Review: Ann Taylor Loft V-Neck Tee

I've been looking for a basic tee for a long time. I wanted something that was slim fitted, but comfortable, the perfect length-where its not too short and long enough for my long torso, thick enough material where I can wear it alone, and soft cotton. I did some research and I had decided upon J.Crew's Tissue Boyfriend Tee, but I was waiting for a free shipping code because I could never find it in the stores and with shipping costs, the price of the tees were still too expensive to justify it. Since tees are basic necessities, they get worn a lot and most people will need more than one in different colors.


Well, I found a different tee this weekend that fits all my criteria, the Ann Taylor Loft V-Neck Tee. They are thick enough that in the color white, you can easily wear it alone. They are soft and have a little bit of a stretch. They are slim fitting with the perfect length where I can tuck it in or not. Most importantly, they were 2 for $25, as their regular price and comes in multiple colors. I ended up buying them in white and black in size small. I'm usually an XS in their clothing, but I figured they might shrink a little in the wash. I highly suggest anyone looking for a basic tee to try these out. My only complaint is that I wish the sleeves were a little bit longer like the J.Crew's. I might end up getting the tissue boyfriend tee and do a comparison post because who doesn't need more tees?

Le Creuset - Up to 60% Off

I'll admit that I'm easily wooed by pretty things. That goes for clothes, makeup and even kitchen appliances. But really, how can anyone resist pots and pans that come in a rainbow of colors? Bloomingdale's is having a one day sale on Le Creuset - the discount is up to 60% but most of the everyday pots are 40% off. You may be able to find a better deal at the outlets, but you won't get this variety of colors - white, red, cobalt, flame, dijon, black onyx, dune, kiwi, and carribean.

They heat evenly and consistently, you can use them on the stove or in the oven, they're supposed to last a lifetime, and they're pretty! Just be careful though, these things are HEAVY.

It also looks like Le Creuset is branching out to purples...Cassis. Not available at bloomingdales.com, but may be available in stores. So gorgeous!

Review: Johnson's Soothe & Protect Balm

No matter how hydrating your face cream and makeup may be, sometimes nothing can stop you from ending up with cakey makeup. Is there a way to avoid cakey makeup without having to use wonderful but silicone-containing primers like MAC Prep + Prime Skin?

[MAC Prep + Prime Skin, $25]

Johnson’s Soothing Naturals Soothe and Protect Balm, the little multi-tasker, is your answer. Not only does it moisturize with its unique blend of pure vitamin E, olive leaf extract and minerals, it also softens and protects your skin, and acts as the perfect primer. It’s packaged like a regular deodorant so it’s easy to use. I like to rub it around my eyes before I apply my eye concealer/eyeshadow and around my cheeks, chin and forehead to achieve that dewy look.

[“The balm”, $4.55]

Review: GoJane.com

Do you face a dilemma when it comes to fashion trends and shoes? I was torn every season between wasting money in a pair of trendy, expensive shoes and wasting time in finding an affordable but totally doable pair until StylishlyFabulous tipped me about this particular website called GoJane.com a few months ago. Then I realized I no longer needed to waste time or money on trendy shoes. While rest of the contributors bought a pair of designer shoes this winter (Valentino, Louboutin, Tory Burch), I opted for GoJane.

It’s important to go through all the selections and not be turned off by the majority of shoes that are cheap and tacky. Once you get to the specific shoe page, click on the main photo, and it’ll give you a pop-up window where you can look at back, front, and top views. Use your best judgment to see if you’ll be able to walk in them (booties are generally comfortable). If the back of the shoes is too high, it will cut into your ankle. If you’re scared of PVC, go with faux suede/patent leather or think of Stella McCartney. Especially if you’re going to wear these to go out at night, who cares?

The ones I bought are no longer available -- GoJane seems to have a high inventory turnover rate, which is good if you want to feel like your purchase is unique but it also means if you like something, you better make the purchase soon. Below are the ones I like that are available on the site now.

[Black Strappy Zip Back Sandal, $15.80]

I'm thinking about getting these since I'm going somewhere warm next month. Or you could get the Loeffler Randall metallic sandal for $325.

[Suede Pedestal Platform Pump, $21.00]

Or you could get the Dolce Vita April suede platform pumps for $180.00.

[Cut-out Bow Front Suede Bootie, $22.10]

Or you could get the Valentino Garavani suede peep-toe pumps for $475-$935.

Shoes range from $5.99 to $42.00. Based on my experience, they run true to size. Enter Coupon Code "GJSHIP50" and get free standard shipping for purchase over $50!

Obsession: Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Drawstringy Satchel

I can't get this bag out of my head from the moment I saw it on the shelf at Saks. Love at first sight. I didn't expect that I would like a drawstring bag but everything about it screams "buy me, buy me". The size is perfect and the leather in color cement is beautiful. I couldn't find a picture online of the bag in cement so here it is in black and another bag in the cement color. The picture doesn't do this bag justice. I actually wouldn't give this bag a second look had I only seen it online. I'm determined to own this bag!

I love the Petal to the Metal bag. Rachel Bilson was spotted carrying this.
