I have recently come to realize that, despite my obvious style acumen, there is an obvious gaping hole in my wardrobe. No, it isn’t some must have fall gladiator bootie, it’s the basics. You know, the crisp white shirt, the sleek pencil skirt, the perfect LBD. I have been so focused on accumulating one-of-a-kind statement pieces that I have almost completely overlooked these essential items.
Don’t get me wrong, I do have one LBD, but it’s so L that it just isn’t that versatile. In my quest to fill this gaping hole in my own wardrobe, I’ve come across three LBDs …read more

There’s two things I love in this world. Actually there’s plenty more, but for the sake of brevity, I’ll limit myself to fashion and good deals. This dress is both. The dress itself is a once worn wedding gown by Vera Wang, which makes the price roughly 60% of retail. Buying a once worn wedding gown is a great way to save money if, like me, you have better taste than your budget allows.
As much as I love a discount, once I get a load of the back of this dress, I just don’t care how much it costs. It’s …read more

In the summertime, I don’t like to wear perfume or other heavily fragranced products, but I do like perfumed body lotions. Lately, my favorite is Vera Wang Princess Body Lotion. Yes, I know the fragrance has been out for quite sometime. And actually, I don’t wear the perfume itself — it’s a little too floral for me. However the body lotion is just perfect.
Lightly scented with the exotic fruity floral perfume, it has notes of vanilla and guava that give it a summer sweetness that I really love.
Unlike some other perfumed lotions, this one is actually a really good product …read more

The 8th season of Dancing With the Stars just wrapped up a few weeks ago, but gossip police are already wondering who will be taking the big trophy away from Shawn Johnson and my favorite pretty boy dancer Mark Ballas. Will it be…Vera Wang?
