Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15
2012-01-06 18:58:00
The winter months are doing damage to my lips again. Seems that it doesn’t matter how moisturizing my lip gloss or balm is, my lips get dry and chap at the end of day. The only way to combat is to layer lip treatment (one must have SPF) under your regular lip gloss or lipstick. ...

Pretty flats
2009-09-23 17:45:00
When fall rolls around and as I pack away all my summer sandals, I always like to update my flat collection. Especially this year I’ve been living in flats. I’m looking for rich colors, soft materials, eye-catching embellishments. Jeffrey Campbell Suede Zipper Ruffle Ballet Flats $115. I’m really loving the ruffle trend on shoes this year.

Marc Jacobs’ Lola
2009-09-23 02:49:00
Lola Marc Jacobs Eau de Parfum $65 I’m not a big perfume wearer, and I’m certainly no perfume connoisseur. I just let my nose decide if I like it or not without consciously deciphering the layers of notes. I really liked Marc Jacobs’ Daisy, I’m not surprised that I also love Lola. The gorgeous bottle is what attracted me first. I adore the bouquet-like cap. This bottle would make a gorgeous accessory on you vanity table. So of course I couldn’t resist giving it a sniff. The mix of floral scents was absolutely delightful and intoxicating. Sephora describes it better than I would. “Lola is Daisy’s older sister. This warm floral bouquet conveys the free spirit of today’s sexy, modern girl – she is playful, cool, and flirtatious. The long-lasting, day-and-night scent opens with pink peppercorn, pear, and ruby red grapefruit. Blooming midnotes of rose, fuschia peony, and geranium make a feminine statement. Layers of vanilla, ...
