Dermalogica Giveaway

I'm as frugal as they come, but I'm always willing to splurge on my skin.  At the top of my list?  Dermalogica skin care.   If you use the brand, you're probably already hooked and if you haven't, then it's never too late to start.  Their products are simple, effective and hype-free and though they cost more than your average drugstore brand, they're worth every penny.  

Today's giveaway is a Dermalogica Skin Kit containing a full regimen of what your body needs most for swimsuit season.   To win this sweet prize, leave a comment below telling me the best beauty secret you've ever learned.  Contest ends at noon tomorrow.  Good luck all and thanks to Faulhaber PR for this lovely prize! x

Winners Gift Card Giveaway

I've always been obsessed with Winners;  There's just something about the thrill of the hunt that makes every score so much more satisfying. In that great hall of happiness, I've found every brand from Bliss body lotion to Burberry, from Furla to Fendi.  I go there regularly for everything from long, louche sweaters, to perfect b-day gifts, to unique statement necklaces and almost always, someone stops me to ask where I got it.  When they do, I can't help myself - I always blurt out, "Winners!  $19!"  

I've got a $50 Winners Gift Card for one lucky winner.  To get it, leave a comment below telling me the best thing you've ever found while scouring the racks at Winners.  Contest closes 5 pm tomorrow.  xo

Imitating Annabelle Fleur

The Inspiration: Annabelle Fleur of Viva Luxury (is that her real name?) Love how she mixed bright red denim with a breton striped shirt.  Her little touch of leopard looks cute, not cougarific.

The Pose:  Hand on wall (this felt really, really awkward to me...I don't generally lean on walls, unless I've had one of those nights...), legs crossed (makes legs look longer, thinner, apparently), a look of complete boredom (I looked pretty bored last time so thought I'd smile this one out).  Immediately after taking this pic, I was all set to...um, go back inside, change into something I could get dirty and plant flowers with my kids all day.  At least I looked good at breakfast :) 

The Must-Have Spring Item:  The Bright Jean

The Find:  JACOB's Coloured Denim Jeans ($39.90) 

The Verdict:  I've worn them, I've washed them and I love them.  They're stretchy, slim and a great vibrant shade of red, and don't stretch out like so many of the other inexpensive bright jeans I've sampled.  Since they're red, I'll be able to wear them all year long.  Such a score for under $40!
