Even at the $90ish dollars I paid these sandals were a bit spendy. But they are also work horses. I wore them most of last summer and since I put them away every night in a box they still look brand new. The quality on them is tops. These are something I feel will work in wardrobe for years. They aren't a trend and they are things I have consistently loved for years. Patent, hardware, wedge. I have only paid full price for one Marc Jacobs clothing item. It was a purse. Everything else has been minimum of 70% off. Hit up Gilt, Saks (they are a gold mine) DSW, RueLaLa all places to score designer on the cheap. For example these are VERY similar to mine at Yoox. (my heel is taller) OR you can set up a sale alert for a particular item you are waiting to go on sale here at Shop it to me.
I stamped the Gold polish by Milani, I wore and reviewed here over a blue and I love how it came out.
After WEEKS of my mom telling me about them I finally got the goody spin pins. She would IM me the link to the video every few days. My thoughts? eh. I have done it 4 separate times and every time they fell apart. I think my hair might just be too heavy for them. Today it is soaking wet so I know it is hella heavy. I dunno I will keep using them but I don't feel comfortable telling you to go get some.
How is your week shaping up? It was nice to hear what other people do for skin problem. More people suffered from it than I thought. I guess they were like me and silently suffered. Here is another one for you. What do you do for your legs when you shave? I have tried literally everything on the market and every razor it always burns and leaves me with rashes. I have talked to aesthetician (sp) asking for suggestions and I just can't find the magic product. My legs are INSANELY sensitive. I can't even put anything on them the day I shave or it is like hot raging fire. Organic, commercial, conditioner, olive oil you name it I probably tried it. After 21 years of shaving my legs you think I'd know what the hell to do. I also cut my knee EVERY SINGLE TIME

I too use men's razors - I like the Gillette Fusion 5 blade b/c I get really, really bad ingrowns & shaving bumbs ***so embarrassing*** and it produces such a smooth, ingrown free shave. Have you tried men's razors for sensitive skin? I can understand the burning w/ the shave cream and moisture strip - but maybe the aloe strip on the sensitive skin kind would not burn???
I also use conditioner or body wash to shave with - try Dove conditioner or body wash since it is so soothing. I use Dial b/c of the antibacterial properties (again, ingrown hairs UGH) but I really think that would irritate you.
Or maybe Aveeno? Have you tried them? I use their oatmeal soaks during allergy season to help sooth awful skin allergies and their stuff is really good.
Lotion afterwards! Cerave is really good for sensitive skin issues. I'm using that new Vaseline Sheer Infusion Lotion and it's done wonders for irritation.
I also agree that exfoliating b/f shaving can help. I use an exfoliating scrubby since sugar scrubs are too rough on my skin.
Hope one of us helps you!
Aveeno has gluten in it. I have to be careful about lotions and lipstuff. I can get away with me using wheat in my hair and not bothering him but that is about it.
I discovered this on vacation and can't do it w/any other brand.
Also, look for shave gel for bikini line/underarm areas. Skintimate used to make one - it came in a yellow can. It worked really well for me.
I like the Schick Intuition when I can catch it on sale and w/a coupon.
:P

What did I do in college in highschool I can't remember if this was an issue then....
Ally I um go to have that taken care of.
Seems like leg hair grows more than any other hair around !
I usually put on lotion the night before (Palmers Cocoa Butter) and I shave them while I shower.
Then you can apply aloe. Real aloe. Get a plant.
It also helps for burns and rashes.
I wish I had some shaving suggestions for you, but I usually just shave with water and moisturize afterward. My skin has the raised red bumps but doesn't get any more irritated than that and I'm too busy (read: lazy) to do much else.
I highly recommend it, but as always test a little spot first because what works for some people doesn't work for others (and the shower formula itches like crazy on me, I can only use the regular formula).
Also, you are super cute, love the red hair, and are a nail polish addict like me! I am so adding your blog to my rss reader.
