Say Goodbye To Dry Eyes With Bausch + Lomb Biotrue® (and you could win $100 spa giftcard!)

As a contact lens wearer, I can tell you first hand how irritating it is when your eye feel dry. It is annoying and takes away from your productivity. If, God forbid, this happens while driving, it can cause distraction and even injury. {I usually feel my lens dry up when I work on the computer for a long time.}
Fortunately, the good people in white coats at Bausch and Lomb heard the dry-eye-pleas of contact lens wearers! Their new lens cleaning solution Biotrue is the 'solution' for dry eyes as well!

Biotrue lens solution matches the pH of healthy tears and has the same lubricant found naturally in the eye. The innovative solution also helps keep certain beneficial tear proteins active, and removes deposited proteins that can blur your vision and make wearing contact lenses uncomfortable. 
If you wear contact lenses, participate in Bausch + Laumb dry eye poll (takes less than a minute) and you can win a bottle of Biotrue to experience the comfort yourself! You can also win a pretty green tote bag or bio true printed water bottle or a $100 spa giftcard!!!

So what are you waiting for?? Spin the wheel and play!

Get Fit (fashionably!) with Ellie



I am not a size zero, I am not a gym rat and I love my food. But I love and respect my body (it is the only one I got you know!) and therefore, 'stay fit' is on the top of my to-do list everyday.  I am also obsessed with interested in fashion, and keep an eye out for stylish workout clothes. So when activewear brand Ellie contacted me to have a look at their innovative and stylish workout clothes, I HAD to try them! And believe you me, their collection will make you want to wake up early and go for a run (or to that spinning class you always try to avoid!) The colors are refreshing, fabrics are made to absorb sweat and let the skin breathe and the fit is just perfect!
How can Ellie promise to deliver all that ? First off, their clothes are designed by WOMEN! Hello, a girl knows how we women want our yoga pants to fit at the rear end! Secondly, their Trufit Technology takes the guessing out of sizing. I love the way my Electric Love Capri fits me and moves with me! The fabric is stretchable and skims your curves in the right way. The mesh top I tried is a cropped one that fits loosely and is perfect for layering over a sports bra or a tank top. 
OK, full disclosure: I usually don't smile while doing my lunges, It is more like grunting, you can say!

As you can see, I tried running, stair-ing, lunging, squatting in these bottoms and I witnessed first hand how smooth the fabric feels, how well it stretches with the moves and the fit feels like it is custom tailored for ME! The bonus: There are no awkward seams ( and no camel toe!!!)
Their website is such a fun place to shop! I took a style quiz where you tell your preferred style (like do you prefer full length or cropped length bottoms, tank tops or full sleeves), your workout preference (outdoor, indoor, running, yoga etc) and your size, and they give you a choice of work out clothes saving a lot of time! Now, you can buy as a regular shopper just click and pay and done, or you can become a member and choose 2 pieces EVERY MONTH for just $49.99!  So if you are a busy gal on the go, you can avoid countless trip to the stores, trying on those pesky sports bras, not finding your sizes and colors!
I know you want to give Ellie a try! 
Find their new collection on Ellie.com

Spring Florals + Stripes

The nature conspired against the New Yorkers and after a week of beautiful sunshine, the sun is playing hide and seek again with the clouds. Cold weather withstanding, I still wore my cotton sundress and pretended it is a perfect Spring day! (Except for clouds, it actually was with the tulips blooming and all). I think my last post about floral dresses made me go for this old floral cardigan in my closet. What could be the perfect pairing for spring florals - spring stripes! I was sent this chic tote bag by Massi and I have to say it has become my new go-to carry all bag! It is roomy, can hold all my stuff (all the moms out there know what I am talking about) and the workmanship is really high quality.  I love the herringbone cotton construction,soft leather handle and the cotton twill interior lining! A must-have-can't-live-without tote in my book!! 
Check out Massi accessories too for beautiful necklaces and cuff bracelets!

Spring Trend: Floral Dresses

Femine, flirty, adorable,  pretty and outright beautiful - a good old floral dress demonstrates, better than any other outfit, that Spring is finally here! Two gorgeous stars aced their floral style this week. Mad Men star January Jones aka former Mrs Draper shows of her floral style in a Sam & Lavi dress, (selling at Bloomingdale's, ready to make you poorer by just $138!) and Coach sandals at the recent Coach party in Santa Monica. Jones topped it off with a sleek camel trench coat! Across the coast in NY, Marie Claire's April cover girl Olivia Wilde shows off her toned arms in a delicate yellow Monique  Lhuillier floral dress!
And I CAN NOT stop staring at both of them! Time for some floral shopping I guess!! Here are some of the floral dresses I have my heart set on!!
Dress 1- Modcloth
Dress 2- Coast
Dress 3- Reiss
Dress 4- Topshop
Dress 5- Wallis
Dress 6- Alice + Olivia
Dress 7- John Lewis, Similar at LOFT
Dress 8- Dorothy Perkins

Step Into Spring: Easy Weekend Dressing With Avon

Today I am collaborating with Avon to bring to you the spring wardrobe staples. I have to admit, when I think of Avon, the first things that come to mind are cosmetics and skin and hair care products! But Avon have a great selection of  apparel and shoes (almost all items are under $50!!) that can enrich any wardrobe, all year round.  As spring is finally here (yay! for the 70 degrees in New York!!), it is time say goodbye to winter blues and embrace the cheerful colors of Spring/Summer and Avon is here to help you pick out your Spring essentials and get ready for weekend, work or a party!
The cap toes shoes have been a big trend lately and these stylish and super comfortable cushioned flats in bright ocean colors are a treat to the soles!
A wardrobe staple – the chambray shirt – is oh so chic this season paired with leggings for the weekend or a pencil skirt for the office! Layer it with a trench and you can take this versatile piece well into fall! For just $24.99, this Avon chambray shirt is a steal! I love the length of it as I can tuck it in with a skirt or belt it up over leggings or skinny jeans.
