Dogeared Jewelry Sale & Looks For Less

In a previous blog post I mentioned the SATC inspired jewelry that was being pumped out by a brand that I adore, Dogeared. While I never bought any of the pieces I liked I haven't forgot about them. Today I stumbled back onto Dogeared site and saw that they are running a 50% off sale on 200 handpicked items. And low and behold, the Sex and the City necklaces are apart of the sale! Sweeeet. 

I am getting the Sex and the City Park Ave Necklace (gold) and the Sex and the City Big Closet Diamond Charm Necklace (silver) + a Karma Tote!

As if the percentage off wasn't great enough, with that same 50% off coupon code you also get to pick a reusable canvas tote and they toss that one in for Free! Bananas.

Look for Less
I do know that even with a super sale like this Dogeared can still be pretty pricey. So I've rounded up a few look for less options that are pretty darn close to the real thing. While I do maintain that the Dogeared 'luxe' items are ultimately the more gorgeous of the two options, sometimes fashionable ladies gotta pay the bills too, and debt is not cute. So check em' out. Compared to the Dogeared items these other options are insanely cheap.

January, Skincare Month at Sephora

Despite the fact that I live in the Northeast, don't think that I have a undying love of all things cold - because I most certainly do not. Especially since winter runs wild all over my skin as soon as the temperature dips below 40 degrees! .sigh.

I totally have dry skin in the winter months and combination skin in every other season, which makes finding a healthy balanced glow quite a challenge. It becomes a juggling act of sorts between face wash, lotions & masks. So this special little offer could not have come at a better time for me. You did it again Sephora gods... thank you.

For those smart shoppers who are already a Sephora 'Beauty Insider' all you have to do is spend$25 beans and voilà, 4-Steps to Beautiful Skin Samples for free!
Since my current face wash, Murad 'Clarifying Cleanser' is just too drying for my already flaky skin I've been meaning to buy Philosphoy's renowned 'Purity' facial cleanser which is included in the Normal Skin set; excellent news for me.


As if that weren't enough to make you think about trying a new facial routine Sephora has also deemed January Skin Care Month jam packed with a free in store one-on-one skincare consultation by a friendly beauty pro, suggestions/advice, personalized product recommendations, and the above mentioned skincare samples in your hot little hand!

Just to recap, here are your 4 Steps to Beautiful Skin ala the mother-ship, Sephora
Step 1. Free Consult with a Sephora beauty pro
Step 2. Free Skin Care Samples, based on your skin type
Step 3. Free Hugs to your Sephora beauty pro
Step 4. Race home and implement!
