summer sault

Since the countdown to the first day of summer begins in 5,4,3,2,1, days.  I am overtly excited to share my SS2012 picks from all of my designer love bugs ─prada, d&g, moschino “cheap and chic and diane von furstenburg!  Happy Saturday! 

gum drops

Lately the weather has been quite confusing, last month our rain consumption was torrential for may; to the point I had to question, “what month are we in?” Now that june has arrived, it seems this soaking trend is following once again. “Could it be the lack of snowflakes we didn’t receive this winter?”, “maybe!”, but it sparks my need for something I haven’t owned since, I’d say, high school ─rain boots!  Which gumdrop shade would you splash in?

flat foot

Ah, j.crew has once again tantalized me with their copious display of ballet flats. These charming flats bring me back to my childhood days as a prima ballerina, but with a colorful, no strings attached twist.  If I had one stylish wish it would be─ to receive each pair individually boxed and prettified with a whimsy bow, placed on my doorstep, with a powder pink note attached that reads: “to: beenalabella…love, the crew” Hey, a girl can dream big! 

sugar coated

While most are experimenting with glitter polish on their nails, I am aiming in another direction─ my toes! Their hidden 3 out of 4 seasons, why not adorn them in shimmer for their grand appearance this summer. Add a glittered tropical deep sea hue, and you will have the prettiest pedi in town, defining the true meaning of ─twinkle toes!  Which color would you coat your toes with?

citrus kiss

My Avon representative days have finally come to an end, but I couldn't say good-bye without stocking up on some of the indispensable products. One in particular, is the skin so soft: soft indulgences collection (4 for $12.99 set, $35 value). This citrus-scented combo has such a cool, invigorating and energizing aroma. It comes with a body mist, two body gel crèmes and one shower gel. Talk about a hot deal, right in time for the hot season to come. I can already imagine myself with a sun kissed tan, coated with this alluring staple as my signature summer scent.
