<br />
My good friend, Emmy Award Winning AIDS activist, Rae Lewis Thornton is having her very first trunk show for her <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://rltcollection.com/">RLT Collection</a>.</span><br />
<br />
The RLT Collection is a line of fashion bracelets designed and handcrafted by Rae. After selling her collection online for three years, Rae is ready to debut her best new designs to date at her trunk show.<br /><br />
I invite everyone to come out for a night of yummy desserts, drinks, and of course selecting the perfect RLT Collection bracelet for your wrist. Rae's motto is <span style="font-size: large;"><i>"a bracelet for every woman"</i></span> and I can certainly attest to that. There are bracelets for the girl next door, the over the top glamour girl, the natural woman, and even something for the men in your life. The invite above has all the information you need. <i><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://rltcollection.eventbrite.com/">Please click here to RSVP.</a></b> </span></i><br />
<br />
Hope to see you there! <br /><br /><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was invited to the Dyson Technology Experience this weekend at the Gold Coast Art Fair in Grant Park. I was not about to miss an opportunity to check out the <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Air Multiplier™</span> fans and see if a bladeless fan could truly deliver a nice cool breeze.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look Ma, No Blades!!!</span></strong></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWwVUMt-0ugmqCwHj7eBvz2KJ_OqTe3UblQ0rM8Wollm9lm9WwOH0TFb1bm4GmVMY6i5_PT2cq90dsWQG5xy40m15-Wd1greTgo4VyV9UHtDes01ZD-UdAfEnpAGrPEBcUj6HvXz29IL7E/s1600/no+blades.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWwVUMt-0ugmqCwHj7eBvz2KJ_OqTe3UblQ0rM8Wollm9lm9WwOH0TFb1bm4GmVMY6i5_PT2cq90dsWQG5xy40m15-Wd1greTgo4VyV9UHtDes01ZD-UdAfEnpAGrPEBcUj6HvXz29IL7E/s400/no+blades.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By Saturday afternoon, the weather had already reached the upper 80s with a steadily rising heat index. The sun was scorching and don’t even get me started on the humidity! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I got to Grant Park, I could not find the Dyson demonstration quick enough. As I entered the Dyson tent, I was met by a blast of cool air from one of the pedestal fans. I walked around to see the other models and was surprised by how cool it was inside the tent. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As everyone knows, traditional fans do nothing more than blow the hot air around but this was not the case with the Air Multiplier™. It was as if there was a cooling system built within. I spoke with one of the reps who explained how the fans work. The bladeless Air Multiplier™ draws air in through a mixed flow impeller – a combination of the technologies used in turbochargers and jet engines.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUEs7bVYb2eI3Z3Xr9Z7yOl00S7HGIBSaMGX_qnKqZSzoMaAp6vnZlnat3jS8TVDVRsw_RDRxb4vZkHWfOS9qc4emtGDrrWVbihJEqo8cJPsZ_9nKKDTPaLKA5h1z5cOMwaS_Tro4Ys6A6/s1600/dyson+explanation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUEs7bVYb2eI3Z3Xr9Z7yOl00S7HGIBSaMGX_qnKqZSzoMaAp6vnZlnat3jS8TVDVRsw_RDRxb4vZkHWfOS9qc4emtGDrrWVbihJEqo8cJPsZ_9nKKDTPaLKA5h1z5cOMwaS_Tro4Ys6A6/s400/dyson+explanation.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pretty impressive! Everyone inside the tent was excited about the fans. One little girl asked her dad if the fans were magic. Don’t you just love the questions kids ask? Another small child had a curious look on her face as she slowly raised her hand to feel the air. I could tell she wanted to stick her hand in the Air Multiplier™ but was afraid to do so. One of the friendly reps assured her the fan was safe as he stuck his hand inside. She followed his lead and looked completely amazed. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have small children or pets the Air Multiplier™ would work well in your home and is so worth the investment.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the summer of 2011, Dyson is continuing to cement its place as the leading technology company in design and development. I definitely think they are an industry leader. The products are like none on the market. <a href="http://www.dyson.com/events/default.asp?nav=top"><strong>The Dyson Technology Experience</strong></a> is a great way to learn more about Dyson products. </span><br />

This week's Haute Bag is the current and so apropos for the season, canvas and leather tote. I saw a few styles on Nikia aka ChiTown Fashionista's <a href="http://www.chitownfashionista.com/"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;">blog</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: black;">. </span><br />
<br />
In the early part of spring when I began planning my summer wardrobe, I added a canvas and leather tote to my shopping list. To date I have yet to add one to my bag family. Trust me, that will change sooner rather than later.<br />
<br />
I am coveting two by Urban Outfitters (<em>the leather is faux or vegan, if you're a hipster, lol</em>!).<br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Havaianas Beach Pop-Up will be l</span><span style="font-size: small;">ocated at 1600 North Lakeshore Drive, at North Ave Beach, situated right near the North Ave Beach House. The convenient location will allow beachgoers to have access to the official footwear of the summer and indulge in their favorite prints and patterns. The beach pop-up will be modeled after a traditional Brazilian fruit stand and will exclusively feature “Make Your Own Havaianas.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once available only at VIP functions and for celebrities, the “Make Your Own Havaianas” beach pop-up will offer guests the opportunity to customize their own flip-flops just like some of their famous celebrity idols, including Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Ivanka Trump, Nicole Richie, Natalie Portman, Kourtney Kardashian, Maria Menounos, Ke$ha, and more.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">With the success of the first U.S. Havaianas boutique in Huntington Beach, CA and the highly-anticipated demise of a very drawn out winter, it was the perfect time to open a beach pop-up. Having a location in Chicago will not only cater to the warm weather shoe needs of Midwesterners, but the unique design of the beach pop-up will also provide an innovative and stimulating atmosphere for customers to express their own personality through their customizable Havaianas footwear. From the sneakers to the flip flops, shoppers will have the chance to experience the unique collections inspired by Brazil’s vibrant culture. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

The ultra-high quality of Havaianas is due to a top secret rubber recipe that makes the flip-flops as soft as marshmallows. While there are many copy-cats in the marketplace, Havaianas fans know there is no substitute for authentic comfort and style. Havaianas are continuously showcased on fashion show runways around the world and can often be spotted at some of the world’s highest caliber events. An affordable luxury since 1962, every pair is still lovingly designed and manufactured in Brazil – offering hundreds of unique colors and patterns to fit your every style and<span style="color: red;"> </span>need. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

The show was well attended by beauty industry professionals and the truly makeup obsessed. In addition to the popular brands showcasing their products, there were seminars and plenty of networking opportunities. <br />
There was so much too see between the two levels of Venue One. I wanted the chance to check out Inglot Cosmetics but the beauty lovers were completely surrounding the booth the entire time I was there. I couldn't even get close enough to see anything! Inglot was clearly a show highlight for many attendees.<br />
<br />
I was able to chat with David Klasfeld, founder of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) and I am now in love with Lip Tar and OCC Tint (reviews coming soon). <br />
<br />
This was the first Makeup Show for Chicago and I'm guessing from the eager attendees and overall positive reception of the two day event, they will be back next year. <br />

Rarely do I like her hit singles which are typically the songs written solely by her. <em>Single Ladies</em> grated on my last nerve but I really liked <em>If I Were A Boy</em> and a few of the unreleased songs from her last CD. <br />
<br />
Her latest offering <em>Run The World (Girls)</em>, is another one that caused me to scratch my head when it debuted. I have only heard the song once and that was one time too many. The epic (according to the masses) video will remain a mystery because I cannot bear to hear the song ever again. The lyrics are just awful. Banal and nonsensical rush to my mind as perfect adjectives for the lyrics of Run The World.<br />
<br />
Mrs. Carter's self appointed patron saint of female empowerment schtick is getting old and repetitive. Take a gander at the stellar lyrics below and if you will excuse me, I'm going to go read a really thick book or maybe I'll get all up in some dude's grill and tell him he might think he freak this like I do...but he don't. Yeah. That does seem like the thing to do. And for the bitches who can't fade her, do they<b> not </b>run the world??? How can we girls determine if we are in fact a girl who runs the world or not??? Exactly who is included in this world of girl domination??? So many questions... <span style="font-size: large;"><b>:/</b></span><br />
<br />
Girls, we run this mutha (yeah) - repeat 3 times<br />
Girls, we run this mutha<br />
Girls<br />
<br />
Who run the world? Girls<br />
<br />
Some of them men think they freak this like we do<br />
But no they don’t<br />
Make your check come at they neck<br />
Disrespect us no they won’t<br />
This goes out to all my girls that’s in the club rocking the latest<br />
Who could buy it for themselves and get more money later<br />
I think I need a barber<br />
None of these bitches can fade me<br />
I’m so good with this<br />
I remind you I’m so hood with this<br />
Boy I’m just playing<br />
Come here baby<br />
Hope you still like me<br />
If you hate me<br />
My persuasion can build a nation<br />
Endless power our love we can devour<br />
You’ll do anything for me<br />
<br />
Who run the world? Girls<br />
<br />
It’s hot up in here DJ don’t be scared to run this run this back<br />
I’m repping for the girls who’re taking over the world have me raise a glass for the college grads<br />
This goes out to all the women getting it in get on your grind<br />
To other men that respect what I do please accept my shine<br />
Boy you know you love it how we’re smart enough to make these millions<br />
Strong enough to bear the children then get back to bidness<br />
You better not play me oh come here baby<br />
Hope you still like me if you hate me<br />
My persuasion can build a nation<br />
Endless power our love we can devour<br />
You’ll do anything for me<br />
<br />
Who run the world? Girls<br />
Who are we<br />
What we brought<br />
The world<br />
Who are we<br />
What we brought<br />
The world<br />
Who are we<br />
What do we brought<br />
We brung the world<br />
Who are we<br />
What we brought<br />
We brought the world<br />
Who run the world? Girls<br />
<br />
Yay. Girl Power. <br />

<br />
The outfit is actually cute but Khloe did not use her garments in the best way to flatter her shape. For starters the pants are entirely too tight. Camel toe is never the goal... <br />
<br />
Khloe is a tall, very curvy girl with a short torso. The tucked in denim shirt just over emphasizes her short waist, wide hips, and large bum. When you have a short torso, wear longer tops to give the illusion of a slightly lower waist line. <b>Sidebar: why is her bra showing?</b><br />
<br />
If only she had worn the denim shirt untucked and found some red skinny jeans a size and a half larger... Her outfit would look great. The shoes and the belt are the only things she got right. Paparazzi was on hand to catch Khloe's fashion crime and the gossip blogs ripped her to shreds. Let this be a lesson kids, always do a full length mirror check before you leave home and buy clothes to fit the body you have not the one you think you have. <br />

This work week has depleted <strong>ALL</strong> my energy and tested my already short patience. Each day I leave work feeling as if I have been in a street fight and lost. My job is not physical at all but the mental stress is just that bad. I can say without any hesitation that I have never worked in such a weird environment. The office is devoid of energy and personality, add to that the unneccessary foolishness that takes place and you have five days of complete madness that take quite a toll on yours truly. <br />

I need a new job but that goes without saying... Today after work, I cannot get home quick enough. I'm turning my cell phone <strong>OFF.</strong> The home phone ringer will be turned<strong> OFF</strong>. I'm not going anywhere. I don't want to see or talk to anyone. My weekend is all about de-stressing and getting some much needed rest. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Sex and the City is my absolute favorite series. I have seen every episode and I watch the reruns. If I'm channel surfing and find a marathon, all is right in my world. <br />
<br />
When I got the DVD of the first movie, I watched it the entire weekend and I am not ashamed to admit that I watch the movie at last twice a month. <br />
<br />
I am still completely obsessed with Sex and the City series, movies, and books. This collection is at the top of my Christmas 2011 list. Family and friends that may read this, you <strong><span style="font-size: large;"><u>do not</u></span></strong> have to wait until Christmas to get this for me ;-)<br />

I believe in fighting the signs of aging. My current under eye puffiness will be a <em>temporary</em> problem. I'm okay with getting older but I'll be darned if I start to <i>look</i> older.<br />
<br />
Enter <a href="http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/catalog/shop_product_detail.jsp?filterBy=&skuId=835399&productId=835399&navAction=jump&navCount=3">Lumene Time Freeze Eye Perfecting Treatment</a>. I picked this up last week during one of my CVS trips. Lumene products are affordable, gentle and effective. I am very impressed with this eye treatment. <br />

The treatment promises to diminish puffiness and firm the skin all around the eyes. You apply it beneath your eyes and to the lids. The ingredients include Lumene's ever present Arctic Heather, plant proteins, and Metabiotics Resveratrol. Like all Lumene products this product contains over 95% natural ingredients.<br />

</tbody></table>After my first use, I noticed immediately how the skin beneath my eyes became firmer and the normal puffiness disappeared. I use it twice a day and I have seen a real difference around my eyes. The treatment costs $19.99 and I had a $6 in Extra Care bucks that I used towards my purchase. Gotta love CVS Extra Care Card and their Beauty Club. Time Freeze Eye Perfecting Treatment is definitely one to add to your product arsenal!<br />

Hope your Monday got off to the right start and if for any reason it did not, well there's always Tuesday.<br />
<br />
This week's haute bag of the week is from Aldo. The LeJenne is on trend for this season with the contrasting neutral straw and white faux leather trim. I can see toting this cute little number to an Al fresco lunch date wearing a maxi dress and flat sandals or with a chambray romper. <br />

</tbody></table><br />
The latest addition to Halle Berry's fragrance collection is Reveal. From the name and the ad, I knew this would be a very different scent than Halle and Pure Orchid. Reveal is a glamourous, sexy fragrance that evokes mystery and definitely makes a statement. It starts off light but as it dries it becomes a richer scent.<br />
<br />
Reveal is unlike any fragrance I have ever worn. The scent is very unique and I received so many compliments from people wanting to know what I was wearing.<br />
<br />
The top notes are red berries, juicy peach, mimosa flowers, and honeydew melon.<br />
<br />
The heart notes are plumeria flowers, iris blossoms, neroli petals. The fragrance base notes are vetiver, musk, and cashmere woods. <br />
<br />
Reveal is the perfect fragrance for a night out or a night <em>in </em>*wink*<br />

The vachetta leather and rich natural color look amazing in the pictures. I love that the bag has very few details. There is no logo plastered all over the bag, nothing dangling, no excessive buckles, zippers, and other useless elements that I have seen in bags recently. This is just a fabulous leather bag in a great neutral color that can work with a variety of looks. <br />
<br />
The Florentine costs $358 which is a great investment because Dooney & Bourke bags last for many years.<br />
<br />
I just may break down and make this my spring/summer bag. What do my bag ladies think of this week's Haute Bag? <br />
