Jean Jeannie

Jeans from Heaven- I love my jeans from every where- particularly H&M, BlueBee and Uniqlo. They are the comfiest :) Now those stores are quite a spread in terms of prices. I am going to add more to that list to make things even more complicated....

The thing is that you do always have to have jeans of varying prices and varying materials. There are some that are for every day fun. They get stretched & they get beat up. There are also occasions where you want to look really nice, but you don't want to look like you tried to hard. Expensive jeans are just the thing. They fit in all the right places and they just have that obvious quality that others don't.
I am not going to argue in terms of comfort that price makes that big a difference, but as much as I love my H&M jeans, I break out by Genetic Denim when I know I am going to be seen by that cute guy in my Spanish class.

Sugar Dilemma

Today's post isn't as jolly as usual because I was just talking to my mom about my uncle's diabetes. Its a tough and expensive condition that way to many people suffer from. Anyway, this is for all of you out there who are glucose challenged:

Along the same line, I want to recommend making carrot muffins with flax and cinnamon. I make them all the time and you don't even need to add more than a table spoon or so of brown sugar. I make the recipe up as I go and I don't think I have gotten the ratio down yet (when I do, I will post it) It requires: flour, ground flax seed, carrots, eggs, cinnamon, salt, slight sugar, walnuts. They are nutritious and delicious!

Summer Bummer?

I have to start planning for the summer once more. I got an email back about one of the internships I applied to requesting phone interview, but then sadly they emailed me the day of the scheduled interview to say that they had already filled the position. The worst part is that I still have no job experience so I probably won't even be able to get a job busting tables. Woe is me. Atleast I will have the freedom to travel, I suppose. There is the teensy issue of money always, but what's a couple hundred in the face of my super gigantic college tuition? anway, I have finals to stress me out, the summer is supposed to be for fun and sun.... right?
Hope to hear some summer plans!

Best Flight Deals to New York/JFK
Definitely going to be in New York for part of the summer although I heard that the summer is a sweltering.
Seriously, wish me luck.

Discount Designers

Keeping up with fashion isn't always affordble, but if you are like me and you want to have nice things, then you should really check out the following:
1. Ideeli- you have to be invited so use this link: www.ideeli.com/invite/liebeloveamor
2. Hautelook- Up to 80% off on Designer Brands at Editors’ Closet Private Sales Events
3. GiltGroup- big designers (a little more of the expensive stuff)
4. DailyCandy.com

These are for women who think like you do- about Marc Jacobs and Gucci glasses and sample sales. More importantly, the deals usually are amazing. I love my Michael Kors Sequin dress that I ordered as well as my new shoes from Burberry that were over 50% off. So exciting and so thrifty.
In a recession, its stylish to save.

Makeup Minerals

So, of course as I am on my way to through the teen year exit, my skin still retains its acne prone obsession. The good news is that I am at that age where a ton of makeup isn't necessarily out of the norm, but it certainly can be tedious to apply and expensive. I started with the whole "minerals" craze after I used a friends makeup before a dance in high school. To be honest, I have never looked back because liquid foundation always felt like it was suffocating my face. Also, because its a new idea, every minerals company seems to give out free samples and these samples actually last a long time. I say, "milk it!" You can simultaneously find the brand that is right for you and stock up on some free cover-up. I recommend starting with the Colour Correcting Foundation Primer in Green from pur minerals. This one specifically gets rid of red skin from acne as well as less common conditions such as rosacea. If you don't need that much help, just go for one of the simple lines.
I break out less using the mineral line than I do with my earlier liquid stuff, but sometimes it does make my face itchy or make me sneeze.
I seem to be allergic to one of the minerals that happens to be in the Bare Minerals collection so that's why I started branching out to begin with. Its always a good idea to check out all your options.

Springy and Strappy

It's officially Spring and my tan lines are very aware of this fact. After a good week of sun, I have the mst awesome tan lines from my flats. Obviously, I need to break out the sandals, but alas... I left all my non winter wardrobe at home. Luckily, this means that a new pair of strappy sandals is totally justified- and there is no shoe better to avoid obvious tan tines than a good pair of Gladiators. Personally, I think the criss-cross pattern it makes on my foot is kinda cool.
For some reason sandals are always totally overpriced, but this pair of
Libia Gladiator Sandals in Sahara at Shopgoldyn is totally worth it... Can't wait!

For those who have everything...

No one ever talks about food from New Zealand- or New Zealand for that matter. This website shows you what you are missing and the prices really aren't that bad. Because there aren't really that many foods from New Zealand here, if you are looking for an exotic present, this website could be the perfect place to find one... Delivery is about $8 so try to buy things in bulk to make it worth it.
