LOVING Obvious by Lolly, a super cool clothing line

If you haven't heard of or seen Obvious by Lolly you're missing out. I can't believe this line has slipped by me. Obvious by Lolly houses a beautiful array of soft, flowing fabrics, lots of neutral tones; from tanks, T's, knit jackets, dresses and more. One would easily describe it as hippie chic, yet fun and glamorous, with a splash of vintage. You can dress up anything with one simple accessory or go from day to night with flats to heels. I love that the majority of the clothes are staple pieces that you can wear forever.

I recently met the team behind Lolly and got to visit the showroom. I fell in love with everything for fall. My eye caught one dress in particular, I wanted to take it home immediately. Turns out it wasn't even finished, oops.

The final reason you'll love this line, most pieces retail for about $200 and under. I love affordable luxury and I love this line. Check it out www.lolly.com.

Whole Foods Magazine: At home spa advice from Larenim's Kirsten Corcoran

Editors seek expert advice from Larenim's Creative Director Kirsten Corcoran in regards to luxury spa products you can use at home. Larenim's Bamboo Skin Polish is the perfect alternative to a facial at a high end spa and contains a variety of healthy ingredients to refresh your skin and leave you with a gorgeous glow.




Other recommendations for good exfoliants are jojoba beads, says Upton, because they “gently exfoliate skin and melt in the process, so they do not abrade and actually soften and condition skin.” Kirsten Corcoran, founder and product manager of Larenim, Worthington, OH, is partial to bamboo stem, pineapple and papaya enzymes and sugar cane alpha-hydroxy-acids as exfoliants.

Diamond Girl's tip to finding fabulous faux accessories

NYC street vendors have some of the best accessories. Every time I'm in the Big Apple I have to take a trip downtown (the best area) to check out all the vendors. I suggest a couple rounds to see who has what and who will give you the best deals.

These clover necklaces are some of my favorite finds for $15 (the designer version $$$$)
