Victoria's Secret Semi Annual Sale

Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale starts tomorrow online for the Angel credit cardholders. I previewed items that are part of the clearance, and the selection is impressive this time a round. Some of my favorites from the Incredible, Angels, and Sexy Little Things collections are on sale, and in several colors, not just the undesirables. The panty selection is great as well; most bras have a matching bottom on sale. If you have the Angels credit card, definitely take advantage of the pre-sale, and if you do not, never fear, the in store sale is near!

Gorgeous!

I have a slight obsession with bras lately, thanks to a good friend of mine. ;) My latest favorite is the Gorgeous Push Up from Victoria's Secret, which finally arrived in the turquoise blue with white polka dots that I have been waiting for. I have it in white too. The patterns are gorgeous, indeed, and have super cute matching panties. And being the fan of push ups that I am, it does its job perfectly.

Victoria's Secrets latest bra, the Miraculous, adds two cup sizes instantly, and although, the designs are beautiful, it is the first bra I have ever said makes me look too big. They did just release it in a un-padded balconet version that is beautiful, and worth giving a shot.

And last, but not least, my tip for saving at VS: there are always coupons, and sales. I hardly ever buy anything full price. At the bottom of every receipt, there is a survey you can take for $10 off any $50 purchase, there are mailers for free panties and $10 off any bra, and if you are an Angels card holder (that is their credit card) you get a monthly savings booklet, plus points for every purchase made, leading to rewards cards. If you are ordering online, check out RetailMeNot before you place your order. Almost all the promo codes are listed there, and you can usually combine up to three. 

Happy Shopping!

Back from vacation...

As some of you may have (hopefully) noticed, I have not blogged in over a month. I have no great excuse, which leaves me a bit disappointed in myself, but I am trying to get back on track. I am currently trying to figure out what direction I am heading with my design and entertaining interests. 

Project ideas are compiling in my head, the one on the forefront being redecorating my condo. It has been almost two years since I moved into my two bedroom, two bathroom home, and now that it is mine, all on my own, I have free reign to color choices, furniture styles, and of course total responsibility for... the bill. My attempts will be very budget conscious and pocket book savvy, but fun and ever so Brittnee. Some of my favorites come from the lofty looks of the CB2 catalogue, which came today. Here is my current inspiration.

I love this bedding, and the tiny yellow bird tea lights.

This "bag vase" is only $2.95!

These trunks are on the pricier side, but can take the place of a nightstand.

Place two of these candle holders next to each other on a buffet.

This glass table top leave all color options open and the disk tea light holders work perfectly with the chrome base.

Feather Extensions

One of the biggest trends for spring, in case you have been off the planet for the past couple of months, is feather hair extensions and feather earrings. The goal is a splash of color, texture, or pattern that blends into your hair to add bit of interest. As much a fan of feathers in fashion as I am, I must say I am over this trend. 

I occasionally come across exceptions, women or men who have made it their own or done it subtle enough that it does not look like they are trying too hard. I think my main issue is that it is everywhere. You cannot walk ten feet without seeing at least two people who have it. I am sure with the extremity of this accessory, the fad will pass quickly, but for now, I suppose I will have to just accept it. Here are some celebrities that are carrying the trend. 

Steven Tyler

Jennifer Love Hewitt

Cassie Scerbo- My favorite 

Hilary Duff

Miley Cyrus

BLT Delivers Again!

Last night, I had the joy of dining at BLT steakhouse in West Hollywood for my friend's birthday. As usual, they delivered everything perfectly, course after course. I started with thick cut bacon that will make any one's mouth water. And then the popovers made with cheese in the dough were to die for, as always. I had been craving their spinach salad topped with blue cheese, grated egg, and more bacon, and it was so good I had to stop myself from finishing it to save room for steak. Filet with blue cheese sauce was cooked to a perfect medium rare, served sizzling on a cask iron skillet. Dessert is always my favorite course: apricot donuts with maraschino and brandy ice cream, carrot cake, spice cookies, and peanut butter chocolate mouse.

More than any of the food however, I always appreciate BLT for the service and sommelier's knowledge and enthusiasm. Mark, the sommelier, remembered us, even though it has been six months since we first met him, and knew just what we were looking for. I learn something new every time I am there, for instance, 100% Mourvedre wines are being produced and are fabulous, "kick you in the face" reds. I discovered my favorite dessert wine at BLT. Created in Uruguay, in a port style, it tastes like "liquid tootsie rolls." Mark picked out our first wine, and was quick to offer a second fabulous selection when we were ready. We received complimentary Rose to cleanse our palate after cocktails, and the after dinner drinks were on him. We feel like VIPs every time we dine there, and it is why we keep going back. We never feel pressured to eat faster, order excessively, or spend more than we are comfortable with. It is just a great dining experience over all. Go and enjoy!

Sunshine!

The sun is back! I am so excited for the warm weather to finally arrive. It means patio drinking and dining, top down on my car, and summer skirts and shorts. If nothing else, the sun just makes me smile. I hope all my fellow SoCal neighbors are enjoying this gift from mother nature!
