I don't know if any of you girls watch the Real Housewives of Orange County (the 5th season premiered last night on BRAVO), but it's definitely one of my guilty pleasures!While watching, something I could not help but notice was Gretchen's and Tamra's hair (and in the previews, the new housewife, Alexis, seems to have good hair as well). I've seen ...
The Carrie Belt
The Carrie belt. Most fashionistas know what I am talking about before even needing to see a photo. Yes, it is the ever so sought-after Patricia Field belt that Carrie wore with numerous outfits in "The Sex and the City Movie" (which came out on my birthday, by the way!) I have always coveted this rocker-esque belt, but balked at its $150 price ...

We are both Canadian girly-girls with a shopping problem and a love for all things girly, ruffly and pretty (and PINK!).We exchanged business cards at the book signing, emailed each other ...
Product Review: Essie Mint Candy Apple & Jewelry Box Organization
I have been kind of post-crazy lately, I know! I wanted to quickly review Essie's highly-anticipated polish "Mint Candy Apple."Since I was unable to score a bottle of Chanel's "Jade" polish (and by unable, I mean unwilling to spend more than the retail price for it), "Mint Candy Apple" felt like a wonderful solution for my mint-green polish ...
A Halloween Night’s Makeup
As I mentioned in my last post, I totally wasn't into Halloween this year. We ended up watching a scary movie while eating pizza and drinking some wine, and then we went to a house party in Bellaire that was so crowded- I've never seen anything like it! They cleared out all of the furniture and the massive living room was a huge dance floor ...
