500 Days Till Summer....

It's been awhile, I apologize!! But something about this dreary weather during spring break is making me list a few Summer items i've been eyeing. It's the middle of March, in Southern New Mexico and it's SNOWING. Yes, you read right, SNOWING. Not sticking or anything but gosh it is cold out! And I thought it would be safe to put away my sweaters for the season, seeing how as of five days ago it was short wearing weather. I can't wait for summer to get here.

But here are my new favorite things and trends for right now and for SUMMER 2012!!

1. LACE. I cannot get enough of it. Especially ivory lace. I want the dresses i want the shirts I want it on my bed duvet and bags and jewelry. Layer me in lace. Mostly i've been on the look out for a short white ivory lace dress with long or quarter sleeves. Preferably a low back line. If you see one, let me know!! But it's very popular on the runway.


2. Oversized Cat-Eye Sunnies. I've been dying for a pair ever since the 2nd season of Kourt and Khlo take Miami. Kourtney Kardashian sports them well, let me tell you! I feel like we share a similar face frame and my face could def use a pair! I've recently spotted a white pair of Vogue Eyewear one's on sale that I may have to snag. I also (I know it's genius!) thought of looking at the KardashianKollection at Sears to see if they had made any for their line and, WHADDOYAKNOW?! They did. 


3. Leather Leggings. Another thing i've been on the hunt for and mildly obsessed with. I found a pair of faux ones from the Guess outlet nearest to me for $15, so I couldn't pass that up but i'm hoping to find a pair more long lasting. My favorite that i've seen so far can be spotted at www.shopbop.com and maybe a pair at Urban Outfitter's. Either way they would look super casual on a chill day with an oversized t-shirt or light weight sweater. Rihanna Casual, that is. 



4. Peplum Dresses, another summer trend i'm into and have been into wether it's the style or not. It suits my body type, having an almost boyish figure giving me the appearance of a slight womanly silhouette. This is the new maxi dress, the new belted oversized denim button up dress! Flattering on most body types. Dress it up or down, still fab!

  


5. And just a cool new line of products I spotted during my last visit to the salon........drum roll please..........PINK, BEDAZZLED hair line stuff. Conditioner, shampoo, volume spray and hair spray. What more could you ask for. Well done, to the marketing team- You sold me! This stuff actually work's really well if you're into volume and teasing your hair like I am! It was sold to salons but recently stopped because it's now available at Marshall's and TJMAXX for cheaper! Go out and get some, girl!

:D

Happy summer shopping!

life's little luxuries.....

Hello, lovers!

Okay, so i'm changing this blog up a bit, just a bit. I always find these great things and deals wether it be a new store discovery or an online site that has great designer stuff for the best prices my little green eyes have ever seen! Or even just a cool new product. I'm always squealing, sealing my lips because I don't want anyone else to copy or know my secrets. Well, readers, my Snob by M.A.C colored lips are no longer sealed! I'm spilling my secrets and finds and all of the good stuff along the way! Look out for some juicy fashion gossip to follow!

I'm going to start with my reason to live as of late..... www.ruelala.com it's a website much like giltgroupe or looksy, claims to have designer stuff (new stuff every day/week/etc.) that is discounted at great prices and you have to be invited to buy. THIS one is WORTH it. Trust. They have new designer boutiques every day and also a "daily fix" which is one product offered daily at an extremely discounted price. But there is limited quantity and is usually sold out by the end of the day. I've seen designers at great, unbelievable prices on here such as Badgley Mischka, Marc Jacobs, Juicy couture, Versace, Louis Vuitton, and French Connection just to name a few. The deal is with shipping you pay $9.00 once, then get free shipping for 30 days. Pretty good deal, right?
For example this is one of the many things I have recently purchases from this website :

Badgley Mischka white leather bow cuff watch with rose gold and mother of pearl. How much do you think this costs? $70, yes you heard right- Seventy dollars. Amazing. I had been looking into investing in a new watch like a wrap one from shopbop.com or a designer oversized men's watch, but this is just fantastic! I would definitely stand out with this watch while still trendsetting/being stylish. And so would you! Go check out Badley Mischka's collection today on ruelala.com comment below with your email if you want me to send you an invitation to the website!

Another great find if you are into Gossip Girl like I obviously, obsessively am. I am always looking for cute Blair Waldorf worthy headbands and can't seem to find too many that would grace my head as well as a crown would. Look no further for the perfect princess preppy head band worthy of Blair Waldorf herself. I came across this Juicy Couture find this morning...

School girl colors, ribbon-like, and a brooch reading "highness". If that's not Upper East Side enough for you, I don't know what is. $35.00 at Juicy. 

Daily Finds! 

More coming soon!
