Laser Hair Removal Update

Okay, so it has been about 8 months since I started laser hair removal treatments..and though I had my misgivings at first, I am pleased to announce that it actually works!! Now, I am not saying that there is no pain in this game, but, it is effective. If you can withstand feeling literally as though follicles of your hair are being burned, then, this is definitely a worthwhile investment. It is so nice to not have to keep up with the constant need for hair removal.

The most painful area is hands down the "brazilian" treatment. Please keep in mind that the laser is not precise like tweezing, it is a light that is about 1 inch, so, I am going to assume that sometimes they are zapping areas that are not supposed to be touched in that way. The brazilian treatment is much more painful that waxing, but, the hair falls out after one session. Little by little, the hair disappears if you keep up with the treatments (you need about 12!!!). I definitely recommend it if you are serious about nixing hair for good. As far as the long term effects go..I have yet to see how long this "permanence" lasts, but I would like to believe it will the effects will remain at least 10 years. I guess we will find out! Anyone else try laser hair removal?

Louis Vuitton Speedy!

So, I'm not a huge fan of Louis Vuitton, but for some strange reason, I love this special edition of the classic Speedy. This is the "Dentelle" version dating back to 2007- I know it's a bit dated, but I really love this bag! Goes to tell you that these accessories are timeless. Wish I could find this somewhere. It was going originally for $1420, nothing even close on ebay now- everything I saw was almost $3000!! Oh well!! Is it safe to say that some of these luxury items become investments? That's quite the return on a bag!
What do you think of the bag?

My New Jacket! Animal Print!

I am finally loving the animal print trend..just bought this jacket a few weeks ago at Off 5th, the SAKS outlet. I am a fan of that store..SAKS quality at a fraction of the price! It's a loose cut, three-quarter length sleeve jacket...looks great dressed up with all black, or casual with jeans!

What do you think of the jacket?

Miami- For the Grown And Sexy

So...you want my advice about Miami? Here's the deal: hit up the Fountainebleau, end of story. This is one of the hottest hotels in South Beach, with sprawling pools, views of the ocean, and did I mention, one of the most exclusive party spots, LIV. Take my word for it, this is the place to be if you enjoy the see and be seen scene (i.e. celeb sightings, etc).
View of one of the pools:

How Hot Is This Watch?!?!

I don't know if you can tell by now, but I am a total watch addict!! I was just perusing through my favorite store websites, and came across this watch by Philip Stein. It's a two-tone chronograph watch with a snakeskin strap! How unexpected is that? Loving it!! Click here to see where it's from! Hope you like it.



Chic Rain Boots

I am loving these rain boots...they are by Hunter ($175 @ Saks). I have a pair of their regular Wellies in silver...wishing I could do a trade-in and get these instead. These are more polished and sophisticated than their original boots, which came in Hunter Green, Orange, and Yellow..ast the time I felt quite avant-garde getting them in silver, which seems pretty obsolete at this point! These would look great on your commute to work in colder east coast climates.
