Lately I’ve been obsessed with these new LnA Olivia Leggings I purchased online. I first was introduced to the brand LnA when one of my favorite stylists was dressing her celebrity clients with these LnA Olivia leggings, which she swore by. They basically suck everything in at the right places while being super comfortable.

They are very versatile, you can wear them with a pair of high heels at night or during the day with your flat boots. They are a bit on the pricey side — $95 ( I got 25% off bc of Black Friday Promo) but they do magic. After all the rave, I have to say that I am extremely happy with them!! I have received numerous compliments on how great my ass-ets looks:)

They run a bit small so make sure you check out their sizing guide first!

For some styling ideas see how Kim has rocked them:

Lately I’ve been getting into an organization kick, where everything needs to have a proper place. Recently I purchased this Filgree Jewlery Hook from Urban Outfitters and it’s perfect! It comes in three colors and keeps all my necklaces, earrings, and bracelets super organized.  It also looks very artistic at the same time:)

Brace yourselves! Rodarte pieces will be available at Target this Sunday- both in stores and online! This much anticipated collection includes some great staple pieces at a very affordable price. For a sneak peak click here.

“Rodarte was founded in Pasadena, California in 2005 by Kate and Laura Mulleavy, who presented their first complete collection to accolades during February 2005 New York Fashion Week.  The acclaimed Rodarte collection, named after their mother’s maiden name, calls to mind old-world couture with intricate hand-stitching and unexpected details.” – Target Pressroom

Lastnight I was catching up on my favorite blogs and I came across a “Best of 2009″ post. The best moisturizer of the year was Origin’s Perfect World. Since I’m a sucker for trying out new facial products I thought I would give it a swirl. I swung by the Origin’s counter on my way to work today and asked if I could have a sample of this oh so “decadent” moisturizer to see how I like it before I pay up.

The best part about this moisturizer is that it has White Tea in it which is among the most potent antioxidants, anti-agers, anti-stress, and anti-pollution antidotes. Check out the Origin’s site for more ingredient details.

I also checked out some reviews online and 17 users gave it a 4.65/5! So maybe this Perfect World is the perfect moisturizer.
