Summer Sales Pink and Pretty

Summer is here and finally, so am I. I cant wait to talk to you guys about all the fun summer products I have been testing out recently, but first and foremost since I have no clue how much time you have, get your buns over to Victoria's Secret for their Semi-Annual Sale.

I was in there Saturday spending money like water on everything from their PINK line, to their new fabulous beauty products, because the only thing I love more than a deal on frilly underthings is a deal on beauty products.

I love Victoria's Secret PINK for lounging about the house. I know you are thinking "my god why would I want words scrawled across my booty" and you would be right, I wouldn't. There are plenty of things in that section that wont have you looking like you are twelve. There are some print free super cute sleep shorts and capris, there are also great tanks and baby soft graphic tees that are perfect for summer mornings on the veranda with your coffee, or summer evenings curled up with a great book or movie. The key to PINK is fun, and I don't know about you but I am not at all ready to wear an old school nightgown to bed. I am nobody's grandma.

The best thing about PINK is that this week their panties are 5 for $25! Some are even less that that. How can you pass up the opportunity to wiggle your fanny into $5 draws? Go check out PINK online or at your favorite Vickie's.

Oh wait but lets not get ahead of ourselves. This is a beauty blog, and we have you running around in your cute new stuff without something to spritz, rub, or glide on for some extra summer pretty. Ladies why did no one tell me about Beauty Rush?

Beauty Rush, (yes I am probably the last to know) is Victoria's Secret's deliciously scented line of beauty and body care. I seriously spent a good 20 minutes trying to decide which decadent scent was best on me. I finally settled on Slice of Heaven which is described as "Sugary, Vanilla Cake". It all makes perfect sense now. Everyone knows I am completely incapable of turning down all things Cake related!

There are so many different fruity and delicious scents to choose from, I was starting to think I would never decide, until I realized that they are all on sale this week! They are all two for $18 online and in store. That means you can get Body Glimmer Wash and Body Drink Lotion for $18, or you can get the Body Double Mist with Zing Moisture Gel for $18 bucks! Or you can be greedy like me an get the entire line, two Beauty Rush Lip Glosses (on sale 2 for $10), and two Luminous Eye Shadows (2 for $10), and walk out very cute and very broke.

I couldn't figure out when the sale ends but my guess is soon, so run or type really fast and get to Victoria's secret and partake in the Semi Annual Sale, and meet me on the veranda for coffee and biscotti, my treat!

Holiday Events

As we venture into December, there are a few things to remember before we all get out our Holiday best. First ladies, its super important to have your look picked out before your holiday event arrives. I have a good friend who was out searching for her holiday wrap at the eleventh hour. This type of thing can throw a monkey wrench in your outfit plans. Wherever you go, you want to be stylish and unique and its really not impossible to do.

Perhaps you are attending an office function or a holiday get together with friends. The key is to keep it classic while showing off your personality. I just attended a semi-formal/cocktail dress office event, and everyone was dressed beautifully, but a few weeks earlier I attended a black tie industry event where more than a few attendees had me scratching my head. Just for clarification purposes, black tie for women means formal, and formal does not include summer sandals, spandex or anything one-piece that’s involves white gauchos. These are things I have seen with my own eyes ladies and they are frightful!

There are a lot of great places to go for your holiday look this season. You don’t have to break your budget to look nice either. Banana Republic has some great event dresses and tops this year. Red is definitely on the radar for hot holiday looks. New York & Company also has some great pieces and cute costume accessories to glam up your holiday get together. Macy’s shoe department is filled with sexy party shoes and sophisticated pumps in an array of colors. I was in The Limited a few weeks ago and saw some extra cute clutches and evening bags that would be the perfect complement to your holiday outfit. While I was scanning my Lucky magazine yesterday I came across an ad for Wal-Mart’s Metro7 line which also offers holiday looks at a cost conscious price. See ladies there are plenty of looks to choose from so there is no excuse what so ever for me to catch you out in the street wearing that one piece gaucho outfit with summer sandals.

Happy Shopping!

Still Tippin

My membership in the "Die Hard Mariah Carey Stan" Fan Club became official the day that I adopted her shoe quote from MTV Cribs. While strolling through her emense closet (while the rest of us drooled) she waded through racks and racks of beautifully expensive shoes. Daintily picking up a pair of faboulous sticks to adorn her stems, she uttered this phrase.

"The shoe that I favor is a high stiletto, and the designer that I favor is
anyone thats going to stick to that motif"

If you saw my closet you would know that in my opinion truer words have never been spoken. I love a nice high stiletto shoe. Just ask themakeupgirl she knows. She has infact (recently) been witness to my devotion. Naturally I am exstatic about the new movement towards pointed-toe stilettos.

Nine West has some great ones that are fashionable, sexy, work appropriate (in some cases) and wont damage your credit rating. My new faves are reds, animal prints and peep toes and Nine West has them all. They also have a great collection of fall boots that my wallet wont let me support right now but I do have a gift card that will go to a great new pair of cute fall shoes! Dont let Mariah catch you slipping ladies, go support that habit.
