Filed Under Blog, Fashion, Holidays, Makeup, Seasonal | Leave a Comment

Happy Memorial Day! In honor of the first holiday of summer I offer you my red, white, and blue beauty finds to start the season off right! To southern girls everywhere you can now wear white. To those of you who didn’t know it’s against the rules to wear white before memorial day, use this as an excuse to celebrate this summer tradition with us. Have fun today and don’t forget the sunscreen!

Red is for red lips, one of the hottest trends going right now. You’ve seen it at the Oscars, Golden Globes, and all last week Cannes, get this gorgeous look yourself and start the summer off right! Chanel’s Rouge Allure is the perfect way to create your perfect red lip. Their lipsticks are so creamy and treat your lips so well that they will remain a favorite of mine for all time.

White is for white ballet flats! Ballet flats are the hottest thing going right now, and if you don’t already own a pair then take advantage of the Memorial Day sales and go buy a pair today! I’m normally not a J Crew kind of girl, however they do have a great selection of ballet flats right now.

Blue is for cobalt blue, one of the hottest colors for Spring and going strong into summer. Solid or in the season’s graphic prints, it doesn’t matter as long as your closet has this color peeping out somewhere. Want to add just a splash? Grab a graphic print cobalt blue scarf, tie it around your head, slip on your sunglasses and drive away Audrey Hepburn style! This look works really well with the seasons white bangle earrings or bracelets.

Christmas Treats

Filed Under Blog, Holidays | Leave a Comment

Every year at Christmas companies release special items only available during the holiday season. These are a few of my favorites. Snatch these yummy treats up quickly because they are here one day and gone the next, not to return ‘til Noel of next year.

Bath & Body Works Twisted Peppermint Three in One Shower Gel

Surround yourself with this classic Christmas scent every morning or put it in your bath to rejuvenate in the evening. Peppermint is wonderful as it can both invigorate and relax you. What more could you ask for, a candy cane in a bottle!

Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark

This is the best peppermint bark hands down. Every Christmas season I rush to Williams Sonoma to stock up on this delicious treat. If you have not tried this particular brand of peppermint bark I urge you to try it. If you have never tried peppermint bark at all, don’t bother with other brands, buy this one. As you take a bite, let the refreshing mint flavor melt with the soft milk chocolate into a seductive treat in your mouth. Hooked are you?

Victoria’s Secret Cranberry Crush Lotion

New this year this is a delightful treat for both your nose and your skin. It’s scent reminds me of warm cranberry bread fresh out of the oven and the hint of tangelo gives it a delightful kick. Sure to make your Christmas morning merry.

Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bar

Every year Starbucks brings out it’s holiday treats right around thanksgiving and year after year I scramble for the Cranberry Bliss Bars. The blond brownie with white chocolate chips, cream cheese icing and cranberry fruit pieces sprinkled on top looks like Christmas should look. Pure white with a dash of red, like berries freshly fallen in the snow. My favorite thing about these bars is the way they look on a silver tray at a Christmas party, cheery, bright and sinfully delicious.

Strauss Family Creamery Organic Cream on Top Eggnog

This is the eggnog from the people that make milk with the cream on top. It’s creamy, thick and sinful. If you are going to bother to have eggnog, tossing all caloric concerns to the wind for that one glass, have this one. And don’t forget to sprinkle the fresh nutmeg on top!

Iced Gingerbread Cliff Bar

For the health nut in you this bar is delicious. I was a little skeptical when I first saw a Christmas release Cliff Bar, but this bar is truly good. It has that fresh gingerbread taste that reminds me of making gingerbread houses as a little girl.

Illumination’s Mulled Wine Candle

What are the holidays without mulled wine? This candle is so scrumptious that it will even scent a room if the jar is left open and unlit. Picture it, the Christmas tree, all the presents, the garland and the room filled with the scent of cinnamon and oranges mulling in wine. What could be more inviting to come home to?
