I Just Can't: Vicky Edition


Listen, I usually can co-sign just about anything that ol' Poshy Becks wears. I'm down with the tightness (That sounds gross.), the cray cray high heels (Love it!), and the on-and-off again hair extensions (Check!). However, THIS, I am not into. The leather (stirrup?) leggings are cool. The dress is fine. But together? Yeah, no. Maybe if the dress was shorter? Or just not there, and she was wearing a top? Or are these leather leg warmers? Oh, God. My heart hurts.

P.S. I TOTALLY endorse David Beckham, though. Just wear him. Pin It

Is Anyone in Hong Kong? I Need One of These!


These are badass, non? Meet the Fragmented Chronicles ring collection, by Shannnam of Hong Kong. There are over 100 different landscape designs, and they are all uber cool! You can hop on over to Design Boom to see all of the styles, but don't fall too hard (like I did) because they aren't available stateside, yet. Boo! Hiss!!!


Let's all have a good, long, deep sigh over the fact that we will probably never get to own one of these babies. Tear.

What do you guys think? Are you into these, or am I crazy? Pin It

Be A Hot Dirty (I Mean Clean) Hippie


On a recent trip to my parents' house, I discovered a new hippie/fantastic beauty item. My stepsister is very organic/outdoorsy/vegan, and she had left some Dr. Bonner's Peppermint Magic Soap in the shower. My cousin used it, and started freaking out saying how great it was. I didn't get a chance to use it, but when I got back home I decided to get some and see what all of the fuss was about.

I got this huge bottle at Target for $16.99. I originally wanted to use it just as body wash, which I did, and it was awesome. It gives you a minty, clean feeling that makes you feel tingly (not in a gross way). Then, I decided to use it to clean my makeup brushes. Holy ish, you guys! Those b's were the cleanest they have ever been, for serious. At this point, I'm on a Dr. Bronner's Peppermint high! I need to keep going! That's when I came up with my masterpiece...


I mixed the Dr. Bronner's with Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub and Obagi Foaming Gel. I know that this sounds like a crazy hippie/yuppie hybrid with an identity crisis, but I don't give an eff! My face has NEVER felt so soft. This morning, I used the Dr. Bronner's and the Obagi on my Clarisonic brush, and it was ahhhh-mazing, too. (Just watch out for your eyeballs!) I read that the peppermint version isn't good for the sensitive-skinned sisters, so keep that in mind. But they also have milder versions, like lavender.

You can also use this stuff for boring crap like cleaning your house, laundry, and hand soap. Blah, blah, blah. I don't care about any of that. All is know is I love this ish. Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Magic Soap FOR EVA!!!
