Free People Patched Bodycon Tube Dress

Free People Patched Bodycon Tube Dress

Whenever I’m going out but fear being stuck in a style rut, I reach for a sexy tube dress to reinvent with shoes and accessories. I absolutely love this ruched blush toned tube dress by Free People and I think it’ll work great with just about anything. Leather clutch? Yes. Studded heels? Yep. Statement bejeweled necklace? Absolutely. I love reaching for any edgy or loud accessory item that works as a great contrast against such a feminine frock.

Blush Strapless Sequin Peplum Dress

Blush Strapless Sequin Peplum Dress

New Years Eve is a fine time to pay homage to one of the biggest fashion trends of 2012 – the peplum! You can find this cheery frock in the Macy’s juniors department and it’s a sparkly party dress not for the faint of heart. If you’ve got plans for a club event, cocktail party, or some other sophisticated soirée, you can’t go wrong with sequins, and lots of them. And hello, it’s in rose gold!

Grey Ceramic Pink Rhodium Bracelet + Invite to Join Embly + $25 Gift Card at Ice

Grey Ceramic Pink Rhodium Bracelet

When it comes to statement jewelry, chunky chain link pieces are my fave. Ice’s Davos Collection is with me on this. The bracelet above is no chain you lock your bicycle up with, however. This lovely piece features grey ceramic and rosy pink rhodium-plated links that gleam and twinkle in the light in just the right way. At only $45, this is the bold accessory your collection lacks that you can actually afford.

What’s even more exciting is that you can buy this bracelet with even less of an impact on your wallet. I’m giving my readers a $25 gift card at Ice with a little help from a new social gifting service called Embly!

Embly - free $25 gift card at Ice

How does it work? Quite simply, retailers would rather spend their marketing budgets on you as opposed to traditional marketing methods. Embly turns those marketing dollars into free gifts that you can give to friends. Your friend gets a little spending money, the retailer gets a visit from a valued or new customer, and you get the thanks. Everyone wins.

Why use it? Embly gives you a fast and easy way to celebrate your friends, beyond just the Facebook timeline post that gets lost in the noise. Sending gifts on Embly is the smart way to let your friends know you’re thinking about them, whether it be as special as a “happy birthday”, frequent as a “TGIF”, or unique as a “thanks for picking up my dry cleaning, honey!” Use Embly’s website or iPhone app to easily and seamlessly send gifts to your friends, whenever and wherever. Once you’re in, you’re free to gift away!

What are all you shopaholics waiting for? Grab your gift quick because there’s a limited supply available. While this Ice gift card is something you can spend on yourself (duh), you can share it with your friends too! The free gifts don’t just stop there, so browse around the wide selection of free gifts to retailers like Beauty.com, ShoeDazzle, Rent the Runway, FragranceNet, Warby Parker, and many others.

Share what you gift and get! Be sure to share your purchases and gift stories with Embly on Facebook and @EmblyInc on Twitter. Embly’s Pinterest page even has tons of gift guides and shopping ideas if you’re stumped on what to get (a problem I would never have).

Now go, get gifting!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

It’s summer, you’re busy, and you simply don’t have time to reapply your makeup. I know the feeling, girl! That’s why I’m totally obsessed with this new drugstore lip stain product that actually works! Part balm and part stain, Revlon’s Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain is a chubby pencil that applies with ease over your lips and leaves a moisturizing and minty sensation behind. The color is long-wearing and lightweight, never leaving your lips dry or cracked as many long-wearing lip products formulas may cause. What’s also convenient is the pencil is a simple twist up tube, so no sharpening is necessary. Cherish, the bubblegum pink shade, is already a permanent makeup bag fixture even though I’ve only owned this item a few days. Why? Because I have plenty of other things to worry about than reapplying my lip color. Unless I’m applying it while running out the door to catch my bus into the city at 7am.

Curvy Kate Black Princess Bra

Curvy Kate Black Princess Bra

It’s been a while since we’ve featured a great bra on OMG, and I’d like to share this fabulous one from Curvy Kate, a fabulous range specializing in D-K cup lingerie that I’ve just discovered.  Their Princess Bra is both sexy and supportive, featuring underwire cups and semi-sheer mesh. It’s topped off with embroidered detail, scalloped edges, and an adorable pink ribbon, all of which are a far departure from the frumpy granny bras that dominate this end of the cup size spectrum. I’m really quite impressed by the level of detail put into this bra, all while staying super affordable.

Rhiannon Mariani for Curvy Kate USA Star in a Bra 2012

Curvy Kate USA is currently running the Star in a Bra USA competition, where one lucky gal will become the first American spokesmodel for the brand. One my dearest girlfriends, Rhiannon Mariani, pictured above in the Curvy Kate Angel Bra, has made it into the top 10 finalists! I’d really appreciate it if you could check out her entry and vote for her on the Curvy Kate USA Facebook page. I can’t think of anyone else who could deserve this opportunity more, and your vote would mean a lot. In the words of Rhiannon, “Women of America: I have big boobs and I deserve cute bras! And so do you!” Amen, sister, and thank you Curvy Kate!
