  If you live in one of these cities (which we, sadly, do not) tell the hubby/ boyfriend/fiance you’ve made other plans for the big game this Sunday. We scored on SpoiledPretty with this Bliss Spa event.
    So, if mani/pedis and free Bliss swag sound better to you than drinking beer and listening to grown men [...]

My name is Jewels and I’m a tanaholic. Or, I used to be.
   Ladies, let’s be honest. We all feel sexier, skinnier, and more confident when we have that fresh sun kissed glow. I remember summers at my family’s beach house in Florida, drenching my body with Banana Boat tanning oil and waking up [...]

    We don’t love the stylists in charge of the editorials over at Lucky Magazine. However, once in a while they surprise us with a really great fashion idea or beauty inspiration.  This “how-to” in the February 2009 issue is  NOT one of those.
       A blazer and a tent-size, shapeless dress should [...]

We can’t get enough of the shoe candy at GoJane.com. Chic enough for the glammest of girls and cheap enough to keep your bank account happy! We found a few of our favorites and one pair we’re not so sure about. What do you think?
Indulge and Enjoy. Love  J&J
One of our favorites! We can’t wait [...]

We love gifts!! Especially when we get to pick out what comes inside! Macy’s and Lancome are teaming up to bring us this ‘Travel Chic Gift’, free with any $29.50 purchase. The make-up bag, alone, will inspire you to book next weekend in Palm Springs.
Choose your free mini cleanser and anti-aging moisturizer then dig into [...]

    By now you’ve formed your own opinion of  Michelle Obama’s inaugural gown. We, personally, were not a fan. By trying to take a fashion risk she ended up playing it too safe. We wanted to see her in something more sophisticated rather than little girlish. We do give her an A for taking a [...]

Checklist for weekend in Vegas, Baby!: 1) Mani/Pedi in vibrant, sparkly color that I wouldn’t normally wear. 2) Pack new sequined backless BCBG top, mini dress, and itty bitty bikini. 3) Bikini wax so that I’m presentable in itty bitty bikini. 
    I never quite made it through that list. I’m a very busy girl, you [...]

     Yes, we fell in love with the Manolo Blahnik ‘Something Blue Satin Pumps’ from the SATC movie but, remember that other great pair of shoes that Carrie wore throughout the film? The black Christian Dior ‘Extreme Dior Gladiator Platform’ sandals. I’m a sucker for anything unexpected and these babies fit the bill. A [...]

       I recently read Fashionista or Reccessionista!!?? Why can’t I be both?! Obviously, the fashionista in me  would  love to indulge with semi-permanent eyelash extensions but, seriously, who can afford to shell out $150.00 to replace them every three months? Not me. Not in this economy.
      I decided to suck it up and head to Target for the most beloved of all beauty products. Mascara. Something [...]

We’ve all been there before. Sitting on the floor. Crying. Our patchworked head in our newly manicured hands. The $20 manicure (including tip) that is now covered in black hair dye because we truly believed (in vain) that we could take matters of the hair into our own hands. This was the scene that my [...]
