Thrift stores are the best!

I just love going to thrift stores, you'd be surprised of all the things you can find. I recently found a pair of Candie's shoes in mint condition, a hobo bag and a Shu Uemura makeup bag. And spent about $20.00 for all 3 items. Isn't that fabulous?! Don't be shy, run don't walk to your nearest thrift or consignment shop! Muah!

Target Haul

I had a field day the other day at Target.  They had a sale on tanks and tees.  I just love their tank tops and t-shirts.  They're a must have staple in my closet.  I wear them alone or under a blazer or layer them.  Oh what joy!

Tipsy Tuesday

This just in:Here's a simple drink for those looking for something different to try~
French Kiss
2 Tablespoons sweet vermouth
2 Tablespoons dry vermouth
1 Lemon twist, for garnish

Pour both vermouths into an ice-filled rocks glass or Old-fashioned glass.Stir and garnish with lemon twist.

*Generally the French Kiss is served on the rocks, it also works well chilled and strained into a cocktail glass.  

Beautiful Nails Without A Salon

If you're anything like me, I hate going to a salon and getting my nails done. The reason being I just don't have enough hours in my day to sit there in the uncomfortable chairs while smelling the fumes that come out of those tiny nail polish bottles or acetone wafting in the air into my sensitive nostrils.  Let's not forget they sometimes use the same products or items on everyone that frequents the salon (eeeewwww gross!)  I can go on forever about why I don't like getting my nails done.  However, I have a way of having my nails look like I just stepped out of the salon without actually having stepped in one and without having the commitment of having an inch of acrylic attached to my nail to create long nails.

One day I was going to a party and my nails were looking quite shabby; being that I had no time to get them done I applied some "press on nails".  Yeah that's right PRESS ON NAILS!  No one was the wiser and yet my nails and hands looked fabulous.  And yet I didn't have to commit to having them or getting refills to keep them long.  They generally last about a week which is fabulous for someone like myself who hates dealing with maintenance.  Who would've thunk it? 

Here are a few steps in applying temporary false nails:
First I like to soak my hands in warm water and then I buff my natural nail (*optional I push back my cuticles).  Afterwards I set up my tools on a flat surface (e.g. the glue and nails)

I used Fingr's Natural Fit and Kiss Everlasting glue

Next I select a nail that matches my natural nail size and lay them in the right order to make it easier.

Once I have all the correct nail sizes, I apply a drop of glue onto my natural nail, I then press the artificial nail onto my nail bed. Hold gently for a couple of seconds until glue dries.  The end result salon beautiful nails.

Summer Time!

Summertime is now among us, woo-hoo! Isn’t this exciting?! Well, I must say it has been a little too hot for my taste but I won’t rain on anyone else’s parade. Well, regardless if you love or hate the summer there are a number of necessities a girl must have. Here are some of the basics just to get you started:

1. Maxi Dress: These dresses are so comfortable and come in a variety of styles. I luvs these dresses- they cover all sorts of flaws, not that I have any (wink, wink)

2. Tunic Shirt(s): One staple a girl must have in her wardrobe. Can be worn with damn near everything or over a bathing suit. Just sexy, I tell ya!

3. White Bottoms: Whether its pants, shorts, or skirts, the white bottom can be dressed up or down. Can you say scrumptious?

4. Sandals or Wedges: These are quite the necessity for keeping your little tootsies cool and showing off a rockin' pedi.







5. Camisoles: Camisoles are useful pieces to have in your attire. Cotton or lacy, worn with shorts or a skirt, can be made to wear from daytime to evening.

6. Hobo or Beach Bags: Yes, Yes, Yes, the ultimate for lugging around your beach items and more so. These types of bags are roomy but trendy, you can carry everything but the kitchen sink in these bad boys.

7. SUNSCREEN, SUNSCREEN, SUNSCREEN: Whether you’re a beach bum or the indoor or outdoorsy type, this product must be worn daily- I can’t stress this enough. Unless you’re aching to look like weathered leather, don’t skimp on this summer must have. Year after year, it is uttered wherever you go, the sun’s rays can cause serious damage, so protect your skin. I don’t know about you but I want to keep my youthful appearance, even if that means being a little pasty.

Well, my kittens, I hope this helps you on your way to a wardrobe makeover, at least for the summer…

Muah!

Cami is MIA

Hello my lovelies,

I know I have been MIA for Awhiiiiiiile, but I have been so busy with school, , work, and life and being a mom.  I am also looking to update the look of my blogsite, I am really not pleased with the background.  It's a little too girly girl for me, and that's not what I want my blog to be about.  So please be patient and stay tuned.

Kisses,

Cami (=^_^=)
