e.l.f. and the $1 make-up

Mar 22, 2012 | Susu

“Eyes, Lips, Face” is a super-cheap make-up line.  Too cheap to believe – most items are priced at $1 – $2.  That’s right, $1.  Not on sale, not a close-out, but everyday $1.    The package size is smaller and in stores like Target, e.l.f. is often found in the sample bins.  And while you may […]

Lady-like.

D-I-Y Neon color blocking

Jul 25, 2011 | Susu

I am not a D-I-Y’er.  My one and only DIY project involved a newly-wedded bathroom renovation that ended in tears (me) and beers (he) among the Mexican saltillo tiles.  But DIY-ing is HUGE in fashion, home, bridal and beyond, and some brave new soul is always thinking up a way to take a trend and […]

Make your own havaianas.

May 24, 2011 | Susu

The options are not nearly as cute as the SOLD OUT Missoni for Havaianas.  But, if you’re good with paying $35 to pick your own colors and bling, you can go online to havaianas.com and design your own here. This strikes me as a fun if expensive “school’s out for summer” treat for a 10 […]
