Make Your Own: Sunless Tanner

This natural self-tanner is perfecto for that natural bronze look without producing that unwanted body odor. Keep in mind that you may need to adjust for skin tone and unfortunately it will only last until your next shower, but just re-apply.

What to Buy
1 tablespoon white unscented lotion
1 tablespoon pure cocoa powder
adjust to the amount of skin you want to cover

How to Make It
Mix the lotion and cocoa powder together until very smooth and creamy. Apply with a sponge or makeup wedge.

Speaking of Summer...

That's right, dreaded swimsuit shopping is here. Whether your a big girlies, skinny twig, or just that amazingly Gisele-esq perfect curvy bitch we all hate it's tough to find something that works perfectly. My personal favorites are Coco Reef bikinis. Now, up until last summer you wouldn't have caught me dead in a bikini because (not to brag) but I have very ample bosom and they just don't make suits for that plus I was way more chunky but, I digress. At least I thought they didn't make suits like that until I found them @ Macy's. So exciting!

If you are on the curvier side and are looking for more coverage you can check any major department store for a one piece to suit you. If your looking for something in the plus size department that isn't something your grandmother would wear then definitely check out Torrid. They have some really cute, flattering pieces for the real women with curves!



Lastly, if you are one of those perfect bodied people that we all hate you can probably get away with wearing this craziness. Which is unfair because it's so freaking cheap and you have a perfect body! Although the one pieces look kinda funky the separates look like you could make them work for most body types and at $10 a pop why not give it a try.

PARTAY?!

Tonight at Lola y Maria (175 Rivington St.)there will be a Quail trunk show. Now, unless your a hardcore fan trunk shows can be somewhat dissapointing, I mean a sneak peek, 10%, or 15%off is cool but unless this is a designer that your all about you can wait for it to go on sale. Well, this trunk show is a bit different. Join the ladies at Lola y Maria from 7 to 10, for an exclusive shopping event featuring Quail's Summer 2007 Collection. Aside from getting a sneak preview of what's to come for summer, there will be cocktails (woo hoo), special discounts (of course), artwork by Danny Simon (hmm different), and the biggest surprise is a live performance by Delta Spirit (live music always a plus). Let me know how it is, because unfourtunatly (for me) I can't go.

Going To The Dark Side,,,

Everyone has seen people walking around in the most fashionable city in the world (woo hoo NYC) with the most unfashionable shoes on the face of the planet. You know what I'm talking about, the dreaded Crocs... It all started when three Boulder, Colorado founders decided to develop and market an innovative type of footware. They were originally intended as a boating/outdoor shoe because of the slip-resistant, non-marking sole but by 2003 Crocs had seeped it's way into our everyday life. Now, I have a confession to make, I have tried on Crocs. For shame I know but, my mom bought a pair and I was honestly curious what all the raving was about. I have to say they really are some of the most comfortable things I have ever worn! But, I still will not give in because however comfy they are, they remain quite hideous... Well, I didn't give in until now, they have different styles available other than the colored clogs with holes (yuck). The ones I am loving right now are flip flops, perfect for the summer months and o so comfy! One of us... Ones of us... One of us...
