Spice things up this Valentine's Day with a line of sexy lingerie from the Kardashian Kollection. This line of lingerie is available is a variety of colors and patterns including pink, leopard, black, floral and much more! The line consists of bras, briefs, slips and corsets. All items are affordable and are guaranteed to impress your man.

Check out the Kardashian Kollection lingerie in addition to the rest of the Kardashian Kollection line at Sears stores and online at Sears.com.

I received the bra and panties that are featured in the picture above, the Kardashian Kollection Smooth Everyday Strapless Convertible Bra with Diamante ($39) and Smooth Everyday Brief with Diamante Buckle ($25) in Nude/Gold (Also Available in Black/Silver). The look and quality surpassed my expectations. Therefore, I can easily understand why their pieces have been flying off the racks.

The bra that I received is available in a 32B - 36D, and the panties are available in a S - L. Both are utterly comfortable and flattering. I'd normally opt for Black, but the Nude/Gold is undeniably gorgeous. I'm very picky when it comes to lingerie, but I wouldn't mind having each piece from their Intimate Collection. Everything is sexy and flirty without pushing the envelope, which is a hard to pull off with lingerie at these affordable prices.

Award-Winning Looks of 2012

2012-01-19T11:39:00.002-06:00

While the Golden Globes are over, there are still plenty of awards shows to get us fashionistas through the cold winter months. The Globes saw the emergence of several new trends, as well as some more of the same. But what will the Oscars and the Grammys bring? Using the Globes as a reference point, Fashion Designer and Expert Claudia Patel shares what she think swill be big for the coming (and historically more fashionably exciting) red carpet opportunities.

Sheer Cut-Outs

This past Sunday night, we saw a lot of risk taking in the cut-out and sheer department. Red carpet veteran Lea Michele and newcomer Rooney Mara alike embraced this trend full throttle, and judging by how their choices were received by critics, Claudia predicts there will be a lot more of these options to come. “The focus on sheer areas as well as strategically placed cut-outs was a very exciting deviation from the steady stream of nude and red gowns that we have already seen. Not for the faint of heart, these styles are gutsy and fashion forward. We’ll be seeing more of them in the near future.”

Statement Accessories

While jewelry is certainly a main component of every red carpet look, the Globes showcased a more obvious move toward show-stopping pieces. As Claudia puts it, “I really loved the emergence of headbands this year. It’s rare to see celebrities utilizing hair jewelry, and that little bit of sparkle among the same old hair trends was both invigorating and cutting edge. In the battle of the bling, stars like Heidi Klum led the pack.She embodied the perfect balance between a simple, body-conscious gown and an elaborate, intricate, scene-stealing necklace.”

Metallic Embellishment

From Nicole Richie’s all-over beaded frock to Salma Hayek’s geometric gold-paneled design, embellishment was a hit at this year’s Golden Globes. Claudia says, “I enjoyed seeing Salma Hayek work the metallic, futuristic look so confidently. Considering she mentioned to commentators that she had switched her dress at the last minute, this was definitely a good move! Nicole Richie’s all-over silver beading was a sparkling, bold approach to the trend, and Zooey Deschanel let the embellishment be the star by choosing a dress that faded from black to bright green beading.”

Color Blocking

We saw some stars experiment with this trend from the runway, and Claudia doesn’t see any reason that it should slow down for the rest of awards season. “Celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Claire Danes proved that color blocking patterns are not only flattering, unexpected,and fun, but they are also regal. Often, color blocking is seen as a more casual trend, but the details on these gowns were truly breathtaking, and as a result, both Claire and Angelina found their way onto many best dressed lists.In my opinion, other stars should take note of this and run with it for the upcoming shows,” says Claudia.

Peplum

A rather different silhouette also stormed the red carpet,putting the ladies that rocked it way ahead of their competitors in the trend department. Claudia says, “Say it with me now: peplum! After seasons of seeing this look displayed on runways, it seems that the star community has finally taken note. With actresses like Julianne Moore and Madeline Stowe leading the way, I think that we’ll see a lot more of the peplum silhouette in the future. One of the biggest overall trends for spring,ladylike has emerged as a frontrunner in gown design as well, and I can’t wait to see more!”

Wardrobe Basics: Go from Drab to Fab This Year

2012-01-11T14:42:00.000-06:00

January and February are challenging months to get dressed—Fall is long gone and Spring is not quite here. This, combined with a possible vacation to somewhere warm and tropical, means your wardrobe is doing some serious multi-tasking. With the help of these five fantastic wardrobe basics, looking great will be effortless:

1. Have a Blazer On Hand - A blazer is an easy way to dress up an outfit: mix it with jeans, khakis, pants or even a pencil skirt to go from casual to dressy. Blazers in black, gold or white mixed with floral print dresses are a big trend for Spring, so a well-fit blazer will be an essential piece throughout the year.

2. Dark Wash Jeans with Minimal Decoration - These have become a great item that takes you from work to play or from day to night. It’s best to choose a fabric weight that works year-round. Denim is a consistent fashion staple, so more than one pair never hurts!

3. The Crisp White Woven Shirt - This is the wardrobe staple that’s a go-to when you simply do not know what to wear. Take your cue from Jackie Kennedy, who showed up year - round in a crisp white button-down shirt, keeping it simple but always classic.

4. The LBD (Little Black Dress) – This type of dress works every season and any time of the year; it’s all in how you accessorize it. Most style experts will tell you “Don’t leave home without your favorite statement piece of jewelry and your Little Black Dress!” If you are not sure what to wear in a more formal situation, always reach for your LBD!

5. Camisoles and Tank Tops – This year, select stylish, well-fitted camisoles and tanks in colors that flatter your skin tone. These must look good when worn under sweaters and jackets or just by themselves; this way, they are extremely versatile and work in any season.

Melissa Matos launched Sproos in May 2011 after an inspiring trip to Tokyo in 2009. She found many chic and sassy accessories on her trip. Therefore, she was inspired to create accessories accessible to the every day woman and her budget. She feels that you shouldn’t have to buy a whole new outfit to feel you have variety in your wardrobe. Adding subtle or vibrant accessories to your clothes can make all the difference, and we couldn't agree more!

I used to hate to wear headbands, because they would hurt my ears. Also, many were generic looking. They have come a long way since then, because most of them no longer hurt and there are many fashionable choices out there. The Darling Bow Headband ($17) has to be one of the cutest styles I've come across so far! It's chic, elegant, and it will make your tresses stand out even more. It also looks beautiful with just about anything.

I thought that hair bows were specifically reserved for children, but I changed my mind after a year ago when I bought a couple of cute hair bow barrettes off of etsy. I've become slightly addicted to wearing them since then. They are a fun and youthful way to play up your style without looking tacky or childish. True to name, the Perfectly Sweet Bow Barrettes ($16) can be worn separately or together when styling your hair. I recently donned the black hair bow barrette with one of my favorite black blouses, and I received several compliments.

I also received the Cheetah Bow Clip ($13), and I immediately fell in love with it since I'm fond of that style. I already had a couple of leopard print hair barrettes, but didn't have more of a "simplistic" one in my collection. I have one that has Marilyn Monroe on it and the other has a Dia de los Muertos skull on it. Also, I love that not only you can wear this in your hair, but it has a pin on it where you can pin it up on your favorite dress or blouse!

Gigi Hill Bags Review

2011-12-27T17:48:00.000-06:00

Gigi Hill Bags are smart, stylish, functional, and fashionable bags for busy moms and on-the-go women. These bags are designed by two very busy moms who started the company in 2009, and now their bags are seen in magazines and on TV shows! They make an ideal gift for that busy mom or friend on the go. Plus, they are affordable (prices $25 – $250).

Gigi Hill Bags and Accessories also prides itself on providing career opportunities to women by enabling them to build their own business in their own time/pace by becoming a GiGi Hill Stylist. Designed to be fun and social but also financially rewarding (a little extra cash for that busy mom who wants to stay at home with their kids!) Gigi Hill Stylists enjoy the flexibility of setting their own hours to generate the extra income they’re looking for.

There are three ways to buy your Gigi Hill Bag or Accessory – you can simply go online https://www.gigihillbags.com and either place your order, find a Stylist near you and host your own party with your friends, or become a Gigi Hill Stylist yourself and you will have a great selection of bags and accessories to showcase and sell to your friends!

Check out their Facebook page to keep up with the latest deets!

The Elizabeth ($158; Available in Athena Black/Baby Luxe, Athena Bronze / Baby Luxe, Country Villa/English Chocolate, Dusk/Bordeaux, Fleur de Lis/Bordeaux, Vintage Rose/Pink Bengaline, and Willow/City Red) is the first ever bag designed by the Gigi Hill Founders. They proudly call it their weekender bag, but you would love to carry it everyday! I received the Dynasty print (pictured above). It instantly became an overnight sensation, because it is generously spacious and stylish.

Featuring their signature pocket design, you can be assured that it will hold all of your noteworthy essentials - cell phone, make-up, baby bottle, sunglasses, keys, water bottle, etc. If security is an issue - don't fret! It features a large two-way zipper that will keep your items safe and secure. It's perfect to use for a weekend getaway, a carry-on for the plane, or just a busy day with many stops. Not only it makes the perfect weekender bag, but you could also use it as a luxe diaper bag or library book bag!

Gigi Hill Bags are fashionably attractive, customizable, durable, and cleanable - even if your baby spits up or you accidentally coffee all over it!

Hats.com Review

2011-12-21T21:19:00.000-06:00

Fedora hats conjure the image of sophisticated crooners, bank robbers, prohibition-era lawbreakers, and bootleggers of the heyday. They're undeniably timeless and exude style and class. Businessman and Hollywood stars consider them as a staple. They have also been featured in top notch films like American Gangsters to Indiana Jones. As the cold weather is settling in on us, there is no better time to update your look than with a new hat. The Bailey of Hollywood Gangster Hat ($65; Available in Black, Cordova, or Dark Grey) is reminiscent of the gangster fedora favored by infamous crooks such as Al Capone, Dutch Schultz, Jack "Legs" Diamond, Bugsy Siegel, and John Dillinger. These men were ruthless criminals and all around bad guys, but their smooth and articulate style was undeniable.

I opted for the Bailey of Hollywood Gangster Hat in Black, because the feather accent made it stood out from the other hats. However, the lining is what makes it really unique since it features images of iconic gangsters. It's beautifully constructed of 100% wool and has a wide grosgrain headband & bow. It sells for $65, which is quite a deal due to the quality hat you will receive. My oldest brother loves wearing hats. So, I know that he will look dapper in his new hat!

I also love the Bailey of Hollywood Barr Hat ($100), Bailey of Hollywood Clayd Hat ($70), Kaminski XY Carry Fedora ($245), and Bailey of Hollywood Torrance Hat ($65).

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Tarte Cosmetics "Puttin' on the Glitz" Limited-Edition Color Collection & Clutch Review

2011-12-21T16:17:00.001-06:00

The Tarte Cosmetics "Puttin' on the Glitz" Limited-Edition Color Collection & Clutch ($48) is an essential gift for the beauty connoisseur that loves to multi-task. It's inspired by the screen legends of the heyday, making it a highly coveted beauty collection to shine this holiday season!

Each Set Includes:

- 3 interchangeable palettes for a total of 18 Eyeshadows, 1 Amazonian Clay 12-Hour blush, 1 Amazonian Clay Shimmering Powder, and 1 Park Ave Princess Amazonian Clay Bronzer

- Maracuja-Infused Lipgloss

- Reusable purse that features 4 credit card slots and a removable mirror

- Detailed "get-the-look" instruction card

The silver carry-all is this season's most sought-after accessory, and their clutch is something to marvel at! It features a slim row of gold-tone links and stunning metallic faux python leather.

The shades in the three palettes are equally impressive! You can easily slip them in and out of your clutch for a quick touch-up. My favorite palette is the Girls' Night Out, because it is ideal for that sexy, smoky look that I'm quite fond of. It has a mixture of vivid mattes and silverspun shimmers complete with Amazonian clay shimmering powder in champagne. The "A Walk in the Park" palette features a mixture of cool and warm easy-to-wear natural shades including Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in darling (a soft shimmering coral pink), which is ideal for a feminine, natural look. The "Nine-to-Five" palette features not-so-quiet rich colors paired with traditional neutrals and Tarte's best-selling ParkAve Princess Amazonian Clay Bronzer inside for a fresh faced healthy glow. Appropriately named, it's ideal for the working girl who wants a soft, yet sophisticated look.

Monroe and Main Review

Monroe and Main are dedicated to bringing you flattering fashions, fabulous footwear and the latest accessories. Whether you're heading to the office, out on the town, or off on a fun-filled get-away, they can help you put your look together with mix and match staples.

From casual to career wear, they offer attainable styles that are on trend but never trendy, with distinctively feminine details. Best of all, you don't have to sacrifice comfort for style. They choose apparel that features ultra-feminine styling with a relaxed fit.

Like them on Facebook and/or follow them via Twitter to keep up with the latest deets.

The Flamenco Ruffle Trench ($129.95 - $139.95; Available in Black, Red, or Champagne) exudes exquisitely of femininity and unapologetic sophistication. I opted for the Black, because this shade is classic, making me feel professional and regal. It fits me beautifully, because it is true to size. It's very comfortable! The length of the coat is perfect for me and the material is soft, but not too heavy. It would be great to wear for seasons in between and you can just throw it on to add an additional oomph of luxury.

The picture of the Flamenco Ruffle Trench wasn't deceiving in the least, because it looks exactly like it does in the picture, details and color. I've worn it a few times already, and one of my sisters borrowed it for a holiday party without me knowing about it. Needless to say, it's the kind of trench coat that you'd probably want to hide, because everyone will want to borrow it.

Budget-Friendly Holiday Fashion Tips for the Fashionista

2011-12-06T16:26:00.001-06:00

With shopping season at its peak, a closet filled with presents for your loved ones may leave you with no budget for your own wardrobe. And digging deep into your closet for a recycled getup may result in a disastrous fashion faux pas. Its holiday party season and you need a solution—FAST! With these guidelines from Fashion Designer and Expert Claudia Patel get inspired and update your look. Jingle your way to the top of the ‘nice’ list—of best holiday look, that is.

When in Doubt, Stick to Basics

It’s always easier to update a basic look, then to downplay a one hit wonder. Steer clear of last season’s printed trends that have expired. Spice up winter white, nude and black with the right accessories. Wearing nude? Throw on a black blazer, grab your basic black pumps and pair it with big drop down earrings and one of this season’s bold nail colors like deep reds or blues. Transform your LBD into a soft feminine look with a neutral flowy cardigan and neutral pumps perfect for this year’s office party. Browse your closet and play with complimentary colors without being too matchy-matchy.

If it fits like a glove, that is your statement.

— Elle Strauss, Senior Fashion Editor for "Lucky" Magazine

Patterned Tights/Stockings

A simple way to update a recycled dress would be to pair it with patterned tights. Strut into your friend’s holiday party with the confidence of a true fashionista. Whether lace or leopard, make sure your patterns don’t clash with your dress. Stick to a basic color dress and play up your legs. Try a nude dress with black lace tights, or a black dress with bold animal print. Steer clear of patterned dresses with patterned leggings/stockings — you don’t want to overdo bold.

Sweater Dress Comeback

Remember when you bought tons of long sweaters to compliment your tights? Well, your sweater dress can make a big comeback at this year’s holiday party—appropriate for work parties and social gatherings with friends. Grab your favorite dressy long sweater, and if it’s patterned or printed pair it with a pair of nude or black peep toe pumps. For solid colors, throw on a wide playful belt. We're feverishly fawning over the Baby Doll Sweater Dress ($115 at On the Hook).

A Dress Nip and Tuck

A stylist’s secret can be your biggest holiday savior—hem tape. Have a knee-length LBD tucked away in the back of your closet? Give it a quick – yet stunning style makeover with simple altercations.

Get the Luxurious Runway Look for Less

2011-12-06T10:29:00.000-06:00

While it may seem silly to begin thinking of color pallets and mini vs. maxi dresses, now is the time to snag looks still on sale from summer 2011 that will translate into 2012.

For example, Marc Jacobs showed bold colors in a minimalistic style for next spring. The grand dame of New York fashion, Diane von Furstenberg, splashed her runway with brilliant whites and light greens paired with beige. All can be found at post-summer sales and repurposed for next year.

1. Shop Sample Sales

Search for sample sales in your city for a chance to score current designer looks for a fraction of the cost. For those who don't live near a big city where such fashion sales are abundant, don't stress. You can shop flash-sale websites like Gilt Groupe, which feature designer duds for 50 to 70-percent off. Returns are accepted on most merchandise, but make sure to read the site's policy before making the purchase so you don't get stuck with ill-fitting goods.

2. Consignment Shops

Second-hand stores dedicated to designer fashion are popping up in many major cities. You can also find gently used fashion online at Plato's Closet, where you can sell your undesired clothes as well. As with traditional retailers, consignment shops are selling off last summer's clothing and accessories. Personally, I love scouring the racks at thrift stores. I've found a black Betsey Johnson cocktail dress for $10 and a black Rachel Pally maxi dress for $3 - both were like new!

3. Use Coupons

Don't dismiss the cost cutting potential coupons offer. Even high-fashion retailers these days rely on money-saving vouchers to attract new customers.

4. Swap

Coordinate a clothing swap with friends or coworkers. Or try swapping clothes and accessories online at such sites as Rehash Clothes.

5. Follow the 30/70 Rule

Maintain a wardrobe that's roughly 30 percent trendy and 70-percent staple pieces that won't go out of style. You then won't feel the need to restock your closet every season but can still mix and match to recreate the latest looks.

6. Department Store Designer Finds

More and more high-fashion designers are collaborating with department stores and discount retailers to offer exclusive and affordable collections for everyday women. Check out Simply Vera Wang at Kohl's and Lela Rose for Payless to find the styles you crave and prices your wallet can manage.

7. Nix the Dry Cleaning

Avoid clothing that requires dry cleaning and, if not possible, buy products you can clean with the popular dry-cleaning pouches you just pop into your dryer. While it's not exactly dry cleaning, the result is the same.

8. Rent What What You Can't Buy

When it comes to a special event, the most affordable and practical options for finding designer frocks is renting. Some sites offer current season fashion from over 95 top designers at 90-percent less than retail prices. Simply choose a dress or piece of cartilage jewelry you wish to wear and return it after the occasion.

Black Friday Sale at SummerSox and Giveaway

2011-11-25T10:31:00.000-06:00

Prize: 10 winners will receive a pair of Summersox of their choice.

Entry Limit: Daily (this excludes bonus entries, except for tweets)

Note: You can list bonus entries separately or all in one entry - your choice!

Buy 4 Pairs and Get the 5th Pair for Free and 30% off in the Holiday Sale Exp. 11/26/11

FASHION FORWARD: Many of today's styles for both men and women demand that no-sock look. SummerSox are completely flat and topless. You wear them under your feet, not on them.

YEAR ROUND COMFORT: When the weather is hot, men and women alike can't wait to ditch their socks and stockings to wear their favorite summer shoes and sandals. But the problem with going barefoot in your shoes is that your feet start to sweat, slip around and worse - they start to smell. When the weather is cold, stockings and thin dress socks leave your feet feeling cold and damp. Pizzo Innovations' patent pending SummerSox are the perfect solution to these seasonal problems because they provide a soft, comfortable layer between your feet and your shoe insoles that allows them to stay cooler and dryer in the heat and warmer in the freezing cold.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT: We all know that good shoes are an important investment in your wardrobe. By wearing a fresh pair of SummerSox in all of your favorite shoes, you will help extend the life of your investment by protecting the insoles and keeping them free of bacteria and odor.

HOW AND WHY THEY WORK: Because of their unique topless design that covers only the bottom of the feet, they can be worn with out being seen and still give you the benefits of a sock: dryer, cleaner feet and longer lasting shoes. They are made of a thin, soft fabric that slips easily into your shoes or sandals and are specially designed to stick to your insoles. They stay put all day until you take them out and throw them in the wash to use over and over again.

GREENER BY DESIGN: Because they can be washed/dried and re-used over and over again, SummerSox are a much greener option than clunky, disposable shoe inserts.

Dr. Scholl's Shoes Review

2011-11-24T10:08:00.000-06:00

The Dr. Scholl’s name has been shown through research to have 97% consumer brand awareness, and is trusted by 3 out of 4 people. The brand often evokes nostalgia for consumers through iconic footwear styles such as the Original Exercise Sandal, which helped shape the footwear trends of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Easily identified by its buckle and wooden sole, the sandal returned to fashion again in the ‘90s, appearing on runways, in Vogue magazine and on Sarah Jessica Parker in HBO’s "Sex and the City." The design continues to be a staple in the wardrobes of the most discerning fashion elite.

Trusted for more than 100 years to provide people with foot comfort and health, Dr. Scholl’s Shoes is now embarking on a new chapter in its history with the introduction of fall styles that even better address the needs of its active consumers. The iconic brand has been reimagined to offer both the proprietary comfort technology Dr. Scholl’s is known for, combined with modern, handcrafted styling.

The Dr. Scholl's Women's Interest Boots ($118.99; available in Dark Tan, Black, and Dark Grey) that I received are compellingly charming and chic. These knee-high boots feature pleated embellishment on the sides and at the cuff, round-toe silhouette, low stacked heels, and flexible soles.

The Dr. Scholl's Women's Interest Boots are supremely comfortable as they are fashionable! The boots run true to size, but I recommend going a half-number up if you wear thicker socks during the winter. They also have an authentic leather appearance, but most can rejoice at the fact that these boots are made of faux leather. The quality is excellent so far, because I'm usually hard on my footwear. I'm not searching out for piles of snow or puddles, but I will walk through it if I must. These boots have held up wonderfully!

Romwe Review

2011-11-18T10:53:00.001-06:00

Romwe offers the most desirable and unique clothing that will help you stand out amongst the crowd. With timeless inspirations in mind (Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, and Joan Crawford), they also offer vintage pieces. All of their vintage clothing is handpicked with care for its style, wearability, and quality. Each item is unique, and comes with an individual history specific to the piece, giving it a personality beyond what modern clothing could dream of recreating.

Romwe offers Free Worldwide Shipping (no minimum required), has Weekly Deals, and will give you an exclusive 20% off coupon code when you sign up for their newsletter!

Like them on Facebook and follow them via Twitter to keep up with the latest deets.

I had the opportunity to don their Retro Pleated Style Black Shift Dress and ($33.99) and Classic Vertical Stripes Tights ($15.99). Unfortunately, the dress and tights that I received are no longer available in their store. However, both are very much similar to the Retro Pleated Style Cream-Colored Shift Dress (Reg. $33.99 Sale Price: $30.59), Retro Pleated Style Red Shift Dress ($33.99), and Vertical Stripes Tight (Reg. $20 Sale Price: $9.99). Many of their items sell quickly as they come in. That's why it's a good idea to buy something as soon as it catches your eye, because it could be gone by tomorrow!

While the Retro Pleated Style Black Shift Dress looks good on it's own. I layered it a black, embellished, angora sweater by Twiggy and cinched it with a belt that goes with another dress of mine. I also paired it with my favorite heels by Iron Fist Clothing, the Wolfbeater Platforms ($45), which are inspired by the legendary Wolf Man. You can get a closer look by clicking on the picture above.

Holiday Budgeting 101: Tips to Keep Over-Spending at Bay

2011-11-08T12:38:00.000-06:00

It's time to pull back the spending reigns and prepare for holiday gift expenses. During a time when most shoppers are reducing their spending altogether, it's especially important to make a realistic budget for your gift list.

While the following tips are intended to help you manage holiday spending, many are applicable to saving money all year 'round.

1. Make a Budget!

The National Retail Federation's (NRF) 2011 Holiday Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey reported that holiday shoppers plan to spend an average of $704.18 on gifts this season, representing a slight decrease overlast year. Making a budget is a no-brainer, but challenge yourself to go under budget this year. Track your spending using the Toshl app to keep tabs on what you're shelling out and how much you have left.

2. Cut Down on Dining Expenses

'Tis the season for holiday dinners at expensive restaurants, but this expenditure is the last thing your budget needs. Replace the annual white-tablecloth celebration with an intimate gathering at home. Guests can bring a dish to share and everyone can comfortably converse without interruption from servers or obnoxious patrons.

3. Refrain from Personal Purchases

This one is tough during a time when bargains abound, but it's especially important to avoid making purchases for yourself when you still have people on your gift list. That same NRF study reported the average consumer will spend approximately $130 on gifts for themselves. Imagine the dent you could make in your recipient list using that cash.4. Reduce Everyday Costs with Resourcefulness

The toughest part of budgeting for holiday gifts is not letting it eat into the money required for everyday items, including food. Consider developing a menu for the week to reduce unnecessary food purchases, and use websites like Gojee.com to develop dishes around what you already have in your pantry. When you do head to the store to stock up on provisions, arm yourself with printable grocery coupons.

5. Trim Your Gift List

The spirit of the season often yields never-ending gift lists, especially when you're surprised by presents from people who didn't make the cut. Trim your gift list to essential recipients and come up with inexpensive tokens for everyone else. Homemade goodies, cards with heartfelt wishes and offers of service (babysitting, for example) are great options for neighbors and coworkers and can be produced last-minute.

6. Research Gifts to Find Best Bargain

Santa never misses the mark by making a list and checking it twice, so take a hint from the jolly man in red and do the same.Once you develop a list of essential recipients, bargain shop for gifts before making your final purchase. It's tempting to get all your shopping done over a weekend just to get it out of the way, but doing so means missing out on bargain-rich opportunities.

7. Know Return Policies

Retailers tighten return policies around the holidays, so be sure you read the fine print before making a purchase. Price matching is all the rage these days, too, so it pays (literally) to know a store's policy on compensating shoppers who find better deals elsewhere. Walmart recently announced it will provide gift cards in the amount of the price difference, and Bed Bath and Beyond will even price match items found on Amazon.com.

8. Shop Early...and Late

With all the advice circulating about when to land the best deal, it ultimately pays to shop throughout the holiday season. Make a game plan for Black Friday and Cyber Monday purchases with these do's and dont's, and don't forget about Free Shipping Day for last-minute items. The one-day online event is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 16 and features free shipping offers from over 2,000 merchants with delivery by Christmas Eve.

9. Pay with Cash

It's not easy sticking to a budget and the holidays make the task even more challenging. Paying for purchases with credit cards is risky since the "I'll pay for it later" mentality breeds over-spending. Opt to pay with cash and experience your hard-earned money disappear from your finger tips. This sight alone will make you think twice about unnecessary or overpriced purchases, and help you stick to your budget.

Dominion 'Lara' Women's Tall Shearling Boots with Suede Lacing Review

2011-11-03T22:40:00.000-05:00

Dominion is a unique brand of handcrafted footwear and apparel that delivers the encompassing, enduring luxury of sheepskin and leather by carefully blending fashion and function. Dominion uses materials which include the very best, genuine twin-faced sheepskin, renowned in particular for its breathability as well as super-soft lambskin, shearling and the utterly divine Toscana fur. Dominion is responsible for producing some of the finest clothing and footwear made in New Zealand. All Dominion of New Zealand products are backed with a full manufacturer's warranty.

I know that I'm not the first one to say it, nor am I the last one that will say it, but I hate Uggs! I'm well aware that they're utterly comfortable, but they're so plain looking! As a service to womankind and for your consideration, I recently found the most stylish alternative, the Dominion 'Lara' Women's Tall Shearling Boots with Suede Lacing (Reg: $299 Sale Price: $239.20). Not only are these one of the most fashionable winter boots, but they're superbly comfortable. I probably wouldn't take these off on a sub-zero day, not even for bed. They're that comfortable!

These tall sheepskin boots are made from genuine twin-faced sheepskin upper with 5/8 in. - 6/8 in. wool. With its removable cushioned sheepskin insole, spilled wool edging on side seams and back tops, and front ties, it ensures superior warmth and comfort with style and class. The PVC side-stitched sole has a strong heel with a carefully fitted reinforcement making each step in these boots an incredible experience, each and every time. These boots are currently available in Chestnut, but I'd love to see them expand their color line with other basic colors such as Grey and/or Black.

I'll be honest and admit that I wasn't a fan of the Crocs brand at first. However, they're surprising me more and more each season with their new styles. They have come a long way! I received the cutest pair of black mary janes over the summer. These shoes were one of the most comfortable shoes that I've ever worn! Crocs recently let me have the opportunity to pick out something from their Fall collection. I opted for the Cozycrocs Fuzz Booties in Stucco/Espresso (also available in brown/black; $99.99), because I love wearing boots in the Fall. Also, I thought these were a bit different than anything I've ever worn before.

I was a bit leery about how I could pull this unique look off, but I couldn't have been more pleased with my selection! The Cozycrocs Fuzz Booties are the coziest and most comfortable boots that I have in my boot collection so far. I love the versatility of these boots. They're great for a casual outing, trekking the outdoors, running errands, or lounging at home. I enthusiastically look forward to wearing these boots this winter!

Pan Am Stewardess Costume Idea

2011-10-25T16:23:00.000-05:00

Embody the glamour of a Pan Am stewardess this Halloween inspired by the new ABC drama series, PAN AM!

The iconic blue stewardess uniform and accessories -- which radiate a sexy, professional yet fun vibe – have become instantly coveted by the public due to the show's success.

UNIFORM:

· Blue Suit with a Jacket and Skirt – The “Pan Am Blue” is close to a Royal Blue. Suits can be found at your local thrift store. If you’re handy, you can tailor your jacket to make it fit your ladylike figure and shorten the sleeves. Similarly, the skirt length is acceptable just to your knee.

· White Collared Shirt - Spread the collar over the lapel of the suit jacket.

· White Gloves - Gloves should reach the middle of your arm. Opera length gloves are too long. In a pinch, use shorter gloves, not longer ones.

· Nylon Hosiery - In the ‘60s, hosiery was not as sheer as today. Emphasize that you’re wearing hosiery by wearing a less-sheer style.

· Short-Heeled Black Pumps - The stewardesses of Pan Am were on their feet all day, so find a sensible, lower heel.

· Pan Am Wings Lapel Pin - A pattern is available for you to download here. Simply print it out, cut it carefully and attach it to a piece of heavy paper or thin cardboard (like that of a milk carton). Then, affix a safety pin to this and wear your wing on the left side of your jacket (over your heart).

· Pan Am Stewardess Cap - A pattern to create your own paper cap is available for download here. There’s a pattern for the Pan Am cap pin provided as well.

· Pan Am Flight Bag - If you haven’t yet ordered your own bag, you can create your own by modifying a bowling bag or other similar large bag.

HAIR & MAKE-UP:

· Hair is worn up in the style of the 1960s above the shoulders.

· Make-up is light, “daytime” make-up. Make it authentic by wearing the official shade, “Persian Melon” by Revlon (shade 585).

White Apricot's Green Grab Bag Review

2011-10-25T06:45:00.000-05:00

White Apricot, a site known for their eco and socially conscious fashion, beauty, and lifestyle finds; recently introduced us to their new web-site, Green Grab Bag. For just $15 a month (shipping is FREE!), they'll send you travel size products of the best natural, organic and vegan skin and hair care, make up, fragrance, and much more!

For the month of October, we received a bevvy of cool samples. We weren't disappointed with them in the least.

Here's a sampling of some of the products that we received:

KESU by TSI-LA - this is a beautiful fragrance that can be used by a man or woman. I usually don't like warm and woodsy scents, but this one managed to capture my attention. It has notes of warm amber and precious rare woods, which are combined with smokey incense to give it a seductive and mysterious base. It's also layered with narcotic jasmine petals, davana, exotic spices, and fresh lime.

Vapour Beauty's Aura Multi-Use Blush in Spark - I was pleasantly surprised to get a full size product (a $28 value), because I love their products! However, I never tried out their blush until now. I like it much better than the blush that I was using, because this one looks more natural.

Holly Beth's Eye Cream - We have worked with this company in the past, but never reviewed any of their products before. I can't vouch on the effectiveness since I haven't used this eye cream for long, but I really like that it doesn't sting or burn like most eye creams do. It's a bit oily. Therefore, a little bit goes a long way if you want to avoid the oiliness.

Collective Wellbeing Corrective Cleanser in Oatmeal/Raspberry- I never heard of this company prior to this, but this is a really good cleanser! It provides soothing relief for irritable skin. My skin is very sensitive and breaks out easily. I've realized that not cleansers are good for my skin. Therefore, I have to be very careful about what I use on my face. So, it's a relief to find good products like this!

Scrubz Body Scrub in Citrus Burst - I'm shamelessly addicted to using body scrubs. Not all scrubs are the same, though. I have used really good ones, and I have used ones that weren't so good. Luckily, this one is really good! I received a good-sized sample of this product. I'm tempted to buy another once I run out. Not only it pampers my skin to perfection, but it also has a really beautiful fragrance. While the citrus is detectible, it smells more floral, which I really love!

Aftershock

2011-10-24T20:34:00.002-05:00

In tune with the latest trends on international catwalks, Aftershock celebrates the season by focusing on its strengths - quality and fabulous style. Tailoring is key for winter; the mood is all about ladylike elegance and easy-style glamour . The woman incorporates key pieces as part of their lifestyle. With the same free spirit, they mix the feminine classics and add a touch of glamour from the Autumn/Winter 11 Collection.

The New Perception

This season, Aftershock re-invents the classics. This collection means business, updating the mainstay pieces found in every modern working woman's wardrobe.

Nostalgia for the 1950s reigns supreme with the influence of TV's Mad Men series. Full skirts and fitted bodices emphasize this hour-glass figured collection. A true homage to femininity as it complements all figures and sizes. Tweed jacket and skirt options are updated with a twist and can be paired with fine jersey tops. City smart looks include neat fitted suits, pencil skirts, mini skirts, sleek trousers and fine knitwear.

Colours range from blues to blacks embellished with an Oriental themed influence.

Retro Chic

A nod to the 1970s formality from day to evening with a contemporary edge of no nonsense clean lines. Emphasis is on cut to evoke a sleek styling whilst maintaining a feminine attitude. Colours range from neutrals to black working with camel as the key colour. Heavily embellished styles with burnished metallic trims take the day pieces into evening. Add a satin sash around the waistband for instant glamour or opt for gorgeous sequin trousers to style with knits. Sequin skirts are styled with New Perception tweeds with faux-fur accessories.

Winter Scarlet

Red as the red rose, Winter Scarlet heats up Autumn/Winter 11 with the most striking and influential colour of the season. This true glamour story takes no prisoners as this striking colour takes its form in various styles and fabrication for a high end glamour collection. . The range features both mini and maxi dress options. Red ruffle detailed dresses are flirty and fun with frills falling from the hem and shoulder for a ravishing party look. Pair it with red satin high heels for a perfect finishing touch.

Leopard & Lace

Italian glamour goes wild this season with the mixing of animal prints and the eloquence of lace trimmings. The silhouette is body conscious and emulates the style of Sophia Lauren, famous for her curves as well as her acting career. Colours stay true to the natural animal skins working back with the contrast of the black lace. Romantic lace trims are also applied to luxury maxi dress styles. Style with chunky costume jewellery to make a statement this season.

Susan Goldstein, the founder of Boogs Bracelets, was inspired to launch her web-site when cancer hit closer to home in 2009. Boogs is a nickname her grandfather gave to her mother, Maureen, when she was a little girl. Since she started this journey because of her mother, it was only fitting that she named the business after her.

When Susan's mother was fifteen, she had thyroid cancer, which was wrapped around one of her vocal cords. Because of the cancer, she endured surgery, many months of treatment, and the loss of one of her vocal cords. She went on to live cancer free for over 50 years. In June of 2009, her mother, was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Susan started making bracelets at this time since she wanted to make something that would honor and support her mother during her illness.

In September of 2009, after her mother died, she decided to make and sell cancer awareness bracelets, with colors that represent the top 8 cancers that women are at risk of developing. A portion from the sale of each bracelet has been and continues to be donated to cancer charities.

Iron Fist Clothing Review

2011-10-21T11:26:00.000-05:00

The idea started in San Diego, California in 2001 amongst two friends from South Africa, Mike and Travis. With a long history in skateboarding, surfing, art, music and street culture the guys wanted to create clothing they couldn't find anywhere else. They wanted to return to the energy and brand attitude of the rebellious years, when skateboarders lived on the streets and mohicans would get you kicked out of Disneyland.

Born out of simplicity and Iron Fist's first retail outlet, the trunk of Travis' car the brand was well received by a then starving youth culture who were bored of traditional action sports and streetwear brands. No market strategy and no big budget, Iron Fist started selling by itself on product and artwork alone.

Iron Fist is by no means an ordinary clothing brand; its artwork and styling have set it apart from many of its streetwear counterparts. They started making clothes because they felt like it. Iron Fist is impulsive, raw and unapologetic. Within their clothing you will find outbursts of obnoxious color mixed with raw and dirty tattoo inspired street art. Refusing to be pigeonholed into a skate, punk, hip hop or tattoo genre, Iron Fist has grown from strength to strength purely because of its diversity and constantly innovative approach to each season.

You don't have to be a dominatrix and crack the whip to wear the Ladies Mean Steak Zip Leggings ($35), but you can most definitely show your daring side! These leggings craft a svelte and sleek silhouette. Plus, they're utterly comfortable! The side zippers add bit of an edge. Pair these with their out of this world heels and you'll be the talk of the town!

The Ladies Wolfbeater Platform Pumps ($45) are one of my top favorite heels. These Wolfman-esque peep-toe pumps feature a horrifically beautiful and artistic design; a soft black velvet insole, red velvet heels, and a black bow on the back to give it a sophisticated touch. I like that they're different from everything else out there. If you don't mind standing out amongst the crowd, these shoes are for you! They're surprisingly comfortable and a definite conversation piece. Pair it with the Ladies Mean Steak Zip Leggings ($35) for an even edgier look.

I will definitely be purchasing shoes from this company in the future. I have my eyes on the Limited Edition Moonshine Zombie Stomper (Glow in the Dark) ($45), Number of the Beast Platform ($45), and Zombie Stomper Platform ($45).

The Ladies Sing Away Bow Back Top ($30) features a beautiful and unique illustration of a girl singing to butterflies. The fabric is soft, thin, and form-fitting. The icing on the cake is the back of the top. It has a semi-open back
and features a black bow with a skull charm.

Ladies Digi Skull Boot $80

Ladies Madam Butterfly S/S Tee $30

Ladies Limited Edition Moonshine Zombie Stomper (Glow in the Dark) $45

Ladies Ave Maria LS Woven $40

Ladies Samhain Wedge $40

Ladies Zombie Chomper Handbag $40
