Come Fab Finding With Me: Lovely Easter Brunch

I couldn't help but notice a yummy picture of eggs benedict in Team.

I couldn't help but notice a yummy picture of eggs benedict in Team. theotherhalfofme has started a group asking for help to put together an outfit for her birthday brunch. Though this is a private group, it inspired this Fab Finding. I'm actually going to be in San Diego for Easter weekend for a little mother daughter escape. I haven't been since I was a wee lassie and my mom and I made some Easter brunch reservations at a nice outdoor restaurant. You all know I'm not a fan of pink, but I do love the festivity of Easter so I'll start you off with this Bottega Veneta Chain handle bag, $2,760.

Let's go Fab Finding for a lovely Easter brunch outfit. This is a mother daughter thing so something more fun and cute is what I'm thinking. Make sure to throw in a great jacket or cover up in case it's breezy! Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with easter brunch.

Mama Mio! Pampering for Mommys-To-Be

Mama Mio is a fab new line of pampering products for the pregnant woman who has special needs.

Mama Mio is a fab new line of pampering products for the pregnant woman who has special needs. It was created by three mothers who all had previous experience in the beauty industry and were looking to invent something specific for the pregnancy era in women's lives when they are feeling awkward in their own skin!

The special fragrance in the products is also the key ingredient. It is called Gravida which is made from ten essential oils and lipids to help keep your skin soft and supple - it also means pregnancy in Latin, how clever! Oh, and don't worry, the smell has been proven to appeal to even those who are suffering from bouts of icky morning sickness.

So far the line consists of ten products: Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil, Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Cream, Boob Tube, Wonder-Full Balm, Moisturizing Shower Cream, Super-Rich Body Cream, Massage Oil, Gravida Candle, The Post Pregnancy Emergency Repair Tummy toner and Stretch Mark Minimiser.

They have also created five different kits which make terrific gifts! I love the one that's called, "It's Time." This is a perfect present to show up with when visiting a new mommy in the hospital. Two of their signature products from the Emergency Repair Line are especially noteworthy.

Ruffles, ruffles glorious ruffles!

Ruffles, ruffles glorious ruffles! You know you're a girlie gal when you have a thing for ruffles. In this week's Life & Style we see which celebs favor this feminine detail.

So don't mark my words; I can always be romanced, especially when it comes to shoes!

Celebrity Style: Paris Hilton

What an interesting Celebrity Style week!

What an interesting Celebrity Style week! Britney actually had a well put together outfit on, and Paris Hilton, who's fashion sense is just not the best, has cleaned up her act a bit. Maybe it's because of the new hottie she's dating; maybe he prefers a more ladylike look? Perhaps. Regardless, she looks cute and slightly nautical here. Enjoy it while it lasts!
