Let’s just assume you are in need of a luxurious bath experience (after all, you desire one!)– I recommend you turn to Palatium, a line of bath oils and foams that nourish, soothe, and rejuvenate; there’s not much better than that! We tested the Palatium Roman Bath Oils in three delectable scents: sweet orange (arancia dolce), spiced fig (fico speziato, and our personal favorite) and sea (Mare Myrteus), which are a rich combination of organic Tuscan olive oil combined with soybean, jojoba and primrose oils and Vitamin E and organic green and white tea extracts. As olive oil possesses natural anti-bacterial properties and is perfect for all skin types and uses, it’s found in its the purest and most aromatic-infused form in this products. As a self-declared olive oil fanatic, I can vouch for the incredible nature of this product, which perfect meshes ancient bathing rituals with contemporary desires. The Palatium Roman Bath Oils are available at ThePalatium.com and retail for $65 each for a 250ml bottle.

It’s T.J. Maxx and Marshalls! Be it a cocktail affair, an Oscar’s party, a wedding, an anniversary party – you name it — T.J. Maxx and Marshalls will surprise and amaze you. For me, my latest quest has been for several white dresses to wear to my upcoming nuptial-related celebrations. Not the wedding dress per se, but rather the bridal shower dress, rehearsal dinner dress, “magistrate/making it legal” dress, and “brunch the day after dress.” Phew- that’s a lot of dresses, and looking for a great deal is DEFINITELY at the top of my priority list.
The stores have merchandise that totally fit into what I need, at prices that I surely can’t deny; for example, the cream lace dress on the left is $79.99, the white dress on the right is $49.99, and that adorable copper sequin clutch is just $16.99 — score! The best part? With plenty of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls locations nationwide, you can always find a store, and a great fashion find. Speaking of…you can share your amazing designer find and story at the brand’s website (click here). Stay tuned for another Fashion Pulse Daily report soon of great designer deals at affordable prices that will make you do a double-take!

Just because a piece of fashion has a big name label on it, and just because it’s super expensive, doesn’t make it a must-have or chic item. A fashion victim is a sucker who buys something just because she can – with no logical thought of style and value. Here’s a few examples of items that certainly take the cake, courtesy of LollieShopping.com. Head to the site to see the rest of these luxury fashion misses!
Christian Louboutin Paw Pumps ($5000): I truly believe CL came up with these shoes to make fun of the 1% who can afford to buy them and are dumb enough to wear them. They have to be a joke, right? I mean, they HAVE to be. Oh, please tell me that CL is just a big ol’ mean girl like me and that these shoes were nothing more than a prank on rich ladies.
