Ooh La La!

mary — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:10:21 +0000

I’ve been a fan of Ooh La La for years now. Their store in Long Beach, NY carries great finds that you typically won’t find anywhere else.

I love shopping there because I feel like I’m buying something unique and special. They carry the type of things that people will stop you in the street and ask, “Where’d you get that?” I had the pleasure of visiting their Fire Island, NY location last weekend. It’s a much smaller store than the LB one but it’s filled with fabulous things nonetheless.

The next time you make a trip out to Fire Island in Ocean Beach, go to Ooh La La!

iPhone got a boo boo?

mary — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:22:01 +0000

Ladies and Gents, there are now band-aids for the new iPhone!
It obviously started out as a joke but now it’s they’re actually being sold to customers!
These band-aids are helping the reception problem and people are buying them like crazy.
Kudos to the creators of this “fix”.

Now my question to you is, are you buying a band-aid for your iPhone 4 or are you going to use the case from Mr. Jobs?

Fedoras

mary — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:57:03 +0000

They’re classic, vintage and they’re totally tres cute!
I know hats aren’t meant for everyone, but you should at least give Fedoras a try.
Fedoras can be worn by both men and women. Back in the day, they were only worn by the guys but now, times have changed and the ladies are rocking the fedoras.
I personally LOVE hats and need to try on a fedora soon. Not sure what I’m waiting for!

Here are some I found online that you might like!

Some Things That are HOT Now

mary — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 14:15:24 +0000

Have you ventured into the military style of clothing?
Well, it’s hot right now! I’m not all about trying every new trend but this is one that I might get into.

Check out the link below from www.elle.com for some photos of these military style looks such as dresses, jackets, and pants.

Other things that are tres hot now =)

blazers – where it to work and then out for drinks with friends! Just pair it with jeans and the right accessories and you’re set for a night out.

vests – again, something that you can transition from day to night!

jean leggings – my personal opinion – not for work but definitely fun to wear outside of work!

Two great summer scents

ncruz — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:12:36 +0000

Two great summer scents

Bright Crystal by Versace
Envy Me by Gucci

Unlike most girls I know, I’m not a “vanilla” fan. I prefer light scents that can be described as floral or clean. While I can appreciate more “woodsy” and “mature” scents, I really like perfumes that make me feel flirty, girly and sexy.
That being said, I have fallen head over heel for Bright Crystal by Versace and Envy Me by Gucci.
The last time I received as many compliments on how I smelled, was when I made Estee Lauders “Pleasures” my signature scent over 5 years ago.
The bottles for both these perfumes are “tres cute” as well. I get a sense of satisfaction seeing them on my dresser. Call me silly, but I appreciate creative and pretty packaging.
These two scents can be described as fresh, foral, and fun. Everything that summer should be!
The only “downer” to Envy Me is that it doesn’t linger as long as I’d like, but it would be perfect to wear on a date.
I would also warn you not to over do “Bright Crystal” It may be floral, but it is strong, and you don’t need more then two sprits to be noticed.
I highly encourage you head down to your local perfume counter and sample these two scents. I can guarantee you will fall in love with one, or both!

Maui Jim Sunglasses

mary — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:06:19 +0000

Yes, most of know the importance of protecting our skin from the sun, but when it comes to protecting our eyes, some people forget.
Wearing the right sunglasses is a key way to not only look good but also to helping you see better on a sunny day.
I don’t know about you, but driving without sunglasses is bad news for me. The sun can hurt your eyes, cause blind spots and could cause an accident if you’re not careful.

There are lots of great designers out there that make hot shades, but my fav (at the moment) is Maui Jim.
I bought a pair of his polarized sunglasses in the spring and it was one of the best purchases I’ve made.
Polarized lenses give the ultimate in sun protection for your eyes. Maui Jim was the first to do polarized lenses and they do it well.

I do own other designer sunglasses that I adore but my new favorite is Maui Jims.
Don’t worry Ray Ban and Gucci – I still love you too.

Makes My Eyes POP

Time to give props again to Lancome!
Last time I wrote about them, I was telling you about their Oscillation Mascara.
Today, it’s about the eyes again but this time it’s their eyeshadow!

This is my favorite eyeshadow compact at the moment!
It’s called Color Design and it’s being sold for a limited time.

These colors are great for the summer (and all year round too).
So what are you waiting for?
Go online or to your nearest Lancome counter and buy Lancome’s Color Design

Website Shout Out

mary — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:39:12 +0000

Haven’t done one of my website shout outs in a while.
I need to do this more regularly!

A big shout out goes out to… drum roll please.

http://www.groupon.com/r/uu4713593

Groupon.com hooks users up with really great deals.
I just bought a groupon (coupon) and saved lots of money!
It gets better – if you refer people and they buy a groupon, groupon will give you $10.
What goes around comes around I guess.

Alex and Ani

mary — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 13:37:44 +0000

I’m loving Alex and Ani bracelets!
They’re eco-friendly and super stylish. I have a small wrist and sometimes it’s hard to find a bracelet that fits right – NOT a problem with Alex and Ani’s bracelets! You can adjust the size so that it can fit on you. – - – PERFECT

I started my collection with 4 bracelets and plan on building to it. I went with a mother of pearl bracelet with 3 variations of russian gold bracelets. What’s cool is that you can buy a set of bracelets or you can buy individual bracelets and create your own custom set.

Their website is great too because you can design your set right online!
