Eat all the foods you love to eat and still fit into your skinny jeans. Author of Hungry Girl ($11) Lisa Lillie gives quick and easy recipes to foods like: nachos, peanut butter fudge, burgers, onion rings so you can indulge without the bulge.
A pretty and delicate “tie-neck” blouse (&69) from Banana Republic. I love the bright green color, really perfect with a black suit or jeans.
I love finding unique accessories! Pieces of Me Pendants custom-makes cute necklaces out of recycled Scrabble tiles! Order one of the pre-made designs or even place a custom order (location, name, word, photograph). Also, right now all pendants are on sale for just $5, and buy 2 pendants and get 1 free. My faves: the owl and blue bird, but there are lots great ones so take a look!
Most of us wonder why, no matter what time we go to bed and wake up, we feel tired and barely make it out the door in time. Usually that is because your alarm goes off in the middle of the “deep sleep” part of your sleep cycle. Sleeptracker ($175) is a wonderful new alarm clock (worn as a watch) that monitors your body to make sure you wake up when you are in the “most-awake” part of your sleep cycle. Once you set its alarm window, it monitors your body and continuously looks for your optimal waking times so it can wake you at just the right moment. Great for travelers too!
An old-fashion spectator shoe ($55) (two-tones and considered a dress shoe) with a modern twist. These kitten heels have a slightly pointed toe and polka dot cut-outs, these beautiful shoes are great way to make a black suit come to life.
Nothing beats the summer heat like a big scoop of ice cream. Jeni’s Ice Cream, based in Columbus, Ohio, has to be some of the best I’ve ever had after ordering from a food network recommendation. The best thing about their operation is they ship everywhere in the US! The have spruced up old classics like “Maker’s Mark Buttered Pecan” and “Honey Vanilla Bean”, and totally new flavors like “Queen City Cayenne” (Condensed milk chocolate “Cincinnati style” with cayenne and cinnamon). Get there signature 9 (bestsellers) or create your own 7 pack!
If you are looking to get a new laptop bag or a great tote for travel then look no further. Careerbags.com has a great assortment of laptop bags (choices from 12” to 17”), travel totes, and messenger bags. I really like this Casauri 15” computer case ($80). It not only has this cool retro pattern, but is made of water-resistant material.
Great little modern jewelry box! Works as decoration in your bedroom and a great way to get all of your bobbles an bits together in an organized fashion. The “Lux Jewelry Box” ($89) from West Elm has a smooth lacquer finish with natural linen lining. Comes in silver, ivory and yellow.
Bathing suit season is upon us. Bliss Spa’s “Fat Girl Slim” ($29) is a slimming body cream that stimulates circulation. How it works: made with caffeine and QuSomes (a proprietary delivery enhancer that helps penetration), this rich cream helps smooth the skin as it firms, trims, tones, and energizes. So give it a couple weeks and it should make your skin tighter and reduce cellulite.
Negotiating skills is something I think every working girl needs to read up on. It can be easy to put it off and talk yourself out of going through a confrontational negotiating process, but sooner or later we will all have to go through it. Authors of “Ask for It” ($17) Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever offer a four-phase program, backed by years of research, that will help you identify what you’re really worth, teach you your bargaining power, develop the best strategy for your situation, and manage the reactions and emotions that may arise.
A little bling when you are sipping your drink by the pool. I am not sure why by for some reason I find these “Cool Jewels” ($6) jewel shaped from CB2 ice cubes adorable.
I am all about changing makeup with the seasons. Stila’s Summer Eye Shawdow Palette ($40) has a nice combination of metallics and soft colors for the summer. The palette includes shades Ray (shimmering golden copper), Mystic, (shimmering aqua blue), Kitten,(shimmering nude pink), Wheat, (pearlescent beige), Prize, (soft gold shimmer), and Sun, (shimmering golden peach).
A great cropped blazer from JCrew that can be used for work or play. This metallic jacquard ($268) was inspired by a vintage swatch and custom-colored just for JCrew. I love the gold and lime green combo!
Put your hours of gaming into a workout! Wii Fit ($90) comes with a pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board which you can use with other players to experience an extensive array of exercise, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and balance oriented games. Great features like you own personal trainer and the ability to track yourself against other users are promised. Cheaper than a gym membership, will roll out mid-may and you can start pre-ordering today! Via
I am pretty excited about spring finally arriving and the bright colors that are soon to emerge. This Bella Laptop Bag ($75) is great if you are looking to liven up your accessories for spring and you will certainly never lose it in a crowd of laptop bags! Made with japanese softtouch koshin and has a fully padded computer compartment along with several single pockets for pens/cell phone/planners.
