Clutch Time!

2009-11-09T20:01:00.004-06:00

When you go out, do you lug around your big huge purse? Does it get in the way everywhere you go? Do you hate keeping up with it?My answer to this all of the above is yes! I've been looking for a super cute clutch for a long time. I finally found one! Its a little long but I can't wait to use it! Do you prefer a clutch or a big bag?Clutch: bought from Just Add Jeans...[online boutique]Send me

Honey, you might wanna change those pants….

2009-11-07T19:03:00.001-06:00

I’m a partial homebody! As much as I love to dress up, the second I get home, the fanciness comes off. T-shirts and yoga pants are all I’m worried about. This is good and bad, since it usually means I don’t want to change if I have to run and get something. And this was my problem the other evening… After getting home from work, I realized that I needed to go pick up a few supplies for a

Winter Weddings...what do you wear?!

2009-11-06T11:09:00.009-06:00

So we've talked about winter weddings/bridesmaids dresses, but what about when you are a guest to a winter wedding. What do you wear? Heck I have trouble picking out what to wear to any wedding. This question has come up quite a few times lately, by me and a reader. So, Lets figure it out! First off, think of dressing

Oh boy, Olsenboye!

2009-11-03T21:35:00.004-06:00

Unless you've been living under a rock with no tv, or media in the US for the last 23 years, then you definetly know who the Olsen twins are. Mary-Kate and Ashley have built an empire in their life so far, and made a huge impact on the fashion world through their own line, Elizabeth and James, and even their own coffee table book! Now, they are collaborating with JC Penney's for a new Junion

My Stiletto Saviour--a story from Sweden!

2009-11-02T21:13:00.003-06:00

As you know, there are big changes coming to the blog very soon, and Tiffany a mid-westerner transplanted to Sweden by love is working on it! She's doing an amazing job!! THANK YOU TIFF! She shared her feelings about her stilettos with me earlier and I had to share:"As a mid-western girl living abroad in Sweden, I find myself clinging to any flats or wedge heel shoes — this city is riddled with

Belt Buckle Bulge: SOLUTION!

2009-10-28T10:07:00.007-05:00

The waist of most of my pants (especially my jeans) stretches out pretty fast. Thus they require a belt. But I like to wear fitted tops that are longer than my pants waist. This leads to a dilemma. 1) Wear a belt, pull the top over the belt, and have a funny pooch in the front over the belt buckle. 2) Forget the belt and

Bridesmaid dresses that won't go straight to the back of the closet!

2009-10-23T09:18:00.005-05:00

This next year, I happen to have a lot of friends that are getting married. Hooray for them! Let’s just hope they don’t turn into Bridezillas! (I’m not saying I might not become one myself some day) *crosses fingers and toes hoping not to be one* Anyway, this means lots of brides will be choosing bridesmaids and more importantly bridesmaids dresses. After my last experience with a David’s Bridal

Obsession of the day: Leggings

2009-10-22T09:29:00.003-05:00

I could wear these every day for the rest of my life (or at least until I get tired of them). I mean work, play, and sleep in them. Mine are unbelievably comfortable. Today, it is basically flooding outside so rain boots are a must. And leggings are the perfect “pant?” to wear with them. They slide right in with out any stuffing and dry out quickly when a few rain drops hit them! Woo-hoo!Wear

Is this trend really worth it? Thigh-high/Over the Knee Boots

2009-10-20T19:18:00.002-05:00

I am patiently waiting for just the right time to wear my boots. And this has me wondering if one of the biggest trends this season is worth the hype—thigh-high boots? I haven’t bought any, nor do I really plan too, but they sure do look fun to wear! But they also look extremely uncomfortable?! Obviously they aren’t for eating dinner at the local Chili’s. 1) You have to sit down

Makeup wonderings

2009-10-14T11:13:00.003-05:00

I go on tangents a lot, usually because I’ve just had a number of experiences with whatever I’m talking about. Well, today it is about makeup.ULTA is opening soon! ---As you know, we are finally getting an ULTA in Tyler. Yay! I’m patiently waiting for it to open, and drive by every once in a while to check on its

The Death of a Heel

2009-10-13T13:18:00.003-05:00

It’s a sad dreary day in more ways than one! I live in the South where we are experiencing mass amounts of rain. Every time I look out the window, rain, rain, and rain! Now normally I don't mind the rain because I have an umbrella, rain boots, and/or coat. Today was not one of those days. I didn't expect the sky to open; I expected sprinkles, so I dressed cute in heels, pants, and cardi. As

RZP Finale...can Zoe handle the changes?

2009-10-12T09:43:00.007-05:00

Tonight is the season finale of the Rachel Zoe Projecet. *tear* I'll miss R,B, and T's crazy antics, awesome style, and wacky sayings!

As seasons change, I change others things too! Do you?

2009-10-08T10:33:00.004-05:00

As seasons change, more than just the weather switches, we all wear to warmer clothes in darker tones and colors, makeup palettes change from dewy skin to a more matte finish, less bronzer more blush, and richer jewel toned eye shadows and nail color. Well, same goes for my hair. I don’t really plan it but somehow, my

The hunt is on for the elusive, PBP!

2009-10-06T16:09:00.003-05:00

Hunting season has started, but I'm not looking for any cute furry/feathery animals. What I'm searching for is of the clothing variety ( a MUST-HAVE) but very hard to find. I'm searching for the Perfect Black Pant (PBP).Does anyone else have this problem? I have 2 pairs right now. One is too long to wear flats with; this drives me insane. The other pair is so loose in the waist that I have to

Does your hair really matter? I believe it does.

2009-09-30T15:47:00.004-05:00

Within the past year a big focus has come upon African-American women’s hair. Michelle Obama’s hair has especially garnered a lot of attention! This article, “Why Michelle Obama’s Hair Matters” on Yahoo! News caught my attention, opened my eyes and made me think. When Tyra Bank’s talk show premiered in September, she decided to reveal her “real hair” and declared September 8th National Real Hair

One-Long Sleeve Dresses, hit or miss or awful?

2009-09-29T10:40:00.003-05:00

Last night I was watching Dancing with the Stars, not a normal activity since Gossip Girl is my #1 monday show, and noticed an odd outfit. And it wasn't on a dancer!! It was on Samantha Harris, she's the host who interviews the dancers backstage. She had on a one-shoulder long dress, ok, but the other sleeve was down to her wrist. I stared every time she came on just because it looked odd. Then,

2009-09-25T13:46:00.002-05:00

Shine Beauty Guru Review: Olay Regenerist Anti-Aging Eye Roller

2009-09-23T10:17:00.005-05:00

As a Shine Beauty Guru, I get sent products to review. For September, we were sent Olay Regenerist products. I chose the Anti-Aging Eye Roller. Here is my review:When I think about skincare, wrinkles and fine lines are usually the last thing I consider. I mean I'm 23 and shouldn't have too many wrinkles yet right? So when I picked up the Olay Regenerist Anti-Aging Eye Roller to test as a Shine

The shoe I think every woman should own!

2009-09-19T19:43:00.009-05:00

Pumps, heels, stilettos..these are words that some women fear because they aren't "that type of girl" Well, I don't agree with this statement. I think that there is one type of pump that every woman should own. The black patent leather high heel will never go out of style. They instantly add chic to any outfit. They are just flashy enough to wear out, classy enough to wear to an interview,and

its over...sooner than I wanted.

Anyway, everyone has a few t-shirts and bottoms (shorts, sweatpants, yoga pants etc) that you lounge, do chores, or

5 Ways to Stay Feeling Fab in Horrendous Heat

2009-08-11T15:03:00.013-05:00

August is the worst of the summer months. The temperature is beyond just hot and it is almost impossible to feel sexy. Clothes feel tight and sticky; make up feels heavy and pore-clogging. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Here are 5 products to make yourself feel sexier quickly and easily!Ponytail Holder-There is nothing easier than throwing your hair up in a ponytail, chignon, or bun. Whether

Thus, I'm constantly hot.My usual wardrobe has sleeves but lately I've been going sleeveless, wearing dresses and tops (not spaghettie straps, but with about 2 to 3 inches thick straps). Its just too too hot to wear a jacket or cardi.Now, under any other circumstance I would never ever ever ever do this. I

I couldn’t resist sharing: Pair black tights with everything you own They’re a sleek finishing touch, and they keep even a combo of girly layers, polka dots and lace trim from looking too cupcake-ish.

What is your go-to backup outfit?

2009-07-28T14:48:00.001-05:00

This morning I woke up 20 minutes later than I normally do. It left me with about 15 minutes to get ready. Eeek! So, I slapped on the bare minimum of makeup and put on a headband to tame my crazy hair. Then ran to my closet for clothes.Now usually, I got through at least 2 outfits before I finally settle on one to wear. But today, I didn't have that luxury. So, I chose my trusty standby outfit.

What is Your Mortifying Beauty Product?

2009-07-27T15:40:00.005-05:00

Last month, we talked about the one beauty product we couldn't live without. But is there a product that you use that you would be horrified if anyone found out you used it? Some beauty trick that everyone always compliments you on and you tell them its natural, when really its something only you well ever know? Well I know I do.I use Nivea Good-bye Cellulite Gel-Cream. I think that it makes my

No Buy July Update

2009-07-25T15:32:00.004-05:00

Well No Buy July is quickly coming to an end. Here’s and update. It hasn’t been the easiest but I’ve been getting through it. Sure there has been plenty of temptation but I’ve done really well and resisted. That is until last Saturday. I had a terrible morning at the car repair place and then headed to Target to pick some last minute things before my friend came to town. This was my first mistake

Bump-its: at the height of the sensation!

2009-07-23T20:23:00.002-05:00

Are you flat? Is your hair? Do you need a boost? I’m sure you’ve heard of the newest “as seen on TV” sensation: Bump-its. I happen to be one of those people that have heard about something, gets involved, then it BLOWS up and everyone does it. Example: Twitter. I signed up right before the media became so fascinated. Anyway, that’s what happened with bump-its. I happened to see the

How has your style evolved over the years?

2009-07-21T14:00:00.006-05:00

I was getting dressed for work yesterday, pulled out various outfits, making various combinations, ran out of time, threw one on, and walked out the door. Later, I caught my reflection in a window and was pleasantly shocked. I looked nice and pulled together with very minimum effort. This got me to thinking. My closet has become filled with such great pieces, some I never would have bought a few

No Buy July update!

2009-07-16T13:49:00.002-05:00

So we've made it half way through the month! Yay! I am happy to say that i haven't purchased ANY of the banned items. Now the temptation has been there, but that's never going to go away. I must confess, it is quite easy to not buy anything if you don't go to stores. So basically I have been avoiding all stores with the banned items or at least avoiding those departments. Online "shopping" has

2009-07-06T13:06:00.003-05:00

Ok, Day 6 of No Buy July. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say I'm at about a 7.5. I managed to go to Target and NOT even go near the clothes, shoes, or beauty aisles the other day! But on the 4th I ran into my first question of whether or not to buy. I was shaving my legs, ( a must for a day in shorts) and ran out of shaving cream! eek! i shook the bottle just to see if I could loosen any last foam to

No Buy July Tip!

2009-07-04T10:22:00.002-05:00

Tip of the day:Go through your closet!! Now, I don't mean you have to get rid of stuff at all. Just look through it, and if you have time organize it. IF you do organize it, start small with one "category" at a time, like just dresses. I try to keep my dresses organized by strapless, casual, going out, work, dressy. Just looking through your closet, you'll be suprised 1) at how much stuff you

For ever season, there is a reason for a Purse?

2009-05-27T11:25:00.004-05:00

I’m going on a trip soon and I want to downsize my purse. I should go through my other purses to find the right one but of course, I want a new one. I would rather save my money to spend on the trip than buy a new purse FOR the trip. So, I’ll stick with my first option. But it does seem like I just had this thought like 2 or 3 months ago.

Maxi Dresses = Maxi Messes

2009-04-08T07:38:00.003-05:00

This past weekend, I went out to a restaurant with a live band; the weather was nice enough to sit outside and from the way people were dressed; you would have thought it was summer.

2009-03-30T18:50:00.000-05:00

Ok so spring has sprung and summer looms soon…meaning short shorts and bikinis. All in all, its time for skin to be shown in all its glory. I don’t know about anyone else but my legs haven’t really seen the light of day since September. I’ve recently started tanning (in a bed) again. I know I know, skin cancer in a box. But I don’t abuse it, and go about once a week. Thus, I’ll take my risks.

Don’t of the Week-Overdone Patterns

2009-03-24T07:52:00.001-05:00

Patterns are great all year long, and as the spring flowers bloom patterns come in bright pretty colors! Yet, people abuse this lovely trend so violently! Take a look:1. Floral patterns are great! Just not mixed on top AND bottom with the same pattern. Makes your eyes sore! With big prints, keep it one piece.2. Stripes and plaid are great patterns. Just not together and in clashing colors.3.
