Cottage Edition..................... Time To Pack

FAV 5 ITEMS TO PACK: Eucalyptus Oil, Aveda [ Something I like to do before I head to the beach is to mix eucalyptus oil with water in a little spray bottle.  I love getting a refreshing body spritz during a hot day of tanning with one of my favourite scents ] ~ Waterblock Solar Spray SPF30, Dermalogica [ I love things made easy.  This sun block is in a spritzer bottle to easily get full body coverage against damaging UV rays, plus it has a refreshing scent to it ]  ~ HealthPak Nutritional Supplements, Usana [ Usana offers the highest rated supplements in the world.  The HealthPak that I take is beyond a multivitamin.  It offers a proper balance of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to support total body health.  Aside from loving the product so much the supplements are already sorted and prepackaged into AM and PM packets making it incredibly convenient and easy to stay on top of taking them as recommended.  I always have a pack in my purse wherever I go ] ~ 7 Seconds Leave in Detangler, Unite [ My hair gets super tangled everytime it's wet whether I just got out of the shower or just got out from a swim.  Because my hair is fairly long it can take forever to brush out so I need the help of a leave in conditioner.  In addition to being a great detangler this product also works to give your hair thermal protection.  Something I like about this hair product line is that it's paraben free - less chemicals absorbed into my body the better ] ~ Go Blonder Lightening Spray, John Frieda [ When it comes to summer I like my hair lightened up a bit.  As an alternative to more bleach at the hair salon I get some help with this product containing citrus and chamomile that works with heat to gradually lighten hair and because of this it's also a thermo-protectant ]

 Yesterday I mentioned Blake Lively being one of my style inspirations. Well here is a picture of her wearing an Anna Sui dress, a collection inspired by Gossip Girl, that is very similar to my outfit of the day

Inspired By: Blake Lively

The Beautiful Blake Lively was featured in the July issue of Glamour Magazine.  I had to add a few snapshots of how absolutely stunning she looks

Blake Lively is one of the main characters in a highly popular and fashion filled TV Series Gossip Girl.  This show has her constantly being decked out in the most jaw dropping ensembles that have put her on the top of my list of fashion icons.  Below are a few of my favourite statements that are unforgettable to me

When Blake isn't being featured in editorials or styled to hop on set for Gossip Girl she continues to rock fashion onto the red carpet.  Her style can be very flowy at times but mainly she struts in super sexy fitted dresses showing off her killer body and at times isn't shy to display cleavage of her girls.  Whatever her look is for the evening she still radiates glamour and elegance

Oh what I would do to have a closet filled with these pieces! 
BUT since Blake Lively is in fact human she does have her days where she isn't getting all dolled up.  Below is a glimpse of some everyday looks that still has her looking fabulous on the sidewalk all because she knows how to look all put together

CLEANING TIPS:  I'm not sure about you but it never seems to fail that every time I wear my patent leather heels I always get dark scuff marks on them.  So annoying, I'm sure you agree!  But do you know how to remove these ugly marks without destroying that beautiful finish?  Here are a few tricks to try to help get your pumps looking like they did the day you brought them home.
* Something to keep in mind:  Different tricks work for different shoes so always do a test patch before you begin.  I suggest doing this on the heel. 

Below Are A Few Cost Effective Options to Choose From

* Mild Soap & Warm Water *

* Mineral Oil *

* Non-Acetone Nail Polish Remover *

* Toothpaste *
