Sharing is Karing

I had to share this when I received the fab deal from Kiehls today...I LOVE the Mango hand lotion and the lip balm that gives just a tint of color, but a whole lot of protection with SP15, both are in my handbag right now.

Ear Style

Sorry I have been MIA, I am in Portland, Oregon on holiday and gathering fab fashion and entertainment locales here...until I get home, I thought I would share a search for my trip home that I was doing...I have noticed on my travels that the 80's style BIG head phones are back...I need a new pair of head phones for my iPod and I have found a few options that I was going to share with everyone.

Bose Headphone...kinda expensive, but I have to imagine it is worth it:) $139.95

Fred Flare $50 headphones

Vintage Finds

Thriftonista is starting to get designers like Vintage Emanuel Ungaro.  This item is up for auction until June 15th, good luck!

Remember When...

Do you remember when everything you saw was monogrammed items?  It was about 2 or 3 years ago...well, recently I have been spying the trend remerging but, with one letter.  The gold circle pendant with either the first initial of your first or last name is here...and, it is funny because my mother and father in law have worn a necklace with their spouses initial on it since they have been married...so, this is nothing new...but, I really like the look. 

Fashion Fixer

Do you have any tanks that seem like they are just too wide to wear with regular bra, and you just don't want to wear a strapless?  Well, I love the new summer layer trick that I have been seeing everywhere so I decided to try...I was actually inspired by Whitney on The Hills:)  But, now I am seeing it everywhere...I think that racerback tanks/wife beater tanks look the best with this type of layering.

Livestrong Continues

The trend of wearing the yellow plastic bracelet that says "LIVESTRONG," might have died down (I still have mine), but the fight to cure cancer has not.  The Lance Armstrong Foundation has also incorporated a LIVESTRONG collection of running and training apparel, footwear and accessories for men, women and kids.  

I would like to giveaway a size Small of the LIVESTRONG active top to someone who sends an email on why they would like to represent this great cause to fashionalities@gmail.com.

As everyone knows, I LOVE notebooks and you can get a free LIVESTRONG notebook and just pay shipping and handling to represent this cause.  Spread the word in every way that you can.

DON'T Give Up, Get Strategic

About Sample Sales, of Course:)  Now, I know all of us don't live in New York City, or L.A. for that matter...and can't just jump on a plane because there is a sample sale this week...but, no reason to give up on a great deal...I say, why not call the show room and see if they can send the piece you are interested in...you never know! Or, when you see that sample sale season is starting, google the showroom of your fave designer and see if they would allow you to purchase over the phone.

StyleChile has noted a couple of fab samples sales this week, good luck!
