I'll be frank. I've never really liked Joes Jeans.  Phew, weight off my chest. I'm one of those girls that is CHOOSY about jeans.  I never try them on in the store. I wait until I get home and then I get all judgmental on myself. My 7 For all Mankind skinnies have seen better days, so I ventured to Macy's in pursuit of a new pair of  skinny jeans to tickle my fancy. I have walked past the else display many a time and admired the crisp washes, soft touch, updated silhouettes and patterns {but I never bit the bullet}. Game changer: I caved and bought a pair. At $68 and with a great return policy I didn't have too much to lose. Lemmmeeee tell you! These jeans are amazing.  I didn't buy the darkest pair, because I didn't love the stretch in the fabric  but went with a medium wash. One word: flattering. I've never loved how Joe's fit me, I've always believed they are meant for a more mature woman's body. And I might be 26, but these J...

This is one of those "woe is me" posts. The beauties over at  Fashionably Broke  posted these Valentino inspired stunners (they cost about $600 less than the real version). I will admit, I don't check ShoeDazzle on the regular, so when I saw these I zoomed over. Only to find SOLD OUT. This $39.95 style is swoon worthy. They look rich, sleek, sophisticated {without being stuffy}. I might just have to get the flats! IN LOVE.

Inspired by Inslee. 

When I found this review of the new NARS Skin care I had to share! It's been flying off the shelfs at the shop and I wanted you to have an expert review! Trust me: you will adore it!  Visit the amazing  Belle Belle Beauty for more amazing tips! "I am going to attempt to remain calm as I introduce you to the newly relaunched NARS Skin Care. But I apologize if I get a little overly excited. The brand known for beautiful color and elegant packaging has come through with some truly innovative, results-oriented, superb skin care. Off the bat, I am swooning over the  Purifying Foam Cleanser . Most of you know I love a good foaming face wash – check out some other favorites  here . The  Clé de Peau Beauté Gentle Cleansing Foam  has long been a holy grail products for me, and I am thrilled to report this NARS face wash is so utterly similar at less than half the cost. It is highly foaming with small botanical exfoliating spheres (which are not irritating)....

"A super blendable, mousse-like blush for airbrushed-looking cheeks! Our exclusive, lasting formula with ultra-fine pigments even minimizes the appearance of imperfections for a flawlessly radiant glow. " One of the best parts of working in the beauty industry is getting to play with products that have just hit the market. This Saturday we hosted a Rise + Shine makeup class at About Face and showcased the new limited edition whipped blush by Smashbox. It feels like velvet and goes on the skin like a dream. If you were scared of cream blush before, check those old memories at the door, because this sits on your skin so beautifully and blends like nothing I've ever used before. Above is the Berry Bliss and I'm also a huge fan of the second color, Dusty Rose. I wore the Dusty Rose this weekend and felt like I had a pretty glow to my skin. Below is a {grainy} photo, but my cheeks are nice and rosey! Pick up the product at  About Face  or e-mail me if you have any q...

I love Nina Garcia and Moda Operandi. I was, at first, baffled by this website. The team gives you trunk shows of designer wear straight from the runway. It curates the best of the best, meaning that my favorite runway shows, can come to life in my own closet {if only I had a disposable income...right?}. I love the Marc Jacobs dress above, so decadent! Check out the striped dress Nina picked here.  Those ODLR pumps leave me speechless. How amazing would they look with a tan? They are also AMAZING in nude !  image via
