Zappos Love

I drug my sniffling, hacking self home today, only looking forward to a steaming cup of tea and my neti pot.  To my surprise, there was a Zappos shoe box waiting on my dining room table.  It was 6:30pm at this point and I had just ordered them at 7pm the night before!  

Did I pay an exorbitant shipping fee, you ask?  Why no, it was actually completely free!  I thought it would take 3-5 days, but they sent an email saying I had been "upgraded" to overnight.  Love that!  I know they do this quite often and it's a marketing ploy, but I'd say it's a good one!  

I've bought a few pairs of shoes from Zappos over the years and I've never been disappointed.  Even if I didn't like them, returns are just as easy as purchases.  So thank you Zappos for some cheer in the midst of a lot of phlegm.

Fashion Schizophrenia

I love Fashion Week!  Woohoo!  I fully admit to my wholly girly-girlness, but Rag & Bone and Proenza definitely had some pieces I covet.  What were your favorite shows?

Alice + Olivia and 3.1 Phillip Lim remain my favorite suppliers of party dresses.  I'd like to own the entire DVF collection.  Marc Jacobs, sadly, wasn't my favorite.  The snakeskin boots at Burberry Prorsum??  Hello, lover.

My favorite collection was Carolina Herrera.  If I had the bank account of my fellow Texas Alum, I too would wear Carolina Herrera as much as possible.  Her clothes are so feminine and ultra luxe.  I also happened to LOVE the makeup.  It was Dynasty-fab!  

Here are some of my favorite looks... check out Style or Elle for all the shows!

Help

Glad to see the fashion industry (and my employer) stepping up to help with the devastation in Haiti.  You can purchase this t-shirt from many different retailers for just $25.00 and all of the net proceeds go to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

NeuLash(ES)!

I am happy to report, my neuLash appears to be working!!  Unfortunately, I had a hard time getting a good before picture, so I can't really show you.  But I can definitely see a new row of little lashes sprouting and a bit of length added. 

My friends at work have been having even better results.  No less than two of my co-workers have actually had to trim their lashes because they're getting so long.  I was with my friend at Mico last week and a stranger even commented on her lush lashes.

According to the March issue of Glamour, lash growers definitely work...with Latisse bringing the fastest results at $120 for 3 ml (plus a prescription).  A little pricey.  The good news is, L'Oreal just saved the day and created L'Oreal Paris Concentrated Lash Boosting Serum.  Quite a mouthfull but also quite a bargain at $15. 

 Here's a neuLash before and after...
