Target is Beamon’ with Michelle Obama Style Jewelry

February 25th, 2009 · 1 Comment

I had no idea colorful, costume-style jewelry could look so gorgeous. Who am I kidding, yes I do. I used to covet the rhinestone prop jewelry in drama class that we had to wear while doing our choreographed renditions of “America” from West Side Story.
But really, this jewelry that Erickson Beamon just launched at Target [...]

Get Freida Pinto’s Oscar Dress for $78.90 (or one just like it kinda)

February 24th, 2009 · 1 Comment

I absolutely LOVED Freida Pinto’s dress by John Galliano at the Oscars on Sunday. And it’s not just because I’m Indian, I promise. The royal blue color was stunning on her and the lace detail so dainty and delicate. It had just a subtle hint of Indian influence to it, it seemed, with the glittery [...]

SCRUB-A-DUB-DUB

February 20th, 2009 · No Comments

This is the time of year when my sallow-looking skin is feeling flaky and dry no matter how much moisturizer I slather on. I’m a big believer in body scrubs. Here’s why: Once I literally scrub off the dry, dull layer, a fresher one reveals itself and my moisturizer penetrates better than ever, because that dead, [...]

Get Fashion Week Chic for Under $100

February 19th, 2009 · No Comments

I love the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and every year I covet all the fabulous styles. This year, however, my pocketbook isn’t as big as my appetite for fashion. Those amazing looks can be so price-ey! So instead of blowing my rent money on the latest fashionista-wear, I’ve found a way to match those same [...]

Island Dreams, Part II

February 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Right now, there’s snow, ice and blustery winds outside my window. The temperature is reading 23 degrees. Did I mention how much I despise winter? You get the picture. Though I’m staying put this year (February is shaping up to be the cruelest month for sure), it doesn’t mean I can’t escape. I click on the [...]

May Your Love Last Long…Like a Roll of Toilet Paper

February 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Seriously, someone actually wrote that in my high school yearbook. Well, they wrote, “May your summer be long and useful, like a roll of toilet paper.” I guess that’s a bit different.
So I’m an open-minded person, but I really can’t imagine why anyone would buy a roll of Valentine’s Toilet Paper. I mean, it’s cute [...]
