Beauty Is Within Header

Twice a year there is a shopping event here in San Diego that I always look forward to, and if you've never attended it, now is the time! Haute Life PR is bringing back the Sassy City Chicks Fashion Bash on August 9, 2012 where fashionistas can score deals on summer styles.

Not only is this a event where you can shop established designer brands and up-and-coming local labels, including BB Dakota, m2f, and LNA, but you can enjoy the Spa Lounge with complimentary spa treatments and relax with a cocktail (or two!) Event sponsor Qream Liqueur will host a cocktail bar for guests to sample mouthwatering flavors like Strawberry and Peach Creme.

The cost to attend this fun-filled shopping night is $10 (General Admission) or $20 (Admission, gift bag, complimentary spa services & complimentary cocktails), but 25 readers of this blog can score a FREE Sassy Tote Ticket by entering code BEAUTYSD at checkout: http://www.sassycitychicks.com/events/san-diego/2012-08-09

If you're in San Diego and have plans to attend, let's meetup! Read more about my shopping adventure from last year's Sassy City Chicks event...

What I'm Loving Right Now: Classic Golf Fashion

One thing you may not know about me is that I am a tomboy at heart. I've always been involved in sports, especially basketball, and I've tried just about every sport out there except for golf. Well, I have played mini-golf before, but that doesn't really count. For awhile now I've been wanting to get on the golf course, even if it's just to the driving range. By summer's end, I vow to do it.

But first, I have to look the part, right? I figured if I get out there and realize that I don't have the God-given talent to play golf, at least I'll look stylish doing it. Besides, my style is very classic, so I could always wear these pieces as everyday outfits (see above). Polo shirts, v-neck sweaters, and basic trousers or skirts appeal to my conservative, preppy side. It's been awhile since I've owned a pair of white pants or a white skirt, but given that golf doesn't require me to move around too much, I think I might give them a try. I recommend checking out the spring golf clothing for the new season from Direct Golf.

I watched Tiger Woods this past week, so of course I have to throw in a maroon-colored polo for good luck...

What I love about polo shirts is that you could wear them with just about anything. You could throw a blazer over a polo shirt with a pair of wide-leg jeans, platforms, and a stylish hat. You could also wear a polo shirt with a long A-line skirt and sandals - or boots during the fall season.

Do you play golf? Have any golf fashion tips to share?

Always an Arm Party

The accessory I can't do without this summer is a bracelet. I've been spending time on Instagram and have been inspired by all the pics posted by Leandra of Man Repeller Jenni of ISpyDIY.

My jewelry wardrobe has grown tremendously with bracelets of all types and styles. As a jewelry designer, of course I have to make a few one-of-a-kind pieces for myself!

My collection of bangles...

The bracelet drawer

I was going to share some jewelry trends for fall, but I believe that with bracelets, anything goes. Create your own arm party with chains and baubles or go simple with a single thick bangle. Gold seems to still be popular, but you can spice things up with metallics too.

What types of bracelets do you like to wear?
