Lloyd Boston, Jones New York Style Guy and star of Fine Living Network’s Closet Cases, talks about his essential summer pieces that are stylish yet classic and easy on your budget.

“White Denim is a MUST for Summer, they’re as close to universal as you can get, next to your natural bare legs.”

“Stylist trick — Nude underpinnings will not show through even your lightest weight white’s this summer so be sure to have them on standby by for any occasion!”

“Summer is all about bold, intense color — the hottest and easiest way to start sporting this look at your next summer …read more

It’s time to look for something gorgeous that won’t hurt the budget and some days things just seem to fall into your lap!
Just in case you are in love with polka dots… do I have the bikini for you. Just too cute for words so I’m giving you a photo to help convince you. And take special notice of the bikini bottoms. I love the way the brought the pink ribbons in to match the top. And just $14.99 for each piece. Not bad on the budget at all and with these kinds of prices, you can have as many …read more

Today’s the day I get to pick what I want… for no good reason and today, it’s a vest…
And not just any vest. This one is big time different. It is so different, that I just had to provide you with a photo of the back as well. You have to admit, it is an easy way to dress up a simple little t-shirt.

Now is that cool or what? Available at Urban Outfitters

This is what five of my colleagues are talking about today…
Sasha at Tops2Bottoms has found the cutest trenchcoat. You are going to love the color!!
Kori at Glamor Gift Guide has a great little bag for you… and it looks just like a dragonfly!
Edie at Just a Formality has the most gorgeous dress. I love the fact that the color fades! Take a look. You will see what I mean!
Chloe at Gleaming Things has a very unusual bracelet to check out! Check it out!!
Christina at Ebeauty has a book that you might not want to miss.

It’s time for another stroll through Sephora to see what they have that I/We might want. Thank goodness we have access to Sephora on-line. Makes it so much easier for those of us who haven’t a shop close by. I think that my closest is downtown Toronto. Going to have to do something about that! And something is in the works!
Today, I have fallen in love with another product from Two Faced. It’s called Glamour Gloss and this company is  rapidly becoming a favorite of mine. To start off, I have already picked two shades for me that will be …read more

You might think that all women’s razors are created equal. Trust me… they’re not. Just tried Schick Quattro for Women  last night and I’m impressed. *One of the first thing that I look for is how it feels in your hand. The weight is perfect and it’s not going to slip out of your hand in the middle of your bath or shower. You really don’t want that to happen now do you?? There is also two conditioning strips, but I wasn’t expecting that each strip would feature different conditioners. One is aloe and the other is Vitamin E and B5, which makes …read more

With summer technically right around the corner, I thought that I would go looking for some MUST HAVES. Here’s what I found for you today. It’s all about new summer colors and summer hair. I am sooooo ready for summer to arrive and here’s hoping that it sticks around until at least December. Wishful thinking I know, but that’s what I want!

Today’s the day I get to pick what I want… for no good reason and today, it’s yes… another pair of shoes, but look at how cool they are. I love wedges and this  style is even better! Just love the detailing and especially the metal studs! You could get tons of mileage out of this pair and the colors are perfect with my wardrobe… which means I really should have both colors. Remember today is all about what I want… not necessarily what I need.

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
