While my daily ‘uniform’ these days mostly consists of jeans and a t-shirt, I do still love fashion.  When I worked in a corporate office, I loved picking out suits and cute shoes, and finding the perfect accessories.

Whether you’re buying for a true fashionista or “fashionista lite” like myself, I’m sure there’s a gift below that they would love to have!  Some of the products below were provided and the post may include affiliate links.

Last Minute Fashionista Gifts: Duri Cosmetics Revel in Luxury Nail Polish Collection

Nail polish is one of my favorite accessories.  It’s the most inexpensive way I know to change up my look and stay on trend each season.  The Revel in Luxury collection from Duri Cosmetics has pretty new shades for winter.  Some of my favorites include Posh, Oh My Stars, and Paint the Town.

This daytime date makeup #WalgreensPaperless paperless coupons shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. (#CollectiveBias) and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.

From the moment I first showed Bubbles the trailer for Planes: Fire & Rescue she has been beside herself with excitement waiting for it to come out.  I told her that she, Mama, and Daddy would all go and see it together and now every time she sees the commercial or the trailer, she bounces around and exclaims “That’s the one we’re going to see in the movie theater!”.  So it’s going to be a family date night.  Or, more accurately, a family date afternoon.

Daytime Date Makeup Essentials #WalgreensPaperless #shop

My daytime date makeup is a little different than what I’d wear for a night on the town, but when I went looking through my makeup stash, I realized I really needed to replace quite a few things.  And when I need cosmetics – or most anything, really – Walgreens is often the first place I stop.

There’s just something special about spending an evening hanging out with the girls.  Whether it’s drinking coffee and noshing on something sweet, catching a movie, or just hanging out at someone’s house watching some guilty-pleasure housewife-type of show, recharging your batteries with gal pals is important to your mental health.

Of course getting a little glam for Girls’ Night Out is always fun, too.  When your regular “crew” is too young to get into a PG-13 movie by themselves, you may tend to skip a few steps in your normal routine.  I know most days I’m lucky if I manage to smooth on a little primer and swipe a little mascara across my lashes.

I received a FabFitFun subscription box in order to facilitate my review.  No other compensation was received; all words and opinions are my own.

A week or two ago I shared with you my love of subscription boxes.  I might go so far as to say that subscription boxes are one of my favorite retail introductions of this decade.  Technically, I guess they’re not an entirely new concept.  Lots of companies have always sold mystery boxes, but this second-generation concept helps put a much finer point on what you’re going to receive.  Snacks, kids crafts, gluten-free foods, jewelry, beauty – they’re all available.

Giuliana Rancic's FabFitFun VIP Subscription Box

And it’s a beauty and health box that I wanted to introduce you to today.  The FabFitFun box is curated by Giuliana Rancic.  If you’re not familiar with Giuliana, she’s a co-host of E! News and Fashion Police, as well as Miss USA and Miss Universe contests.  She and her husband Bill also star in the reality show “Giuliana and Bill”. Continue reading »
