"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." - Coco Chanel

April 27th, 2012 - Make Up Necessities...

Every girl has certain go-to beauty products that are essential for daily use; this is one of mine. I don't like to wear too much make up and so it took me some time to find a powder that gave a natural look with coverage and didn't feel heavy on my face. This Minirelize Skinfinish powder by MAC does exactly that with a soft sheer finish. You can buy MAC products at any Macy's or Nordstrom or at the MAC store. They rarely have promotions on cosmetics so the powder can be a little costly at $31, but for me this item is worth it and it does last a very long time. Happy Shopping! <3

April 26th 2012 - Pretty in Pink...

Cardigans can be so versatile and I don't think you can never have too many, especially since there are so many styles and colors!  I really liked this light pink one with a simple delicate lace detail, perfect over a cute top or dress for work. For me, this was another great Forever 21 find and you can't beat the price, only $15! Happy Shopping! <3

April 23rd, 2012 - Color Blocking!

One of the biggest trends of this spring/summer season is color blocking which makes for fun outfits combining bold complimentary colors. I really liked the look of this simple color blocked Guess shirt, with black button detail in the back, at Macy's because it has the pop of color without being over the top. And paired with black pants or skinny jeans, will be a great look for work or dinner out. *Note: starting today through this Sunday at Macy's is the friends and family event where you can save an extra 25% off, including designer items, with your Macy's card. Happy Shopping! <3

April 22nd, 2012 - More Colors!

I looove nail polish and I like to change it often! That's why I was so happy to find this fun Resort Collection by Essie that offers four different glam shades in small sizes including Pink-a-Boo, She's Picture Perfect, Sure Shot, and No More Film. This collection is only $17.00 at Ulta Beauty. This way you get the variety without having to buy the large individual bottles that are more expensive and you may not want to wear next season.  And remember, if you subscribe to the Ulta rewards program you'll receive weekly promotions, including $3.50 off purchase of $10.00 or more, like I did. Happy Shopping! <3

April 17th 2012 - Ooh snakeskin...

I love these shoes! I was very happy to find them as my previous pair of snakeskin pumps that i wore like crazy were ruined. These were a great Nordstrom.com find: under $100, delivered to my house with Free Shipping and a 3% cash back rebate for using ebates.com. I also find Enzo Angiolini shoes to be pretty comfortable as far as high heeled pumps go. Happy Shopping! <3

April 16th, 2012 - Scents for the home that really last!

I love opening the door to my apt. and finding a really nice, fresh smell but most air freshners or plug-ins I had tried didn't last very long.

There is a great variety of adorable plug-ins to choose from and each refill will scent your home for approximately one month! Plus you can get any of your favorite Bath and Body Works scents including Japaness Cherry Blossom, Sensual Amber, etc. Right now, choose from all wall flowers and refills for only: 4 for $20 or 6 for $24 both in store and online.

April 14th, 2012 - Must haves for your nails...

Yesterday, I went to Ulta Beauty for a new nail color and found this awesome sparkly gunmetal Essie shade called "Over the Top." I also needed a new bottle of my "Seche Vite" top coat which is the absolute best quick dry polish I have ever used. My manicurist introduced me to it a few years ago and I always make sure to have a bottle at home for when I do my nails myself. Not only do your nails really dry after 5 minutes but the polish will also last longer. If you subscribe to the Ulta rewards program, they will send you varied coupons approximately every two weeks including 20% off your entire purchase which I received this week. Happy shopping! <3

They have clothes, shoes, accesories and the most adorable and interesting accesories for the house.

April 11th, 2012 - Charles David = Love

I've had my eye on these for a few weeks now and yesterday I decided I just had to have them. As far as classic pumps go, I have tried many brands and I find Charles David to not only be absolutely fabulous but also the most comfortable and still reasonably priced. Over the years, I have continuously replaced my black Charles David pumps when necessary as they are essential to my wardrobe, and now I'm super excited about this new red patent leather pair I found at Nordstrom! Happy Shopping! <3

April 10th, 2012 - Great piece for small space...

I have been looking for a narrow shelving unit / TV stand for a very tight space that also needed to be functional and sturdy enough for the weight of the TV. After much searching, I found this piece on Target.com. It has received good reviews and has exactly the dimensions I need, for only $80! I started my online Target purchase through ebates.com which is currently offering 6% cash back from this store plus using my Target card means an additional 5% off upon purchase and Free Shipping. This is the image from Target, mine is on the way! Happy Shopping! <3

April 9th 2012, Palazzo Pants

These are great Palazzo pants from Nordstrom. The material is really soft and the look is flattering. I wasn't sure about the return of palazzo's and if I'd like them on myself but after seeing these in the Nordstrom catalogue, I decided to try them. They just arrived yesterday, I got them through Nordstrom.com and because I started my purchase through the ebates.com website, I received 3% cash back on my purchase. Happy Shopping! <3

April 8th, 2012, Long Dress Love....

I love long dresses! I think they are a great option in the summer and paired with cute sandals and a nice bag, you'll have a trendy and comfortable day outfit in no time. I found this dress today at Forever 21 for less than $20! For those of us who like to change up our closets pretty often, you can't beat the prices at Forever 21 and Forever21.com. Happy Shopping! <3

April 7th 2012, A Gift for Your Hair...

I'm very excited about this purchase! I have tried countless hair products that have been alright, but after sampling the Moroccan Oil products a couple of times, I really noticed a difference. My hair was extremely soft, even after the daily flat iron damage. This line of products is a little pricey but after some internet research, I found the best offer was at Amazon.com. I chose the styling creme which just arrived yesterday and I can't wait to use it! Happy Shopping! <3 

April 6th 2012, Fun Shoes for Spring!

One of the best parts of Spring and Summer for me is all the great color items you can find, especially this season that bright colors are everywhere! These very cute and comfortable espadrilles are from Nordstrom and are perfect shoes to wear on the weekend when you need something a little cuter than flats. They come in several colors; I went for the light orange and can't wait to wear them already! Happy Shopping! <3

April 5th, 2012 - A little something for the apartment...

I've always thought chandeliers are fabulous! Unfortunately, not every home is built for one as is the case with my small apartment. That's why I was so excited to find this fabulous 16 X 20 Chandelier Canvas at Target.com. It was a great deal, and offers the glam look of a chandelier with a modern twist. I just got it and put it up yesterday! Target.com service doesn't disappoint. And if you apply for the Target red card (credit or debit) you get 5% back on every purchase plus free shipping always! Happy shopping! <3
