As a busy mother, I often find it difficult to look as sexy as I feel. Veronica M. brings a whole new meaning to sexy with their fashion forward modest apparel. Veronica M. clothing will transform your look from tired and worn down to chic and trendy.

I recently had the opportunity to review one of Veronica M’s fabulous maxi dresses from their new Summer 2010 collection.

Beige V-Neck Maxi Dress

 

Simply chic, simply irresistible!  This stylish maxi dress features a v-neck with cinched detailing at the waist. With the illusion of a empire waist, you will feel an immediate confidence boost as this dress is both slimming and absolutely stunning. Matching ties with brushed gold toggles at front create texture and a sense of playfulness.

Like most of the apparel found at Veronica M, this fashionable dress adds style and functionality. Pair it with a bolero shrug and classic heels for appropriate work attire, or wear it alone with a cute pair of gladiator sandals, sexy heels or even flats-perfect for any occasion!

The poly/spandex blend make this flowing dress comfortable and cool, even in the 104°  weather we’re so “lucky” to have right now. I adore the lightweight material and feminine cut. Liquid seems to bead up and roll right off, which is ideal for most busy moms. This popular dress is currently unavailable, but here are a few similar dresses which I’ve added to my wish list:

 

In addition to their amazing maxi dresses, VeronicaM also has a generous selection of short dresses, mid-length dresses, skirts, pants, rompers and stylish tops. Don’t compromise comfort for style, enjoy them both with Veronica M Clothing!

Smitten NYC Clothing Review

Inspired by 1940’s romantic comic books, Smitten NYC Clothing combines retro details with modern cuts to create a feminine, chic, trendy clothing line for today’s stylish woman. Smitten Clothing is driven by the idea to help everywoman feel “Smitten” which is why they offer fabulous clothing pieces such as cardigan sweaters, flattering dresses, casual trendy shirts, cute dressy tops, and sleeveless tank tops.

Smitten has a generous selection of classic tank tops with a high-end designer feel to them. Summer is the idea season to wear tank tops, but here in Texas, they are worn all year round. Keeping this in mind, I wanted something that I would enjoy wearing throughout the year. After several fun hours of shopping and contemplating, I decided on the Tank with Cartoon Detail.

 

The Cartoon Detail Tank features a deep scoopneck in front, and mid scoop in back. It is made with beautiful stitching detail along the arm line as well as double stitching at the hemline. The hemline includes a wide band with a small slit on each side. The bust area features a pocket on the left side with the whimsical detail of two comic characters sharing a passionate kiss.

From first glance, you will only see the top of the (comic) man’s head. Once you pull the pocket outwards, the romantic kiss is revealed. The photo shown above resembles the pocket’s comic book detail, only without the “Smitten” thought bubble.

This white tank top is made from 100% cotton and is undeniably the softest tank top I have ever worn. The material is much more lightweight compared to a traditional cotton t-shirt. If I hadn’t read the label, I would not believe this tank was made from cotton. It feels more like a delicate silk or rayon/wool blend. The care instructions are easy to follow: hand wash, lay flat to dry. This tank top is very well made and looks brand new after several washes.

Subtle, clever stitching gives this shirt the appearance of an expensive sweater rather than a plain tank top.The Tank with Cartoon Detail can be worn casually with shorts, jeans, or capris and flip flops throughout the warmer months. Yet,this tank proves its versatility when paired with a nice pair of denim jeans, leggings, or dress pants and  blazer for a polished, dressed up, sophisticated look through the cooler months. I could not have made a better selection! This tank provides everything I was looking for.

There is a bit of sheerness to this top, allowing the skin tones to be exposed. If you would like to appear modest, pairing a camisole is a quick and easy resolution. I actually found this to be a great feature, as it only adds to its versatility. In respect to sizing, it appears Smitten NYC clothing may run large. Normally, I require an X-Large, but their available clothing sizes are X-Small-Large. I chose large and it fits me perfectly. I was not able to locate a sizing chart, but Smitten will respond to any questions via email or telephone.

Smitten’s website is super easy to navigate and it took me no time at all to fall in love with their beautiful collection of vintage inspired clothing. Once you see their latest styles, you will understand why I had such a hard time choosing just one item. Here are a few items on my wish list:

When you shop at Smitten NYC, you can expect to find the hottest “dressed to kill” styles. I admire the fact that they are able to offer sexy, unique clothing, while remaining modest and comfortable at the same time. Smitten exceeded my every expectation. From their lightening fast shipping, to their high-quality, I feel completely confident shopping with Smitten in the future.

BUY IT: The Tank with Cartoon Detail comes in ivory (white) and is available in sizes X-small, small, medium, and large. Retail: $93.00.

WHERE TO BUY: Smitten NYC can be found in 400 specialty stores, major department stores, top line retail stores, or conveniently purchased at the Smitten NYC online website. To locate an online retailer or local retailer, you may use www.thefind.com.

WIN IT: Smitten NYC has generously offered to provide one lucky reader with the item of their choice up to $100. Enter the Smitten Giveaway here.

Angel Eyewear Sunglasses: Review

Sunglasses are a great way to accessorize any outfit but more importantly they are worn to protect our eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Many sunglasses are designed simply for their style and forget to include the much needed protection. Fortunately, Angel Eyewear designs stylish and fashionable sunglasses complete with 100% UVA and UVB protection.

Angel Sunglasses are designed with fashion first and made to compliment the lifestyle of every woman. When you shop at Angel Eyewear, you know you will be shopping the highest quality handmade Italian glasses at the most affordable prices. Their sunglasses are made with zyl (zylonite, or cellulose acetate), nylon, high-grade nickel silver, and only the best hinges available to ensure a great fit and long lasting durability. Angel Eyewear Sunglasses will keep your sensitive eyes protected with their 100% UVB and UVA, scratch resistant coated lenses that offer ultimate optical clarity.

I was sent the following sunglasses:

Angel Mod Black Frame - Smoke Polarized Lens
$55.00

Wonder Bone/Smoke Polarized Lens
$65.00

Right away, I was impressed at how quickly I received my new sunglasses. Both pairs arrived in their own individual box. Upon opening each sunglass box, I was happily surprised to find each pair safely tucked away in a nice black protective sunglass case. One sophisticated sunglass case has the “angel” logo inscribed, while the other case has the angel logo directly below the angel wings. Each pair of sunglasses also included a warranty card, special lens cleaning cloth and angel sticker.

Inside of my heavy duty, black sunglass cases were the most stylish glasses I have ever laid eyes on. The detail is exquisite and more importantly they are extremely comfortable.

Women with a round face shape look best in rectangular (geometric or angular type) sunglasses, which is why I choose the Angel Wonder glasses. Not only are these glasses chic and sophisticated, but they match everything. They complete every outfit which is one of the reasons why I have been wearing them every day since I received them. Because they make my face appear longer and thinner, these are by far the best sunglasses I have ever owned. They’ve passed the toddler strength/durability test, getting sat on and even being left on the car dashboard on a hot sunny day.

Wonder Sunglass Features

Lightweight flexible Nylon frame material
5 barrel metal stop hinge
8 base sunglasses lenses
RXable lenses
Polarized styles available
100% UV Protection

The Wonder Sunglasses are available in a variety (5) of frame colors. Once you’ve decided on a frame color, you will have the option to customize the lens color. The price begins at $65.00 and varies up to $95.00, depending on your frame and lens choices.

The Mod Sunglasses have more of a square shape to them with a slight butterfly angle. I absolutely adore the black and red geometric shapes on the bands. The shape of these glasses didn’t agree with the shape of my round face. I believe these would look best on women who do not have a round face. I gave this pair to my sister-in-law and she must love them because she is wearing them every time I see her!

Mod Sunglass Features

Lightweight flexible Nylon frame material
5 Barrel Metal Stop Hinge
6 base lenses
RXable Sunglasses
Polarized styles available
100% UV Protection

In addition to being fashionable, both pairs of sunglasses are truly incredible. Many sunglasses look pretty until you put them on and notice everything has a new yellow, gray or blue tint. I did not encounter this problem with Angel Eyewear’s sunglasses. Both pair of glasses allowed me to view everything in its true color, yet everything looked clearer. Both worked incredibly by blocking the sun-especially in morning and late afternoon when the sun’s glare is the worst. When you’re looking for the latest trends in sunglasses at a reasonable price, there is no place better than Angel Eyewear.

BUY IT: Shop Angel Sunglasses, shop online or find a local retailer.

Joey Junior Purse Hanger Review

Women rarely go anywhere without their purses, which means that if a woman enters a place full of germs, so does her bag. Once you set your purse down, it is an automatic invitation for germs to latch on. What does this mean for you? Every time you set your purse down, you are exposing it to thousands of bacteria and germs that you will be carrying around with you.

A well known Microbiologist found that there was an alarmingly high amount of fecal bacteria, typically found on the bathroom floor, on the bottom of woman's purses. He found bacteria that can cause skin infections on the bottom of purses.What is more alarming, is that most women are picking up a lot of other germs like cold viruses or viruses that cause diarrhea without ever even knowing it.

Protect your purse from dirty floors filled with germs and bacteria.

Joey Junior offers the highest quality, strongest and most beautiful Purse Hangers. Their stylish and trendy purse hangers are deigned to keep your bag clean and free of harmful germs that can cause you and your loved ones to become ill.
Why place your handbag on the floor where there are germs or on the back of your chair where it can easily be stolen? Now you can hang your handbag from a beautifully designed hanger from Joey Junior! Not only will this product allow easy access of your personal belongings, but is a great way to prevent the spread of germs.

My Purple Passion Purse Hanger arrived in a black velvety protective pouch. I had several laughs watching my husband try to figure out exactly what it was. As a woman, I found this product to be an ingenious idea. I wonder why I hadn't thought of it sooner! I found Joey Junior's Foldable Purse Hanger to be very sturdy and easy to use. The images really do it no justice. My purse hanger is a beautiful deep purple with a subtle sparkle. I especially like the fact that it is so compact, lightweight and convenient to carry. I have already received several compliments on my Foldable Purse Hanger.

In addition to purses, these hangers are also great for diaper bags, laptop bags, backpacks and more!

Foldable Purse Hanger Features:

• Holds up to 17lbs; weighs less than 2oz.
• Stores folded to only 1 3/4″ in diameter.
• Smaller and lighter than a compact.
• Non-slip pad keeps hanger in place.
• Faceted Crystal decoration in five colors.
• Includes black velvet travel pouch.
