Spring/Summer 2014 Beauty and Fashion Collaborations

If you are a fashionista, you have no doubt already heard about and seen pics at least of the Peter Pilotto for Target collection. I’ve actually indulged and picked up some of the pieces that tickled my fancy. (I will expose my items later). That being said, I’ve been in anticipation of what other new collections and collaborations will debut in S/S 2014. I did some research and compiled a list that includes beauty and fashion. Mark your calendars for the collections you are most interested in because these types of releases always draw large shopping masses and what you want could go out of stock quickly! Whose collection are you most excited about?

Mina's Handbags & Accessories Review

Every girl loves a great bag, right? Let me introduce you to a lovely clutch that I was gifted from Mina’s Handbags & Accessories. I actually attempted to purchase the clutch but the owner (whose name is Sabrina) is super sweet and decided to send the clutch while refusing to accept payment. Anyhoo, the shipping was really fast (we live in the same metro area) and I’m sure shipping to any location would be fast. The clutch was neatly wrapped in a lovely wrapping paper. The clutch is impeccably made by hand. The zipper is of obvious quality and the details are great. The inside boasts of a unique bright green tribal-like print. If only I could also wear this clutch inside out lol, but I digress. There is a tag on the inside of the clutch so you never forget where you bought it. This clutch was made with love and it is definitely worth the price I was going to pay before I knew it was being gifted to me. Check out the pics and afterwards head over to the site and see what you like. I’m thinking of doing a giveaway soon for one of these bags. Stay tuned!

In the Mood for “Mints”

I was hesitant at first but I gave into Jewelmint and Shoemint. Yes…I didn’t think that I would EVER be interested in either but we all know the saying: “never say never”. I now have an abundance of Mint products but it was my recent purchases from Shoemint that has me stoked. I purchased Pauline in wine first, as I was immediately drawn to these. I loved the sleek and abnormal design. The color is one that I do not have in my shoe collection. Score! When I received the shoes I was just as happy as when I first saw them on the site, plus I got a free Night Owl necklace with my purchase. The shipping was great and I am a stickler about shipping because I HATE waiting on packages. It was an all around good experience with Shoemint so I decided to make another purchase after I saw a video on YT that showcased yet another pair of Shoemints: the coveted “Edith” in blush. When this shoe came in the mail and I saw them “live” I fell helplessly in love. These shoes are not what I am normally drawn to but I am happy I took a chance. They fit perfect (I’d suggest ordering a full size up), the quality is great and they are comfortable. I saw this shoe on Steve Madden’s website for about $124, so I think for $49.99 these shoes are a steal! I paid $49.99 because I used a coupon code for $30 off. The Shoemint membership is $79.99 a month but you can “skip” a month for free if you’d like. I try to always use a coupon code so I’ve never paid full price for a Mint product. If you like the pics you see, take a peak at Shoemint!
