Big and Bouncy!!

Lately I've been getting tons of compliments on my big bouncy curls I've had going on in my hair. (Thank you!!!) And while I'd love to say I just wake up like this the fact is I don't! But how I achieve the look is super easy and with a few tools you can get the look too!! Conair Infinity You Style multi-fucntional styling iron  (flat-iron and curling iron in one) is by far the one hair tool I cannot live without!! I use this practically every time I do my hair. It's quick its easy best of all its CHEAP at only $39.99 a pop. I've spent hundreds of dollars on flat irons but none complete me quite like my Conair Infinity you style! Not only does it give me beachy waves, bouncy curls but it straightens great too!For an even bigger look with a little more time I use the Conair Instant Heat Jumbo  rollers. These are great for a dramatic look. They heat up fast and are very easy to use! They are also super affordable at $26.99!You can purchase both of these items at www.target.comxx M

A travel essential

Wet bikinis can be quite a pain. I'm sure we've all shoved them in an unglamorous zip lock bag to avoid getting everything else in our bags wet. These wet bikini totes offer the perfect solution with such a glamorous flair! My mom purchased this tote with a hot pink terry cloth shell from Henri Bendels not too long ago.I've since borrowed it twice! Absolutely obsessed! Since she could not find them available at Bendels again she purchased this lovely alternative by Maimica. She surprised me with it in my Easter basket ( yes I still get Easter baskets). I can't wait for my next trip so I can use this adorable piece!I'm not quite sure where she purchased this tote but you can visit their facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/MiamicaTrendyTravelAccessories/161341198969 for more information. And their home site with information on all their items is http://www.miamica.com/Default.aspxI'm actually quite obsessed with this brand. They have adorable travel accessories! They make for perfect gifts!Happy travelsxxM

Perfect Pout

I've become a huge fan of matte lip color. My favorite happens to be Bare Essentials Boxom big and healthy lipstick, color in Brooklyn. Its a slightly rust color in a trendy matte look! Perfection! These lipsticks are a Sephora exclusive. Another favorite is Monte Carlo for a fun pop pink! I often mix these together for a really fun look!

Best Convertible Dress!

Recently I paid a visit to American Apparel and fell in love with the convertible dresses they have in both an a-line shark bite hem version and a pencil version. This dress is so comfy and so versatile! They even have the body suit version that looks great with high waisted skirts!. I purchased 2 pencil versions and a red a-line version. They are a bargain price at $43.00 when you can wear it 15 ways! That's like $3.00 an outfit after tax! Get yours at http://store.americanapparel.net/rsa8339.html?cid=29

Strapless Wonder

A few months ago my beloved strapless bra from Gilly Hicks was murdered by a big crazy dog! (were not going to get into the whys and hows of this story, no explanation necessary) Every girl knows how hard it can be to find a really good strapless bra, one that doesn't give you torpedo boob syndrome, cuts into your underarms, or one that screams it's all padding! I've been on a serious search for a good one since the traumatic event with the dog and was not impressed with what i was seeing. I have no issues paying top dollar for a good strapless bra as long as it fits into my checklist. (No lines, no cutting into sides etc etc...) Most of what I had tried were overly padded which is my biggest peeve of all! . I'm a frequent buyer of H&M lingerie and decided to try out their strapless and can I say what a great alternative to my beloved Gilly Hicks strapless. It's thinly lined so you still look and feel natural and it comes with removable straps. It comes in Nude, Grey, Black and Navy. At $12.90 its def a steal!xx M
