ready for summer!

i stumbled upon these beautiful swimsuits by Juicy Couture and Victoria's Secret on Oh Joy!. i am loving the 50's inspired swimsuits that are available this season. how flattering! perhaps i'll forgo the usual bikini for one of these lovelies this summer.

Bare Escentuals Users!

i blogged some time ago about my love for this product. my only complaint is that my skin gets slightly oily when i use it. well, my lovelies, i just heard some fantabulous news from the wonderful girls at the Bare Escentuals store! They are going to be releasing a matte version of Prime Time sometime this spring/early summer!! Yippee!! I can only hope that it will be available before the wedding because that would rock.

total awesomeness

my dear friend Beth is brilliant. she's not only an amazing crafter, she apparently has a good eye for awesome websites! her latest is Spoonflower.com. The website allows you to upload your designs and print your own custom fabric. holy uniqueness Batman! for $18/yard, you get your fabulous designs printed on quality quilting-weight cotton. hello, lovely! i'll be ordering from you shortly. thanks for the tip, Beth!!
