Some all time favorites deserve my respect.

As I read about Beauty Awards and Submissions and Editor's Favorite Picks, it makes me realize just how opinionated I am about my favorite goodies and how Lucky I feel to be in a place where I can even have favorites when other people do not get much at all. So in a thrust of immense gratitude here are my personal favorite picks!

BEST Trusty Basics Designer: I understand that he may be considered overpriced, or even dare I admit, extremely overpriced...but James Perse makes the most lovely basics a girl could ask for! The ONLY reason that I am willing to pay such an exorbitant amount for a t-shirt is this: I used to be the girl who collected black, white, and grey t-shirts from Forever 21, Target, JCPenny (yes times were hard and I got out of my comfort zone), and Shade. But with a stack of neatly folded basics there was one that was too short, one that was too long, on that was too faded... and then me and my incessant love of a good t-shirt found James and it was a match made in retail heaven. (Side note: There is NOTHING wrong with Target's Mossim Solid Colored T-shirts in fact I have black, grey, and purple because they are really quite fabulous on a more limited budget, currently $8 a piece!)

BEST Tinted Moisturizer: Never in my life did I think I would use more then blush and mascara, the htought of coating my skin with something unnatural made me is a silly way clausterphobic and hit on my fear that I would look plastic. But then Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20 and I have a run-in (in Porcelain to be exact) and my life was never the same. Now I can hear half my freinds scoffing that I allowed a cream to change my life. But really, it makes my gross days brighter. It lends consistancy while avoiding grease and that thick masking effect that you may not have felt, but I am sure we have all seen it on someone... Anyway, as you increase in age and maybe wrinkles and maybe a need to cover-up give lovely Laura a try.
BEST Blending Option: Along the same lines, there is a new and amazing product out there that will help blend and mix hard to reach areas...not to mention the shape and color adds spice to your makeup routine. It is produced by Target's new makeup line by Sonia Kashuk. Go ahead and love it!

BEST Jeans In The Entire World: I remember seeing a size 00 girl with the most gorgeous jeans on a few years ago and I noticed the label had a British flag on it, and I thought, WHAT ARE THOSE?! They were perfect to me and I wanted them. Well, they maybe be a tad bigger then a 00, ha, but my Hudson jeans have become my quick favorites. They stay true to their color and don't wash away the denim's intensity, not to mention their thick waist band that keeps them from falling too low, always a plus. If you are used to paying for designer jeans or not you will really get your wear out of these babies! (Note to you: be aware that like most well-fit jeans they do stretch out after a few unwashed wears...)
