wearing: the american apparel wear-it-a-million-ways dress. It’s so very versatile. I need to buy another one.

listening: A super sexy mix my friend Carissa made me.

celtic tunic

I know that Mexican tunics are all the rage right now, but I love this Celtic-inspired one from Gentle Fawn.

It’d be a great coverup for the beach.

Only one extra-small and small left! $44.80 from $56

Get it at Plasticland

a little sexy: cut-out swimsuit

28A0EEFA-902F-4072-B644-EAC964369864.jpg

You have to look good to have this swimsuit, but it’s so hot that I had to post. One piece swimsuits get a bad rap, but they are equally sexy, like this one.

£ 24, in black and blue. Sizes 8-16.

tasty treats: popcorn truffles

Is your Mom a muncher? Grab her some POP, little gourmet popcorn bites. Check out the strawberry ones above. They have bits of strawberry and are covered in white chocolate. I could bit into one right now.

You can also get her a little assortment pack, just like the Whitman’s Sampler, but way tastier. This is about 15 steps above the popcorn balls at the fair.

Grab some pop for your mom

lust: chelsea ruffle tank

0BDC2716-9BBC-4BB8-9659-F1117B66DC4F.jpg

Anyone that knows me in real life, knows I have a soft sport for tuxedo shirts and ruffles in general. This silk tank is right up my alley.

I love the mesh straps.

In nude only. Sizes 8-14 (UK). £150

Get it at asos

look for less: gigantic cocktail ring

5-4 ring.jpg36D2E1C7-620D-42A4-B450-CEB86FADC384.jpg

See the ring on the right? It’s a David Yurman ring and costs $975. It’s a gorgeous cocktail ring.

See the ring on the left? It’s about $400 cheaper and from Nomination. I actually like the simple lines of thing ring more.

They’re both Blue Topaz and both will probably weight your hand down, but you’ll look awfully good.

makeup: the video that de-mystified eyeliner

I’ve long loved mascara, but I never liked eyeliner. I wear contacts, so the leftover stuff always got in my eyes, or it got all smeary or I looked like a freak.

But this video, by the great Michelle Phan, changed my mind. I found it over at Beauty Gizmo.

good sale: origins friends and family

5-1 origins sale

I made a promise that I’ll be buying as green as possible for the next year or so, and that extends into my makeup as well. Origins is a great green-ish company (they could do better).

No matter what you think of their green efforts, the Friends and Family sale is totally worth checking out. It ends tomorrow. Get 25% off and free shipping with code “0508FF.” It ends tomorrow, so scurry!
