Mary Jane (in my Rick James voice)

Mary Jane (in my Rick James voice) by mamafashionist1 featuring high heels

I think my first pair of legit high heeled shoes was a pair of Mary Janes: they were black suede and patent leather, done in the style of an oxford/wing tip. They had this great chunky, stacked heel and I just knew that I was grown up when I wore them. I LOVED those shoes! Unfortunately, they were lost by Delta Airlines en route to Chicago, along with another pair of my all time favorite shoes-another pair of Mary Janes. These were a little taller, and infinitely more sophisticated; t-strapped faux alligator print in a gorgeous cognac brown. It's funny-I lost a lot of things in that debacle, but the only items I still remember (and this is over 15 years later) are those two pairs of shoes. C'est la vie...

Get the Look with John Frieda: Kate Beckinsale at the Total Recall Premiere

John Frieda's Frizz Ease Serum has been a Holy Grail item for me since I discovered it in high school-I've had the chance to try many similar serums, but NOTHING comes close to the sleek finish and frizz control that his Serum provides.

August Julep Maven "It Girl" Box- A Chromatic Anniversary Celebration

My August "It Girl" box from Julep just arrived and it's my favorite one yet! This month marks Julep's  year anniversary, so they sent out an extra special box...

Sometimes One Color Does NOT Fit All: dr. brandt signature BB Cream with Flexitone

I'm a fan of BB Creams in general- I like products that serve multiple purposes and though I want my skin to look flawless, I still want it to look like skin, so the concept of BB Creams are right up my alley. I've only tried a couple different ones so far (Garnier's and Smashbox's; which I raved about here), but I've been very pleased with the results and as always, I'm interested in finding out what else is out there to love.

Hawaiian Shores Collection from Avon

This summer I am trying to live a life at the beach, vicariously through my beauty products. If it promises to give you a beachy glow, sun kissed color, surfer girl chic hair, or smell anything remotely oceany or tropical, I'm all about it! So it should come as no surprise that I was super interested in Avon's new Hawaiian Shores Collection.
