If you have been reading the last few weeks, you may have noticed I’ve been less than pleased with my post-winter body. It’s a pretty dismal sight, and my chief goal for the stretch between now and the summer is to knock it back into shape using all my tried and true tricks – and a few new ones.
One of my new tools is Sensei for Weight Loss, a mobile nutrition program that assists and guides people with busy lifestyles in managing their diets and weight loss through healthy eating and fitness. At $15 (for the Sensei Online service) …read more

And this is just one of the items that you are going to find. The top was originally $57.00 and now it’s down to $21.90 It looks like it’s time to hit the big stores. There’s bargains like never before and here’s twenty five more pages of items marked down by at least 60%. Actually, on the last page, items have been slashed by 70%!

This trio is apparently sold out at MAC, but it seems to still be available at Nordstrom… now these ARE  gorgeous colors!
Positively loving these colors. Not a hundred percent sure of the red… though it does look awfully Christmasy. Also available at Nordstrom and Mac Cosmetics… whichever is closer and still available in your area.

Today’s the day I get to pick what I want… for no good reason and today, it’s Go Brow by Anastasia. Is there a woman alive who actually likes her brows? If there is someone out there, I sure would like to meet her because I certainly don’t. Thank goodness for bangs. They can hide a multitude of sins.
Anastasia Universal Brow Pencil & Highlighter Duo  offers”Dual-ended brow pencil with universal brow color and highlighter work together to create wow brows.” That’s what I’m after… WOW BROWS.

I have put off wearing sweaters for as long as possible this year, but I am starting to think the time has come to start looking for something that doesn’t look like it came straight from the sixties. This one doesn’t. It doesn’t even look like a cardigan really!
I love the fact that you can play around with the length.  “Lightweight open-front cardigan is cleverly designed to be worn either short or long and features voluminous dolman sleeves to accentuate the drapey silhouette. Ribbed trim adds classic detail, while a touch of angora ensures a soft hand.”
Now really… what’s not …read more

There’s a time when guys just want to lounge around in comfortable fashion and then there’s the time when they are out to impress. Versace to the rescue. Double back darts are going to cinch in their waist and the ombre stripes in shades of black is going to work in the same way.  Dry clean only so you won`t have to iron this one! I for one, hate ironing shirts! Available at Nordstrom for $275.00.

Now that we are officially into the fall season, you can expect to see summer accessories suddenly hitting the sales racks. While I’m not pleased to see the end of summer, I am all in favor of collecting cute little pieces to put aside for next summer. These dragonfly earrings are  studded with hand-set  and are approximately 1/2 inch in width. Oh and here’s the best part. They were originally listed at $45.00 but they can be yours now (thanks to the cold weather ) for $26.90. I just might learn to like the coming months!

I found some new sales and promotions for the upcoming season, so I thought that I would let you know.
Bloomingdales: If you love to shop online, you are going to love this one. If you make 2 purchases, the third is half price! Some departments are excluded, but fashion isn’t one of them!
Nordstrom: According to their main page, get your fashion shopping done now because prices are going up August 4th!
Saks: Tons of items reduced… just take your pick!
JCPenney: Bras have been slashed big time. Can’t remember when I saw them featured under $15.00 a piece.
Barneys: Looking for your next …read more

It’s time to go looking for that next “must have”. Here’s something that I’m drooling over!
I have a feeling that it’s going to be a busy day for… What’s Hot Fridays. I didn’t have to look for than about 30 seconds to find this and while I was looking I found more and more “must haves” I will pop in later with a few more so stay tuned. But for now, I just have to show you this cover-up. It can be worn more than one way… like a sundress which I love or you can fold over the bodice …read more

Well, I pretty much got my wish this week, but it can’t hurt to have some back-up! I have my computer back thank goodness. Hubby managed to wipe everything off and re-install what was needed. Now all I have to do is go and collect all of my favorite links and I’m good to go. If nothing else, it has taught me a lesson. Keep track of EVERYTHING because you just never know when it’s going to be gone in a poof!
*Any way check out these bangles. Are they cool or what? I love the little charms and I’m kind …read more
