Favorite Fashion Friday #9



My favorite look from last week came from Kelsey of Ladies in Navy.  I love the pastels and the turquoise mixed together.  It could also be that I really love ice cream sandwiches.

Look What I Got Link Up: Bar III at Macy's

This week I don't  have an outfit post to share, but I do want to share with you my discovery of Anthro look-a-likes hiding out in Macy's in the Bar III line.

What I Wore Wednesday: Double the Necklace, Double the Fun

Blazer: Lauren Conrad for Kohl's (worn, similar) | Jeans: Lauren Conrad for Kohl's (similar) | 
Necklaces: J. Crew Factory & Banana Republic (worn) | 
Bracelets: Sira and Mara & Bauble Bar (worn, similar here) | Glasses: Coastal.com




So, we started stacking our bracelets.  It's only logical we started stacking our necklaces.  It's a good old fashion neck party.  I feel like the "party" fashion fad is just a way for retailers to get me to buy more.  Touche retailers, touche.  I am totally into stacking any accessories you tell me to.  I do only have 2 holes in each ear though, so hopefully ear parties won't become a thing.

In the Caboodle: Spring Fever Vox Box


I am always excited when Influenster sends me a box of beauty samples.  Well, I am excited when any one sends me a box of beauty samples.  I won't lie.  I love trying new beauty products...especially when they are free.  This box was chock full of goodies.

imPress Broadway Press on Nails:  I am not a fan of press on nails.  They make me think of my mom in the 80's.  However, since this is a review, I decided to try them out.  Well, I put one on my pinky nail.  It's basically a thick plastic nail shaped sticker.  It felt weird on my nail, so a few minutes later I tried to take it off.  And I ripped the top layer of my nail off.  It appears as though press on nail technology has not improved.

Secret Outlast Clear Gel Deodorant: I'm already a Secret deodorant user, so I was pretty confident I would love this product.  And I do.  It lasts all day, just like my regular old white chalk deodorant, but I didn't have to take a mid-morning bathroom break to clean all the hidden deodorant marks on my clothes.  Yes, I am incapable of putting on clothes without getting the white deodorant streaks all over them.

Schwarzkopf Professional Osis+ Dust It Texture Powder: This is the second time I have gotten a texture and volume powder in a sample box...and I just don't see it making any difference in my hair.  

Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes in Reese's: Ok, it's not a beauty product and it did not go in the Caboodle.  It went into my belly...immediately.  And the best part of it is that the Scot hates peanut butter, so I got this all to myself.  

NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balm: I really really liked this balm.  Once I got over the fact that it did not smell or taste like apples, I was able to evaluate it.  (But seriously, it's called Applelicious, it should freakin' taste or smell like the name implies).  Any way, it's really smooth and moisturizing and I really liked the subtle red color.  It's nice for a casual look because it gives a relatively natural color and doesn't have any sparkle or glitter in it.

Have you Heard of Pose?



So you wore a great outfit today, but only your fashion-illiterate co-workers saw it?  I got tired of this, so I started a fashion blog.  However, that's a lot of work.  If you just want a quickie fashion diary that connects you to other fashionistas, then you should join Pose.  
Screen shot of my Pose feed.
It's an online (and mobile) platform for fashion and beauty available on the iPhone, iPad and Android devices (i.e. to everyone).  In simple terms, it's like the Instagram of fashion!  Users upload outfit and other fashion-y photos, tag the items in their pictures and share them with the community.  With thousands (maybe even millions) of users on Pose, there is never any shortage of fashion inspiration.  You can follow some of your favorite fashion bloggers and brands like Man Repeller and Ann Taylor... and of course me!  
You can view your feed in single pictures (like Instagram) or in a grid (like Pinterest).  I prefer the grid because I can quickly scan through outfits while I am on the go.  It's super easy to get started.  Just download the app, create an account and start uploading your outfits.  You can upload right from your phone or from your computer.  
So, look me up on Pose and we can start sharing fashion secrets!

Disclosure:  This is a sponsored post.  The only compensation I received for this post is entry into Poses's contest for a chance to be featured in Pose's weekly emails.  All opinions are 100% mine.
