The Lemons of Summer

Aly Walansky — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:05:29 +0000

Praise the lord, summer is finally here.

Lodis.com

While I have ushered in the first few true summer days with a sunburn, I am way happy to be putting my layers and boots away for a few months. And I’m also eager to celebrate all things summer – including light, sunny colors!

Lodis’s Amalfi collection comes in very bright, seasonal shades, like greens and bubblegum pink – but I’m right now partial to the lemon.

Check out my favorite pieces (from left to right in photo):

Large ballet wallet ($115)
Large clutch wallet with gusset ($94)
Photo keychain ($14)
Zipper card case with key chain($34)

I’m all about the large wallet, simply because I stuff so much, well, stuff into mine! My own is chockful of coupons, credit cards, and gift cards there wouldn’t be room for cash – even if I had any!

I spent the weekend in Montauk, one that was full of fun in the sun (and a sunburn to match…sigh).

Of course, fun in the sun has to include quality sunglasses.

Now is a great time to shop for shades of your very own, since you will also be helping to do something really important for the world: Right now Solstice will give 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of SOLSTICE Beach Totes to The Climate Project for the entire month of June. Solstice wants to reward customers as well- from June 10th to July 19th, spend $125 and get the beach tote for $10 or buy any pair of sunglasses valued at $250 or more and receive the beach tote for free.

I LOVE the idea of getting hot new sunglasses and gifts too (and know I am helping to make a difference while I’m at it!).

To add to my excitement, five readers will each win a $50 Gift Card to Solstice Sunglass Boutique! To have your chance to win, tell me your most fun sun-related memory! Earn extra entries by re-tweeting this entry (my twitter name is @alywalansky). Entry deadline is July 15 – good luck!!!

Set to Spa in St. Louis

Aly Walansky — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 08:00:29 +0000

In a few days, I am going on a “business” trip to St. Louis to experience the Fashion Week presentations of their local designers.

Note the quote marks.

While I am quite sure it will be extremely educational and help me gain tons of useful blog material, I will also be “researching” the spas, nightlife, and fine dining. (Cue those violins.)

I realized that a new swim suit may be in order – and just in time, Lands’ End sent me a few!

All their pieces are separates, which makes it way easier for you to find parts that best compliment your shape. And, it also means almost like you are getting a few suits at the same time! Check out some of the awesome options and colors here.

Monday’s What I’m Wanting – Stila Lip Glaze

SP Bragg — Tue, 27 May 2008 01:27:01 +0000

Today’s the day I get to pick what I want… for no good reason and today, it’s this lip glaze by Stila .

This time, I actually need this lip glaze as I somehow lost the tube that I bought a couple of months ago. I don’t even want to think about all the tubes of glosses and lipsticks that I have lost over the years. One minute it’s in my handbag and then… poof, it’s gone. So yes, I want this lip glaze in fruit punch. Just enough color to turn head, but not enough to look dry. In a word, it’s perfect for summer.

Tory Burch Resin Clutch

SP Bragg — Mon, 05 May 2008 11:48:15 +0000

This is rather pretty and like nothing else I have at the moment. I think it’s the texture of the bag that caught my attention. It reminds me of drinking straws and strawberry milkshakes?? I have no idea where that came from… but I haven’t had breakfast yet, so maybe that’s it.

And just in case you are wondering, it comes in black too. Black licorice?? Okay, I’m heading down to breakfast right now!

$295.00

*Choose Provence (pink) or black resin with ribbed detail. Provence, goldtone hardware; black, silverton. Signature logo medallion. Leather lining. 4 1/2″H x 8″W x 1″D. Imported.

Ojon 5 Piece Try Me Kit

SP Bragg — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:25:15 +0000

I don’t know about you, but when I see the words “TRY ME”, something just snaps in my brain… and I have to do just that. And this kit is to make your hair gorgeous.

“A complete hair restoration ritual from the native Tawira of Central America’s tropical rainforest, known as “the people of beautiful hair.”™

With the hot weather finally here, I simply want to jump in the shower, lather up, condition and then get out. The last thing I want to do is to have to flat iron my hair to make it look good. I was gorgeous wash and go curls. Can’t help but give this kit a try!

“Rare organic Ojon® oil adds an incredible healing moisture at each stage in this 5-step ritual to restoring hair to a naturally-looking beauty and healthy shine.”

Sounds good to me! Who doesn’t want lots of healthy shiny hair for the summer??
