My New Favorite Jeans

I’ve never stepped into a J. Jill store before this weekend. Honestly, the color palette of their clothes is a bit drab for my taste.

But after coming up empty at J. Crew, Ann Taylor Loft and Nordie’s shoe department, I took a peek inside to kill time while the hubs was in the Apple store.

I tried on these jeans and fell in love.


They flatter my curves and have the boyfriend jean look without the saggy, sloppiness.

The $89 price tag made wince. Yeah, I know. I have no problem with forking that over that and more at Sephora, but jeans are something I tend to buy from Target or Walmart for no more than $20. <- Hey, you have to scrimp on something.

Anyhoo, I’m wearing them today without a smidgen of buyer’s remorse. And thanks to the dh, I’m also in gadget heaven with a new iPad.


The jeans are also available online.

So what are your favorite jeans?

Traveling Pretty: Clarisonic Mia

I jumped on the Clarisonic face brush bandwagon early. (Click here for my review)

Two years later, I’m hooked on the professional facial results it delivers in merely 60 seconds.

Last week, I picked up the smaller Mia (with a much smaller charger) for travel.




I tossed the Mia into my carry-on and was able to keep the Clarisonic glamour going during my Labor Day weekender.

*NOTE – The travel case did NOT come with the Mia.

Now I’m in the market for a good facial cleanser. Help me out! What’s your favorite facial cleanser?
