Yummy Item of the Day: Floral Sweater Earwarmer.

FLORAL SWEATER EARWARMERS.
Yes my lovies, Winter is just beginning and the days are getting shorter & colder, often leaving you feeling blah and ho hum. But don't worry I found the perfect accessory to keep your precious little ears all toasty while still remaining stylish! Urban Outfitters is just the best! They have a soft knit sweater material earwarmer with a large floral detail on the side. How cutesy is that? Need some variety? The earwarmer comes in three shades ; raspberry. snow. and black.

Yummy Item of The Day: "Makeup Not War" Tee.

MAKE UP NOT WAR, STUPID.

I haven't done a "Yummy item of the day" in a few days which a couple of you readers have been asking me about! Guess you guys like seeing the items I randomly stumble upon in my daily fashion browsing, lol. Anywho, there's a uber haute women's streetwear line, DimePiece which creates some fantabulous graphic tees & more recently hoodies in their collection. For the winter season, the ladies of DimePiece are serving up an exclusive limited edition t-shirt just in time for the holidays and it's stamped with a great message! "Make Up Not War"! Peep the design on the shirt! It's too fierce, right? I love the lipstick theme. Pure Hauteness. Just a heads up - There are only 100 of these tee's being made. Visit www.dimepiecedesigns.com to get this tee & while you're there check out the other haute tee's from this season's collection + past collections! ;)

Yummy Item of the Day: Nylon Street.

STREET STYLE IS THE BEST STYLE.

I just can't get enough of seeing street style. It's so refreshing. It's amazing to see how many different types of styles there are out there from person to person - near and far. So inspiring. I came across this book today called Nylon Street. Nylon is one of my new favorite magazines. This book full of nothing but photographs and shows you style from all over the world and even offers a quick blurb beside each photo telling you a small tidbit about the photographed street style star. I say if you're a current or apsiring fashion stylist, wardrobe consultant, fashion designer or simply just love FASHION - this book is a must have to add to your fashion encyclopedia. Go and get it, like NOW. I got it from www.modcloth.com in their bookstore section. Happy reading lovies.

Yummy Item of the Day: Coach Legacy Striped Tote.

PUT ME IN "COACH" I'M READY TO PLAY.

I must admit I've never really been a fan of the COACH brand (yes I'm sure I'll get crucified for that admittance lol) But I have been paying much more attention to the brand this year. I actually just browsed through a COACH store two weeks ago and I was impressed, just didn't have the funds to grab anything! Darn, that credit card for coming so late. Anywho, I'm glad that they're finally stepping out of the fashion box to expand their collection with more than just their signature purses. But what would COACH be without their bags? Which brought my attention to this striped tote bag. I've always had a love for stripes. The colorful palette on this tote is simply superb - and the gold metallic trim isn't a bad touch either. I also found a wallet with the same stripe concept. Oh-so-chic! So why not go ahead & get both? ;)


Coach Legacy Striped Tote----$298.00
Coach Legacy Striped Framed Slim Envelope---$248.00


EXTRA BITE....
This COACH tote a little too pricey for you? Don't worry I found some cheaper alternatives for you lovies!

Yummy Item of the Day: Max Factor Vivid Impact Highlighting Mascara.

I THINK I'LL TAKE SOME HIGHLIGHTS PLEASE.

Hi lovies! I have a yummy new makeup product for you today as the yummy item of the day. Yes, this is not a beauty/makeup blog but I believe makeup is apart of FASHION and I loveeeee me some makeup. Makeup is art. Fashion is art. You get it? Fashion for your Face! Makeup can at times be your best accessory. So I was reading the latest issue of Cosmo yesterday (with my girl Beyonce on the cover) and I always look at the AD's first for some reason! I came across a fantabulous one - it was Max Factor's new product with the beautiful spokeswoman Carmen Electra and she looked absolutely amazing! Her face was BEAT honey. I thought I was looking at a high fashion AD for a second until I read that the product was actually Max Factor's new Vivid Impact Highlighting Mascara! How genius is that? A double sided mascara. It not only lengthens and volumizes your lashes but it also gives them a pop of instant COLOR! I'm totally sold on this product. This mascara is perfect for glamming your eyes up for the holiday season - since you'll want to be more dramatic than usual I'm sure. And today is payday too? I will be running to my nearest Walmart to snatch up this mascara! ;) Will you?

(FYI: You can also get the product a tad bit cheaper at drugstore.com)

EXTRA BITE...

As a little bonus, in case you want to pick up this lovely mascara, I'm gonna give you guys some tips on how to wear it. Make sure you save it to prevent walking around looking like a clown gone wrong!

How to Apply

-Apply the basecoat from the very base of the top lashes to the tip, working the wand outwards.
· Wait for the basecoat to dry (Note: if you don’t wait for it to dry the highlighting top coat won’t show up as vivid and will blend with the basecoat as opposed to highlighting lashes)
· Apply the top coat on the very tips of the top lashes and on the bottom lashes to create a highlighted look with a shot of color.
· Apply a few coats of top coat from base to tip on lower and upper lashes for a lot of color
· Apply topcoat on lower lashes only to create a multi-dimensional lash look.

Wearability

· For green or hazel eyes – try Burning Bordeux shade to make the color of eyes pop
· For blue eyes – Try 24 Karat Brown to make Blue eyes pop and add a light, gold tint to lashes (need to emphasizes gold lightens lashes)
· For brown eyes- All shades work, especially the black and pink combo to make eyes pop
· For all – The most versatile is the black/silver combination when applied correctly above.

YUMMY ITEM OF THE DAY: ERICKSON BEAMON PING PONG BANGLE.

THE SQUARE BIZ.

Square shape bracelets are nothing new to the accessory scene, but they have been seen more recently on the arms of several celebs this year. I came across this square shaped bangle by Erickson Beamon and i loved it. I loved the jeweled tone colors & the crystal decor. This bangle would look fantastic stacked with solid colored bangles or it's even gorgeous enough to stand on its own! As you may have noticed, the embellished/jeweled trend is still going strong. Will it last for 2008? We'll have to see about that. Until then, if your fashionable fingers feel impulsed to splurge on this blinged out bangle - head on over to net-a-porter.com and charge it baby. The bangle will cost you $510.

YUMMY ITEM OF THE DAY: SATIN & VELVET CLUTCH.

WHAT IS THAT VELVET?!

Hey my wonderful lovies! Hope you all had a great weekend - I sure did! It was full of lots of e- holiday shopping and partying. Anywho, since the holiday season is fastly approaching us, I will be featuring alot of holiday posts in the upcoming weeks to get you in the holiday spirit! In the meantime, I have heavily been searching for the perfect holiday dresses and accessories to wear to those many holiday parties this season. I decided to focus on accessories first- which are always a first for me. I came across a oh-so-chic clutch today from Banana Republic that immediately screamed HOLIDAY GLAM at me. It's a beautifully polished satin clutch with a dainty velvet bow in the front. I love it. It's the perfect must have accessory for your upcoming holiday ensembles! The clutch is available in two colors - red and black. The sticker price is $68.00.

YUMMY ITEM OF THE DAY: LANCOME PRECIOUS CARAT LIPGLOSS.

GIVE ME DIAMONDS OR GIVE ME DEATH.

PRECIOUS CARAT Lip Gloss Jewel - $40.00

At first glance what would you think this item above is? A rare jewel diamond perhaps that costs almost as much as a pair of Louboutins & a Balenciaga bag? Well, you'd be close - but no stiletto. This is actually a brand new lipgloss offered by Lancome cosmetics. The container shaped like a precious cut diamond is actually made of Swarovski Crystals. On the inside, prepare to open up to a transparent gloss with a bit of sparkle that can be worn alone or with a lipstick for that jewel-like finish. This precious jewel will run you $40 - kinda pricey for just a lipgloss but hey it surely beats going bankrupt to get the real diamonds right?

Extra Bite..I also stumbled across some Dior lipglosses who have simliar jewel inspired cases!

Dior Pretty Charms - $55.00

Jeweled Makeup Necklace - $90.00
