Oh TAR TAR

Usually I am not into anything RAW, especially near my mouth. As they say there is an exception to every rule and I have found mine. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar brings new meaning to Tar Tar…well at least it does for me. Inline with the RAWness of Tar Tar, OCC's Lip Tar, like the rest of their products, is petroleum and silicone free. Unlike the Tar Tar that you see on fancy steak house menus, these babies are 100% Vegan and cruelty free. Whether I'm eating a steak or a vegan friendly meal, these lippies will be laced with TAR!

Haute

I don't know about you, but I do not remember Donna Karen New York being so HAUTE! I am not sure if my style sense was so immature that I couldn't recognize the AMAZINGNESS, or if it just wasn't there… however; as of these days Donna Karen is giving me life! I plan to wear this dress to my next black tie event… now someone invite me to one... at once!

Stick it to me!

WARNING: This is going to change your life! For as long as I can remember stickers have been amazing, however; I am no longer overjoyed by the thought of going to the Sanrio store to find Hello Kitty stickers and stationery. I am pleased to announce that I have renewed my sticker love in my adulthood thanks to the Nexcare stickers that deflate bumps overnight… that's right… stickers that erase acne while you sleep!

This is nothing new in the Asia and overseas markets, but now these babies are available in the states. I have an arsenal of blemish bombs in my emergency skin kit, but the thought of traveling with all of that is nowhere near realistic. These stickers are perfect for jet setters and skin junkies alike. Available on Drugstore.com you will find these stickers that are designed to reduce inflammation, speed healing, pull that gross stuff out of bumps and deflate them… all while you catch some Zs. Rarely would you catch me saying this, but in this case feel free to STICK IT TO ME! 

COCO can't go wrong

Neither can I with this as my summer fragrance! 

EYE see Color BLOCK

EYE see these on me for the summer. I am all about a color block, so these Fendi Color Block Sunnies seem to be seeing things my way!

SHEER femininity unveiled

The latest collections from Marchesa are nothing less than FIERCE! I am loving the combination of bold cuts and sexy lines with delicate fabrics and sheer femininity. This collection is giving me sexy and mysterious, both of which I aspire to be.

POPSUGAR Must Have MAY BOX Revealed!

Loving the May box and I'm happy that it's summer themed. It has yet to feel like spring in Milwaukee, so having a reminder that summer is on its way was a nice surprise. Here are the contents of the May box:

SMELL BENT ST. TROPEZ DISPENSER

ZING ANYTHING CITRUS ZINGER

KERRY CASSILL EYE MASK

OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS POOL BOY NAIL LACQUER

TONE IT UP DVD

HI I'M SKINNY STICKS

a true MANicure

I am all things FEMME, but the men need a little love too. Hammer & Nails are surely giving them just that! I can attest to driving around to the most random parts of any random town, trying to find a nail shop that my hubby isn't embarrassed to walk into. This is his usual check list: Is it packed? Is it popular? Will people see me in there? Are there TVs?
Now this wouldn't be a problem if I used the same criteria to plan out my nail excursions, but it's not! I want to go to the popular salon, that usually means they are good. I could care less if there is a TV present, I am a magazine kind of girl… AND I think the nail shop is the perfect meeting place… you can catch up on life and make several new friends during a good pedi.
Well finally… all of my MANicure problems have been solved… let me retract…. almost all.
Hammer & Nails is a man's version of a nail salon, and caters to them exclusively. From the decor on down to the list of services and walls lined with flat screen TVs… this is a MANicure done right. The next time you and your beaux are in LA, make sure to treat him to the MANicure of his life!

By Golly it's a Bangle

My love for a good bangle is by no means a secret. I am very pleased to see that Ferragamo is showing men a little wrist love with what I call a man bangle (smile). PSA: I am very aware that this is technically not a bangle, just a bracelet, but it's my blog and I'll call it what I want (smile again).

Salvatore-Ferragamo-Woven-Leather-Gancini-Bracelet $210

What's BLACK, BEIGE & RED all over?

One of the sexiest laser-cut booties that I have seen… that's what! The Mandolina Bootie from Christian Louboutin is putting a new spin on black and gold. This shoe has the classic sexy cut of the Kate pump, but the patten leather and metallic laser cut pattern on a bootie makes it fresh and quite hot. Im feeling like I need a little black and gold in my life… do you?

Christian Louboutin $1495

How do you wear a TIE and a CHAIN?

The Lanvin Curb Chain Tie Bar… thats how! 

Lanvin-Curb-Chain-Tie-Bar $175

I have DIED and went to Elie Saab HEAVEN!

Ellie Saab is giving me LIFE! I don't know if my day dreams of looking like Beyoncé walking the red carpet in Givenchy at the Met Gala have contributed to my fashion orgasm but who cares! Only two things need to happen for this dress to be mine. First, I need somewhere to wear it, which is not a problem because I would throw an event just to wear this. Secondly, I would need a miracle, which would allow me to buy this dress without my hubby killing me. That is all!

Elie Saab $9150

amaZING… Literally

My POPSUGAR Must Haves May box has arrived and it's filled with all kinds of amaZINGness. One of my favorite goodies within it is the Citrus Zinger. I know that I say this a lot, but it's true… THIS IS LIFE CHANGING!
This BPA free, 28 oz water bottle allows you to infuse any citrus fruit into your drink using the built-in reamer and storage lid. I have said before that I am not a fan of plain water… it doesn't taste like anything, so I tend to go for flavored water… which is amazing, BUT my Perrier habit is definitely reflected on my grocery bill. The Citrus Zinger allows me to create my own flavored water on the go. Of course you can infuse your water at home and just poor it in a water bottle, but let's face it… this is way more amaZING!

ONE piece away

ONE piece Away by nodaysjustweeks featuring a 6 shore road swimwear

I have accepted that the bikini is not my friend… yet… this girl still has hopes. But instead of feeling defeated in the 2 piece, I am going the sexy one piece route. Its like having another good friend… it will help you show off your good parts, while concealing your little works in progress. I am good with being ONE piece away from a two piece. Sometimes one is better than two! 

Bigger Isn't Always Better

There is a stigma that bigger is always better… well not in this case. The Jackery Mini Portable Charger is packing everything that the big boys are, but in a much smaller, and if I must say so myself, much cuter package. With all of the technology out, we should have no problem staying connected. With all of the chargers, charging stations, mofi's and so on… the "my phone is dying" convo should be obsolete, BUT… it's not.

I don't know everyone else's reason, but I am not a fan of those bulky extra battery cases, and I am not an "I carry an extra charger in my purse" kinda girl. So… when I'm out of juice… its just too bad for me… until now! I have finally found a portable charger that fits into my life… and my purse. This lightweight portable mini charger from Jackery gives me the full charge of those bulky portables, and extra battery cases, without the fuss and… well… ugliness that comes along with them. So bigger is always better… except for when it's not!

Jackery-Ultra $19.95

They NAIL'd it!

You guys know that I love a subscription. The only thing better than new goodies, is new goodies that are delivered to your door. Well here is another one, brought to you courtesy of Nail Art Society. Now I am all about all things LUXE, but I really hate paying for things that I can do myself. Every now and then, when I'm in new cities, I check out the hot spots and that may mean treating myself to a super DOPE mani, but I am going postal… let me introduce you to the mail order mani.

There are several nail subscriptions out there; some letting you rent polish for a month, some providing you with the latest polish sets and tools, and my all time favorite… the mani in a box. The Nail Art Society gives you everything you need to take your mani to the next level. They include tutorials, polish and design supplies for you to achieve the look. Plan for your next mani and instead of being the one that goes to it… let it come to you!

Nail Art Society $11.95+shipping 

What do NUMBERS Mean to you?

I am so unbelievably in love with the idea of anything nostalgic. The coordinates collection is giving me just that. These coordinates bracelets are giving me all things amazing! You can completely customize your bracelet with metals and gemstones, but most importantly your bracelet will have the exact coordinates of a special place to you. I am ordering mine, and it will have the coordinates of the best day of my life… the place that I became Mrs. Weeks. What do the numbers mean for you?

BFF's

I am so in love with this rose gold BFF charm bracelet from Jennifer Meyer. I am definitely getting one for me and the bestie.

Total Chick Magnet

These are too cute! I know that my hubby (who is already a chick magnet… at least to this chick) would never wear these cuff links BUT… if he would, I would absolutely get them for him.

Jan-Leslie-Chick-Magnet-Cuff-Links $395

Step your BUN up a notch!

Combining two of my favorite styles… braids and buns… this trend gets a check in the win column!

That moment when YSL spells YES!

I am feeling this feline friendly FABULOUSNESS from YSL is spelling nothing other than YES for me. I believe that I have found my summer sidekick… and it just so happens to be the cats meow!

Beauty with a BITE!

Loving the Cashmere lip creams from Bite Beauty. These lovely lippies are made with natural and organic ingredients and have high pigment colors that are sure to stand out. Each Bite lipstick is infused with age fighting antioxidant resveratrol, which is the equivalent to 5 glasses of wine. These lip creams are pure amazingness and should be described as nothing less than edgy, edible innovation for lips.
