You know I love my diffuser. Here is a great chance to see why I incorporate oils into both my yoga routine and daily life. On Saturday September 24 , starting at 8:30am sharp,  + Athleta Valley Fair is hosting an interactive workshop featuring a fabulous distributer from   + Young Living Essential Oils . This special class will begin with an overview of oils  and how they can be incorporated into your yoga practice and beyond. After, we'll move into  a 30-minute vinyasa flow which will give us the chance to experience a deepened practice. Questions? Call the Santa Clara  +Athleta  team at  408-246-6273. See you Saturday!! xoxo •Nancy-Lee

One of my friends has been drooling over my  +MAKE UP FOR EVER OFFICIAL  Artist Shadows so I took her to the  +Westfield  Valley Fair location. Where she managed to get in to as much trouble as I already was... She grabbed 3 shadows and one 3-pan palette. Me? ok, I admit it, I grabbed one more shadow, D-826, to complete my Limited Edition 4-Pan. Click image to enlarge for detail.

Click image to enlarge for detail. Meet Aqua Eyes by +MAKE UP FOR EVER OFFICIAL . These intense waterproof eyeliners feature a creamy texture that leads to an easy application as it never tugs at my delicate eye skin or skips across folds and wrinkles. Even on my oily eyelids, I never have to worry about transfer or disappearance. They stay put. 

Super exciting news: Make Up For Ever has come to San Jose!! There is a brand new and hot store in Valley Fair and you HAVE to stop in and meet Tobey ! She's a genius!!! After a tour around the shop I purchased the Extravagant Eyes set. A trial sized trio of Sens'Eyes , waterproof sensitive eye cleanser, Smokey Extravagant , a dramatic mascara and Aqua Eyes in Black, a water proof eyeliner.

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.

Warning : T his is picture heavy! Valley Fair has always been a lovely mall and the longer I live here the more it is becoming an amazingly couture shopping destination. I like to go to the mall to browse around and get out of the house . T his day, I had a few gift cards and coupons burning a hole in my pocketbook... Join me as I take you on a little fashion haul, just in time for Juicy Couture's new store opening! They are relocating across the hall and I am attending the New Store Opening tonight - make sure you are following me on Instagram for pictures from the event!

This sunshine yellow has been kissed with acid but not slobbered on. The shade is more electric then pastel. White polka d ots and piping really make this skirt pop and the slit up the back of the leg is not only sexy, it enables mo...

The Bendel secret is out of the bag!! And what a gorgeously striped bag it is! Three truths: 1) I honestly had no idea it was open. How was I not on that mailing list? 2) I thought it was going to be 'part of' Victoria's Secret.   It is a Limited Brand, they share the umbrella not space. ella ella ella. It was only coincidental they were both closed  and under construction / remodel at the same time. 3) I thought they only sold candles. Boy was I wrong.

I was in Valley Fair last Friday for what turned out to be Victoria's Secret soft re-grand opening.  The remodeled store looks HOT!   It's not 100% complete, what was the original Pink shop is still closed   There are some odd design choices, in my opinion, such as fitting rooms by the front door, seen all the way to the right of the picture, with white doors.  But the look is fresh and sexy.  I'm sure when they complete and open the entire store in October, it will be worth the wait - and the sacrifice...  Gorgeous white furniture flank the sales floor, boudoir style.
