Wishing you a very Happy New Years!!!! I am soooooooo ready to start 2011! New decade, new possibilities. Though no-one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new end. It's impossible to live life in the over flow if you are hanging on to those shoulda, coulda, woulda's from 2010. I'm walkin' on sunshine in 2011; No time to chase shade! Pack your sunscreen...... and sunglasses! There's room for everyone fabulous!

If living out of a suitcase means I'm wearing this, then a suitcase is my new closet. Niceee....

Wet n' Wild Holiday Palette: Snow Sprite (review)





Hello beauties!

I know, I know...just when you thought I had finished reviewing the Wet n' Wild Color Icon Holiday Palettes, I finally stumbled upon the only palette that I had not reviewed nor purchased at Walgreen's! So, yep, had to pick it up to test out and review for ya'll! I mean, it was the only one on display and I had regretted not buying it earlier (especially since I have read

Fashion Resolutions

I don't make traditional resolutions, but why not start out 2011 with some quick and easy fashion resolutions!

Wear Pretty Under Garments!

So the photo above is a bit extreme. But the only person who said it doesn't matter what your bra and panties look like was your mom in 1988. If you always rock the VS cotton panties and solid color bras, live on the edge. Purchase a set full of lace and trim and wear it on a random Wednesday to work or to Walmart!

Wear More Accessories!

Adding accessories to your wardrobe is a quick and easy way to remix your clothes. I'm going to challenge myself to purchase less clothes in 2011, (yeah right, but go with me) and splurge on more accessories- belts, scarfs, shoes, bracelets, necklaces, hats, etc. so I can reduce, reuse, recycle my clothes.

Organize Your Closet!

You may not have a closet the size of a celebrity, but that doesn't mean it can't be organized. An organized closet makes it easier for you to 'shop' your closet. If you're OCD like me, you can arrange your clothes by color or group things by category. You'll soon discover you already own 8 white blouses and probably don't need anymore.

Dress Up for No Reason!

Lucille, my grandmother, use to over dress for every occasion. Hat, gloves, scarf, purse, jewelry, makeup, nails, perfume, SJK Suit, just to go to the grocery store. I thought is was so odd as a child. One day I asked her why she always overdressed. Her reply, "Cause I can!" You don't need a reason to wear all that stuff in your closet you already paid for, other than you can. Don't let it go to waste next year. So when you are heading out to dinner or drinks with the girls, swap out the ever faithful and comfy leggings and blazer for a dress!

Try Something New!
Take a cue from Rihanna. She tries a new hair style every 7 days! Maybe you can't dye your hair red, but if you wear glasses, get contacts; If you always wear pants, try a dress; if you live in flats or flip-flops, try heels; if you're relaxed, go natural; Sans makeup, try on some lipstick! I don't know what it is for you, but try something new. You may find that you like it. And if you don't, at least you tried.

Pamper Yourself!
Massage, mani-pedi, facials, blowout, makeup artist, dermatologist/esthetician, etc. Treat yourself once in a while next year. You deserve it for just for being you! If you can't spend a lot of extra money, at least splurge on nice beauty and bath products, purchase nice sheets and towels, or just take time out of your busy schedule to have quiet time at home.

Holy Sale! Select items 50-75% off at CVS!



Happy New Years lovely readers!

Just a quick post today to alert you to a major sale at CVS!!! Many of you have probably heard already, but I thought I would post this anyway along with a picture of what I picked up! Many items from Revlon, Maybelline, Almay, Cover Girl, L'Oreal, and Physician's Formula were on sale at my local store. I did show restraint though, lol, and only bought items

Best Dressed in 2010

There were so many great fashions moments in 2010. It was hard to narrow it down, but here are my faves!
The Kardashian's were everywhere from LA to NYC looking fab!

Zoe Saldana looked flawless on the red carpet!

Halle Berry showed us what our 40's probably won't look like!

June Ambrose served up great "Fashion Dossier" on Twitter, and had you thinking you could turn your night scarf into a turban!

Blake Lively proved that cutting out the middle man (stylist), and working directly with the designer, can produce some good looks!

Olivia Palermo rocked classic street style and reminded us why we really tuned in to "The City"- her fashion!

Jennifer Lopez walked the red carpet this year and darn near set it on fiyah every time!

But the yearbook superlative has to go to Rihanna. I could care less if her next CD was a remix of nursery rhymes, because her fashion is ridiculous! It's all over the place and I LOVE it! Here are some of my favorite Rihanna moments from 2010.

Thrift Store Treasures




Yesterday was Wednesday, which means 50% at the Thrift store! I went in there with a mission: come out with sweaters. I was not sure how many, but I knew I had to buy at least one. Four sweaters and $8 later, I have more than what I thought I was going to find. I went home and washed them of course and now I am ready to wear my new thrift finds.

Future post of me wearing sweaters is coming soon...

Until then, do not be afraid of your local Thrift Store. When thrifting you always find so many cheap treasures!
