Hey!

We are huge travelers-we’ll go anywhere: Instyle, Montauk, Italy, The Big Apple….you name it, we’ve went there! And we pick up VERYYYY cute clothes. but whether your shopping in NYC, on a gondola, or tanning on the Islands of the Caribbean, we have a perfect outfit.

NYC-strolling the streets:

Update: Try a super cute jean jacket like this H&M one.

Cheap: Less is more! Wear a black tank and an adorable scarf- and you’ll be the ‘apple’ of every ones eye!

Expensive: We love two different trends in one- like this Urban Outfitters shirt thats sheer and studded.

Italy-can you say Milan Fashion Week?

Update: On all the runways, nail designs are amazing! Paint yours with your favorite color, let it dry, then stencil something cool over it. We like using reinforcements, then using a nail pen to draw designs

Cheap: When your in a city as beautiful as Italy, you’ll want to see everything! Wear a cute headband and nothing-even your hair- will be in your way!

Expensive: When walking the busy streets of Venice, the last thing you’ll need is a foot cramp. Prevent them in these striped flats!

Coconuts Regatta Flat

Fiji-Soaking up the sun…

Update: To get an all natural tattoo, cut a paper shape and stick it anywhere. Tan, then take it off, and you’ll have a sun tatoo!

Cheap: No need to shade your eyes when your wearing a floppy hat like this one from J.Crew! As a bonus, its coral and cute, so it’ll bring out your tan.

Summer straw hat

Expensive: Before you swim, you’ll need a cute cover-up. Armani has a stunning one that is “perfect for layering.”

Beach Cover Up

Costa Rica-Zip line, anyone?

Update: Always bring your cutest umbrella everywhere! Even when you’re not in a tropical forest, it could come in handy.

Cheap: Fit into the jungle with this exotic green bracelet.

Kenneth Cole New York Bracelet, Lime Green And Brown Seed Bead Multi Row Stretch Bracelet

Expensive: When the rain doesn’t go away, be dry in style with this chic raincoat.

Hey,

I found this new soap… and I am in search of a body lotion version of it ;) , there is! Just wanted to share 5 things about it that make it “WOW” ing.

1. Smell- I’m in the love, not as strong as perfume but not a hidden scent it’s amazing! I even used it as an air freshener for my room, now when i walk in it’s orchids and jojoba butter smelling!

2. In General Shape- It’s a nice rectangular roundish shape and can easily fit into a travel soap container.

3. More Detailed Shape- After the smell, the details on it are my favorite. The bar of soap has a built in “massage”! There are little ball shaped things (that are still soap) attached to one side of the soap.

4. Replacements- Because soap can be a pain to put on and take longer, you can not the expierencance of the massage and wash with the body lotion version of it.

5. Price-It’s not expensive! ($3 for pack of 4 bars).

Anyway, try it out!

Smelling luscious….

Uh-Ohs: Very popular, long lines.

A sample: X Marks The Spot Top - Mint

Free People:

Comments: This store has a mix of everything- so sugar/spice. When we entered the ultra-cool store, complete with awesome wall designs, amazing salespeople, and-yes-free lemonade, it was love at first site.

Hearts: Must we say just one? The clothes are adorably boho and the service is incredible. We could go on and on and on,

Uh-Ohs: A teeny bit more expensive-but so worth it!

A sample:  Mr Golden Sun Tank

Olive and Bettes:

Comments: Is it the bright pink awning or the colorful clothing that makes us swoon? We don’t know, but we definitely do know that these clothes are to DIE for.

Fashion Films

Hey,

Situation: It’s rainy and you have NOTHING to do….plus, you can’t show off the chic new outfit you just put together

Solution: Watch a fashion film.

Devils Wears Prada- Starring Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci etc.Go to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458352/ for trailers,clips,characters and more.

Personally, we LOVE this movie, the fashion, the plot, it’s a must-see. Basically it’s about a    girl (Hathaway) in NYC who’s wants to be an editor. When no jobs come up,  except a job as a 2nd assistant at RUNWAY fashion magazine she takes it knowing NOTHING about fashion or the company. She then suffers from the frustration of Miranda Priestley, the head of RUNWAY (Streep) and faces multipy crazy situations… You have to see the rest!

Ofcourse, being a fashion movie it shows some great outfits, SCORE.

I LOVE this look. Hair pulled into a “princess” do, gloves,necklace and bright red lipstick. Oh La La.

Black dress and high boots plus big chain necklace equals like!

Can I take your coat and hat? Nooo thank you, there so chic!

The green pea coat adds color while the white gloves and cool print shout: bold!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1093908/

 

 

 

Confessions of a Shopaholic- Starring Isa Fisher, Hugh Dancy etc. Other cool flick. his ones more about a girl who just can’t stop pulling out her credit card to buy the luxury of clothes…she soons land broke, without a job, and a great love…watch and see what happens!

One feature of the movie is this green scarf that symbolizes the success that cultivates during the movie.

Her showing it off

“The Green Scarf” Get one like it 

More movies coming soon…
