Lacoste Breast Cancer Beach Bag $135

This is Lacoste’s classic summer beach bag.  I bought this exact bag in a different color combination about five years ago and I use it ALL the time.  It’s a perfect size and it’s extremely durable.  It has a tiny little matching version that works great as a mini wallet when you’re at the beach all day.

Lacoste Pink Croc Collection

Designers have been showing some gorgeous pieces for Spring, with yummy colors and very wearable accessories coming up for the next season.

Diane Von Furstenburg continued the trend of bold, simple accessories in bright candy colors with her big bangle bracelets:

The knotted necklace almost has a tribal feel to it – but updated with more of those great colors.

I can pass on the feathery sleeves, but those shoes from Zac Posen are completely yummy!  How can you resist the combination of blue satin, crystal accents and bows?  I don’t think you can get more girly-girl than that…

I love Lacoste’s simple, elegant white sunhats – accented with a plain black ribbon band.  They’re completely wearable and very flattering – now where can I get one, please?

This classic polo looks great on just about anyone and the colour selection is fantastic.

Just don’t let him do the whole “popped collar” thing, that was never a cute trend.

Get Dad Ready For Summer!

It has a citrusy top note, a floral heart, and a base of musky woodiness. I like it, but I sometimes have a problem with florals. My daughter loved it and I’m pretty sure that when I finish writing this up, she’s going to snag it for herself.  She’s worn it every day since it arrived in the mail.

Fragrance Notes: Blood Orange, Passion Fruit, Lemon Peel, Pink Magnolia, Quince Flower, Stephanotis, White Cedarwood, Musk, and Vanilla

Lacoste Half-Zip Cable Sweater

I simply love the scent of Lacoste Essential cologne. My husband currently uses it and I must say, it’s absolutely divine. The cologne is fresh, clean, watery and not at all over-powering like some men’s fragrances tend to be. There’s a really neat ‘time-release’ technology which ‘refreshes’ the scent and makes it last all day. Tangerine, bergamot and cassis are just some of the top notes that combine with sandalwood, rose and patchuouli. Your man will have to fight you off whenever he splashes some of this on hehe. Get the 4.2oz bottle at Sephora for $65.
