Jeggings

The greatest innovation in fashion of all time, in my opinion, is jeggings. Jean leggings are the perfect wardrobe staple if you are like me, and refuse to wear jeans most of the time. From my $12 jeans to my $200 jeans, they are all equally as uncomfortable and binding despite the price. Unfortunately, jeans are necessary for many outfits, forcing me (and many others) to sacrifice comfort for fashion. While this is often the case in fashion, it shouldn't have to be with every outfit, since jeans are such a staple piece.

I have been searching for the perfect "jegging" for some time now, and have finally found it! J Brand "The Legging" stretch jean are it. J Brand has great jeans in general, but "The Legging" is the comfiest jean you will ever wear. They look and feel just like real denim, yet are so much more comfortable. These jeans are so stretchy that if I were able to do a split, I would! For me it was easy to justify investing in these J Brand skinnies because I know I will live in them. If you can't, you can definitely find much cheaper similar styles elsewhere as they are very popular for fall. Urban Outfitters, GAP, Express, and even stores like Burlington and Marshalls have them. Either way, I highly recommend a pair to add to your fall wardrobe.

P.S. J Brand's "The Legging" jean is currently on sale at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale! An added bonus! A rep. from J Brand was there when I purchased mine, and she said they cannot even keep them in stock.

Bye,Bye Bags

So we all have late nights and early mornings that lead to less than desirable tired, puffy eyes. Not very attractive, but how do we fix it? I was given an excellent product to try that helps this situation, and I must say it is great. Formulated by dermatologist Patricia Wexler MD, Wexler's Fastscription De-Puff Eye Gel helps to tighten skin around the eyes, as well as reducing fine lines and wrinkles (because even at 23 I am already developing them!)

As the press release states, "send your bags packing" with this innovative new product. Unlike most similar products on the market, Fastscription De-Puff Eye Gel not only quick-fixes bags under the eyes, but keeps them gone. I've been using this product in the mornings for a couple weeks now, and I can concur that it works. You can feel it working as the puffiness goes down almost instantly!

Love,

Amanda

Saddle Up

As I was browsing the Anthropologie website, I absolutely fell in love with these spectator inspired heels! Saddle-like shoes are in right now, and these, to me, are the perfect play on the retro style. I love the peep toe and mary-jane strap! They give the spectator shoe a girlie touch, and "girlie" is always fashion's way to my heart.

While I have no business spending $148 on a pair of shoes right now, they are definitely getting book-marked until a sale (if I can hold out that long!) I just thought these were too adorable not to share!

Love,

Amanda
