E.L.F. Cosmetics: Only a Dollar! August 11, 2008

Click to get cosmetics for only a dollar!

Yes, it’s true! You can get make-up, nail polish, and more for only a dollar! I don’t know the full story, but what I heard is that Nordstrom bought E.L.F. and are now repackaging the line. Now they’re trying to get rid of the old stuff by selling it cheap. This is good for you!

They are also selling items such as body butter and make-up cases for less too, so make sure to get there before it’s all gone. I think you can even use a coupon code, CAROLINA, for extra savings.

Go shop!

Summer Clearance at Delia’s! June 25, 2008

Summer Essentials, Part 3: Skirts June 9, 2008

Skirts are adorable, girly, and flirty. They can be casual or dressy, and look cute with a lot of different shirts. So snatch up some cute skirts for your summer wardrobe!

I love long and flowy skirts for summer. They’re especially girly and make a very bold statement. If miniskirts are more your thing, then go with those.

To wear a longer skirt, first find the skirt you like. Then look for a shirt that matches it. I suggest a plain tank top or t-shirt. Try to add a corresponding necklace, bracelet or earrings. Don’t overdo the accessories!

Summer Essentials, Part 1: Bikinis and Tankinis June 9, 2008

Swim season is a nightmare for some of us. We’re not comfortable with our bodies, we don’t know where to get a cute swimsuit, we don’t want to spend much on one… the list goes on.

My suggestion: either find one swimsuit you really love and splurge, or get a basic, solid-colored bottom and various cheap tops with similar silouhettes and size to avoid tan-line fiascos.

Some of my faves:

I adore the little lacy flowers along the straps and neckline, and the print is cute and summery.

Best of all, it’s only $11.72 at Walmart.
