Make a Statement - With Your Necklace!

Everyone should have a couple of "statement necklaces" in their jewelry collection. Sometimes all you need is really great necklace to complete an outfit rather than a ton of OK jewelry. Today at Haute Look you can pick up some great statement pieces at a whisper of a price!

DL & Company Candles at Gilt

D.L & Company is a SUPER high end candle company (one will cost you close to $100). HSN has started carrying their products but, they're not offering much of a discount. Today Gilt has them for about 50% off. I know that still seems like a lot but, if you've got that person that you shop for that has EVERYTHING this is a great solution as more than likely they don't have one of these. Plus, the custom blended smells from this company is like heaven in a beautifully appointed little container that is meant to keep after you burn the candle. Two gifts in one! Yay!

Cashmere for Mom

So, Mother's Day is right around the corner right? WHAT???? You haven't bought a gift? Well, Gilt has come to the rescue. Today get some great Sea Cashmere pieces at REALLY great prices!

Burnout Cardigan $89 (Reg. $165)

Short Sleeve Crewneck $59 (Reg. $121)

Cool New Stuff at White House Black Market

Today I'm not posting much about sales (I haven't seen any that drop dead awesome). So, when these days come around sometimes I just spend my time shopping and waiting for things to go on sale or a coupon to come around. One of my favorite places to do that at is White House Black Market.

If you've never shopped there here are some things you need to know. They're expensive. There, I said it. Yes, they're expensive but, they're clothes are the type of clothes that you'll have 10 years from now. Most of their stuff is pretty classic, the fit is exquisite and true to size, and they go with trends but, don't do them in an over-the-top way. So, these are really investment pieces. But, even investment pieces can be gotten on sale!

At any rate, they've just sent out their latest season's new pieces...Here are the ones I'm drooling over:

1. Striped Sequin Pencil Skit - OK...it's sequined. Enough said.

Striped Sequin Pencil Skirt $148

2. Cuffed Short - This short is the must have shorts of the season. They fit perfectly, they're not too short or too long and they're slightly tailored so you can dress them up and down. I actually own the denim version of these and my husband goes nuts over them!

Cuffed Short $60

 3. Lace Cardigan - Lace is super hot right now. Plus it's just so pretty and appropriate for Spring/Summer.

Lace Cardigan $118

4. Eyelet/Crochet Kimono Blouse - I apparently only have eyes for lacey, eyelet stuff right now. I love this and would wear it every day. I may even buy this one at full price, HOLD ME BACK!

Eyelet/Crochet Kimono $98

5. Striped Shift Dress - It's super sassy, a little tight...kind of Lois Lane. I love it!

Striped Shift Dress $158

Old Navy - Work Appropriate

I love Old Navy. However, I find that Old Navy is, a lot of times, in appropriate for work. At least finding a complete outfit. Even when Old Navy puts together "Work Outfits" they're still not really work appropriate for most people. What I do like to buy there are pieces that I can mix with my work clothes to give myself a quick and easy style.

But, I'm now finding that with a little patience while I'm scouring their website I can put together looks that might actually make it past Casual Friday.


For instance, take a basic piece like the Jersey Tank Dress. On it's own...not so great. But, when paired with things like the Linen-Blend Blazer, Sliver Wedge Boots and Leather Rope Belt I can get away with wearing this on, say, a Wednesday. Happy Old Navy to Me! Cheap clothes here I come!

Jersey Tank Dress $15

Sliver Wedge Boots $37.50

Leather Rope Belt $19.94

Linen Blend Blazer $39

To Prime or Not Prime - Is That The Question?

I got the best email today from MAC. Each line has their own version of a face primer. I have so far resisted buying one (although I have tried samples) because it just seems like an extra step that didn't really do anything for my face. I didn't notice a huge difference in how my makeup looked after using a primer.

MAC is really great about giving tips from their artists so that you do your own "runway" look quickly and easily. Their newest set of tips is all about how many ways you can use their face primer Prep + Prime. I might actually buy this product to try it out after reading all these great tips! Take a look:

Prime Future is prepping the way for plush, radiant skin, and beautiful makeup application! Prime your routine with these tips from our Online Artists:

Lisa T: Prep + Prime Skin Smoother works best to lighten deeper lines and texture when massaged with your fingertips. It works as a youth balm, erasing fine lines and texture to create the smoothest possible foundation application.

Tia: To achieve a natural looking glow, mix Prep + Prime Moisture Infusion with Sun Rush Lustre Drops and apply to the skin as a primer under your foundation using the 130 Brush.

Maura: Add a dab of Prep + Prime Skin Smoother to any Cremeblend Blush! Buff on the apples of cheeks with the 109 Brush for a diffused air brushed flush!

Dianna: As the weather warms up, lighten up your foundation routine! Try mixing a drop of Prep + Prime Moisture Infusion into your foundation to sheer it down. Apply using a Pro Performance Sponge dampened with Fix+.

Ivan: Turn your favourite concealer into a foundation. Mix a few pumps of Prep + Prime Moisture Infusion with Select Cover Up Concealer or Pro Longwear Concealer for a fuller coverage foundation with a skin-like, smooth finish.

Amy: I was addicted at the very first application. I love to add a drop of Prep + Prime Moisture Infusion before my moisturizer morning and night. It's amazing over the neck area as well.
