Now when it comes to Victoria's Secret, I have to say that the Pink collection is one of my favorites when it comes to lounge wear. My closet has nothing but the little pup on them (just putting it on lets my body know that I'm in lounge mode)! Pink has had various beauty components but its a recent organic line that I just received that has me excited! I received the Soothing Hand Cream which contains organic oat extract and the Soothing Body Lotion which includes organic shea butter! Obviously this collection has much more from body washes, lip balms, etc. But I love the fact that this is a green collection, natural, organic and 100% vegan! I was very excited to try this out and wasn't disappointed at all. I love the packaging as well as it's very simple and yet iconic with Pink logos on it! No animal testing was done within this collection and being a fan of cocoa butter and grape seed oil, this will become a favorite! I love that when applyting the lotions, its easy to administer and it doesn't leave an annoying greasy film on your skin. Your skin feels protected and it's great knowing that it's environmentally sound! Check out the collection for yourself and this will be heading with me on my vacation within a few weeks!
Now I am a huge fan of Victoria's Secret and Pink. I think it's a lot of fun and it's always a great place to go in terms of convenience but when you're talking about true lingerie I have to give much love to La Perla! But La Perla is much more than just lingerie it's also bathing suits as well. They know how to bring out the sensual and after taking my introduction to S Factor last night, I began thinking of sensuality and luxury in a new way. This Valentine's Day, I am making a pledge that I am going to remember that in the midst of the hustle and bustle that goes on in my day to day life, I will make sure to take out time for me to hear my own inner voice. Of course that will also include buying things that I enjoy wearing and not just items that are "convenient". La Perla is definitely something that I want to incorporate into my wardrobe and I may get a bathing suit to bask on the sands of the Dominican Republic next month. So for those of you that have half days and want to take a little stroll, head down to Soho to pick up a little something that will kick off your Valentine's Day and beyond (of course, even visiting their website transports you to another state of mind).
I love a good selection of bling and I am not afraid to say it! if you have seen me out and about, you know that I love those large cocktail rings and am prone to wear it with any and every outfit no matter how casual or dressy! I throw all caution to the wind and I love it! Well I love pieces that pop and glimmer and am such a fan of LOLA (Lots of Little Accesories) Jewelry. These are bold statement pieces that are not for the shy or faint of heart, I really love the Smoky Quartz ring and would love it to be in my collection but there are also other colors that also pop out and look just as amazing with all of the outfits that you are prone to wear. These rings are apart of the collection 'Pop Rocks' which is very appropriately named in my opnion. In addition, you will love other pieves such as these pink ribbon earrings! Not only do they look elegant but they still have a lot of bling that gets you noticed.
So you guys have heard me rave about Model Co! There is barely a day that goes by where I don't use the Illuminiser which creates a nice shimmer effect or the refresher which ensures that I have a great dewy look. Using both ensures that you have such a fresh scent that doesn't come off as something chemically created but as apart of your natural scent! Recently I received two items that I have found to be an absolute necessity - The Liquid Buds remind me of the Go Smile capsules that you can simply snap to move the liquid towards the much needed area. It's nice to have something compact that allows your lips to not only look amazing but to get nourishment as well.
Another item that I just received but will not try until this weekend are the Heat Caps. Simply put, the directions state that by wetting your face and applying the mixture within the heat caps, it becomes self heating and opens your pores and cleanses. I love that this is good for all skin types and in each box, there are 4 one time use capsules. This is definitely a nice way to pamper your face and to prepare it before you go back to the grind.
Finally, I am all about the Exfoliant Wipes. Who doesn't need a refresher whether you're leaving a meeting and heading somewhere else or you just want to make sure you smell absolutely irresistable. But even beyond smelling great, you're ensuring that your skin is the softest possible by taking off the dead cells. I love these and I think that it is a must to have and with that vibrant color, you're all set.
The pop factor of the products is absolutely amazing. It's girly to look at and yet so effective. I feel that there are so many amazing things that I would like to give 3 items to readers under the condition that you share your feedback about these items. It's like your Kitten Lounge Testers! We have 2 Tan Airbrushes in a can and 1 package of Tan Self Tanning Gloves with 4 wipes! This giveaway will definitely get you introduced to the product while also sharing your thoughts with others. We will run this giveaway from now until next week and all you have to do is say why you think that this should work for you! We will then have a round up after the first week of use and then over the next couple of weeks to get more feedback from you! In addition, don't forget about the other giveaway that is taking place on Kitten Lounge as well.
Designs by Lolita accessorizes the most significant part of your home - the kitchen and related areas! We all have various glasses that are our favorite whether it comes from Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, etc. Although I love these places and many times my table has been set with these items, it's nice to have something that catches ones eye due to it being something not found in these stores. Designs by Lolita is the answer! I love that from pilsners, martini , margarita glasses and so much more, so much care is taken in the designs of the themed glass, For example, the Pink Ribbon glasses where a portion of proceeds go to supporting the reseach of breast cancer glasses that are available January 2009 are done by hand as are every other item! You know my love for supporting indies and those items which are handcrafted. I also love the Halloween Martini glass as I am a huge fan of candy corn and think this would be perfect when you are having your fall festivities whether it is prior to or after Halloween! These pieces are perfect for your home and for those that are in Clearwater Florida from Oct 5 - 7th, Lolita will be at a signing for Macy's!
Part of the fun in between shoes is to sit back and watch others. As we were waiting for the Perry Ellis Show (my mom was my guest and it was her first show ever), we saw the Evian girls. I had actually received a tip that they would be at the show. Somehow, I thought they would be outside but since Evian is a major sponsor, it's not that hard to think that the girls would be at the tents. They served water on silver platters and ensured that we were all cozy. In addition, after the show, my mom and I were able to create our own Haviannas! After being in heels, my mom was so glad to wear these comfortable flip flops! There was also an area where the the Premium M&M's were sitting. I love these so it was nice to get refreshed by them.
Anytime I am stumped on a drink or simply want to try something completely new, I head over to Cocktail Times.com to see what amazing beverage they have! Today, I was on the hunt for something exotic and as always, they didn't disappoint! I introduce to you the Gvine Orchid! Not only does this look refreshing with the orchids being included within this drink that's perfect for the summer time or for a vacation but I love that it includes Champagne and also grapefruit juice. The citrus blend of this drink is definitely a refreshin thing! Below, I have included the recipe, let me know if you enjoyed this.
Gvine Orchid
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz G'vine gin
- 1 1/2 oz pink grapefruit juice
- 1/2 oz elderflower syrup
- 1 1/2 oz Brut Champagne
Garnish: orchid
Put the pink grapefruit juice, the elderflower syrup and gin in a shaker, add ice, shake and serve in a high ball glass. Before pouring the drink into the highball, add the Champagne so that it mixes with the rest of the ingredients. Garnish it with an orchid if available.
Today we are taking a bit of a breather since the week has been so busy! So instead of mentioning great places to get a drink or a way to make a new one, we want you to relax a bit and have something a little fragrant that you can enjoy in whichever way you decide to spend today! With notes of White Tea and Pink Peppercorn, there are definitely sweet smells to be had with the Hard Candy Fragrance and because of this, it was a natural choice in terms of our weeklong giveaway where 4 lucky winners will get to try this out for their very own!
Congratulations Dorian, Kam, Jennae and Michelle! I will definitely contact you individually but loved hearing about your favorite scents. It's amazing how many we go through and which ones we love no matter what. With that being said, I hope this is one that you will make a fave in your cabinets!
There's something about having cosmetics that work for more than one thing and when it comes to Posie Tint, this is definitely one of those! This must have cosmetic is the newest addition to the tint line which works for lips and cheeks and creates a nice pink glow to your look. If you're a fan of Benetint which had more of a red stain and is still available, you will love this one as well. In addition, you will receive a booklet showing how this can be used and how fab you will look. Check out this and more from Benefit Cosmetics, which I have been a long time fan of since college!
When I get my weekly mani's and my bi-weekly pedi's, there is only one place that I run to (I simply refuse to go anywhere else)! Dashing Diva has multiple locations all over New York City and they are definitely my sanctuary when I need a little time out! I love their pink colors, plenty of colors, fun events and so much more. I do enjoy going on Fri's to get my pedicure and manicures with a nice cosmo (I was also a huge fan of their wine pedicure as well) Recently, Kitten Lounge attended Dashing Diva's event which had the cast of Legally Blond the Musical in attendance doing a Bend and Snap competition. The pictures included below are courtesy of Sarah Conley which you can see more of her coverage on Style It! This location which was off of Union Square is my favorite one to go to! It was really cute to see the cast members together and to see the winners of the Bend and Snap competition!
Dashing Diva definitely loves the Kitten Lounge and its readers and is providing 3 Elle of a Pedicures (fit for Ms Elle Woods herself) which we will be giving away on this site on Fri the Fourth of July at noon! Getting a complimentary pedicure at the 3rd Avenue location (149 3rd Ave btwn 15th/16th) is definitely an amazing treat and a great way to enjoy the summer as well. To be one of the three winners, simply tell me your favorite pedicure shade (regardless of brand) as many of us go a little daring on our toes when it's the summer! All entrants must have access to NYC as it is valid here and all entries must be included as comments within this post. With so many shades, you're bound to find a favorite - my favorite "Chelsea in the Buff" or Vanilla -Rama (when it comes to mani's) and anything deep and vixen like when it comes to my pedi's.
Legally Blonde is one of my favorite movies. Some people like to draw parallels and although there may be similarities, the character is pretty genuine and is definitely a friend in deed. Now I have yet to see the Broadway production but I was on the website of my favorite pink nail salon, Dashing Diva, and I noticed something very interesting! They are running a deal that not only can you feel like Ms Woods herself and have a Legally Pink Pedicure (which seems amazing - I love going in every other week to get one done) BUT from now through Sept 7th when purchasing tickets for this production, mention DIVA and you will be able to see this show for a lot less!
Nothing is better than getting pampered Elle style and then seeing Elle in action with her cute pup Bruiser. Although I have yet to get this pedicure, I am such a fan of Dashing Diva and absolutely refuse to go anywhere else unless it's another one of their locations. I am partial to the UES but I love how relaxed and professional the staff is and how you have as much fun alone as you do with friends! Take some time to check out the site and the Legally Pink Pedicure Package and then to complete the whole experience - Legally Pink Special Offer. I may see you at the salon and again at the show!
Yes this is in Mingling Mondays because rarely do I go to Pinkberry and not see groups of people in a line laughing and talking - waiting to get in. Last week, I was reading NY Mags' Grub Street which I am a fan of and found out that yet again, that which we love may not be the best for us. I don't know if I ever assumed Pinkberry to be all natural but this amazing tasty treat apparently isn't the best thing to have. I can't say that I'm shocked but it definitely won't stop me from swinging by when it's gorgeous outside to have a small cup as I walk and enjoy the day. I have yet to try my green tea goodness with some of the interesting toppings they have; however, this summer this may be a possibility. In addition, I have even made my boyfriend a mini fan of Pinkberry which is yet another reason why this is included within "Mingling Mondays" - enjoy the day even though it is a bit gross outside!
I love Cherry Blossoms and I find them to be not only beautiful but relaxing as well! I love this time of year when they're in bloom and seeing the streets lined with the pink trees is absolutely breathtaking. You can have this sentiment year around as a skin for your laptop thanks to Skyn! They have amazing skins that are not only protective but they are also a great way to show your individuality! This bright color turns your favorite piece of technology into something that you'll enjoy looking at even when it is not in use. Of course, there are other skins and I do believe that this makes a great gift! Check out more items from this great brand and see what Skyn shows your personality the best!
I love the idea of presenting so many "citrus" oriented items to all of you. This citrus is more of an ode to grapefruit but is definitely something that I think is super cute with many of the flirty tops and dresses that we will be wearing as we head towards summer. These little leather clutches by Rebecca Norman are hand sewn and have this beautiful agate embellishment on each piece. If this pinkish/brown agate is not you, there are other embellishments that you will enjoy. I love this sense of natural bling and feel that this will look amazing with many of your denim looks and super cute heels. Check out more pieces from this designer to see what else you can expand within your closet!
I love when you have those amazIng sales during the winter that still allow you to increase your closet without having to sigh as you save these pieces for the summer. Urban Outfitters is currently having a sale on a variety of items which is perfect for you, friends and anyone else. I love this Lux Keyhole Sweater which is a great classic shape while also having a large keyhole. One of my favorite colors is the one shown here in pink which is such a great color. I also love the sleeves (we know how hot it can be in the office. In addition, you can also pair this with a great woven belt which is perfect to sling on your hips. This is perfect to pair with tights and boots with a great heel. If you're at work and need to cover up a bit, you may want to have a cute bandeau top or a nice tank top. Take some time to visit UO for more ideas that will make you and your home look amazing!
As you'll notice, the dust is beginning to clear on the site and you'll see that we're moving and grooving in the right direction. You'll be able to find what you're looking for much easier since each day is geared towards certain topics. Going forward you can look forward to each day - knowing what you can expect.
That being said, I want to share one of my favorite drinks - Pink 'The World's Perfect Party Spirit'. I love that Pink is infused Vodka (with caffine and guarana) AND that it the bottle is such a great color that lends itself to decadent nights out and cozy evening in as well. I love that Pink is a great drink that mixes well with many mixers that are typical of Vodka Beverages. My favorite drink when having vodka is Cranberry Juice and Vodka - pink's caffinated infusion guarantees that I will be out and about for quite some time as the evening turns into early morning. make sure that you look at all of the spirits that they continue to create.
