The Classic Dress Pant

The classic dress pant. Yay! We can't wear our sweats EVERY day, no matter how cold it is outside. Sometimes a girl just has to put her big girl pants and act like a woman! What better way to act the part than to suit up and show up in these beautiful black dress pants made by Joe's Jeans?

Okay, so confession time. These are not *true* dress pants (I know you fabulous ladies took one look and knew that). ;) The reason I picked these is because in my neck of the woods, California, a black denim, if it's a good quality can be considered "dress". Also, I don't work in an office where a formal dress code has to be considered, so there's that.

What I love about these particular jeans is, first and foremost, they are stretch denim. Waaaay more comfortable than regular denim pants. Secondly, for my body type, the pockets sit slightly lower, giving my bum a more rounded appearance. Woo hoo! Joe's jeans are also a good quality pant. I have some that have taken a beating and they still look as fresh as the day I bought 'em. It's all about the quality!

Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Batignolles Verticle

Guess who loves Louis Vuitton? I do! That's me last year after I bought a Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Batignolles Verticle. Whew..that's a mouth full! It's my favorite bag by a long stretch. Not to diminish my love for the little Vive Cite PM that I'm wearing. LOVE that little bad with the matching wallet. The thing about Louis Vuitton is the unparalleled quality. Louis Vuitton also has a long history of beautiful design and a reputation to match. In my humble opinion, there's nothing finer than an LV bag.

Some girls like to spend $50 per bag and they must have 30 bags...at least! For that much cash, I'd rather have one REALLY special bag that could be worn with ANYTHING than a bunch of cheap bags. I think the bag a woman chooses to carry says a lot about her. Don't you? So why not go for something that makes you feel like the special person you are? Go for it!

Crisscross Jimmy Choo Sandals

You can never go wrong buying quality. It's been my experience that when I buy quality, I actually spend *less* in the long run. Sounds good right? Well that's my justification for these amazing Jimmy Choo heels. Aren't they absolutely gorgeous?!

I'm seriously thinking of wearing these for Vanentine's Day...that and nothing else. That way my husband will be happy and I will be happy. ;)

OPI Soft and Thin Nail Polish

For years I had acrylic nails and I loved them. Then I became a mother and decided it was too time consuming and expensive. The problem is, my nails tend to be thin and would often split.

So far the ONLY thing that has kept my nails long and hard is this OPI Soft & Thin. This one little bottle would last me a few months, saving me a ton of money and time. What more could you want? You know what else is great? The fact that this goes on clear. No need to put it on perfectly! Goes down great as a base coat too. Enjoy!

Wicked Temptations Black Corset

Valentine's Day is coming up...and I know who's going to be happy. ;)

Wicked Temptations has a HUGE selection of lingerie, clothes, shoes and a few extra naughty things to spice up your holiday. The range of styles are from tame to totally thrilling. The prices are great and so is the customer service. Yay Valentines Day!

Pluey Rainboots

It's January and I'm freezing! It's been so wet and stormy here, but these darling Pluey Rainboots are just the thing to add a little charm to a dreary day.

These rainboots are super cute! It has been so rainy lately, duh it's winter. But here in California, it's not that common. When it does rain, I hate to feel frumpy. What better to feel so much cuter than a great pair of comfortable, but darling rain boots like these made by Pluey! I'm a dog lover and I have a black wool pea coat, so I nominate these doggie Pluey's as the favorite. Enjoy!

Sense Skin Care by Usana

About two years ago, my friend and neighbor Monica Ulrich invited me to a girl's facial party. What fun! This is where I first tried the Sense Skin Care line by Usana. All of the Sense products contain all natural ingredients and are free of artificial preservatives. They even come in specially designed containers that prevent bacterial contamination.

The 3-step system is so good, even my husband uses it. It smells soooo good. It reminds me of when I walk into a really fancy spa, like Burke Williams and I'm overcome by the heavenly smells of eucalyptus, mint and citrus.

Anyway, I digress...the point is this stuff makes my skin feel so soft and fresh. Products can be ordered regularly through the Monica's website, and they're delivered directly to your home. Sometimes it's just such a pleasure to skip the mall for beauty products!

no!no! Hair Removal System

You know, for a long time, I've been unsatisfied with the current methods of hair removal. Razors don't shave close enough and have to be used daily. Yuck. It's a short term solution...and who wants to do it every day?!

The other option? Waxing. Waxing can be done at home and it lasts longer but it's such a pain. Literally. I give it a double yuck..one yuck for the pain and one for the gross mess. A girlfriend of mine goes to a salon for the "brazilion wax". It's expensive not to mention undignified. The first time I heard of it, I thought, "They do what?! To my where?!" Um, no thank you. I'll pass on that pain and embarrassment. Shoot, I'm not even that modest, but I figured there had to be a better way, and here it is!
The no!no! hair removal system uses exciting new technology called Thermicon™ which transfers a pulse of heat to the hair follicle, destroying it. It's safe, painless and over time, it will eliminate the need for regular hair removal. There are no in-grown hairs or pimples like with waxing. Nice! Keep in mind, that like any hair removal system, it takes time and dedication to achieve the desired results. Over time, you will have clean, smooth, stubble free skin. Yes!

Gucci Handbag

Gucci Handbags for 33% off!

Normally, I'm a loyal to Louis Vuitton to a fault, but I can't resist the look of this Gucci Handbag!
This stylish little bag is perfect with the basic black trench coat. Made from the highest quality canvas & leather Gucci is famous for, you know this classic bag will last forever. It has a zipper pocket inside and a cell phone pocket. Perfect! And can you believe it's on SALE?! It's a Gucci for heaven's sake!

Don't you think this would go perfect with those Steve Madden "Brytni" shoes? Oooooo...too cute!

Roberto Cavalli

Aren't these amazing? Roberto Cavalli is an amazing designer. If you've never been in one of his boutiques, I recommend the "experience". But dress up. You don't want to feel like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman...you know what I'm talkin about. All I can afford to do is window shop there, but a girl can dream!

Here is an elegant example of Roberto Cavalli design. These glasses are simple, yet chic...Risque Chic if I do say so myself.

Tiffany & Co

Okay, here's an actual picture of me wearing the Tiffany & Co "Return to Tiffany's" necklace (and Lipsense Lip Colour, and Mac Lashes).

This was a gift for Christmas last year, and I have found that I go for this necklace (and bracelet) time and time again. Paired with diamond stud earrings, it looks simple and classic. It also looks good with any color I have on...black, grey, pink...you name it, it looks fabulous. And even better, I FEEL fabulous!

Thank you my darling Husband! XOXO

Juicy Couture Sunglasses

Who hasn't woken up late "the next morning" and needed a pair of fabulous sunglasses? Shoot, I don't even drink, but after a long night of dancing, laughing and general mayhem, sunglasses are a MUST!

Now, I have to confess, I was a fan of bargin sunglasses, but when I got these Juicy Sunglasses to match my Juicy Couture sweats, I felt like a true Hollywood starlet (minus the paparazzi). Aren't they the cutest?!

Glamour Hair Extensions

Can I just say, I'm so grateful to have been born in this country and in this day and age. Look at the fun girly girl stuff we get to play with! Glamour Hair Extensions

These super fun extensions come in synthetic and human hair. I like the Pop Hair Extensions because they are human hair, they clip on and you can curl or flat iron them. Perfect!

ghd professional

This is the "ghd professional" flatiron/curling iron. On an overnight trip, it's great to have a compact tool that will both straighten and curl. I mean, why pack both? It leaves my hair really smooth but with that chunky curl that you see everywhere.

You can find it at Sephora. Get one so you can feel like a hot babe. ;)

Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvase Nice Beauty Case

Ah, nothing finer than LV on a trip...or at home! This little case makes my mouth water. It's called the Canvase Nice Beauty Case. I have a couple LV bags and I'm wishing for this little beauty.

I imagine myself on an over nighter to San Francisco, trotting into a nice hotel with my LV bag and this uber fabulous make up case. Come on lottery!

Foot Pads

When you love to wear heels as much as I do, and you love to dance like I do, foot pads are must! I always see women with their heels in their hands and the end of the night. Eww...ever walk barefoot in San Francisco? Not pretty, but I've done it because I literally could not take one more step. There is a solution...foot pads!

There are a ton of these out there, but the "FootSmart Gel Forefoot Pads" are really the best. And they're only $8.99!
