Great Deals Online and in Stores! How to pamper yourself for a price thats still in your Budget!

I think that sometimes, we women deserve to pamper ourselves! There are the usual choices... go to Tahiti for a beach vacation...go to a nature spa... or for those of us who aren't millionares, find deals and steals online or in stores. First of all, if you live near an H&M and you havn't already fallen in love with the supreme quality and the amazing, down to earth prices (hint: gorgeous bikini top that reminds me of Rio for $4.50!) then go and check the store out! Sad Fact: H&M does not have an online retaile store for the USA. But you can vistit www.hm.com for a US store directory. My new love for high end fragrences and luxe bath and body products is www.perfumespot.com my current favorites would be Eternity Moment by Calvin Klien 6oz Whipped Body Cream its unusually delicate for a fruity floral and it smells just like summer! And the price? $19.99 versus the usual $45.00! Smooth it on and it leaves your skin feeling like silk all day and smelling wonderful. Another useful website is of course, www.avon.com. As always Avon has quality bath and body products for great prices. My favorite summer scent just became avaliable in the "sale" section. RioRythms by mark is one of the most interesting in its transformation of all the fragrences i love. It starts out freshly fruity and floral and develops into a light musk. And the price? For 1.7 fl oz (with this scent that goes a long way) the price is $7.99. Also at Avon, if you love natural hair care products but are sick or the price then try any of the naturals shampoos and conditioners. They come in a varity of styles and scents from dry to oily hair. With nourishing protiens they help strengthen your hair, while keeping it feeling lite and silky. The last thing you need for a true spa feel is face scrubs! St. Ives is my favorite scrub because they are so diverse and great feeling! www.soap.com has up to 25 percent off some of your favortie skin care lines so go check it out! Happy Spa day! For a feel good price!

Fashion Show Looks to Channel into your Wardrobe!

   As always Marc Jacobs delievers extremely wearable styles that can easily go from runway to street however, who has the money to spend $1,000+ on something that will be "out of style" in a season? The key is to add to your wardrobe pieces that will be able to be used season after season and still be considered "fashionable". One such piece that Marc Jacobs shows again and again on his runway is a military inspired straw hat that brings to mind an army helmet turned city chic. Any hat that can go from beach to city is ideal, and also it delivers amazing sun protection.Take a look at the bright, beachy sun dresses, such as the one that opens the show. A good sundress that has color and personality is a fashion staple. I dont care who you are or where you are from, slipping into one of these dresses, with a pair of funky shoes (hint: wedges) makes you feel the beach, even if you live hours from an ocean! And, of course, find a glam purse that suits you. With purses, i suggest something that will go with many of the outfits that you have in your wardrobe. A charcole is a fab take on the traditional black and a buttermilk (off white) can work with almost all the colors that you have in your closet. But remember, and i cant stress this one enough. You dont have to break the bank to find new outfits and you dont have to ride the designer wave, just pick a few pieces to center your spring and summer around, try fun accesories and play with them to where they work with your staple pieces. Splurge only on pieces you know you can fit into your wardrobe again and again! And as always, remain true to your own style.

Acessories Of The Moment: Cordage and Tassles... For Everything in your Wardrobe!

After seeing these delightful acessories all over the fall runway i predicted that they would be uber-haute this spring... and they are! Heres how to make one! If you are an online shopper try joann.com for tassles, go to the "Fabric" section, and then click on "Trims". Theyre cheap and chic! Some of the ones i found sold for as little as $1! If you like to get out and go on all your trend setter needs... just go to your local craft store. Ask for your waist size plus about five inches of tassles and trimming. This will make the belt the perfect length!

IDEAS: Belts for things like pencil skirts, which need something to accent the waist. Try tiny tassels on necklaces, simply slip them on a silver or gold chain and prepare for an adorable pendent. Tiny tassels can also work on bags! I would suggest slipping one thats a shade or two lighter than your bag on one of the straps of the bag. They add a ton of character and update an old bag... for cheap!!!

Who Am I? What do I love? And One Cute Summer Outfit Idea!

I'm a cute vintage dress from a second hand shop. Something unexpected. I'm a day at the beach salty breeze misting your skin. Something thats refreshing. I'm that girl who could sit outside all day, painting and drawing and taking photos, I love fahion.I love creating! Someone fun. So lets talk!!!

Want to know what i am wearing lately? I have an obsession with wedges! They're so fun and cute they can add such a cool vibe to any summer look! Summer is almost here so its soooo time to channel the beachy surfer looks but add something collected to your look. My suggestion? Try a vintage sundress ( empire waisted, any print works, preferably something bright but not over kill) and add a light weight small mens shirt over it (id say try white with a vivid pattern, or if the pattern has a consistiant color, go with that, but remember, white on white is a no-no!) tie the mens shirt in a knot that hits at like your belly button next get some adorable wedges! For acessories im going to recommend a necklace that channels edgy since so far we have one part relaxed and one part preppy finish with a cute tote bag. Remember that the cutest summer looks ever dont have to cost you tons! Sites i love for this look would be: 
                                                       dress: modcloth.com
                                                      shoes: charlotterusse.com
                                                       totes: why buy when im sure u have one at home! canvas works!
                                                       necklaces: make ur own!ill blog it!
and last but not least... i promise i will upload photos with the rest of my outfits! i cant find my wedges! must of loaned them out!!!
