Fashion Freebie, Tampurse Edition

Imagine yourself on a really great first date with that amazingly handsome guy you've been eyeing.

Things are going great, nice conversation, fantastic food. Suddenly you drop your stylish clutch or bag on the way to the ladies room and all the contents in your bag are spilling out. You scramble to find your MAC compact, Dior lipgloss, and Blackberry off the floor but [like the gentleman that your date is] he helps make sure you found all of your things then and oh no... He happened to find the dreaded spilling of the tampons and/or 'lady products'.

I think every girl should save herself from this embarrassing situation, you may think to yourself 'well I'll just put my 'products' in the zipper compartment well what if a male friend asks for a mint and helps himself to your bag and finds mints, right next to your 'products'... Yikes!

Well if you've ever had these situations happen to you [or if you want to prevent this from ever happening] I suggest you take a look at this chic and clever invention created by Rebekah Zougoulos and Anna Paterakis, it's called Tampurse.

Tampurse is a must have item to keep [and cleverly hides your 'lady products'] in your handbag, clutch, backpack or carry-on bag. And to prove to you lovelies that Tampurse is a brilliant creation, Tampurse and Style Du Jour has teamed up for a giveaway!

RULES for the Tampurse Give Away:

1. You MUST 'Like' Tampurse on Facebook and write “ I love Style Du Jour” on the wall for a chance to win!

2. Follow Tampurse on Twitter as well as Style Du Jour.

3. Follow my blog.

4. U. S. Only

5. ONE winner will be chosen randomly ONE week from today, so stay tuned! I will notify the winner next week.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!

Texas Girls Are Unforgettable

A couple of things everyone should know about Texans...

1. We eat, breathe, sleep football [all of my family members are die hard Cowboys fan]. Football is practically religion here.

2. We love our sweet tea [some call it Texas oil].

3. We are proud people.

So speaking of proud, Katy Perry sings about 'California Gurls', but it's really all about Texas girls.
We love our cowboy boots, daisy dukes, and especially our heels! I can't tell you how many times in high school it would be freezing cold [and by freezing I mean 50° and above, were from the south were not used to cold weather!] and girls would still be strutting their stuff in heels.

So to prove my theory, I've gathered a few of my favorite southern fashionista's to prove that Texas girls are unforgettable. Did you notice that the 2nd picture in all of the collages are of the ladies wearing cowboy boots? Not a coincidence!
Cowboy boots are so comfortable, Texas girl or not I think every girl should own a pair.

All of the boots except for the Steve Madden boots can be found at Zappos. [If you click on this image, it enlarges to get a better look!]
What do you think of these Southern belles? What do you think of Cowboy boots, yay or nay?

Pretty Little Liars

As most of you know I am a total Gleek, but there is another tv show that I cannot get enough of and that is Pretty Little Liars.

I watched the first episode and from then on I was hooked! It's so good, the book is a mix of Gossip Girl and Desperate Housewives, so it definitely fills the void that Gossip Girl left.

It also doesn't hurt that I love the girls' wardrobe [especially Aria's hippie/vintage look and Spencer's classic prepster].

Pretty Little Liars is about five girls [Alison DiLaurentis, Aria Montgomery, Emily Fields, Spencer Hastings, and Hanna Marin]. Alison, or Ali, is manipulative, vindictive, and deceitful. She is the 'queen bee' in their little quiet and pristine town of Rosewood.

Alison ruled over her clique, but often found her match in Spencer who was the only one who has ever stood up to Ali.

Spencer is a perfectionist, she's always trying to outdo and outwin her over-achiever sister. [Spencer's style is preppy and classic.]

Hanna was a little overweight and dying to be popular that she always caved in to what Ali said or did.[Hanna was never comfortable with her old body, but since losing the weight she is now the fashionista she always wanted to be.]

Emily is a competitive swimmer from an ultra-conservative family, she is most protective of Alison because she loves her more than a friend. [Emily is very All-American and sporty casual.]

Aria is a former outsider that was the free spirit of the group. [Aria's style is very bohemian, she loves vintage]

Aria reluctantly returns to Rosewood after she and her family moved to Iceland for a year, finding out that former nerd Mona Vanderwaal and a newly-thin Hanna Marin to be the new 'queen bees'. Ali disappears after getting into a heated argument with Spencer at a sleepover with the other girls, and the group falls apart.

Soon Aria begins an affair with her English teacher, Spencer falls for her sister's boyfriend, Emily falls for the new girl [Maya] that moved into Ali's old house although she is dating Ben, Hanna shoplifts and gets caught, and Ali is still missing.

Ultimately, Alison's body is found cemented in her former back yard, where Maya lives, and the DiLaurentis family holds a funeral for Alison in Rosewood.
But a mysterious person called "A" threatens to reveal the girls' secrets from past and present, including ones they thought only Alison knew. One in particular that the girls refer to as "the Jenna thing."

That's just a little juicy taste of what the show is about, I haven't read the books but I am definitely going to start!

What do you think of the show, books, or the girls wardrobe?

WWMKD?

Mary-Kate has been out of the out of the public eye for a while, reappearing every now and then to wow us with her lust worthy looks. [whether they're paparazzi snaps or regular candids she looks fantastic.]

I can't help but to often ask myself WWMKD? What Would Mary-Kate Do? or What Would Mary-Kate Wear?

MK always manages to look ultra cool and have that I-don't-give-a-damn attitude which just draws you to her because she doesn't care about what people say or write about her style.
Fashion is about expressing yourself and being fearless, and I am sure we can all agree that Mary-Kate is fearless!

I know everyone is raving about Jennifer Aniston channeling Barbara Streisand's Funny Girl [Jennifer does look stunning!] in Harpers Bazaar's September issue but I am LOVING Mary-Kate on the September cover of Marie Claire, she looks absolutely gorgeous!

What do you think of Mary-Kate on the Sept. issue of Marie Claire? Or MK's style?
