Sephora’s Perfect Summer Pony

Samantha — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 18:55:20 +0000

Warm Summer months has many of us with long hair in ponytails. Layered hair is popular and common for long and short ends which can make it difficult to pull all hair up and out of the way. Frizzy, frazzled ends that are highlighted, sunroof top down frayed, and pool water drenched doesn’t help to smooth into a sophisticated pony.

Sephora beauty has caught on to the modern girl’s summer dilemma and created a product called HerCut.

HerCut is a ponytail emollient styling lotion that smoothes and controls straight or wavy strands to create the perfect ponytail! I have NOT personally tried this, but sounds interesting and worth a try.

Not only does HerCut have styling lotion product for the perfect summer pony, they have a whole line of conditioners, and other balms for every type of haircut including the bob, the shag, the pixie, and more!

ONLINE FREEBIE: Be the first to try HerCut’s new Ponytail Styling Lotion—FREE with any Sephora online purchase. Enter PONYTAIL at checkout, choose either Straight or Curly formula, and create the sleekest, swingy-est ponytail, ever.

Ann Taylor vs. Ann Taylor LOFT

Samantha — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 23:19:40 +0000

As I approach my middle 20’s my style is transitioning from main stream teen to more a sophisticated working woman with unique style. Ann Taylor clothing has such beautiful and sophisticated pieces that any woman can wear while feeling feminine and professional at the same time.
When I was beginning to search for Ann Taylor in my area there were two separate stores; Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor LOFT. Both stores looked somewhat similar with their design, shape, style, and color of clothes, but I was unsure what the difference was…

Here is what I have compiled:

Ann Taylor: Your Mother’s Store. More conservative style, business professional. Size 0-18, XXS-XXL, Wedding & Events Collection,

Ann Taylor LOFT: Your Store. More “sexy” casual designed for the younger buyer, middle to younger business woman. Less expensive than Ann Taylor. Size 00-18, XXS-XXl. Beach Collection,

Below is a picture of items I picked off both Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor LOFT online store so you can get a feel of the looks both stores have.

Every girl has at least one pair of sophisticated heels that make them feel sexy and confident. Shoes Are A Girl’s Best Friend.

Designing has always been a dream of hers so she took a few pairs of her old favorite shoes and added a few things to create something funky and unique.

Her shoes are not for sale or sold in stores anywhere, but just something she created for fun!

Check them out below:
