Retail Therapy

retail therapy

(makeup bag $5.50 & bracelets $2.50 @ Claire’s, bag $20 @ H&M, silky fuchsia scarf $8 @ Forever21, neon tank $12.50 @ Pacific Sunwear and tube top $10 on sale @ Victoria’s Secret)

I often find myself falling victim to retail therapy. Bored? Go shopping. Depressed? Go shopping. Broke a nail? Go shopping. It might not be a very smart or healthy habit, but it’s certainly a quick upper. Which is really what we all look for in life, right? I just thought I’d share some recent random finds for barely $60 total. I had to have the H&M bag the second I saw it and it’s becoming a favorite. Also, PacSun has officially jumped on the neon bandwagon and it’s fantastic. Love layering tanks & wrapping eye popping scarves around purse straps nowadays. Photo does the brightness of the tank & scarf no justice.

Jellio Cupcake Table

Jellio Cupcake Seat

The very pricey Cupcake Table & Seat by Jellio are adorably eccentric pieces to perk up the cupcake lover’s home. Both come in a plethora of colors. I would love to have the pink Cupcake Seat sitting out for decoration. Definitely an ice breaker for guests.

For those who prefer expensive candy over cakes, there’s the super fun Button Bench.

Gossip Girl on Rolling Stone

Gossip Girl on Rolling Stone

April’s Rolling Stone magazine features the cast of Gossip Girl. I’m loving the photoshoot with Blake & Leighton! …As if I didn’t already crave ice cream enough on a daily basis…

Stephen Sprouse for LV

Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton

I’ve been seeing Louis Vuitton‘s neon ads left and right. I finally checked out the website and am thoroughly impressed with Stephen Sprouse‘s graffiti/artsy designs. It’s a boldly creative breath of fresh air from the prim and proper norm of most big-time designer bags.

In Her Shoes

Christian Louboutin Platform Cage Sandal

$995 Christian Louboutin Platform Cage Sandals @ Neiman Marcus

As I picked up my much anticipated copy of Missbehave magazine with Katy Perry on the cover while at Borders with the boyfriend, an unfamiliar magazine called Surface caught my eye. The model on the cover was wearing these hot pink Christian Louboutin platform cage sandals and I got excited. So, I came home and browsed the internet for more fun strappy heels. So many shoes…so little money…

Teen Choice Awards

Teen Choice Awards '08

I’ve been seeing photos of Kristen Bell in her hot pink Jenni Kayne skirt around the net forever. Of course, I fell in love with her neon look. BCBG has a similar skirt. Upon discovering the photos are from last year’s Teen Choice Awards, I browsed through other starlets’ attire and found two other looks that I fancy right now. Very appropriately stylish for summer. Scarlett Johansson wore a classy and fun Matthew Williamson dress. As I’ve previously stated on my site, I adore Matthew Williamson’s designs. And Blake Lively wore a sexy one-shoulder dress by Tadashi Shoji.

Sidenote: This year will mark the 10th anniversary of the Teen Choice Awards.

Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty

Beauty sleep is something we all need, but rarely ever get nowadays. Life is too hectic, stressful and short to just get an amazingly full 8 hours of sleep every single night. I would be lucky to get 8 hours one night a week. Not because I’m too busy, but because I’m an outrageous insomniac. I have been for years. My doctor told me it’s probably a cycle that will never be broken. At least I grew out of sleepwalking. According to mother, when I was younger, I would sleepwalk into my sister’s room to sleep on the floor or would wonder into the kitchen and place eating utensils in the fridge. I’ve tried pretty much everything known to man to get better sleep, aside from resorting to prescribed sleeping pills and ancient voodoo rituals. So, I’ve come up with a few little relaxing remedies that actually work for me since my ever so cozy bed doesn’t seem to be enough.

Obviously, blocking out early morning light is a big help. That’s where this Holly Golightly eye mask comes in. Or having black curtains, such as myself. I’ve found that doing word searches, like reading a book, puts me in a very relaxed state of mind before bed. Soft, dreamy Trip-Hop music such as The FLIR & 8mm (♥) is extra soothing to quietly play throughout the night. And the scent of lavender helps induce sleep. Whether it’s candles, lotion, whatever. I really like the Bath & Body Works lavender vanilla aromatherapy collection, which was a gift from a friend. Discover what works for you!
