On Target with Threshold, Xhilaration and Mossimo.

Click image to enlarge for detail. First, have you added Cartwheel to your favourite iPhone apps? You MUST! It has a 15% savings for these HOT heels by Xhilaration. Crafted of beige techno-suede and embellished with silver studs and rhinestones, they have a 5" heel with a 2" platform. The amazing thing about these shoes, you achieve the height without the strain. Think about it - I'm only lifting my heel 3" off of the platform. Schmexy sells for $49.99 and I am saving them for the iFabbo event in October. No, they did not come with extra stones, note to Target.

Teeny Weenie Polka Dot Bikini.

It all happened when I went to Swatch to to take advantage of the free Dr. Swatch battery swaps. Headed back to my car I passed Victoria's Secret and BAM! #RaiderNation gear! I was pretty excited to see the Raiders tops in person as I find the Pink collection is not consistent with sizing. Case in point, I had to return my medium for a small. This dusty black pullover features a slight ombre and is crafted of a cotton polyester blend. With long sleeves, this lightweight tee is very soft and lands just past my hips. Retailing for $49.50, order 1 size down. It did not shrink when washed.

Shake Your Money Maker, Essie!!

Click image to enlarge for detail. Let me start by saying this is an amazing shade of green. The application of this lacquer was unlike any Essie shade I have applied, it was more like the consistency of a Deborah Lippmann ; jelly-like. Matte in the finish, the first coat of Shake Your Money Maker was very streaky. You are going to want to apply 3 thin strokes of this polish and build the coverage. It took 3 coats for me to achieve the level of opacity I was looking for. I added a Hardwear , a high-shine topcoat by Butter London to punch this shade up a notch and extend the wear. It lasted 2.5 days before it chipped and did not stain my nails upon removal 4 days after application. I started with Nail Foundation base coat by Butter London . It took a while for Shake Your Money Maker to cure. In the meantime, I smudged 4 nails. womp womp . This is a rich attention grabbing shade and I am looking forward to wearing it again. I rate Shake Your Money Maker 4 out of 5 stars. Reta
