until i learned of STOLEN RICHES laces, designed by my hubby's friend, the dashing and dapper  David Barclay.

next :: they are wicked and i need them in ever color.

how :: a pair in florescent orange (with signature metal tips) were sent to my hubby to try out. i immediately coveted them.  stole 'em right off his desk. if anyone needs fashionable men's laces, it's me! 

exactly :: they are clearly not just for me.

now :: i need them in every color as my shoes look lifeless without them.

SEE THE LIGHT WITH JOSIE MARAN’S ARGAN ILLUMINZER

March 22, 2011

­­

                                          ArganIlluminizer

Josie Maran’s latest Argan Oil infused skin solution

$28

WHAT ::  An ultra-light skin-illuminator with a hint of bronze.  Gives skin a bright, radiant, lit-from-within glow.

WHY :: Created with a blendable serum-like formula, it works to brighten and bronze skin with a universally flattering glow, while natural Argan Oil conditions and restores, diminishes dark circles  and creates a  noticeably rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.

This is super-duper-glitter-shine-bronzeee.  A dab is all you need.  Feels amazing, just be careful that you go lightly with this.  It feels incredible, hard not to want to use as an all over moisturizer – but you'll look like a Christmas tree.  The illuminator is not actually glitter of course, it's just super highlight speckled, so go easy.  Mix it into moisturizer, sun block, foundation for that extra lift – that glow that makes you have that radiant from within THING.

ABOUT ARGAN OIL: From her cult favorite tinted moisturizer to her must-have mascara, Josie Maran formulates products in her naturally luxe, “chic-ological” line with Argan Oil, Morocco’s legendary skin-soothing, complexion-clearing cure-all. An antioxidant that acts as a free radical scavenger, Argan Oil protects the skin from even the most aggressive effects of the environment. Rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, Argan Oil has been shown to minimize fine lines, restore elasticity, improve skin tone, reduce inflammation and protect the skin. Gentle enough to use on all skin types, Argan Oil tones and firms as it hydrates and nourishes.

Free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes and phthalates.

 $28

            Natasha just wrote me with a Crazy Covet::

I’m totally obsessed with Jagger Edge – and now Shop Bop is, too!

Check out Los Angeles-based Jagger Edge on ShopBop.com. They made the editor’s picks! I recommend rocking the floral leather and the Montana studded iPhone cover. A girl can never have too many choices.

And how sick their iPad cover?!

I wouldn’t dream of using anything else.  I’m ordering mine today before they sell out!
