As you probably know, the latest fashion trend for the summer is.. bracelets! In every color, material, and as many as you can stack up your arms. Basically, anything goes. I love the colorful beaded ones for the summer but prefer the more neutral ones like the white wrap from baublebar for all year round. I tried to find affordable options that are cute and trendy. Hope you like my picks.

Review: ByTerry Baume de Rose

The other day I got an email from beauty.com saying I was one of five winners of  their weekly facebook giveaway and I would be receiving a BY TERRY Baume de Rose . I was beyond excited as I had been wanting to try this balm for over a year but could not get myself to buy it as it retails for almost $60.

Now that I have used it for a few days I can review it. The packaging is cute but elegant and refined. A 10g / 0.35 oz. pot  in a pink and silver box contains a multi-protective, nutri regenerating SPF 15 balm with a subtle rose scent that you can use on your lips or your cuticles as the instructions say.

I love the consistency, smell, packaging, everything but the price. I really like the way my lips feel and you only have to apply it a few times a day. They also have a BY TERRY Baume de Rose Crystalline Bottle which I think its more practical for on the go.

I think now that I have tried it I won't be able to use other balms so I am pretty sure I will be splurging on this from time to time as I think a pot will last a few months. The good thing was that I got to try it before having to buy it so had I not liked it I wouldn't have been disappointed.



PS If you are curious.. I am wearing the mint nail polish from my previous blogspot http://capripor.blogspot.com/2011/05/mark-summer-nail-polishes.html

Obsessing Over: Lace

Lace by capripor

I have been obsessing over lace pieces for a while now and I actually own a couple of lace tops. Most of the lace pieces I'm drawn to are cream or white but there are also some really cute black and colored pieces that I like.

My favorite thing about lace pieces is how femenine and refined they are; even if you wear one that is not expensive you will look like a million bucks. They are also really versatile as you can wear the same piece during the day or night just by changing the accesories.

Mark Summer Nail Polishes

I recently placed my first ever order from Mark and I absolutely love the mini nail polishes I got. They come in sets of two and they have the season's trediest colors in mini bottles so you can try the colors without having to purchase a full bottle that you'll probably never finish; plus you get to try out two colors not just one. For the summer, they have the Ibiza collection and the nail polish colors are: an intensly deep coral red and a refreshing pastel minty green. I tried the coral one this past weekend an I love it! The picture is of two coats plus a Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

The pictures above are the box in which the polishes come and the cutest little bottles!

Hello again!

I haven't posted in so long.. oh well! So, I joined this site called fiverr where you list things you would do for $5 and people can buy your service or product. It's a cool way to make some extra cash doing whatever it is you like to do. I listed that I would create a customized look on polyvore and surprisingly I have gotten several orders from small online stores, and also from people who would like some help putting outfits together. What can be better than finally getting paid to do what I love.  Here are a couple of the looks I created recently. The first is how to bring your black suit from the office into a night look, and the second is how to accesorize your jeans and white tee. Hope you like them and find them useful..

Obsessing over: bow pendant necklaces

Bows by capripor

There's just something about bow pendants. They look so delicate and feminine. Plus, they give plain outfits a touch of sophistication and make a dull outfit unique and special.
