Mrs. Carter at H&M

So time is winding down and Mrs. Beyonce Carter's swimwear line for H&M collaboration is rapidly approaching. The collection is highly anticipated and when I tell you the pieces are pretty intense....take a look- see!


I absolutely love this high-waist caftan look; a definite must have.

The commercial is 1:21 of sheer greatness! And the song is on repeat.

Fashion's Foundation

Some years ago my cousin introduced me to this amazing liquid foundation by Maybelline. Through the process of moving and traveling the states, I eventually used it up, and for some reason, couldn't find it anywhere. Recently, going through my (still packed) boxes, I discovered I kept the bottle. I am so excited because now that it's back in my life, I will use it religiously lol. Enough with the back story, here is the incredible product that has me jumping for joy and wanting to spread the news!

















(Honey Beige and Caramel shown above)

The cool thing about this foundation is that it is very similar to (and cheaper than) the 'Fit Me' foundation with shades starting from Vanilla to Caramel. I was originally going to buy two of the same, but both of these colors are really close to my complexion, so I'll test them out and keep you posted!

H&M Look Book 2013

Of course you know I am completely obsessed with H&M. Not only because I work there, but because it is the #1 fashion retailer in the world. We offer fashion and quality at the best price and from the looks of this look book, along with the prices....amaze! These outfits are styled to the max and I love them all.

For this Spring, it's all about floral (duh!) and pastel prints. I've definitely gotten more comfortable with mixing prints than before. I've learned that you should have fun with fashion and styling and have it be an experiment. So this Spring and Summer, get into your closets and express yourselves fashionistas!

Here are some of my favorite looks:






I love how the looks are monochrome but have that simple added chicness.

Memories of New York...

I came upon the pics taken from our FNO trip and remembered what a great and beautiful experience it was. My Mom, friend and co-blogger RebelRane and I had the best time of our lives and I hope we can all make this an annual thing. From bright lights, celebrity sightings and even running into our old friend walking the streets of NY, the night was never-ending with fun and surprises!


 
We had just arrived at our hotel and the view was amazing.

We did a little (okay a LOT lol) sightseeing

The scarf continues as a 'hot' item for fall

We want one for every coat, every look; justifying we can never own too many.

This season MARC by MARC JACOBS has a fabulous selection of the trendy squares, offering feminine but bold prints and lengths, like the super chic polka dot shown here:



FYI: This long style provides options for altering your look each time you wear. Try a few of these knotted wonders on for size:

Giving thanks...

Yes, the official day for giving thanks is officially one week away.

Send your holiday cards for those too far away for visiting.

And if you will be partaking in someone else's feast, substitute bringing your 'famous cobbler' with a special gift for the host. Everyone loves the scents of cranberry, pies, stuffings and such, but when the plates are cleared away and the guests have dispersed, they're left with the lingering but fading aromas- that citrus scented dish soap isn't going to do the trick.

May I suggest a home fragrance, candle?

Yankee makes some yummy scents. Lemon lavender could be perfect for a calming after dinner atmosphere.
It's an extension of your inner fashionista goodness.



*side scoop* Ulta is currently offering a free gift with $30 fragrance purchases. Dig in!
