Wildly creative depiction of a woman's life from the point of view of her wardrobe. I expected it to be really superficial and choke on European designer labels but it was surprisingly humble. As a matter of fact, the most noteworthy name (imo) mentioned is Marimekko. The wardrobe sees its owner through many periods of self-loathing and depression but ultimately they find fulfillment and an unconventional degree of success.

I bought this for my daughter (it was her idea). I hoped it would promote saving, but like many of us, she hits the ATM til it's empty, LOL.

I remember when I used to scoff at skin-firming lotion. Now I'm a devout user. You can't just use this stuff without a small lifestyle change and expect magic. I haven't started working out religiously but I use this and massage the trouble spots with a loofah daily and I have seen a difference.

I wore this dress to work today and got several complements on it. Added bonus: it is very comfy (and hides "food babies")

This stuff is THE GUTS, accept no substitutes because they either won't work as well or will burn your eyes out.

I have an affinity for yummy-scented body butters. This one was an affordable sub when I ran out of Jaqua Buttercream Frosting.

I can't remember the last time I spent more than $50 for a handbag. I am just not seduced by them, but this cutie pie caught my eye. Who am I to reject such a hot summer handbag with that sexy woven leather that hearkens to Bottega?
