Have your cake and smell like it too!
I have a large assortment of perfumes and body sprays. I don't typically stick to one type of fragrance; I like variety. Which one I wear depends on where I'm going and what I will be doing. One thing is for sure though, I love the smell of vanilla. With perfumes that smell like desserts, like the one I found at The Body Dessert Shop, it's easy to get hooked.
Their #1 seller- "Let Them Eat Cake" -> mmmm, the smell of vanilla cake! Like chocolate better? Try the "Chocolate Overdose." Perfumes are offered in a variety of light, medium, and strong scents. First time shoppers who spend $35 and up get free shipping! Warning- It smells so good you'll want to eat it!

On Watch For Watches!
Yes, I wear a watch everyday and It feels weird if I don't. I think it's it's a case where some people wear them and some people do not. I have to! I currently have one that has interchangeable bands and it has just about had it. So, the search for a watch began and ended quickly! I love Fossil Watches and started there first. The majority of all my watches have been Fossil and I like that they are well made and hold up through time. This Tortoise Style Watch is my favorite and is on my list of priority must-haves. The price is my least favorite part but if I only have to buy a watch every couple of years then why not! It even matches my sunglasses -0-0- :)
Check out the Watch Bar ; you can build your own watch. Your watch will arrive in a cute tin and you even get free shipping for orders over $40!

My first word was shoe
No kidding. My mother said so.
My new obsession is skimmers and flats. Very comfortable, cute, so many different colors and Old Navy makes it so affordable to buy a few pairs a time! I love that they are versatile; I've worn them with dress capri pants, jeans or cute little summer skirts. And since I have an aversion to the flip-flop (which they have a ton!) they are a summer must for me!

This is me, smiling ear to ear!
Every once in a while I happen upon and item that is so "me" that I just can't let it go. This smiley face necklace is one of those things. Laurie at Sweet Tooth emailed me one day and offered to send me a sample necklace. Since receiving it, it hasn't left my neck. Now, we usually give away all of our samples at A Girl Must Shop, but I have to tell you it's not looking like this one is going to leave my neck.
It's the perfect little expression of glee and comes with a great chain with one of my favorite toggle clasps and has the most adorable little beaded details.
Don't look so glum, chum! Hop on over the Sweet Tooth and grab one for yourself. They come in all kinds of adorable designs. Check it!
(P.S. shipping is FREE!)

Consider The Source.....
During a meeting the other day I couldn’t help but notice a lotion bottle, with a hula girl design, on the desk of the individual I was meeting with. Along with the bottle was a very familiar smell that I have loved all my life. Coconut! The wonderful smell of coconut! My thoughts drifted and I began to find it hard to concentrate on the important issues at hand until I couldn’t take it anymore. Wait! I need to know what that lotion is….. and that’s when I became privy to info that changed my world.
The lotion was Coconut Mango manufactured in Hawaii by Maui Tropical Soaps. The subject changed swiftly from business to shopping and it was all about the lotion and how we both loved tropical scents. That is when she informed me that she was Hawaiian and that she ordered this lotion by the case. Jackpot! Who knows a better coconut scent than someone from Hawaii? Aloha! Now, what were we talking about?

Who Cares?
Bella! Bella Of Cape Cod cares! I saw this heart toggle bracelet and knew that I would like one. The best part is that 100% of the proceeds from this bracelet benefit an organization called Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. It feels nice wearing something and knowing that you are helping support a great cause. I also happened to notice a lot of other great things, lots of pretty pink things!

Gone.....but not forgotten!
The beautiful cherry blossoms! Yes, there here and then their gone. It's almost a magical time of year when they bloom and yet I've never taken the time to travel to see them in full bloom. I love that time of year because everyone is excited and it's all you hear about on the news. I was looking at necklaces the other day and when I saw this one, "Cherry Blossoms on Ice." It brought all those nice memories back! It's pretty, well made, and it's definitely an item I would splurge on! Other variations of this pendant are available at Blend Creations!

Sometimes it's good to be "Too Faced"
I have absolutely fallen in love with this new mascara called Lash Injection from Too Faced. Here's the description from the web site:
Thisexclusive, 3D formula actually builds tubes around each lash. This "Lash Injection" has unique elastic polymers that curl, fatten, and stretch far beyond the natural lash. This adds extreme volume, curl and length for that costly lash extension look without any of the hassle, pain or commitment. . You will no longer see clumps and lumps - but long, gorgeous, fluttering, new and improved eyelashes.
And it's TRUE, well, for me, maybe not the "fluttering", but definitely improved eyelashes! This stuff is fantastic! I don't wear much makeup, but since I purchased this, I've worn it every day! No need to curl your lashes first, just swipe and go!

Pretty Passport Protection!
I am the proud new owner of my very own passport! I'm sure you've all heard about the passport dilemma that has been plaguing the nation. I was part of it and now that I finally have my passport in my hand I'm not letting go. The day it arrived was a big relief for me and it felt like gold in my hands. For those of you who have been waiting like me you know what I mean. To celebrate my long awaited arrival of this precious necessity? Hmmm... a passport cover for my little treasure? Definitely! At handigift.com I found two that I love- Fresh Bloom and Lime! Etsy also has these same covers!

Flip flop you don't stop!
I'm not going to name any names ahemJanetahem, but I have a friend who is a little bit out of wack. So out of wack, in fact, that she can't even wear a watch. True! Every time she wears a watch it stops working. I think it's some kind of mystical powers. I'm sure she would agree.
Well, I came across the perfect watch for her that isn't worn on the wrist - nope, you can hang it from pretty much anything, but I think she'd hang it off her purse. This adorable Hang Time Flip Flop Watch was made for her. We were out shopping last night and she confessed to buying five pair of flip flops so far this year.
"I'm going to have to move to Hawaii," she said.
I begged her not to leave me behind.

Smell good enough to eat!
I have to tell you that whoever came up with the idea for fragrance and body products that smell like food is a genius! Dude is brilliant! The stuff is all over the place and it sells like hotcakes (pun intended!).
Case in point, I was shopping with some friends a few weeks back and one of them just HAS to run into Victoria's Secret to pick up some of this new Beauty Rush Slice of Heaven Body Double Mist. "You have to try it," she says "it smells just like vanilla cake." Of course it does and of course I had to buy some. Who doesn't want to smell like cake!?
It's a pretty cool product, too. You can see two separate layers in the clear bottle - one clear and one orange. Turns out they're actually actually layers of skin conditioners, so it makes your skin feel uber soft and sweet-smelling.
And for those of you who don't want to smell like cake, you can also get the goods in Strawberry Fizz, Passion Fruit Pop, and Appletini scents. Not a fan of body spray? Never fear, they also have glimmer wash, zing moisture gel, and body drink lotion in the same scents. Don't you know I'm on my way out to get the whole collection.
Bargain, too! Any two items for $18 buckaroos!

A Medley of Color
Ladies, I just found a new little treasure – a beautiful four-strand 17" leather choker with the gold plated or sterling silver clasps clasp closure.
You can wear it with the pendants or just like that - as a choker-necklace. I personally prefer it without pendant. It is beautiful as is and easy on the wallet at a sweet $20.
The girl who makes it, her name is Lana Barakat, (who spent some time in our home town of Boston in her college years) also makes a ton of other cool jewelry. You can check it out at Lazuli Jewelry.com

Wrap Your Lips Around This!
Ooh! Those lips! When I saw this necklace at Jules Smith Designs it brought a smile to my face. I don't think I have ever seen "lips" dangling from a chain!
This particular necklace is the petite version and is about an inch across. The name of this sexy necklace? Kiss Kiss!
It just so happens that their located in the US Virgin Islands -> Guess who will be checking that out! You got it, ME! ;) If you like your lips a little more plumper, try the larger version of Kiss Kiss!

Irresistable
Irresistible - Think Pink Bath Bomb from the Lush. Too pretty to use, but you must try it. When in the water, it releases a slightly sweet vanilla candy smell with a touch of lavender, and makes your skin feel soft and silky.
Also, can't beat the price - $5.55 will not strain your budget but will give you a lot of pleasure.

Where to put the ol' bag
Where do you put your handbag? It's a common issues, especially when you're out to dinner or having a drink at a bar. Do you put it on the table? Nah! It takes up too much space. Do you hang it on the back of your chair? Hells no! Someone could steal it!
Most of us usually toss it under the table, leaving the bottom of your bag infected with goodness knows how much junk is on the floor underneath the table. Ew!
Well fear not! I just discovered these amazing Handbag Holders at Spoon Sisters (Well, of course! They always have the perfect items!) where you'll find this and another ornately decorated holder.
You'll never have icky-bag syndrome again!
