Review: Zac Posen for Target

The Zac Posen for Target collection dropped nearly a month ago but I only saw it at my local Target this week. Needless to say, I was very excited to take a look at everything in person. I love it when designers make lower end lines for us money challenged folk (well, most of the time). Here are some snapshots I took of the collection:

These three dresses were probably my favorite from the line. The black sweater dress is probably one of the most wearable pieces from the collection- it has that "bandage" dress feel if you like that kind of look. Hugs to your body, very sexy (though can be a bit sheer). I also really liked the look for the floral dress, very cute and adorable and perfect for spring. I was a bit confused by the zipper on the chest but I guess it adds a little spunk. Didn't fit great on me but I'm sure it does on someone. My favorite one was the "snap tape" blue dress. I love the color of it and the black "snap tape"- gave the dress an edgier look. It was well made and fit great- I'm short and it wasn't too long on me at all.

I also thought this blue "chambray" dress was cute but at the same time nothing really special. It also really didn't fit right on me. One thing I really didn't like was this pink Zebra print dress- I know some people really love the color but just not my thing I guess? I also liked the sleek, shiny look of the tuxedo pants but they were out of my size so I didn't get to try it on.


Overall, I liked the collection but wasn't overly impressed. I would definitely wear some of the things I saw, though the dresses ran from about $30- $80. Not sure if I want to shell out that much for a dress from Target, even if it's by Zac Posen. In the end, I decided not to pick up anything but maybe I'll give it a second thought next time I'm in target. I did really like this 'Zac' tank though. Really cute! Might go back to pick that up.

Did you guys see the Zac Posen for Target? Like anything? Buy anything? Hated it? Let me know!

Must Haves: Epistick

Epistick! This product has been much raved about on the web for a while and I just had to throw my 2 cents in. I've been in love with this for some time and have been meaning to write about it, just never got around to it. What is a Epistick you may ask? Also called an epilator sometimes, it removes unwanted hair. This particular one in the picture is used to remove facial hair. It's been all the craze in Japan. You could use it on any part of you face such as your cheek, forehead, chin but I use it above my upper lip...to remove that unwanted "mini-stache". It removes the root of the hair too so the idea is that the hair will grow back less noticeable. All you have to do is bend it by holding one side in each hand and then roll up and down. Let me warn you though...it can be tad bit painful or uncomfortable the first couple times you use it but you will eventually get use to it, just like tweezing. Great thing is that you can find them on eBay for less than $2. It's shipped from overseas so shipping maybe take awhile but well worth it. Here's a video I found on Youtube of the epistick in action (sorry, not sure what they're saying):

P.S. Congrats to Ana... winner for my Spring Cleaning Giveaway!!

Going out of Business Sale @ Martin + Osa

Last month, I posted that American Eagle is closing its Martin + Osa brand. The sales have just begun over at the Martin + Osa website and in stores as well. Right now, you will receive 30% off all purchases. There is no specified expiration date. On their website it says:

" All Sales Final :American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. is closing its Martin + Osa concept, including stores and the online business. Thank you."

I suspect that this is only the first wave of price reductions. There will probably be more sales as they move into full closing down the stores and websites. If there's something you really like, grab it now with the 30%. Otherwise, wait awhile and see what cheap finds you can dig up!

Trend: Mint Green Nail Polish

Summer is almost here! One of the looks I've been in love with are pastel colored nail polish, especially a mint green. The look is so fresh and fun for spring/ summer season. It also gives a great pop of color to any outfit you're wearing. I've dug up some high end and low end alternatives for you guys if you're interested!

MAC- Peppermint Patti; Chanel- Jade; Essie-Mint Candy Apple


China Glaze- Re-fresh Mint; Orly-Mint Mojito; ELF- Mint Cream

Also, just a reminder...only a few more hours to enter my spring cleaning giveaway!

Spring Cleaning Giveaway!

So it's that time of the year! As the school year ends, I'm prepping to move out of my apartment and head back home. A bit sad but that's a story for a whole other post. Anyways, I've come to realize that I have alot of STUFF... so much so that one person cannot realistically use it all. So I've decided to give some of it away to any of my readers who are willing to take it.

Here's the first batch of stuff I put together for the giveaway: Revlon Nails, ELF Studio Eyeshadow, Coastal Scents Mini Kabuki Brush, Bare Escentuals Mineral Foundation Sample in Light, YoYo Lip Gloss, + MANY samples. (All products are new)

I know it's not much but I'm hoping to divide my stuff among a few different winners so everyone can get something. I think I'll be having either another giveaway in the near future to give out another batch of stuff or I will just pick 2 or more winners from this giveaway. Anyways, here's how to enter:

1. Follow my blog (link located in the right sidebar)
   
2. Leave a comment with your name and email address (please make sure you are logged in and use the same email as the one you used to follow this blog). And voila, you're entered!
   
3. For one additional entry, you can post this on your blog or twitter (Include the link to the post with your name and email in a separate comment)

Giveaway will end one week from today on May 6th at 9PM EST. Open to those in the US only. Winner will be chosen randomly and I will be in contact through email.

Good luck on finals to those in school and thanks for reading!

XOXO,
