I spoke about the trend of matching makeup to clothes, now matching nail polish to your shoes is also becoming popular. When I was in high school we changed our polish every night to match our outfits, but never a pedicure! Seems a little time consuming, but beautiful non the less.

Do you do this, I may start now … cause I’m really liking it!

Happy Saturday and I hope your days are more exciting than ever right now. I have a fun new contest next week, can’t wait to share it with you!

Thanks for reading and commenting….you guys are the best!  XoX

For beauty and design I recommend all of them, but my favorite and most helpful book is Nina’s.

 The One Hundred, written by Nina Garcia, fashion director at Elle magazine,  is designed to help women build a classic wardrobe and avoid being caught up in fads.  It contains the 100 items that Nina believes will never go out of style. Not only does she list these items but explains why each item has stood the test of time., looking at the history behind such items as the white shirt, the gold link watch, and a pair of classic black slacks.

Decorating never ends with the furniture, it’s the little things in life that make a difference!

My two favorite purchases this week happen to be from my favorite haunt, White House Black Market.  This tier sweater was just so soft and feminine, and with the draping, it made a statement. SOLD … The wedges were a natural go to, and the shorts have just enough length to sit with comfort.



I also ordered this Maxi Skirt, it’s perfect for Arizona weather. A white silk top, paired with my wedges above and I’ll have another one of my favorite color schemes to wear, white and tan. Adore the crisp and clean lines of the two,  pop on my lavender Minkoff bag, and I’ll be set for the day!

It’s giveaway time!

Two $25.00  gift certificate from FROWNIES

I was estactic when I first found these, because I am one of those rare people who  is allergic to Botox.  I tried it about 10 years ago, and became severely ill.

So you can imagine when I saw a natural way, I knew I had to try them.

You can postpone the signs of aging… NATURALLY

FROWNIES beauty treatments include products that reduce wrinkles while you sleep and natural biologically active antioxidant treatments for the skin. The right antioxidants for the skin and wrinkle treatment products can help you reduce wrinkles and preserve your beauty.

Raquel Welch, a beautiful 69 year old Hollywood star, was interviewed by Valerie Bertinelli on the Joy Behar show. Raquel Welch said that she uses Frownies to keep the elevens between the eyes under control. What other stars use Frownies and we just don’t know? They were after all called “Hollywood’s Beauty Secret”.

One more star lets the secret out. Today we all assume they use Botox if there are no lines but many women won’t touch it and others just have not learned about Frownies.

Joy Behar Show-March 31, 2010

The View is an American talk show broadcast on American Broadcasting Company as part of ABC Daytime. The View created by Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie, features a panel of women as co-hosts. Frownies were seen on the View when Eve Pearl, View Crew Makeup Artist and make-up artist for Sex In the City brought Frownies anti-aging patch on the show. Eve said: ” Frownies are Hollywood’s biggest secret. It’s kind of like the natural Botox…You wet it, use the adhesive, and you stick it on those little areas where you have frowns…And basically when you sleep with this, it rejuvenates the muscles in your skin, and it gets rid of those lines…You do it while you’re vacuuming, when you’re sleeping…They do work, they really work.” -Eve Pearl, View Crew Makeup Artist. – The View on ABC, October 22, 2004
