VS.....It is no secret they have great fashion!

I recently made a spring fashion purchase from Victoria's Secret. The sandals earned me many compliments the very first day I wore them. I'm waiting on my t-shirt dress to be shipped because it was on back order. I guess the good word is out if they are already selling out of spring and summer fashion.

Sally Hansen Nail Stickers on Toes

I've blogged about Sally Hansen's nail stickers in the past and I'm still loving them. This time I put them on my toes. It was easy and they look so pretty.

Rock and Republic and More....What Store? Read For More!

Kohl's now sells Rock and Republic and I'm now a Kohl's customer. I've wanted a pair of red cropped jeans for a while now but every pair I came across was always either too long (I'm a shorty!) or too low rise (I am a woman that actually has some curves and HATE the muffin top look). I knew Kohl's had the collections of Lauren Conrad, Jennifer Lopez, Elle, Vera Wang and more so when they added Rock and Republic, I knew it was time to stop by. Since it seems Kohl's always has a sale going on, the clothing prices are easy on the wallet. After trying on and loving the R and R jeans, I tried on some pieces from the LC collection. My entire purchase was discounted as every clothing item I chose was on sale. My spring wardrobe is looking good and I will be stopping by Kohl's again in the near future. I know this not only because I also received Kohl's cash...$20.00 to spend on anything, no minimum purchase required. Gotta love free money!

Carolyn Braden: Are Redheads Overlooked When It Comes To Beautiful Brows?

I headed to my local Clinique counter a couple of weeks ago and left empty handed and sad. Why? Because I felt I was discriminated against because I'm a redhead. Clinique discontinued their brow liner in Soft Auburn and I really didn't understand why. It truly made me think, are redheads getting the shaft in the major cosmetic brands? To do a little research, I went to Sephora's website and did a search for "Auburn brow liner." I was shocked to discover only a couple of brands had a brow liner for redheads. Since I can't buy the Clinique liner anymore, I visited Sephora to purchase Lorac's brand. I then went to Meier's and found Maybelline has a new line that includes an Auburn shade. A week later, I was reading March 2012 InStyle magazine and they listed Paula Dorf as a line with an Auburn brow tint. My conclusion? Clinique did a silly thing. I believe the makeup industry is realizing that many people have red hair. Many people are even dying their hair red and keeping it that color for good. (Christina Hendricks!) Clinique was on top of the game and now with this move, I believe they've fallen off the ginger train. Thank you to all the cosmetic brands that don't discriminate against redheads. I hope many other brands will follow suit.

Carolyn Braden: @TARINATARINAT and Easy Side Braid

Easy braid for a casual night out. The Tarina Tarantino hair clip matches my kimono style shirt.

Another Great Fashion Find @tjmaxx : Theory and Michael Stars

I blog all the time about TJ Maxx but it's because I love it! They have a great winter clearance going on right now. I waited to buy these Theory pants that had been $79. I'm glad I waited because I got them for $20. I love Michael Stars shirts because they are soft and wearable for many occasions. I never have to worry about them fitting me either because they are all "one size fits most."

Whitney Houston

Another fallen star. Weirdly enough, she was the topic of a conversation I had earlier this week. Her voice will live on in her beautiful music. So sad.
