Andrea's Beau

A few minutes ago I was reading a blog that mentioned a hair accessories brand known as Andrea's Beau. So, I decided to mosey on over to their website & take a look. OMG!

They make their hair accessories for both women & girls, & they have a wide variety of cute styles.

The ZannClip

I was recently given the opportunity to to try the ZannClip (Thanks Suzanne!).

Oh if only these had been around when I had long hair!

Because of the top coil of the barrette & the fact that it comes in 3 sizes, it can automatically adjust to the thickness of your hair w/o pinching, pulling, or yanking. It is also very versatile.

Besides the traditional ponytail you can create a variety of stylish updos as well. Overall, I think this is a very ingenious idea & I mourn the fact that this wasn't around when I had long hair. What trouble it would've saved me! I heartily recommend this product for purchase - Click!

Oscar Night 2009

These photos showcase the standouts of the evening. I thought Anne Hathaway looked elegant in her Armani dress & her overall look had a bit of old Hollywood glamor going on.

Evan Rachel Wood's Art Deco inspired dress was also gorgeous, & Kate Winslet's one shoulder slate blue w/black overlay dress was a stunner as well! There were others I liked too, but I think these were my favorites of the evening.

What were your favorites of the evening?

Dress Up Shoe

Do you love shoes? Would you love it if one pair of shoes could be made to look different each day, depending on your outfit & mood? Enter Dress Up Shoe. This kind of thing makes me wish I could wear normal shoes, they look so neat! You buy one very basic black pair of sandal shoes & then you accessorize them with "shoe jewelry".

You can buy a set that includes:

• An ankle strap that hooks on the heel of the shoe
• An anklet that pins to the toe strap & clasps around the ankle
• 2 brooches that you can pin to the toe strap instead of using the anklet
• A necklace/bracelet to be used w/the brooches
  

Once you see what they've got, you'll probably want to buy several sets, besides the shoes. And you'll be able to do so a lot easier since they have created a coupon code, for 15% off, that is just for you, my readers! Just enter DIVASHOP at checkout.

Avon/Mark Wishlist

I got my Avon & Mark Catalogs & their are several items from each that are on my wishlist. Some are new, but some have been around for a little while. From Avon, their are some shadows, shadow sticks, & all over color sticks that I would love to have. You can see the items in my wished for colors below.





From Mark, there's some hook-ups & a clutch I'd like to get, shown below.





Hopefully I'll be able to get some of these. As always, if I do get any of them, you can count on me for some reviews!

Cashmere Set

Ahh, the plush silky-softness, & warmth of cashmere! As a new member of BuzzParadise, I received a beautiful Eric Bompard cashmere gift set, consisting of a hat & a pair of gloves.

My set came in a beautiful turquoise color that just about anyone could wear & it feels sooo soft. Being a low-income, disabled individual, I haven't really had much opportunity to experience cashmere for myself & it's so nice! Eric Bompard's line of cashmere items includes both accessories & clothing.

I also received a catalog with my set, and talk about a beautiful, striking, catalog! Their catalog is very professional. I don't know what regular customers get with their catalog, but mine came with cashmere swatches in a variety of different colors.

When all is said & done, they have beautiful, silky-soft, cashmere items (I love my gift set!), & they put out a very professional catalog. The downside? It's expensive, just as you would expect with cashmere, but it's lovely!

SmartHeel®

I have been informed about a new, revolutionary product that protects the heel on your high heels. Those who wear high heels know that the heel is the most vulnerable to damage.

The SmartHeel^® is intended to protect the heel from "on-the-street & other en route damage". Such a product can help to avoid costly repairs, or even worse, irreparable damage. Once you arrive at your destination, you can remove the SmartHeel easily & show of your shoes!

Will these fit my heels, you say? Most likely! They are working on several different designs for several different types of shoes. They will have SmartHeels that will fit:

• 3"-4" high heels (available)
  
• wider 3"-4" high heels (in the works)
• thin medium heels 13/4"-3" high (in the works)
• short kitten heels (in the works)

They are designed to be "as universal as possible w/o compromising the beauty of the shoe." It's good to have a set for each pair of heels, because each one can be customized to fit a certain pair of shoes & "develops a memory for that pair."

Each pair of SmartHeels comes w/an instruction booklet & you can watch a demo video on their website or you can watch it below. At less than $10 a pair, this will be a huge money-saver to those who wear heels!
