Russell Organics Body Polish to Smooth your Skin

by

We all love our high heels and what they do for us right? We gain a few inches of height, great leg definition and a blast of confidence, but heels also take quite a toll on our feet. I don’t think much more needs to be said of the resulting damage one long night on the town in four inch heels can do, (or two or three).

The aforementioned issues  set the stage for why why I’m so impressed with Russell Organics Lemon Jojoba Body Polish, a richly moisturizing and gently exfoliating formula that removes rough areas and revitalizes dull skin. Chock full of organic citrus, lavender, and aloe essential oils it not only moisturizes but detoxifies your skin while smelling incredibly delicious. All you have to do is apply a good amount onto your body and massage for 30 seconds, then wash off! And what you’ll be washing off is an organic, cruelty free, and vegan product composed of the purest, most effective natural ingredients. Also, Russell Organics opts to not package their products in boxes (hence they are a carbon free company), because of the waste, and only uses recyclable plastic containers to house their luxury skincare products-great idea! Not only is it eco-friendly but there is also no time commitment to use, only half a minute to smooth out all your rough edges and for $36, I think that Russell Organics Lemon Jojoba Body Polish is definitely worth it. We also tried and absolutely loved the Combava Exfoliating Face Wash ($36),  a mild exfoliant that is lightweight, creamy, and non-abrasive, as well as the Organic French Lavender Shower Gel ($16), which is paraben and SLS free, not to mention incredibly aromatic and soothing!

Ultra Velvet for Daytime Drama

by

velvet-dresses-fall-2009

Via our friends at thefinds.com:

Velvet is not just for evening anymore. These ultra modern velvet dresses are just as appropriate for day as they are for night. The look is simple and clean in gorgeous shades and graphic patterns. From burnout designs to pleats and geometrics, velvet dresses are a pretty way to infuse a bit of night time luxury into your wardrobe. This classic fabric has never looked so modern! Pair with simple but bold accessories. We love the shades of black and crimson for fall.

Minimal with an avant guard edge, the Alexander Wang Burnout Velvet Combo Dress ($420.00 at Shopbop.com, top left) is simplicity at its best. The dress features a jersey and velvet burnout asymmetric panel at the shoulder. From Diane von Furstenberg’s Grano printed velvet wrap dress ($345 at Net-a-Porter) features an abstract all over animal print in striking jewel tones. I love the three quarter draped sleeves, low v-neck and self tie wide fabric belt. A pretty look for daytime with opaque tights with pumps then remove the tights for cocktails and pair bare legs with some strappy platform sandals. As seen on the runways, the Chloe Draped velvet dress ($2,940 at Net-a-Porter) adds dramatic the appeal of an ’80s silhouette for one of the more noteworthy events on your agenda.

Pair pretty velvet pumps with a velvet dress or your favorite little black dress for a classic polished evening look. We found a pair of luxe Christian Louboutin Lady Page Velvet-Bow Pumps ($995 at NeimanMarcus.com) and for less pick up a pair of budget-friendly Mossimo Dulce Velvet Peep Toe Pumps in black ($24.99 at Target.com).
