glamourize your boots

the 2 bandits

ever wanted to add a bit of spice to your favorite boots? the 2 bandits have created the perfect fix...boot accessories. when i saw the gold chains from the riders collection, i thought, "i need a pair of these!" erica chan and tamar wider, "initially set about designing accessories to compliment their own wardrobes in their free time." 2bandits was designed to add life and versatility to any wardrobe. i'm torn between the black and camel color, decisions, decisions. check out the other styles that caught my eye...

microdermabrasion in a jar

 

every woman's dream is to have flawless, radiant, even skin...during one of our "girly" discussions a friend of mine brought up chemical peels.  i've heard great things about the end result, however, the process isn't so grand; skin peeling!! so i dialed up one of my beauty godesses and she turned me on to microdermabrasion, it gives you virtually the same results without all the peeling.  spa visits are god sends, but lets face it everyone doesn't have the time and/or budget to visit one every week. tah dah!! dr. brandt's microdermabrasion is here!! it's super easy to use and can be used up to two times a week. i had the pleasure of sampling this cream and i absolutely LOVED it!! don't frown on the $75 price tag, you have several applications, therefore, it defeats the spa visit that would cost you around the same (if not more) for one visit; in the end you're saving...it truly is an investment. purchase your jar at sephora or at the official dr. brandt website.  
 

love moschino...a contemporary collection

lately designers have noticed the buying crunch...people aren't really breaking the bank for the latest "it" bag or accessory, that's great news for fashionistas on a budget. as reported by the wwd, moschino is launching a contemporary line with price points ranging from $165 to $445. expect to see totes, clutches, wallets and shoulder bags in nappa, patent and calf leathers along with canvas and suede finishes. i have an obsession with hearts so...you guessed it the heart clutch is a MUST have!!  until next time...stay up and keep it fresh!! xo
 

put a little color into it

sifting through countless racks of clothes can be fun...lately dull colors have been poured into stores for the fall/winter. yawn!! i feel like i'm being bombarded with variations of black, white, gray and camel...BORING. what's the remedy for these drab colors?? add a little color!! easy enough...right?!!  jewelry with colored gemstones, vibrant camisoles and layers, generous color palettes for shoes and jewel tone coats and/or scarves easily transform dull to vivacious!! take caution...too much can put you in the circus clown category in a milisecond!! and that's a look we definitely don't want. here's a few tips:

1. if jewelry is your choice; stay away form plastic (looks juvenile and cheap) and keep the color choices to a minimum.

2. opting for camisoles or layers? just a little peak from the top or bottom of the main layer reveals a bit of fun and refined elegance.

3. have those colored pumps been on your mind lately? keep everything else basic or at least within the same palette. view your shoes as the grand finale; the fit is exquisite and then voila!! the shoes...you want everything to flow smooth and cohesively, too many colors will break the fluidity.

4. my personal favorite is colored scarf or coat!! why? it's easy, quick and effective. an aqua, purple, yellow or multicolored scarf will always add a bit of fun to a black coat. likewise, a colored coat adds pizazz to a black or gray fit.

still a non believer? see how these ladies did it...

 

until next time...stay up and keep it fresh!! xo
 
 

chilly

the temp is dropping, which means time to pull out the heavy coats and scarves. most guys try to tough it out or simply say they're not cold...we all know they are!! they just don't have a nice looking coat. well guys here's one for you!! hint, hint ladies love the polished, yet rugged look on men. dsquared has mastered that look in this motorcyle inspired jacket. dress it up or dress it down fellas!! the ladies will take notice.  
 

it's electric...

happy hump day!! i'm a slacker on wednesday's and i like to take it easy...like sunday morning. i found some interesting shoes while I was websurfing...
