Dolls in the City "The Experience Tour"

Hey all-

Last week during RVA Fashion Week (posts to come), I met Leslie Marie, owner/president of Doll Factory, LLC & Dolls in the City. She invited me to this amazing event hosted by Doll Factory, "The Experience Tour" that will take place this Friday evening, May 10th at 6pm-9:30pm at Art6 Gallery.

For those of you unfamiliar with these Doll Factory, LLC, is a company that currently offers natural cosmetics with expansion into a total lifestyle brand in the works.  Pucker Cake, the  headliner, is a collection of lip products created to be "caked" to intensify the color application without creating too much shine. 

Dolls in the City is a series of exclusive events offering savvy women an evening of all things dolls love; pampering, shopping, tasting, and sipping. Leslie promises a different experience as a guest at the Dolls in the City series of exclusive events.

I'll definitely be atteneding! && for one of my lucky readers, I have a FREE ticket. Let me know if you'd like to tag along with me! For additional info, don't hestiate to ask me or contact Leslie directly. Hope to see you all there!!

New: Marshalls

Hi all-

This past week has been insane, but so much fun. Between work, working out, RVA Fashion Week & dating, I've been so busy. I decided to treat myself to a mini shopping spree at Marshalls this morning. I got really lucky on my finds & wanted to share 'em with you:

Blouse: Cynthia Rowley

$19.99

I will pretty much buy anything Cynthia Rowley. It's just a cute flowy girly top.

Shoes: Sam Edelman

$45

When these Yelenta's first came out, I wanted them so badly, BUT disliked the $130+ price tag.

I couldn't resist these beauties on clearance for $45. Amazing deal!

Shoes: BCBG

$29.99

I know these are not fashion forward, but they are work appropriate. They're comfy & the fact that they're BCBG is enough for me.

Hairspray: CHI

$9.99

I've been looking for a voluminizing hairspray that won't make my hair hard. Hopefully this one will get the job done.

 

The total of all these items was just a little over $100. For the brands I got, I think this trip to Marshalls was extremely successful. Have you found any good deals recently?!

Tiffany

Review: Suave Moroccan Infusion & One N' Only Brazilian Tech

Hey all-

It's been far too long since I've done a product review. Today I'm actually reviewing hair products...

 I've tried the new Suave Moroccan Infusion line- shampoo, conditioner, shine mask & styling oil and I am very impressed by how soft and managable my hair has been. According to Suave, "The new Moroccan Infusion line from Suave Professionals® is infused with authentic Moroccan argan oil, a lightweight miracle oil that absorbs instantly and is known to give brilliant shine and long-lasting conditioning benefits." I would definitely recommed giving this shine suite a try because not only do the products work, but they are all affordable (the styling oil was the most expensive at $6.99, but I got it on sale for $5 at Target!)

I've tried almost every keratin infused hair product out there & was shocked to find a flat iron & curling iron containing it. The line, One N' Only Brazilian Tech, is a great one to try. I purchased both irons from Sally Beauty Supply- actually, I purchased the flat iron & got the curing iron for FREE! I got them both for $69.99, which is not bad for styling products. Since using both irons, I have noticed a slight different in the texture of my locks- definitely more touchable & soft. You can also purchase conditioning & smoothing products from this line as well that are infused with keratin. I don't have any complaints thus far with either iron. At such a low price, why not give it a try?

While I am unsure of which set of products to give credit to for transforming my hair into touchable goodness, I would recommend giving both Suave & One N' Only a try.

Have you tried any new hair products recently that you think we should all try?!

OOTD: Maxi & Faux Fur

Hey all-

A lot has been going on the past few weeks. Just last week, I had another birthday, which means my blog is 2 years old now. I also signed a lease for a new townhouse, which means, I'm moving again. And I've been working like crazy. Luckily, I had the weekend off to celebrate my birthday properly.

I wore this outfit Saturday for mimosas with friend who stayed with me all weekend. I hadn't worn this dress in a while & knew brucnching would be the perfect opportunity. Unfortunately, March Madness fans had taken over every place, sooooo annoying. Like, I don't watch basketball, I just wanted a few mimosas. Brunch was fun nonetheless & I had lots of mimosas.

Anyway, what's been going on in your lives?!

 

Outfit Details

Maxi: Mimi Chica via Nordys

Vest: Francesca's

Belt: Target

Bag: Louis Vuitton

Boots: Bamboo

Sunnies: Ray Ban

Watch: Michael Kors

Music Monday

Hey all-

Hope everyone had an amazing St. Patrick's Day. This year, I decided to spare my live (& dignity) & chose not to participate in all the drunken festivities. Which leads me to this song, I really like the message. It may be because my birthday is in two days & I'll be 25! No matter what happens, we should always live like we're young & have a good time. Enjoy the song!

New: The Limited

Hey all-

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I've been so busy with work- barely have had time to breathe, let alone blog. I thought I'd share with you two new items I've added to my closet. Last wee, The Limited had a 50% off sales on all tops & sweaters. Naturally I couldn't pass this up. I only purchased two tops. The first is a mint colored blouse. The item mint item I had previously was a belt & I really wanted another mint item, hence this shirt. I really like the 3/4 sleeves & the zipper in the back. The second top is the striped one. I've been searching for a striped blouse & this one has everything I was looking for. Both of these can be worn to work, which is also a plus. Have you caught any good sales recently?!

OOTD: Faux Fur & Leopard

Hey all-

I wore this a few months ago to meet a girlfriend for drinks. I love this blouse, it's sheer & has gold buttons. Of course I can't turn down an opportunity to wear my beloved faux fur vest. The leopard was the final touch to this ensemble. I think it turned out great! Would you wear faux fur, sheer & leopard together?!

Blouse: Tramp via TJ Maxx

Vest: Francesca's

Jeans: J Brand

Booties: Charlotte Russe

Watch: Michael Kors

Sunnies: Ray-Ban
