WhyDid and Win: Flirty and Thirty with Cosabella

By |June 25th, 2013|WhyDid and Win|

whydid cosabella contest

Shouldn’t come as news that I’m semi obsessed with lingerie, delicate underpinnings, and basically anything lace.  Whether anyone besides Smitty sees it, doesn’t really matter.  Knowing  I’m wearing something beautiful and feminine under there is the ultimate confidence booster –and there is no brand more flirty or feminine than Cosabella.  I was first introduced to the brand while buying lingerie for Henri Bendel and needless to say, I’ve been a fan ever since.  The Soire Soft Bra is my go to for steamy summer nights.  In honor of thirty years of sexy (not me, silly), Cosabella and WhyDid are giving you a chance to win 3 Panty Pack from their newest addition, Trenta.

The new must-have group celebrates Cosabella’s 30 Years of Color and innovation! The fine lace of Trenta is shaped to lay flat on the body for a seamless effect. It features styles in all-over delicate lace and styles in smooth microfiber mixed with lace galloons and insets. The thong wraps your body smoothly with a single back seam to enhance comfort and emphasize the delicateness of the lace.

So say goodbye to VPL and enter for your chance to win by following WhyDid and Cosabella and using the hashtag, #Cosabella30.

Good luck, bellas!

Setting the Mood: It Was All a Dream

By |June 24th, 2013|Setting the Mood|

This past weekend marked the official beginning of summer as well that whole super moon phenomenon.  Busy weekend, eh, Mother Nature?  If you’re less of a recluse than I, you may have found yourself celebrating a little something called Midsummer.  Now, I’m not sure why exactly it would be considered “midsummer” if it is, in fact, the first official day of summer or summer solstice.  I’m not here to be the fun police though, so whatever the case may be, I like what they’re selling and I’ll buy it.  There is no better time to deem yourself a gypsy or child of the flowers by adding some floral accessories to your tiny tanks and flowing skirts.  Grab your flower crowns, girls (or make one like I did) and start shimmying.  It’s officially summertime, ya’ll.

Smart Is the New Pretty: If You Kan’t Beat ‘Em…

By |June 18th, 2013|Smart Is the New Pretty|

We started the week off with Miss USA proving that smart truly is the new pretty.  Miss Utah thinks we need to “create education better” and proved her own point with her answer to the question about equal pay (in case you missed it, watch the awkwardness ensue here).  You know I make it a point not to post about Kim but…

K, kalling it a night, kiddos.  Kongrats, Kim & Kanye!

Friday Frocks (Except Not): One for the Money

By |June 14th, 2013|Friday Frocks|

Speaking of one pieces… this week let’s ditch the frocks for something less formal.  While a onesie can still be dressed up for a night out on the town, sometimes a gal needs a little coverage of the crotchal region.  Maybe you’ll be tackling the new Citi Bikes, or perhaps there are high kicks in your future, in any case, a little bit of modesty goes a long way.  What better way than in a jumpsuit or romper?  (Answer: there is no better way).

Gift Guide: Who’s Your Daddy?

By |June 12th, 2013|Gift Guide|

I’ve already bragged about what an amazing mom I have, but hold on… because I also happen to have the best father, friend, and male role model that a woman could ask for.  I have been truly blessed to have the relationship that I do with my dad.  I often wish that everyone was as fortunate as I am.  I do not, for one moment, take that for granted.  Basically, my only “daddy issues” are finding a man who could come remotely close to the kindness, character, and intelligence of Dick Smith.

That said, no gift could even come close to summing up my gratitude, but it’s worth a shot, right?  Here’s the thing about dads, they are always so busy taking care of everyone else (nope, not just mom), that they tend to skimp on themselves.  For instance, my dad likes to wear the same shoes he’s had for the last decade, because ya know, they still work.  I tried to replace them.  That went over like a lead balloon.  Just remember that men tend to be practical, so extravagant gifts aren’t necessarily key– and he does not, under any circumstance, want another tie.
