It’s no secret here that we love Mackage coats, trenches, jackets, you name it. We absolutely love this look–yes, it’s almost summer but there are always chilly nights when a bomber jacket could be rocked (cue Audrina). Mackage isn’t one of our cheaper vices, but they’re so well made it’s ridiculous. These are investment pieces. I have a black, wool peacoat. I wore it all winter long. It’s the heaviest, most well made bad-boy in my closet. And not a week went by that I didn’t get a compliment. Plus it never pilled, not one little pill! Take that Laundry pea coat that pilled up the wazoo!!

I’m not sure if I should feel old that Hermione of the Harry Potter films has been crowned as Burberry’s plaid princess or if I should be disgusted that they’re picking someone so young to appeal to her fellow mates who are in their teens. Should 15 year olds be lusting after $300 scarves? I mean more than they already do. If they have Burberry product placement in Harry Potter, I will literally vom. She looks gorgeous in the photo but way too old for her age. I mean I had to take a second glance to believe it was her. Emma, you will no doubt blossom into a beautiful woman I just hope they’re not going to turn you into their label whore.We heard she’s been acting like quite the diva on set but we’re pretending we didn’t hear that because we love her.

On another note, can’t wait to see it! Harry Potter will be the high point of my summer!

Nothing anyone says or any amount of celeb endorsement could get us to pop one of these babies on.

So when I attended a SPANX party a couple months ago and was asked to review the BRA-LLELUJAH I was skeptical. For $62, I thought there is no difference between this and any bra I could pick up at Nordstrom’s or even Loehmann’s for that matter, for far less. But hey, I figured let me try it out and see what happens. I got the sample in the mail (yes, one of the perks of blogging! you know, other than talking to myself hoping someone cares what I have to say…) and put it on immediately before I left to go out. Holy, patent-pending genius, Batman! At first I couldn’t really tell how amazing it was, in fact I didn’t feel a thing. I was doing my makeup and getting ready to go out and it hit me, I can’t feel my braaaaaaa! Now maybe I just wear really uncomfortable bras but when I get home and put on comfy clothes, the bra goes!  But with Brallelujah it doesn’t have to! The material is so soft. The straps aren’t adjustable, they adjust themselves. The entire piece is made from a patent-pending material that feels glorious on  your skin and is barely seen through your clothes (even white t-shirts)! Even better? It’s racer-back for all my summer tanks! Better than that? It doesn’t squeeze your back at all, which means NO hideous back-fat bulge or bra straps showing through! The cups provide enough support and lift too! The back also has no metal hooks or tag so it won’t poke through your shirt! My only advice is that you must try this on before you purchase. I wear a B-cup in this and usually wear a C-cup.

I know it’s a little early but I’ve been digging this look since this past winter. Love, Love, Love!

Thanks, Fashionising for the pic!

I can hardly believe I’m going to say this, but, gasp, these are kind of adorable! And what else? They’re only $38. I might have to pick up a pair to check out their quality, which we’re guessing is lacking. But honestly, for $38 you could wear them this season 5 times and call it a deal.

I’m loving the detail–i mean, tell me you don’t want them more because of the pink bottom! Yum!
