Free People is all about the boho-chic look and is very good about not making women look like hippies stuck in the late-’60s. But today, I took a closer look at Free People accessories, which have a bohemian vibe and look more expensive than they are — especially since there’s a big ol’ sale going on. The other good thing is that you don’t have to worry about your size selling out, well, except for the two pairs of shoes. See what I found after the jump. Keep reading »
One of our regular readers, Laurel, is in a bit of a bind. She has a few weddings to attend this summer, but hasn’t anything to wear. Plus, she doesn’t want to spend a fortune on a dress she might not wear again after the summer slew of weddings is over. When you’re in need of a special occasion outfit, a dress is the best way to go because less pieces mean lower cost. So to help Laurel and some of you out, we’ve found 12 dresses for less than $65 that you’ll be able to wear after wedding season. Keep reading »
I found the prettiest bra while trolling for lacy lingerie the other day. It was delicate but sturdy, lacy but not cheap-looking, and I wanted it. Unfortunately, it’s made by The Little Bra Company, which a saleswoman told me focuses exclusively on A and B cup bras. My loss, your gain, Itty Bitty Titty Committee. The ever-helpful (and largely small-chested) sales staff at Journelle, my new favorite lingerie spot, raved about the fit, making me all the more jealous of those of you who’ve got the appropriate amount of lady lumps to indulge.

Last week, we asked you to share how your lip gloss addiction began. We really enjoyed traveling down memory lane with you all, but there can be only one winner for the entire collection of Avon Glazewear Lip Glosses, and it’s thesirensong for her comment that shows the value of traditions and friendships:
What goes up must come down. What goes in must come out. The truth is, everybody poops, but it’s embarrassing for some to go in unfamiliar surroundings, like your new lover’s place. Now you can poop anywhere without being embarrassed. Single? Think about this: You’re on the way to work one morning and you need to do the do badly. You pop into Starbucks to use their bathroom, and a gorgeous guy gets in line behind you. Maybe if you spray Poo-Pourri before you go, he won’t be overwhelmed by the stench and will, instead, have a clear head to think about you. Unlike air deodorizers that mask the smell, environmentally friendly Poo-Pourri claims to create a barrier that prevents the smell of your crap from escaping the toilet bowl. Also, Poo-Pourri comes in different scents to accommodate everyone’s personal preferences. What you had for dinner doesn’t need to stop you from going home with that crush of yours across the bar. Mist a couple of sprays into the toilet bowl before you go, and no one will ever know! [Poo-Pourri] Keep reading »
The unofficial start of summer begins today, and it’s time to stock up on shorts of all lengths. Short-shorts can look cute with flat shoes. Mid-thigh length ones show off toned legs with a pair of heels. And knee-length Bermuda or walking shorts can be office appropriate, depending on where you work. We’ve got the details on 10 pairs of shorts that cost less than $50 after the jump. Keep reading »
A lot of trial and error goes into purchasing a new lip gloss color online, because those little color swatches aren’t always accurate. Avon has made this task easier. The Glazewear app on Facebook lets you try on Glazewear Lip Glosses before buying. These high-shine glosses never go on tacky or gooey, and leave lips moist, smooth, and luscious. Among the 16 glosses available, five glosses deliver high-impact color, five give a sparkly shine, five have a megawatt luster, and one clear gloss provides high-shine and SPF protection. There’s a reason Glazewear Lip Glosses are a favorite among Avon customers, and it’s time for you to be in the know. [$1.99 for a limited time, Avon]

You must live in the U.S. or Canada to win. (Read the official rules.) Good luck!
We’re generally pretty skeptical of any beauty product that claims to fix up our messy bits while we sleep. What happened to the whole beauty is pain concept? Suddenly beauty is supposed to be just easy? Well, apparently so. Kiehl’s new Midnight Recovery Concentrate did, in fact, have a visible effect on my face overnight. No, I didn’t wake up with the world’s best skin and, mysteriously, 10 pounds lighter. But I did look and feel more hydrated and smoother than usual. [$42, Kiehl's] Keep reading »
Summer is a favorite season in the beauty category (shimmery self-tanner, anyone?) but also one of the most problematic. When it comes to vacation hair, the beauty books seem to have it down: go for that beachy surfer girl thing. But what about dealing with the elements day-to-day? We’re talking humidity hair, that particularly unflattering style that happens somewhere in between your home bathroom and office. For those who have summer styling problems, look to Oribe’s Impermeable Anti-Humidity Spray, formulated to combat this very issue. The “Miami-tested” product “shields hair from frizz on the sultriest of days (and nights), protecting sleek blowouts and perfect curls alike,” so it’s useful for curly and straight-haired girls alike. The perfect aid for helping you attain that “put-together” look (even when beneath it all, you’re sweating like a pig), this Oribe spray is the type of beauty product that might just keep you sane this summer.

Trolling street wear sites like Chictopia is one of my favorite online activities — after online shopping. Like others who are fans of these sites, I get inspiration for my own outfits. User FashionisaPlayground calls this look the “Fair weather sailor,” but I think it’s more suited for a daytime date on land. Although the shorts show off gorgeous gams, the look isn’t tarty because everything else — cleavage, arms, shoulders — is covered. So your date will get a hint of sex appeal but still pay attention to what you’re saying. Plus, the mixing of patterns — stripes and snakeskin — make the neutral palette exciting. Find out how you can get this look after the jump, and if thigh-grazing shorts aren’t your thing, a pair of Bermuda shorts would look just as cute. [Chictopia] Keep reading »
