Dressing My Man In Style! {191 Unlimited Review}

Does your man need some new style?

Then look no further than 191 Unlimited!

This review was just for the hubby. He has run into a rut of wearing the same thing over and over and it’s his basic white and brown tees. He was in desperate need of some new shirts and a new look. He had the opportunity to review the Dusty and the Comeback from 191 Unlimited. When they arrived I was thrilled because he really needed a wardrobe make over. When he put them on….Hottie! Hello, I was in awe of how great these shirts made him look. They have a more fitted look so I am glad I ordered a size up. He usually wears a medium but I went with a large and couldn’t be happier.  They are the nicest looking shirts he owns. He recently wore one to a b-b-q we attended and I was proud to have him on my arm. He looked great! Thanks 191 Unlimited for the awesome selection of men’s shirts and having the best styles for the men in our lives!

They don’t just carry snazy shirts like the ones my hubby got. Check out their Skinny Ties, Tees, Boys Shirts, and Best Fitting Bottoms.

Always Full Of Fashion {Gossip Girl Season 3 On DVD)

If you watch Gossip Girl then you know that the characters are always in Fashion.

I love the fashion just about as much as the Gossip. Now simply add a wardrobe miss-function and it makes for some real Gossip Girl drama.Serena is always so hip and trendy in her designer dresses….

Blair is always so elegant and properly dressed….

and Chuck is always dressed to the nine in his rich custom suits.

What I would give to be able to rummage through Serena’s closet…I know dare to dream.

But could you image what you would find in it?

Make sure you pick up your own copy of the DVD “Gossip Girl Season 3″ now available at your local retailer or simply order your own copy online right now!

{I have been hired by Warner Bros WBWord division to raise awareness for Gossip Girl: The Complete Third Season – which is currently available on Blu-ray/DVD. You can pick up your copy here: http://bit.ly/cx8nDx!}

Cute, Comfy and Cozy Feet {Socks4Life Giveaway} CLOSED

I am so a shoes-without-socks kind of person, which is why I used to dread fall and winter when it gets cold and wet and socks are a must. Notice I said “used to”…thanks to Socks4Life, I now know it’s because I never found the perfect sock!

Socks4Life_semicushion Socks4Life sent me several pairs of socks to review. The first pair I tried was the Excell Women’s Semi-Cushion socks. My feet were a little bit cold last week so I slipped them on in the morning. By noon I’m usually sock-free, but surprisingly I still had them on! So I wore them to the park with my sneakers. I was actually worried that my feet would be sweaty because of the cushioning, but they were just fine. I think I’ve found my new favorite athletic socks!

Then we went to the city over the weekend and I wore the Taga Women’s Argyle Socks4Life_ArgyleDress  socks with my boots. I love these boots but if I wear the wrong socks, they’re not very comfortable. My argyle socks were cute and my feet felt great in my boots. I know they’ll go with all of my fall and winter shoes.

Socks4Life_cozy After we got home, the girls went to bed early (woohoo!) and I tried on my Excell Striped Cozy Socks. Yes, they are very cozy. I’ll definitely be wearing these when the weather gets colder and I’ll be pairing them with an equally cozy sweater, hot cocoa and cuddly husband! Oh and I should mention that I was afraid they’d fuzz up in the wash, but they didn’t.

I am loving my socks from Socks4Life! There are lots more women’s socks to choose from, as well as socks men and kids. And everything is very reasonably priced…will definitely be returning for more!

Today, Socks4Life is Giving Away…

Got Jeans? {YMI Jeans Giveaway} CLOSED

Don’t you just love it when you find that perfect pair of jeans? You know what I mean. The ones that fit you perfectly and you wear them practically everyday.

My sister-in-law who’s sixteen and getting ready to head back to school recently had the opportunity to review a pair of Premium YMI jeans. The decision was hard since they have so many great styles and fits. The pair she picked out were the Premium Embellished Straight Leg Jean. They are super trendy and compliment her back 2 school wardrobe very nicely. They look great on her since she is a skinny mini girl, and the details are super cute. They feature a rhinestone button and accents on the back pockets which really make them pop. She did state that they fit like a “skinny” jean even though they are stated online as a “straight leg” jean. Now she can head back to school in style with her YMI Jeans!

Make sure you check out the YMI jeans at your local retailer while back 2 school shopping this season.

You are sure to find the perfect fit and style to accent your fall wardrobe.

Today, one RMRV reader is going to win their very own pair of YMI JEANS!

Let’s Twist Again {Lindo’s Giveaway} CLOSED

There are some things in life that I just can’t figure out why we are “blessed” with them.  Ants.  Morning Glory weeds.  Women’s leg hair.  Toe hair.  LA Clippers.  80’s bangs.  UPPER LIP HAIR!  Why the heck do we have upper lip hair if we are only going to stress over it and go through all the pain to get rid of it?

Waxing your lip is painful but you do it any way thinking the whole time “Beauty is pain.”  Heaven forbid you leave it!  YIKES!  That could leave you looking like a hot mess!!

Lindo’s has invented a way to remove face hair quick, easy,and painlessly.  Sounds too good to be true huh?!  But it isn’t!

Lindo’s Twist-N-Roll Tweezers gently removes hair, thick or thin, right from the root and does not cause stubble or thicker hairs to grow in.  It is so easy to use that any one can use it!  You don’t even need a mirror.  Just bend the coil to make an upside down u and twist the handles outward….TADA!  Instant hair removal!  It is the same concept of hair threading but this time it is in your home.

Another reason why this is such a great product, is unlike waxing it can be used on everyone. For example, if you are on Accutane you can not wax.  You can use the Lindo’s Twist-N-Roll Tweezers while on Accutane though!  It is natural and non-abrasive.

These retail for $17.99 but are on sale right now for $14.99.  If you order two, (one for you and one for your BFF) you get a pack of SwirliDo hair ties free!  If you order three, you get a tube of Lindo’s Hair Inhibiting Moisturizer free!

Wait?  You don’t know what the Lindo’s SwirliDo Hair Ties are?  You should have said!  Let me explain.

SwilriDo Hair Ties are the answer to all your ponytail prayers.  These little babies hold your hair, make it look cute, come out quickly, doesn’t snag hair, and won’t leave a crease!!  Awesome, I know!

SwilirDo’s come in many different colors.  I received the clear, black and grey pack.  I love them!  I use them all the time.  I have used them at the pool, water skiing—no attempting to water ski, at work, and at home.  They are wonderful.  I love that they actually hold my hair tight but won’t leave a crease like a normal pony tail holder would.  They even work great with a bun. Although they would your hair tight, they don’t give you a head ache.  It is wonderful.  They slide right out of your hair and don’t take your hair with them.

These retail for $9.99 for a pack of 8 but are on sale right now for $5.99-6.99.

Today, Lindo’s is giving one lucky winner…


A Twist-N-Roll Tweezer AND a pack of 8 SwirliDos!!

Flip Flop Your Flip Flops {Zuzatz Giveaway} CLOSED

Think about your favorite pair of shoes.  They are so comfy and so cute that you wish you would have bought them in every color, right?!  I have a few pairs of shoes just like this.  I can’t find them again or I would buy them in every color.

With the help of Zuzatz you can have your favorite sandals and every color they come in!

Zuzatz, coming from the German word zusätzlich meaning “add to”, is a company that provides fashionable footwear for women on the go.  Their interchangeable sandals are high in style and small in space, leaving more room in your closet and more money in your wallet.

With the patented QuickClick technology, simply change sandals from grocery shopping to girls night out.  From summer beach fun to sassy fun at the club!

It is as easy as 1….2….3!

A standard pair of Zuzatz comes with a sandal base and a pair of Style Straps and costs $41.00, while additional Style Straps range from $12 to $20.  Just pick a black or brown base and then go crazy with the possibilities.

These interchangeable sandals are the perfect solution for shoe obsessed girls like myself.  Talk about added closet space!  Now you can also have your favorite high heels in every color ;)

Zuzatz sent me a pair of the brown Malibu sandals (retails for $41) and a Palm Beach strap set ($12).  Two pairs of sandals for $53…only $26.50 a piece…note: I bought one pair of sandals at Target for $20 and I can not buy the next pair for $12.  I really like the sandals and LOVE that they are interchangeable.  I think this is such a great idea.  The chunky sole is nice and comfy and keeps my nice jeans from dragging on the ground.  They were a bit squeaky though…don’t know if that is just the pair I received or if they are all like that.  I like the Malibu straps better than the Palm Beach.  They were a bit roomier and I didn’t feel so constricted in them.  In fact when I compared the two, the Palm Beach straps were definitely a titch shorter.  The good news: If this happened to you, with their wonderful return or exchange policy, they could send you a new set of straps that would fit your feet.  All in all, I like the sandals and look forward to purchasing more straps.  I would really love the Laguna Beach straps (the red ones shown above) and the Redondo Beach strap.  Plus, I would love to get my feet into some of their black soles to test out if the squeakiness was just a one time coincidence or not.

Right now if you make a purchase from Zuzatz you can use the code: ZUZATZ0410 for free shipping!

Change Your Mood.  Change Your Mind.  Change Your Look In An Instant.

Today, Zuzatz is giving one lucky winner…

Vintage Hair Acessories & More! {Sucre Lulu Giveaway} CLOSED

Sucre Lulu was founded on the love for vintage fashion and accessories. Each item is handcrafted with quality fabrics; moreover they are unique and stylish.

When I was contacted by Sucre Lulu to review her hair accessories, I was ecstatic. I have always had a side of me that {hearts} vintage inspired items. I simply love the classic, whimsy look’s that they inspire.

When my package arrived I was more than delighted. In it I found two adorable onesies for my new baby girl. One for Christmas and one for Spring. They are trimmed in lace around the legs and feature gorgeous vintage designs on them. She also sent me a handful of hair pins. Oh-my-oh-my are the Beautiful. So colorful and vintage all rolled together. They look adorable clipped in my hair when I wear a ponytail, or even when I wear my hair down, I use them to pin back my bangs. I have received so many compliments on them every time I wear them.

I think Sucrelulu’s items look and feel timeless and priceless and would look adorable in any one’s hair. If you are a mommy photographer amateur or professional you will definitely want to pick up some of her items. They would photograph so beautifully and they look so classic.
