Beautiful Braids
If you’re searching for a simple, standout hairstyle, why not give the braided updo a try, it’s an excellent way to add a touch of sophistication.
Dreams Do Come True
There are so many designers with clothing I absolutely love. Unfortunately on a working-girl’s budget I can’t buy them all. I see a great Bagdley Mischka dress I just have to have, then I see the latest Christian Siriano design and I want that one. What is a girl to do. To the rescue is Rent The Runway, a girl’s best friend. You get the most amazing clothing and jewelry from the top designers. For about 10% of the actual price of the clothing, Rent The Runway lets you pick the dress for your ocassion, gets it to you on time, and you simply mail it back to them afterwards. I LOVE this place. I have the real deal that would have cost me a month’s salary for $150 to wear to my special occassion. I simply can’t thank Rent The Runway enough for making a fashionista’s dreams come true. Here’s a sampling of what you can find at RentTheRunway.com

Wash to Glow
The secret to a fresh, clear complexion ? Knowing the proper way to get a clean face. You treat your clothing with special care, your face deserves the same.
Vintage Engagement Rings
Whether it’s a real antique or vintage inspired, engagement rings are hopping on the ‘old school’ bandwagon. Is it the because of the upcoming royal wedding or the desire to share items of family importance ? Any way you look at it, it’s a beautiful trend I love. Antique rings can cost as much as $20,000 or more, but vintage inspired will set your guy back a whole lot less.
