JPG for Target



Now lately, Target has not been on my list of best pals. However, I will overlook the past issues in anticipation of Jean Paul Gautier for Target!

I wasn't sure what to think of those dress, but I knew I wanted to see it in person. I was pleasantly surprised with how the dress fit. It ran a bit big so I probably could have gone a size smaller. It was a tad sheer.. but this was probably the piece our of the entire collection that I could see myself wearing in my everyday life.
Jean Paul Gaultier for Target® Striped Tank Dress - Navy/French Cream
$34.99

Jean Paul Gaultier for Target® Strapless Cloque Dress - Black
$59.99


I was very pleased with the detail and the construction of this dress. Really, really cute. The only thing that was a turn off for me was the nylon material. Like the floral dress below, I don't want my clothes to have a wind-breaker feel.



My local Target didn't have this jacket for me to try. Totally disappointed!
I would love to see pics if anyone was able to snag it.
Jean Paul Gaultier for Target® Stained Leather Jacket - Brown
$199.99

Jean Paul Gaultier for Target® Rolled Collar Floral Dress - Pink
$39.99
I was most disappointed with the material of this dress. I think anyone who buys this piece online is going to be surprised with what they receive in the mail. The dress is made of nylon and has no lining. It is quite sheer, and has the feeling of a windbreaker-plus, it makes a terrible nylon scratching noise when you move around.
I love the floral print, but this was a no-go for me.

These are my dressing room pics:



This is the only piece I left with. I can't wait for the warm weather to arrive!

Got to have Faith!

Okay so I don't watch the Rachel Ray show everyday. But her show did inspire me to post this necklace picture this morning. I noticed the necklace she was wearing on her show this morning and that it looks very similar to a faith necklace that I carry. I haven't seen it in person yet, but I definitely think that it needs to be added to my inventory.

Just in Time for Valentine's Day!


Click the image to view in a new window (gives you a much sharper image) Enjoy!

I have been a consultant for f.a.i.t.h jewelry since shortly after graduating from Texas State University in 2006. This is only a little sample of the jewels that f.a.i.t.h. carries. It has been a really fun way to earn a little extra money. I always get compliments when I am wearing it, and its fun to share it with because f.a.i.t.h isn't as well known as some of the other jewelry companies. Look for more f.a.i.t.h. jewelry updates coming soon!

Basics 101

So I am sitting here with my morning coffee watching a Rachel Ray segment on the best basics to have in your wardrobe. Some of the staples in my wardrobe matched the Rachel Ray segment, but I thought I would expand on it just a bit. First things first!

Underoos
These are absolutely the best pair of undies you will ever own! I have moved from Victoria Secret to Gap body back to Victoria Secret but no more my friends. These Hanky Pankys ARE the best thing in my wardrobe. Everyone feels a little bit better is great fitting foundation garments. When I got married, I put together a fun gift bag for all of my bridesmaids and every single one has come back to tell me what they are hooked on these undies. They come in amazing colors and prints. They have an amazing website and they are on twitter, which I love! Guys, think Valentine's Day?? They are one-size-fits-all, she will LOVE them.

Cole Hann Nike Heels
Now I have completely been spoiled by these puppies! No longer so I wish I would have brought my flats to change into. These fabulous pumps from Cole Haan have Nike technology in the soles to keep each step as comfortable as the last.
These are one of the top 3 investment pieces you must have in your wardrobe.
I have these:Cole Haan
$278.00

Hanes V-neck Tshirts
These are another one of my favorite key items for my wardrobe. I LIVE in these. These white t-shirts come in a pack of 6 or 8 and they cost $8 or $10. My girlfriends get inexpensive dye at the grocery store and make them in all sorts of colors. I haven't ventured to do that yet, but its on my to-do list. The fit is outstanding! They don't pull, or lose shape. They are so comfy and so versatile. I wear them casually with jeans and a sweater or dressed up to go out with layers of long necklaces and skinny jeans. You must, must, must check these out. I love them!

These are a few of my favorite things!

Hi Gals!
I love these products with all of my heart and I decided they were worthy of a blog post. I know, I'm excited too! Enjoy!



I'm Bringing Velcro Back!
The first product that rocks my world is my new set of Velcro rollers! These little gems have been such a time saver! After getting out of the shower & blow-drying my hair, I throw in the two largest sized rollers. I start with the crown, then move to the front pieces, then to the back. They leave my locks voluminous and perfectly sleek and styled without taking the time to heat and style with a curling iron, hot rollers, or straightener. After the rollers are in place, I do my make up & coffee, then remove the rollers and I'm ready for the day!
I purchased my rollers at Target for less than $12.





GloMinerals = My Heart
Now I am guilty of falling into the same boring make up habits. I usually wait until I am running low on foundation to think twice about switching it up. And since this happens to be the current situation, I went over to Lynda Fisher's Hair Studio to get matched with Glo-Minerals make up and I am so glad I did!

My must have basic glo-minerals products are...




gloFace Primer-
This silky, clear primer is applied before foundation and had a smoothing effect on my skin and kept my make up on my face all day-a rarity!
$23

Glominerals.com








gloPressed Base-
I have always been a liquid foundation kinda girl and I have to say I am changing my ways! This pressed base comes in a mirrored compact and is applied with a foundation brush or kabuki brush. (I just learned what that was) What I love most about this product is that you can build the amount of coverage you need. I could go on and on about this little treasure so do yourself a favor, and check it out for yourself at glominerals.com. $39




My splurge item is....


gloDust 24k in Silver- This is a very fine shimmer powder that has endless possibilities! My make up artist Victoria, dusted on a light highlight above my cheekbones and a little dab in my tear duct areas. This added a little something special to my everyday look. It was so appropriate and polished for everyday and this product can enhance all of the shades of blush/gloss in your current makeup arsenal. This is definitely a product I am looking forward to working in to the mix. Available in Bronze, Gold, & Silver.
