Microdermabrasion At Home: Oh So Glam Or Scary

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:58:22 +0000

Anyone who has read my posts knows I am addicted to finding the newest and most fabulous beauty treatments and gadgets. So when offered the chance to review the Personal Microdermabrasion system, I was beyond excited. Whether living a small town sans spas or cutting costs, being able to duplicate this treatment applause worthy.

My skin is normally pretty good but after years of tanning (eek!) and not always being kind to my skin. The texture is not as good as t good be, so microdermabrasion was on my list of must do treatments. I will admit I was a bit nervous on first glance of this gadget. Would it hurt? Would it be difficult to use? Would the results be on the same lines of some of the products claiming to do the same thing?

Well its was fabulously easy to use. It didn’t hurt. And the results were fabulous. After 3 weeks of once a week treatments, I noticed a considerable improvement in appearance and especially the feel. I used two amazing products in conjunction with the personal microderm. The M2 Skin Refinish and M2 Skin Recovery Moisturizer, I highly recommend adding both these to your skin care regime.

My biggest suggestion would be start with the blue discs (sensitive) and work up to a more coarse one if need be. Another great element is that it can be used on your body too.

I would definitely say this is a must have product for any glaminista. Look for the video of me using this product coming mid-August and even more fab beauty and fashion finds on my new site http://www.glambitionguide.com.

I was given this product for review but was not paid for a positive review. I actually do love it!

Round The World Cowgirl Style

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 12:44:36 +0000

It seems all of fashion is embracing the carefree spirit of western style. Now some cowgirls may feel mainstream designers and fashionistas don’t truly grasp the spirit of the style. But in my opinion, the mainstream and western collaborations are adding lovely refinement and updated styles to the mix. Western fashion’s evolution to being hot street style will breathe new life in our ensembles and give us a break from overplayed trends. From Paris to Los Angeles, high fashion capitals are embracing luscious leathers, pretty plaids, and denim that rocks serious ranch glamour.

Take a gander at some of the fabulous looks being seen around the world inspired by cowgirl fashion fabulousness.

Chanel Inspired Cowgirl

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” -Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel has to be most fashion obsessed girls ultimate mentor (Kelly Cutrone a close 2nd for me) From a iconic style to an attitude that was ahead of her time, the name Chanel conjures visions of timeless elegance and femininity.

With the GENIUS Karl Lagerfeld at the reins of Chanel, the Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection had an almost farm girl meets high society feel. With colors reminiscent of water colors, fab dresses that had just the right poof, and CLOGS done with panache, the Chanel look could easily crossover to some gorgeous cowgirl looks for Spring and summer.

Here are some ways to look tres’ Chanel inspired chic but with cowgirl glamour kept in mind.

Chanel Inspired Look #1

Luscious embroidery and clogs worn in a high fashion way, inspired this ensemble! Pick a top with feminine details, pair with a slim cut jean, and embrace a really comfy clog like these from Ariat. With such pretty details, keep the accessories to a minimum.

Chanel Inspired Look #2

I adore dresses with a retro, flirty twist to them. Paired with a fun high heeled clog and gorgeous necklace, this ensemble is the perfect look for date night or any special occasion.

Jean Paul Gaultier Meets Cowgirl Glam

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:49:43 +0000

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2010 Couture

Jean Paul Gaultier may not be a name uttered in many western circles. But Gaultier is a a designer that appeals to the notion that fashion is more than clothes you put on but its truly art in wearable form. Though his awe-inspiring runway creations may not make sense for everyday, the feeling they create can be a great influence on our daily style. Today I am going to show you how Gaultier and cowgirls can live in gorgeous harmony.

Jean Paul Gaultier’s collaboration with Target was just unveiled the 7th after great anticipation. The pieces have a almost punk feel with a bit of Parisian sass! Perfect to pair with some rock inspired western pieces.

This fun, eye catching dress from the Gaultier collection would be perfect for summer bbq’s.

So this is where we add some western glam to our couture inspired piece.

Necklace By Gypsy Soule

Cuff By Gypsy Soule

Don’t be afraid to mix and match mainstream and western to form your own personal style. Have fun with color, textures, and details. And embrace some runway fabulousness, trust me you will LOVE it.

All About the Cowboy

Christy Jo — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:55:46 +0000

We focus so much on ourselves, we sometimes forget about the Cowboys in our life. Whether it’s deciding to buy that cute Coach purse instead of a Shotgun or a hot pair of jeans instead of replacing his worn out rags he wears everyday. Today, we are going to focus on him what his needs are, because sometimes it’s important to step back and remember who the man of the house is and that we need to treat him every now and then. Or if you are a Cowboy reading this, maybe you are needing to replace those worn out boots that either need to be resoled or trashed!

The men in our lives can be ranch Cowboys who dress up in the typical Cowboy gear everyday or maybe he needs something to wear when he takes you out in your little black dress. We’ve got it all right here!

Sometimes we have to stop and remember that Cowboy in our life. Whether it is a gift for your dad, your husband, or even just that special someone for a birthday or just because. Men like to receive things too, especially when they need it!

After all, Men can Live Life in the Fashion Lane, too….we just have to help them out a little bit!

Cowgirl In The City

Christy Jo — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:08:41 +0000

Reese Witherspoon, really what can you say about her that we don’t already know? She is down to earth, super gorgeous in workout clothes or all dressed up, and she seems to be a great mom. If you didn’t know she was one of the highest paid celebrities in Hollywood, you would think she was just like you!

Today on Cowgirl in the City we check out a very easy to put together look. Simple, but yet you can wear it out with the girls or as you run around town, whichever!

Start with a good long sleeve shirt, being a Cowgirl, many of us have a ton of these in our closets and may not have to go far to find one. But if you’d like a fitted one, try something like this.

You can take this look and use any colors, switch out with different under shirts, or wear it with heels. There is no limit! And Remember, Live Life in the Fashion Lane
