Meghann Early from New York City!  For submitting her winning photos and descriptions, this Thrifty Fashionista (that’s the name of her cool blog) won a pair of “Flirty Eyelashes” and Tahitian Sunset shimmer from Tropez and “Precious Metals” eye shadow by Black Radiance.  You see mamas, you have to play to win.

Leona Lewis! by {Jenn<333} *TAKiNG ReQUeSTS*
Not only is Brit songbird Leona Lewis lovely; she’s an up-and-coming style trendsettter.  Notice the cool cable knit Boho hat by Cole Haan, the cute pink scarf, and the must-have riding boots. The total ensemble is feminine yet funky.
Leona is wearing the style of slouchy hat I love. I look forward to seeing your hat submissions for “The Hot Mama Daily Challenge” (see below post).

Fellow b5media blogger Julie Bonner is hosting a challenge on The Snarkstress, and I’m jumping on board.  It’s called “The Snarkstress Challenge” and each week Julie will ask her readers to step out of their beauty and fashion ruts.  Sounds like fun, right?
In keeping with the celebrity trend of the moment, the first challenge was simple… to wear and/or buy a scarf.  So below is a photo of me wearing a black “Pashmina” scarf (and a cute black and white stripped turtle neck I scooped up at Forever 21 for only $8.50) during my dizzying four-day stay in Las Vegas.
 
The photo was …read more
