Why Don't You...?

♥…go bananas? Devour Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas for breakfast; indulge in Banana Split Cake for lunch; and for dinner there’s truly nothing more decadent then Elvis Presley’s Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich. Darlings, fruit has never before been so fabulous!

♥…devote an entire week to standing tall by styling yourself in a different pair of sky-high stilettos for a full seven days?

Tightwad Tuesday: Haute Hippie Jackson Stripe Tank Dress on a Dime

Dolls, to your left take a gander at Haute Hippie’s gem known as the Jackson Stripe Tank Dress; to your right feast your eyes on The Gap’s Striped Long Racerback Dress.

Though the gray stripes on the gorgeous Gap piece are ever so slightly paler in hue than the ones found on the Haute Hippie style; for a mere $49.50, as opposed to the $315.00 asking price of the hot Haute Hippie, it is every bit as capable of fulfilling your need for a striped maxi for the summer – at a price that’s impossible to refuse!

Is today the day for you to please the big spender within; or will you play it cool and be thrifty?

Sunday Steals: Rebecca Minkoff Supernova Stud Devote Handbag for Less

Darlings, to your left you will find Rebecca Minkoff’s stellar Supernova Stud Devote Handbag, the very same design seen dangling from the arm of Molly Sims, Lauren Conrad, and Whitney Port; to your right you will find the haute High Fashion Handbags Studded Shopper with Buckles.

While the High Fashion Handbags pretty is constructed out of manmade materials as opposed to the true leather of the Minkoff marvel; for just $39.90, in comparison to the petrifying $695.00 price tag of Rebecca’s ravishing tote, it is every bit as satisfying to the handbag collection of the frugal fashionista – and allows for the budget babe to pick up all three colors (black, cognac, and red) for under $120.00!

Are you having a tightwad moment darlings, or are you plagued with a craving to splurge?

Smitten Saturday

♥Loungewear is for Lovers…because a gorgeous girl needs loungewear that is just as glamorous as the style she displays when out and about; such a feat is possible with Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie. Kimono Style Robes, Tanks and Lounge Pants, and even boho Headbands. You’ve got the luscious loungerie; now all you need is a cute boy to pop in for a visit!

♥Puppy Love…because having a sweet tooth isn’t solely a trait associated with the fashionista; her furry BFF is just as deserving – and desiring – of a sugar rush every now and then…so indulge him with Puppy Cake! Unlike typical dessert mixes, Puppy Cake is a cake mix created especially for pups – so it’s equal parts healthy and scrummy! Tell me darlings, will you be indulging your pooch with Fifi’s Favorite Carob Cake Mix and Frosting or Buddy’s Best Banana Cake Mix and Frosting?

♥Friends ‘Til the End…because glamorous girls stick together – even when they’re fictional. This Wednesday, July 14, 2010, join Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell, Gossip Girl author Cecily von Ziegesar, and Commencement author J. Courtney Sullivan at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square (NYC) for a little gab about summer love, friendship, and a brief Q&A session. What would you love to ask these fabulous ladies, dolls?

♥Pencil Me In…because coffee is far more fabulous when it’s proffering a splash of fashionable finesse to the drinker; a la the sassy designs one can create with Coffeestencils. Choose the moniker you desire for your morning cup of Joe – I’m partial to Heart 3 myself; fire up the coffeemaker, and get to creating! Which Coffeestencil do you want to see decorating your beverage, my loves?

♥Hint, Hint…because dealing with annoying individuals on an almost-daily basis is just one of the many obstacles a girl must overcome in life; now, however, you can inform your acquaintances of their obnoxious quirks via Gift-A-Hint. Sick of working with a hypocritical backstabber? Gift them with the Fake giftset. Tired of your BFF’s downer ‘tude? Hit her with the Negative Nancy giftset. You’ll find a collection of prezzies for every personality type you encounter. Which one will you be splurging on, kitty cats?

What were you smitten with this week?

Twist and Shout Giveaway

Darlings let’s admit it once and for all, the only thing more important than the cute boy in our life is how the cute boy in our life smells. One wants a scent that is captivating and pleasing to the senses; a fragrance that lingers in your memory long after the person wearing it has vacated the room. AXE’s new Twist product is precisely that.

Available in the form of an antiperspirant invisible solid, deodorant stick, deodorant bodyspray, or shower gel; AXE Twist was created with input from Ann Gottlieb – the brainchild behind Calvin Klein’s Eternity and Obsession – and features a blend of lime and citrus flavors with sandalwood and cedar undertones, the absolute perfect blend for a sultry summer scent for the boy in your life. But perhaps the most redeeming quality is the fact that, unlike many fragrances that are made specifically with male or female in mind, AXE Twist features an androgynous ambiance that makes it perfect for your cute boy or yourself.

Now that I’ve tried AXE Twist myself, I believe the time has come for you to try it; thus the reason why five (5) of you glamorous gals will be taking home an exclusive AXE Twist Pack – which includes the AXE Twist deodorant spray, deodorant stick, and antiperspirant stick all packaged in a Swiss Army brand toiletry bag – to keep for yourself or give to the cute boy of your choice!

I will randomly pick five (5) names out of a hat (who knows, one of them could be yours!), and announce the winners on Saturday, July 24, 2010.

Good luck everyone!
