Sexy Pleaser sandals

May 12th, 2008

I don’t know why, maybe it’s summer now and I’m enjoying the feeling of bare feet in sandals, all of a sudden I really want to get a pair of all out sexy sandals from Pleaser, the brand synonymous with premium sexy and exotic footwear. I was browsing Madam Shoes, THE place to get stripper heels, heehee. I’m surprised at myself, I can’t imagine wearing these, the heels are all super high, I’d look ridiculous walking in these. But I can’t help wanting a pair. Maybe I’ll wear ‘em to the family reunion this summer. Lol, I’m joking. With a really demure dress, it could work for me. I definitely draw the line at the clear 6 inch heel with 3 inch platform though.

Deal Alert - Avon Supershock Mascara

May 9th, 2008

Avon Supershock Mascara $8.50 on sale for $4.99! Fantastic deal for a great mascara. Avon says it can give you super fat lashes, up to 12x more volume. I don’t know if it made my lashes that thick (12 times thicker….pshaw, that’s way too exaggerated), but it did a quite impressive job. You just need to put on a few more coats. The rubber comb-like wand keeps them clump-free. Definitely worth the 5 bucks.

Zappos has everything!

May 9th, 2008

This is probably old news for some of you, but it’s been a while since I stopped by zappos.com, and they’ve started selling clothes now? It’s no longer a mega shoe store. What can’t good ol’ Zappos do? So I have to check out the clothes. They have a wide range of brands and price points. These are some of the summer looks that I wouldn’t mind getting into.

Betsey Johnson - Gerber Daisies Dress (Aqua) - Apparel Betsey Johnson - Gerber Daisies Dress (Aqua) - Apparel $325. Super cute! Love the vertical bow and the whimsical daisy print.

MISS SIXTY - Allison Singlet (Bright Yellow) - Apparel MISS SIXTY - Allison Singlet (Bright Yellow) - Apparel $119. You dare wear this tiny little short dress? I hope so! If not, you can definitely wear it over a bikini as a cover up on the beach.

Ben Sherman - Eaton Sleeveless Dress (Crimson) - Apparel Ben Sherman - Eaton Sleeveless Dress (Crimson) - Apparel $100. Gingham always emerges as the weather gets warmer and sunnier. It’s time to have picnics and play in the park more often. This dress is utterly adorable.

Rip Curl - Sea Shell Dress (Fluorite Green) - Apparel Rip Curl - Sea Shell Dress (Fluorite Green) - Apparel $50. Such a flattering shape this dress has. If you have an hour glass shape, this will be perfect for you to show off your curves. The green shade is soft and neutral.

...Lost - Verdugo Dress (White) - Apparel…Lost - Verdugo Dress (White) - Apparel $36. How cool is this print? I stared at it for too long and got a little light-headed, lol.

MICHAEL Michael Kors - Astor Grommet Sling (Taupe) - Footwear MICHAEL Michael Kors - Astor Grommet Sling (Taupe) - Footwear $153. I just really like strappy platform sandals with chunky heels.

Don’t let this happen to you

My goodness, I didn’t know Mischa Barton was in such a terrible shape considering she’s so young and slim. Bikini season’s coming soon. It’s time to get our body ready for it, darlings. I don’t have any tricks. But definitely stay away from junk food ’cause the toxins will be deposited in your thighs especially if you are genetically predisposed to cellulite. I’m doing my best to eat more veggies and fruit now. I also believe green tea can help flush toxins out of your system. And I’m trying to use body scrubs more frequently. Using a body scrub in the shower not only gets rid of the dead skin cells, but it also helps your circulation and that also helps your body move the toxins out. And of course exercising is important. This will be the most difficult for me since I’m a lazy bum all year around. My guy’s trying to get me to hit his punching bag with his so he bought me my own pair of gloves and shin pads. We’ll see if I’ll last. These pictures of Mischa Barton might scare me into exercising ;)

Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish 14.1 oz $65. Fantastic scrub that smells heavenly and lasts forever.

3 for $99 shoes

May 8th, 2008

Oh SmartBargains.com got the best deal right now — 3 for $99 Shoes! Well, let’s see which shoes I would get and which ones I wouldn’t.

WANT:
betsey-johnson-cosmo-flat-with-bow.jpg Betsey Johnson Cosmo Flat with Bow. These flats are just the cutest things. Betsey Johnson always gives her shoes such lovely details like butterfly cutouts and butterfly print on the inside.

steve-madden-knitte-t-strap-studded-sandal.jpg Steve Madden Knitte T-Strap Studded Sandal. Casual chic with a bit glamour, and the little wedge heel makes this sandal great for work.

franco-sarto-vogue-patent-leather-pump-with-bow.jpg Franco Sarto Vogue Patent Leather Pump with Bow. Gorgeous color. And a bow! I’m obsessed with bows on shoes. Pair these with a tight pencil skirt for that sexy secretary look.

carlos-by-carlos-santana-marquis-multicolor-sandal.jpg Carlos by Carlos Santana Marquis Multicolor Sandal. Gotta have a pair of platform sandals this summer. Love the color combo of this one.

naturalizer-prissy-polka-dot-strappy-dress-sandal.jpg Naturalizer Prissy Polka Dot Strappy Dress Sandal. Seems every time when summer rolls around, the cute polka dot comes out to play.

carlos-by-carlos-santana-explicit-braided-sandal.jpg Carlos by Carlos Santana Explicit Braided Sandal. Love the braided straps.

DON’T WANT:
dr-scholls-spice-sporty-buckled-flats.jpg Dr. Scholl’s Spice Sporty Buckled Flats. I’m sure it’s comfy, but it can’t find the ugly clunky shape even if they use faux-patent leather.

steven-by-steve-madden-flyp-maryjane-flat.jpg Steven by Steve Madden Flyp Maryjane Flat. Black rubber and shiny gold faux leather don’t mix so well.

steve-madden-shynee-sequined-sneaker.jpg Steve Madden Shynee Sequined Sneaker. Sequined sneakers? that’s just wrong.

Deal ends 5-9 11:59PM PT!

Pretty feathers for your hair

May 7th, 2008

I just got my annual magic hair straightening. Yay! My hair’s all silky and super straight now. No more poufy hair that looked like it exploded in the morning! Whenever I get hair straightening, I like to buy a bunch of new hair bands, sorta like rewards for my hair. I instantly fell in love with the feather headband exclusively at UO. So pretty and artistic.

plumage-headband.jpg plumage-headband2.jpg Plumage Headband $18

crystal-plumage-hairclip.jpg crystal-plumage-hairclip2.jpg Crystal Plumage Hairclip $18. Also love this hairclip! would go perfect with cute sundresses.

May 7th, 2008

Women: Women's Georgette Halter Dresses - All-Over Print As soon as I got the email about Neon Nights Collection, vibrant summer styles in living color, at Old Navy, I went there to check it out. I can’t say the whole collection is that bright-colored. The only thing that caught my eye was this Georgette Halter Dresses - All-Over Print $39.50. Really like the handkerchief-style print and the asymmetrical hemline. It’ll be a perfect little dress for little summer getaways.

Splurge v.s. Steal - Miu Miu bag

May 6th, 2008

Miu Miu Oversized matelasse tote ($1,590) has been a hot bag for quite a while now. Miu Miu really has some staying power despite being so trendy at the same time. So… it doesn’t looks like it’s going to go on sale anytime soon.

UrbanOutfitters doesn’t disappoint. You can get this awesome Deux Lux Pintuck Satchel for $68, definitely a steal. Love the seafoam green color too, strangely.

Get a boatload of e.l.f products

May 6th, 2008

Still hunting for great Mother’s Day gifts? For those of us on a budget but really want to get some fun makeup that costs so little for moms (especially the young moms that have no time for themselves), I can’t recommend e.l.f. cosmetics’s products enough. It’s been a while since I last ordered from their site. Now it seems they have expanded their lines quite a bit ever since. I just ordered some of my favorite old faithfuls and some new additions that I’m dying to try. Literally a basket full for less than $20! And I’m going to give some to my mom to play with.

NEW Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF Box Set of 5 $5. One of my all-time favorite lip gloss with SPF 15. They are non-sticky and super sheer, gorgeous easy-to-wear shades, nice fruity scent, plus sufficient sun protection. What’s not to love?

Blush Set $5. I really like these Natural Radiance Blushers, Shy, Glow, Coy, and Flushed. They have a very smooth texture that applies evenly and imparts sheer color with a soft glow for a soft shine finish . The soft blending brush is great, too.

Nail Polish $1. e.l.f’s new nail polish in the neat drip bottle. The chip resistant shield gives long lasting nail color with high shine. It’s even got Vitamin E for stronger healthier nails. Talk about getting the bang for your buck! I’m going to get the Berry Pink, Nude, and Light Red shades to try.

shimmering-facial-whip.jpg Shimmering Facial Whip $1, these shimmery highlighting creams are great for cheeks, eyes, or lips. Fairly easy to blend because it’s non-sticky and non-greasy, and the sheen is subtle if you blend it in really well.

Mineral Starter Kits $20. Everybody’s doing a mineral makeup line nowadays, e.l.f’s not being left behind. I have heard many good things about this kit. Some reviews even say this is comparable to the premium brand mineral lines. The price is considerably less, it’s worth a try. The kit includes Mineral Foundation-SPF 15, Mineral Concealer-SPF 15, Mineral Blush, Total Face Brush, Blush Brush, and Canvas Case.

Bath Sets $15, e.l.f’s new body care line. I’m getting the Vanilla Coconut and Cucumber Melon sets for my mom, two of her favorite scents. Each set includes body lotion, hand soap, hand cream, bath gel, and body butter.

White handbags

May 6th, 2008

I bought a couple of new print dresses. So I wanted to use one of my old white bags to go with my dress and found that they aren’t in such great shape, either stained or bent out of shape after being in the storage bins for so long. I really need to learn how to store my bags properly. In the mean time I need a new white bag, something simple with subtle details, and of course it has to be roomy and comfortable to carry. A white handbag is as essential as the little white dress in the summer!

Fendi Doctor style tote $1,680

Boyy Frank Tote Boyy Frank Tote $695

Botkier Vixen shoulder bag $600

Elliott Lucca Bettina White Leather Tote $318 $149.99

BJJ WHITE PARIS Steve Madden BJJ WHITE PARIS $98

Yay a new Sophie Kinsella book!

May 5th, 2008

I can’t believe I was so out of loop on this! I didn’t know Sophie Kinsella had a new book out until my best friend told me that she bought it. Gosh she’s had us wait for quite a long time for her new book, hasn’t she? Have any of you read Remember Me? yet? Is it good? Who am I kidding? It gotta be fantastic like all her other books. Here’s a video in where she talks about the book. She looks so adorable. I’m going to pick up a copy today after work.
