i had a (shopping) dream

Last night I had a shopping dream: I was in Philadelphia (!) shopping on Rodeo Street (?!?) and going in and out of this humongous shopping mall (like I would have the energy for it right now...)

I usually have very vivid dreams, but now that I am pregnant they are more vivid than ever!

Back to the dream: I knew I was pregnant, because I went to a baby clothing store and looked at these adorable ruffled dresses, but then I went back to the mall and I kept returning to one specific article of clothing, and I really wanted to buy it, but there was a voice inside of me that kept telling me: "you don't know if you'll ever fit in one of those... ever again"...

You want to know what I was looking at?

At this!!!

A denim corset!

I've never worn a denim corset in my life!

Of course, now that I am carrying a watermelon with me wherever I go, subconsciously something is wondering if I'll ever be able to get rid of the excess belly once the baby is born.

So I guess this was a subtle way of my inner bitch to get in touch with me...

double giveaway: getting ready for summer!

Now that we are wearing more t-shirts and sleveless shirts, and hopefully soon, more tank tops and bathing suits, what is one of the most important part of your body that needs to be impeccably smooth? Your underarms!
To help you achieve this goal, I want to tell you about a new deodorant from Dove: Dove Visibly Smooth.

Not only it does its job with 24 hours odor and wetness protection, but this deodorant will keep you stubble free longer! With moisturizers and ingredients specifically used to minimize the appearance of hair, in a few weeks you will have softer and smoother hair! And who likes to spend all that time shaving any way?

I have a sample to giveaway to one of my readers, so if you post a comment on this post letting me know how much you hate shaving, I will enter you on the giveaway.

Also, the first 20 readers to post a comment will receive a coupon for $2.00 off the purchase of a Dove Visibly Smooth deodorant.

But it doesn't end here!

Since I've been a little sporadic in posting, I feel I need to spoil my readers some more.
So here I have yet another giveaway. :)

This time it's for your hair.

Again, with the summer around the corner, it's nice to put up our hair, especially when it's long. Sometimes we use rubber bands, sometimes hair clips, but a lot of times we don't really think about it too much, and just use whatever available in the bathroom drawer...

Well, while you can't really see what's in the back of your head, pretty much everyone else can! And you don't want to look all pretty head to toe, and then have some boring, if not old, hair clip adorning your beautiful hair!

Where am I getting at? I'm getting at Zannclips - aka spyralclips. :)




Here is an original way to put up your hair, and look absolutely gorgeous, especially if you wear one of the 24K gold or platinum plate ones! :)

Zannclips are coiled barrettes using a coating process that doesn't chip or flake off. They come in various sizes and colors, from neutral blonde, black and brown for every day use, to neon pink or green for those fun days at the beach!

The website has an instructional video to pick the right size and to show you how to wear them. They are guaranteed not to break (if they do, they will replace them or give you a refund).

To win a Zannclip post a comment on this post and just let me know that you would love to give them a try. It's that simple! :)

These giveaways will end next Monday, May 25th at midnight EST, and I will announce the winners on Tuesday, May 26th. Open to US residents only, sorry. :(

Good Luck!!!

fashion disaster - matching disaster

I don't remember the last time I saw pink socks being shown off so proudly.

And so closely paired with a sky blue skirt.

I'm not even sure how those socks are holding up! Mine would keep falling to my ankles... they must have some mean elastic bands...

Back to the picture, the backpack almost matches the socks. But not the skirt.

Gray is almost neutral, but it matches better the pinks than the blue, but this first cardigan is a little long, don't you think?

White goes with everything, so the second cardigan can stay.

And in case you are wondering, no, this is not a teenager student, I usually leave them alone, I let them be as crazy as they want to be fashion-wise.

This woman is a grown woman (that still dresses as a teenager). Not cool...

fashion success - subtle colors

I love this color combination of ivory and pale mint green.

I like how the shoes and the bag match, without being your usual black or brown easy combo.

Everything fits perfectly on her body and her hair is also nicely done.

This is a fashion picture perfect. :)
