Cropped Up But Coverd Up

Hello dear avid readers! I'm not quite sure what happened to my rss feed but I am definitely looking into it. Also I know I haven't been posting every day or other day but due to family issues it has taken some of my time away but I will definitely be back soon full force! Today is all about crops. Not pants or capris but jackets and coats. Fall is here and we need to wear a jacket but don't want to look bulky and uncomfortable when the weather warms up mid day. I am here to tell you that you can still look fashionable and sexy while doing it. Yes it's possible. Here are a few of my picks that I ran across and really love them. First we have the Latte by Coffeshop rust plaid wool cropped sleeve coat at ShopStyle found at Bluefly.com. Originally $147 it is currently on sale for $124.95. This is perfect for your all American girl. This coat is stylish and chic. Pair this with a fitted tee or sheath for the perfect look.

6pm.com is one of my favorite sites. I was able to get the coveted DC Chalet boots last winter from 6pm.com for $35! Now you know that was a steal for those boots. You can get designer brands at a fraction of the cost here. Often they run sales on a particular brand that is up to 70% off MSRP. This Christin Michaels Carrie Double Breasted Jacket in Ivory says that you are a power player. The design of this jacket entails three-quarter sleeves, a vented back and a funnel collar. Elbow gloves, long sleeve top or arm warmers set the stage for success in this ensemble.

Last but not least you set the stage in this Alice + Olivia "Luiza" Leather/Ponte Motorcycle Jacket. It can be found at Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale's. Rock on and demand to been seen. No fears and no worries. Shoulder pads and uneven hem will set you apart from all the cookie cutter wanna be's. Only the confident chic will be seen in this. Pair up with some skinnies and stilettos and hit the town. The options are endless to a cropped jacket or coat. Pick yours and be glamorous. XOXOXOX

What Can I Use Vaseline For?

What can we use Vaseline for? Hmmm. This age old fight will never fail about using petroleum jelly and the pros and cons? Our forefathers and parents grew up on this stuff and it never hurt them. My mother used it on me regularly until I was too grown for her to slather me down with it and I must say I have beautiful skin. I myself have used Vaseline for various beauty rituals along the years with positive results. Too many times we want to buy, buy, and buy without looking right at home in our medicine cabinets. I have used Vaseline on my teeth while photo shooting and yes you can do that. It has been done in the industry before. I have used Vaseline on my eyelashes to keep them moisturized. Many people including myself have purchased Talika Lipocils, Sherani Lash Conditioner and countless other lash conditioners. It is especially good for after showering or bathing to apply a good amount to feet and put in socks overnight. You will wake up smooth and heavily moisturized without that greasy feeling. As I was researching on more ways to use Vaseline I ran across a post on http://www.christinaloves.com/. I can't think of another way to say it as well as she does so check her out and get grooving for cheap and look like a million. XOXOXO
