Inspo from Alba Rosa

Friday, November 11th, 2011 | 22 Comments

Sometimes Alba Rosa really surprises me and I end up liking so much from their collection. I saw a few of these on Tumblr and thought I should check out the online store. This season is definitely one from them I love! Their concept includes “Healthy like sunshine. Sexy like sunset. Fresh like sea breeze.” They mainly focus on having a “resort” feel to their clothing. It’s interesting to see how that idea plays into winter collections.

So these were my favorite looks. All from Fashionwalker.com.

Past Weekends

Saturday, August 21st, 2010 | 48 Comments

I picked up a few travel items yesterday. Anti-nausea gum, LOL. I’ve used “Sea-Band” patches in the past so when I saw there was this ginger gum I figured “why not!” I usually take Dramamine :F but I hate taking it for short trips (45 minute metro rides and such.) So I’ll give this a try! I also decided to take a gamble on a new product for thin, flat hair! I say gamble because these often don’t work. But, but! At first I thought these were the same because they were packaged together and I thought the “travel size” was the same product. But actually it’s got2B’s Fat-tastic instant collagen “mega-lift root-boosting spray” and “thickening non-aerosol hairspray.”

I used the root boost spray on my bed head this morning. I took a bath yesterday so my hair was already, well, kinda weighed down with oil. BUT, I was pretty pleased with the results! It wasn’t 0 - 100x’s better but it did add volume and body that it actually looked like I had blow dried a freshly washed head of hair! :good: Haahaa, my bed head is REALLY thin and straight & flat.

So I’ll try the hairspray tomorrow. I wonder if they work well together or if that’ll be too much product & it’ll just weigh my hair back down? We’ll see. I really like the root lift spray bottle. It has a really sensitive trigger but goes on easily and is like a finer mist than some products. Also my hair still had some body after napping a few hours on it.

Yeah, I didn’t do much today. Went and had a nice breakfast then walked around a bit. Watched “The Men Who Stare at Goats” and fell asleep.

I haven’t posted weekend outfits lately so here’s this Saturday’s and last Saturday’s

My nails this past week. Simple cream pink with gold tips. I bought the yellow color of the Insta-Dri yesterday! My nails are now yellow with some black splatters on a few of them.

I also got these Dr. Scoll’s FAST FLATS. You can see the commercial for them here.

I figured I’d get them for the trip since I walk miles upon miles there! This way I can wear out any new shoes I buy but if they start tearing up my feet too much I can slip these on!

They were about $9. I wish they came in half sizes. :F I’m a 6.5 but had to bump up to the 7-8 size. The 5-6 fit/looked better on but were a tiny bit too tight. The 7-8’s fit OK, not too tight, but don’t look quite as sleek on because the fit is looser. But it’s fine. There’s been SO MANY SITUATIONS where I could have seriously used a tiny folded up pair of quick flats!

They come in a little pouch that they fold up into for easy carriage. We’ll see how well these work!

Last weekend was better for getting out! We went and finally saw Hubble 3D! It was playing at the IMAX theater inside the National Air & Space Museum. So afterward you could roam around the museum and see the Hubble m,model too! It’s really good, I recommend seeing it if you’re a big space nut like myself. There are moments when you get really lost in it as you’re traveling through the stars in 3D~~ It was well worth racing to! The metro had delays so we nearly missed the beginning
