My Dirty Little Secret ;-)

It's gotta be a sin to spend this much on a pair of leggings but look....they have a zipper.  These bad boys are by Hard Tail and are availale at Bloomingdale's for a mere $72.00. I get paid at the end of the week and I think, for the sake of  my readers ;-), I need to invest in these leggings and I'll let y'all know if they feel as good as they look. I think I'll wear leggings forever. Even when no one else is wearing them. I LOVE leggings. But for real, we are in a recession and you can get a great pair of long leggings for $12.95 at H&M. Those are the ones I currently own and I can tell you the feel GREAT! 

I'm So Gangsta'

Fedora hats have a history of being the choice hat for gangsters in Bonnie and Clyde's day. It takes a certain type of person to be able to pull of this hat without looking like a total poser. Who says Fedora's should only be reserved for halloween and mobster themed parties? These hats are always in season but for fall, try them in a felt or tweed material. 

See You Again by Miley Cyrus

This song is so hot and it's my guilty pleasure. I'm sorry. Miley is only 16 and probably has no idea what it really means to feel like she’s known some guy in another life. I mean the only person I feel like I may have known in another life is my sister and sometimes my cat Lefty. Anyhow, I’ve been using this song as my ringtone for the past few months and I rock out whenever it’s on the radio. When you listen to it, just try to forget she’s better known as Hannah Montana.


Aveeno's Skin Relief Shower and Bath Oil Changed my Life!!!!

 

 Alright, so maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration but it made my skin surprisingly soft. I'd tried using baby lotion to achieve skin as soft as a baby's....yeah I know. I don't even know where I came up with that one. It didn't do much more than make me smell like a baby which I think people thought was a bit weird. Well anyways, I was hanging out with my boyfriend a couple nights ago and he was stroking my back when he made the comment that my skin felt a little dry.Bless his heart, I know he wasn't trying to be mean, and I didn't get upset but I couldn't seem to shake it. So, right after I left I went to the grocery store and bought this stuff. I used it the next morning and I must say it was one of the best items I've bought on impulse.



Keep warm with leg arm warmers

Have you ever had a hoodie or a long sleeve tee where the sleeves are just a bit to short but you wear it anyways? Then you need these.They're cool and that all there is to it! The pair on the left are by One Star. I bought them at Target for $12.99 two weeks ago. I wore them out to a football game and then to the bar. It was cool cuz I looked edgy and could still hold my beer while my hands kept warm.

It's fUGGin cold outside 


For those of you who are new to BOG I'm all about a great sale. But sometimes, you should splurge on somethings that I like to call "investments". These are an investment. I got my first pair about 5 years. I was skeptical about them cuz they were so hyped up you know? But let me tell you something, with 'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 36. you definitely get your money's worth. Some people call them fUGG's and hey, to each his own. I have a strong disliking for Crocs and I don't care what anyone says, they are NOT comfortable. But back  to what I was saying. These boots are some of the most comfy shoes you'll ever put on your feet. It seriously feels like you're walking on clouds. Plus, in Virginia, where the temp changes a lot, you can wear them most of the year. I don't know the science behind but it does bring me to my next point. If you want to wear them just cuz they're cool looking go ahead. But I guarantee your knock-offs won't be nearly as comfy as the real deal. I speak from experience. If you wanna know it they're worth the money? Let me scream it loud and clear. YES!For those of you who are new to BOG I'm all about a great sale.

Good skin is always in!

Now, not by any means am I going to try to "sell" you this product but I will tell you why it's the best year-round body lotion. I have dry skin. I mean, if I don't put on lotion right after getting out of the shower, I WILL get ashy...even in the summer. So. If you are like me, and you have really dry itchy skin that you have to moisturize after every shower or bath, this is the lotion for you. It's light weight on your skin and your pockets. Not only does it get the job done, but it does it well. Originally I'd bought this lotion because I read in a magazine that Kelly Rowland uses it to achieve a bronzed glow....Yeah.... about that.... Girls got great skin and everything but it didn't make me glow. Other than that, I've since been in a committed, some times open, relationship with this lotion.
