WTF Friday: Attack of the Killer Fabric

Happy Friday everyone! WTF Friday is in full force! And here we go...

Oh Ciara...girlfriend...I know that fur vests are "in", but this maribou jacket is engulfing you. Attack of the maribou jacket!!! Not only does it make her upper half look insanely large (and this chica is teeny tiny), but it looks like the fattest, furriest cat just imploded on her shoulders. YIKES. Repita - burn.this.jacket.now.

And RiRi. WTF. Her grammy dress was a stunner, but this frock looks like an art project gone awry. I know Rihanna likes to push the envelope, but this look does nothing for her It's like she's riding the biggest chiffon wave I've ever seen.

Any WTFs you've spied this week?

Cubicle to Cocktails: Deconstructed Suits!

Hi all! This has seriously been a long week, hasn't it?

Up today is the Thursday Special - Cubicle to Cocktails! Today's edition features a plain black skirt suit - for all of you corporate chicas out there, I guarantee that you have one in your closet. It's plain, it's boring, it's basic - it's a suit.

SO, to take your look to cocktail hour see the look below. What's great about a well-fitting suit it that, clearly, you can deconstruct it and use each piece on its own. I broke down this basic beauty and paired the plain black jacket with a trendy lace mini. Justine who writes a lovely blog, Fetching Fashions, blogged about this little wonder just a week ago.

AND...much to my husband's chagrin, I picked one up at F21 - it really is super versatile and a great piece overall! It's definitely on the trendy side, but for $25, I'll get my wear out of it in no time. Very french....or Carrie Bradshaw...whatever.

So, what do you think of today's Cubicle to Cocktails?

So, I wanted to theme today's Cheap Thrills with smells...I know, sounds weird, but as Jimmy John's says, "Smells are free!"

Here are my favorite cheap thrills - scented edition!

Product Review: Garnier Nutrisse Wonder Waves Wave-Enhancing Spray, B

Hi everyone!

Hope you all had a great weekend! Up for review today is Garnier Nutrisse's Wonder Waves Spray. This spray is supposed to...

"...enhance and shapes your natural waves, creating a soft, tousled look. Lightweight formula provides smooth definition, shine and frizz control. Can be used anytime, anywhere to revive the shape of your waves."

I gave it a try last week with my newly shorn locks. FYI - I cut off 5 inches of hair on Friday evening...so I'm trying out different styling techniques and products. So, here's the skinny...

The Good: For $3.99, this wave spray pretty much does what it claims. It helps to create tousled waves and adds body to your hair. I can't speak for those who have pin straight hair, but it definitely did the job on my wavy locks. It also adds body, smells great and lasts for hours.

The Bad: No one likes a crunchy head - especially me. While I really dig the results, I did experience a few "crunchy curls" around my head. The reduce the tad bit of crunchiness, I recommend spraying the product into your hands and distributing throughout your hair, rather than haphazardly spraying around your head.

The Verdict:  Overall, this product gets a B for me. While it just about lives up to its claims, I still get a teeny bit of "crunch" from the spray. If you really want to get that wavy look, give this product a try in conjunction with a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer. While I'll continue to use this spray, I am always on the lookout for a great, affordable wave spray!

Any affordable wave sprays you recommend?
