Amy Tan Collection Oh What Fun Tafeta Pleated Midi Skirt

We love these big, bold brightly colored taffeta ball skirts! You’re going to be the hit of every part East OR West of the Mississipi. These gorgeous taffeta midi skirts can be styled so many different ways and worn all year round.

To take a more casual turn we love the Oh What Fun Sweatshirt. Amy says, “This sweatshirt epitomizes what I wanted my collection for Cents of Style to represent—plain & simple fun! Grab this piece and add it to your look- from bright to boring- and make something fun happen!” Do you know how to make every situation fun? Whether you are running the carpool, cleaning the house, or having a night on the town, you know how to enjoy every second of it. Show it off with this bold sweatshirt that pairs with your favorite joggers or skinnies. So you can enjoy the next experience that comes up.

How awesome is this All the Things Cosmetic Bag?!? “You know you want ‘em, you have to have ‘em—you love all the things!” says Amy. “This cute cosmetic tote is perfect for hauling your ‘essentials’ to and fro. I love the ease of throwing my pencils, stickers and fun tapes in this clutch for fun days away and journaling through it!” It’s all the things in the world. Your make-up takes you from casual to fancy with the flick of an eyeshadow. Keep all of your cosmetics in this ultra durable canvas bag with plenty of space for all of your essentials. With a printed “all the things”, you can keep your eye shadow nearby and change your day.

The collection is always a great deal, but today 1/23/17 you can get an additional 25% OFF the lowest marked price, + FREE SHIPPING with code FUN17. The code is valid 1/23/17 only!

Vibrate Your Hair to Perfection with the Protégé Vibrating 1.5 Flat Iron

Leave a reply

A lot of you may not believe me when I tell you this, but I’ve been using the same flat iron since college, which was 6 years ago! It still worked just fine, but I’ll admit that it had gotten a little nasty over the years and it probably wasn’t working as great as it was when I first purchased it. I was really excited when I received the Protégé Vibrating 1.5 Flat Iron to test out!

My first thought was that I’ve never heard of a vibrating flat iron. I didn’t know whether to be excited, skeptical, or a combination of both. I was worried that the vibration might be too strong that it would tickle, or that the sound of the vibration might be noisy and annoying. Once I turned it on for the first time though, all of my worries went away and I fell in love. It isn’t noisy, it doesn’t tickle, but what it DOES to is gently shake your hair so that you aren’t flat ironing over kinks and creases.

Here’s a little more about the Protégé Vibrating 1.5 Flat Iron:

Vibrate your hair to perfection! While combing heat and vibration technology this phenomenal flat iron glides over your hair leaving it silky smooth for days. With the oscillating movement kinks and creases are removed while the tourmaline ceramic plates seal in moisture.

Decrease heat damage and add style with:

Innovative vibrating technology
Extra wide 1.5″ plates
Real-time oscillation
Ideal for all hair types

After trying this flat iron, I threw away my trusty college flat iron and now exclusively use my Protégé Vibrating 1.5 Flat Iron. It is amazing, and even though it is smaller than my previous one (I was using a 2″ before), I’m able to straighten my hair in a fraction of the time! Order one for yourself by clicking here!

Novica: Artisan Holiday Gifts + Reader Giveaway

65 Replies

With the holidays approaching I have been scouring the Internet for gift ideas. As my girls get older and approaching the teenage years, it means I have to get more creative with my gift giving. One daughter in particular, wants everything to be recycled or handmade. The other daughter just prefers unique things, and not to be seen wearing the same earrings or clothes as her friends. It’s quite the list I need to come up with and how do I find a place where I can shop for both of them? Thankfully I found Novica, an online resource that focuses not only on fair trade, but on handcrafted, unique items from all over the world. Best of all it has things that both of my daughters would love!

The first pair of earrings that caught my eye on the Novica site were these amazing hand crafted green beaded earrings. Not only are the “Dzidzo” earrings handcrafted, and fair trade, they are GREEN, my daughter’s favorite color.

From the Novica website I was able to find gifts not only for both of my daughters, but for some hard to buy for friends as well. We all know that as we age, our urge to simplify becomes stronger. I try to respect that, and make careful, selective decisions when I buy gifts. I try to find things my friends will use often, and not just set on a shelf to collect dust. That means I focus a bit more on Jewelry and clothing.

Although my intent was to holiday shop, I saw this amazing scarf and decided it would be great for a friend’s birthday. She needs something to brighten her day, plus the colors will go great with her dark hair.

Whoever you need to buy for on your holiday list, you’ll be sure to find something they’ll love at Novica!

Reader Giveaway: One lucky Jinxy Beauty reader will win a $35 Novica gift code. To enter, just complete the entry form below by 11:59pm ET on 12/12/16. Good luck!

It’s NOT too early to start thinking about holiday gifts for the man on your list. My husband has long been a Kenneth Cole fan, whether it’s for shoes, belts, bags or fragrance. The very latest addition to the Kenneth Cole fragrance collection is Black Bold.

Black Bold is the next evolution of the brand’s iconic, signature fragrance, Kenneth Cole Black. It draws its inspiration from the fearless spirit of New York. Black Bold is the perfect scent for the man who will take on any challenge, regardless of the odds and who is brave enough to believe that they can make an impact.

Black Bold features top notes of citrus and herbal tones, rounded out with a blend of ground nutmeg and a touch of lotus flower. Finished with elements of wood and leathery musks, the fragrance contrasts between dark and light and allows the boldness within to come to life. From the sleek, leather-like wrapped bottle design to the fragrance notes, Black Bold adds a dynamic new dimension to the Kenneth Cole fragrance collection.

DIY Carmen Sandiego Costume

Leave a reply

Make your own DIY Carmen Sandiego Costume using this short list of items you can find online. Your costume will fit perfectly and be SO unique!

It’s that time of year for us to share more of our DIY Halloween costume ideas that are always such a big hit! This time we’re sharing one of our childhood favorites with this DIY Carmen Sandiego costume!! Everyone will be asking Where In the World You Are and will want to track you down in your amazing looking costume!

It’s easy to go to the local costume store or party store and buy a “pre-packaged” costume, but it’s definitely not the best option. If you’re going to a big party you’re likely to see someone else with the exact same costume and it just won’t be very original!

The other problem with a party store costume is that they are usually limited in sizes and you have to buy everything in one package – which doesn’t end up good if your top is bigger than your bottom or vice versa. The other awesome part of this costume is that you’ll want to wear every piece of it (with the possible exception of the hat!) long after Halloween is over.

Putting together your own costume pretty much ensures that your costume will be unique AND it will fit you well. You can also easily tweak parts of the costume to be exactly what you want!
