classy but the low peekaboo sides are sexy. This is definitely a "head turner".

My New Obsession-www.beautyhabit.com

I just got my first order from Beauty Habit and all I can think is that it may have been really bad news that I discovered this site. They offer an incredible selection of most coveted products and hard to find independent labels. It's a beauty addict's mecca.
Here are a few of my favorites from my order:(BTW they also mail each package with an incredible assortment of samples!)



Faith Perfume-works with each individuals own natural body chemistry to provide them with their own unique scent. It is super soft and sexy.

Steam Cream-
Using a steam-infused manufacturing process, Steam Cream provides an intensive lotion that can be used on the face, body and hands.
TO BUY ($18)



Calypso St. Barths Lea- OMG, this fragrance is absolutely amazing! It is a super sexy mix of Egyptian Musk, Mexican Vanilla and an infusion of Bitter Almonds.
TO BUY ($135)




Aromatherapy Associates - Light Relax Bath and Shower Oil
- this has a wonderfully relaxing Lavender smell and can be poured directly into bath water or applied to body pre-shower. So luxurious and relaxing!

My Favorite City Shoe


I just bought these BP. Kari boots and I have seriously worn them three days in a row! They are the perfect City shoe. They are super cute, super durable and super comfortable. Since they are faux leather they actually bode really well in the rain too. I highly recommend these!

Basic, Yet Not So Much


Loving the bat-winged arms at this Riller & Fount Maui tunic. This would be adorable over leggings or even with just tights as a dress. Pile on a statement necklace and this tee can easier turn into evening wear.

Brilliant!


I love the idea behind these Dekkori Caprice Midrise Boots. You basically take your favorite pair of heels(or any pair of heels for that matter!), attach these and voila, you have a new pair of leather booties. The construction on these is perfect too, perfectly slouchy and perfectly open on the top.

Do'in It Like Lady Gaga





I get approached to write sponsored blog posts quite a bit, but I have always stayed true to my style and vision and would never do a post(paid or otherwise) unless I truly liked the product.

That being said,when I was approached to do a post for Carrera, one on the main eye wear fashion brands, I was super excited to see what new products they had to show since they are known for design and innovation. I quickly became totally obsessed with these Carrera Champion sunglasses, from their recently relaunched “vintage collection.” You may recognize them from Lady Gaga's(another one of my favorite fashion trendsetters!!) music video “Bad Romance”. There is nothing sexier than a sleek pair of white sunglasses. I love the thin, yet bold structure of the aviator frames. This particular style is actually inspired by the original design first introduced in the early Eighties. It's like a throw-back with a modern twist and "I likey".

Go To With Leggings


I am a leggings kind of gal. I am also a lazy, cozy, relaxed weekend kind of gal. Perhaps that is why I desperately want this Brandy & Melville Baggy Crop Hoodie Sweater. This with leggings is the perfect weekend attire.

Fate Delivered This To Me


In what seems to be an interesting chain of events, I just discovered a small little fountain of youth. My good friend Liz and I were out for drinks last night and the conversation quickly turned to our disdain of the small little lines around our eyes. We were also discussing our wishes for a magical product that would just take them away.

Well, this morning I woke up and decided to give myself a little facial and in this process used the Bliss triple oxygen instant energizing eye mask for the first time. I have always been a fan of the Triple Oxygen Mask, but let me tell you, that mask has nothing on these little gems. After leaving it on for only 15 minutes, the lines around my eyes are literally no longer visible! I'm not sure how long this little magic trick will last but I am definitely buying a years supply of these bad boys for when I go out.

A Little Drama Never Hurt Anyone


I almost died when I found this necklace and looked at the price. I had to do a double take to make sure it was correct. Did they forget a 0?? I love the costume-y drama of the rhinestone statement necklace. It is the perfect accessory to add some extra umph...to those LBD's. It would also be adorable over a white tee with a leather jacket and jeans.

Seeing Double


I have been using the Go Brow,Universal Brow Pencil by Anastasia for years and I am an avid user. I love the color of the brown filler pencil and the highlighter gives you that perfect radiance along the brow line. It is definitely a must have in my beauty bag.

I was in Target the other day and noticed that Soap & Glory has a similar product called Arch de Triumph, that is a lot easier on the pocket book. I haven't actually tried their version yet, but it is definitely worth a test run.

Striped To Perfection



I get giddy when I find a piece of clothing that is so basic, yet so cute, I can immediately envision hundred's of outfits using it with just one glance. That is how I feel about this striped sweater top. I love the boxy cut and think it would be so cute with a longer, layering tank beneath it. The price 'aint that bad either....

Great Gift Idea Under $30



Everyone loves to be surrounded by inviting fragrances, so who wouldn't want this Royal Apothic Interior Perfume as a gift? I love the vintage inspired label and atomizer design. This is the perfect hostess, housewarming or "just because I love you" gift.

Comfy Cozy


I have been looking for a reasonably priced cardi with fringe for some time. Most of the ones I have found have either been uber-expensive or sold-out instantly. That is, until I found this adorable one at Need Supply Co.

Comfort awaits me...

Ring-A-Ling



I sort of have an obsession with stackable rings, so when I came across these Ariella Collection Seven Band Multi Stack Rings, they really were no exception. The mother of pearl stones against the gold is absolutely gorgeous.. It's like wearing a winter wonderland on your finger.

Leather Jacket Envy


This BB Dakota, Damon Leather Jacket is so friggin cute I am actually trying to justify how to add it to my collection(which is already too large!). Perhaps I need to find out if anyone still needs some Christmas present ideas for me...hint...hint, size M please. ;)

Talk To The Shoulder


I love the shoulders on this Three Dots Turtleneck Dress. This is such a cute, creative take on the traditional LBD and it's definitely working for me. Add a belt and some tights and get ready to be a knock-out.
