Brands: TOMS Shoes

I love when I feel good about making a purchase. It could something I need, or something that I know someone is going to love. TOMS Shoes are one of those purchases. With the money from the purchase of the shoes, TOMS buys a pair of shoes for a child in need. And besides being extremely cool and helpful, they're cute! There is a color for everyone.

Top 3 TOMS

TOMS 'Classic' Canvas Slip-On

(I have a pair and they are tooo comfy! Like slippers, but better!)

TOMS 'Classic' Glitter Slip-On

These add a cute sparkle to the most simple outfits.

TOMS 'Madrina' Slip-On

I like these because they are a step away from the traditional TOMS but are still adorable.

The Sweetest Scents

I love perfume...and lotion...and bodyspray.. I can't help myself when something smells good, I HAVE to buy it. Here's my Scent It List! :)

Perfume

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy 

This is my current scent. I've been wearing it for about a year now. I love it. When I put it on in the morning it instantly wakes me up. It's the right balance of fruity and warm. Buy it here.

Dior Miss Dior Cherie 

I fell in love with this scent while reading a magazine. I thought the ad was brilliant (a beautiful model looking windswept holding a hundred balloons in bright colors) and the scent was even better. It's the perfect scent for during the day. Buy it here.

Benefit My Place or Yours Gina 

This reminds me a little bit of Viva La Juicy, but this Benefit scent inspired by four imaginary beauty girls truly stands on its own. I love the scent, the vanilla, patchouli and fruits mix well together and make you feel sexy. That's important, isn't it? Buy it here.

Benefit Something About Sofia

This is one of Gina's gal pals, Sofia. Sofia is for you true individuals who like going out on limb with their fashion choices and setting the trends and not following them. This smells like a tropical fruit bowl mixed with oriental flowers. Buy it here.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue

This scent is lighter than most, but it's powerful. If you've never seen the ads, go look because that's how I would describe this perfume. It's light and airy and reminds me of being tan, on a boat, somewhere in the ocean.

Lotions

Philosophy Hope in a Jar SPF 20 Moisturizer

I got this as a sample from Sephora. I use it everyday now. It helps my skin stay protected and gives it just the right amount of moisture that my face wash takes away. It won't make you look oily and will help your skin survive the winter months! Buy it here.

Victoria's Secret Ultra-Moisturizing Hand and Body Cream

If it's one thing I know about Victoria's Secret, they do beauty products well. This body cream will show a change in your skin within a week, I know first hand because I have the most dry skin in the world. I use this everyday in Strawberries and Champagne. Buy it here.

The Body Shop Peach Body Butter 

The Body Shop's Body Butter is so soft, even going onto your skin and the smell is amazing. It smells like the actually thing, not chemicals. Your skin will love you.

Body Spray

Bath and Body Works Exotic Coconut Body Splash

This reminds me of laying out in the sun. I love this scent and it's truly universal.

Carol's Daughter Mango Melange 

This for those of you who are vegans or just like natural smelling body products. This stays on long and isn't too strong.

How To Wear This Season's Cargo Pants

I know, I feared the cargos too. But I actually like them. If you go back to my Spring Fashion Review, Ralph Lauren executed them perfectly. Here's a few cargos and what to wear them with. P.S....Happy New Year!!

New York & Company City Style Zip Cargo Pants 

Price: On Sale for $7.99 DEAL!!!

I can't say I don't like these. They are tailored and perfect for this season. Get them while you can!

What to Wear These With:

Ralph Lauren Blue Label Slim-Fit Stretch Poplin Shirt

Price: $145

I didn't pick this shirt because her pants are khaki, I picked this shirt because it resembles something most of us have in our closets. I would tuck this shirt in (once again, not inspired by the picture).

Jessica Simpson Staria Pumps

Price: $92.00

You don't want to be matchy-matchy with accesories. Brown always compliments khaki, darker browns. I like these shoes in Cognac. They'll also add definition and length to your legs so the cargos don't cut you off.

Diane von Furstenberg Lady Leather Gladiator Sandals

Price: $295

I love gladiators and heels, so if you like both, you'll also love these. They are around the same color as the JS one, but more chic and not so classic.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

J.Crew Ripstop Cargo Pants 

Price: $79.50

These pants come in three colors, I like the faded black for our next look. These pants are soft and comfortable and less formal.

What to Wear Them With:

Gap Double Knit Blazer

Price: $59.50

I like this blazer. It's not too fitted and not too loose. It's shrunken and looks super comfy...that's always what pulls me in.

Gap The Pocket Boyfriend T

Price: $19.50

This should be in your closet already. It comes in a bunch of colors, feel free to experiment!

Boutique 9 Glory Sandals

Price: $130.00

I love these sandals, I have a pair just like them. They will add a little extra to this otherwise plain outfit but won't be overwhelming with the cargos and blazer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What to Wear With Both:

Forever 21 Brava Bracelet Set

Price: $7.80

Any simple gold bracelets would look good with either of these outfits.
