Long dresses are the new black

            Normally the summertime is meant to show off those toned legs and arms in something short. Well why not leave a little to the imagination by not giving it all away too fast. Remember what mom said when you were in high school. Well the same applies now-leave a little something to the imagination. Follow in the footsteps of celebs like Paris Hilton, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Simpson who love long dresses, and don this fabulous long purple cotton dress. So you can now say you actually did something that mom told you to do. Well kind of. You didn’t hire that personal trainer at L.A. Fitness for flabby arms did you? Show them off.

  

Into the Wild

Want to look like you zipped to an exotic place for a weekend jaunt and picked up some clothes in a land glamorous and far away? Or just look like Lauren Conrad from The Hills? Well stop by Sweet Samba’s boutique and pick up this blue, black, brown, yellow and red Ikat top and pair it with some cute little black shorts or some skinny leg colored jeans. Perhaps even try it out over another Ikat print dress to, you know, spice it up a little. In case you haven’t already.

  

Hey baby

            Nobody puts baby in the corner, according to Johnny in Dirty Dancing. Well no one puts you in the corner either. Especially in that fantastic embroidered top, we just got in at Sweet Samba’s boutique. Embroidery is huge this summer and has been all over the runways of Bryant Park (New York Fashion Week). So even though we know you’re not a slave to trends, you like to be in the know. So scoop up on of these tops and everyone will be asking, where in the world did she get that?

  

The world is full of people who will go their Whole lives and not actually Live one day.

She did not intend on being one of them. 

 

when faith in myself was so strong that I believe I could move mountains.

Clare, thanks for being a wonderful model.

I don’t know what sparked the conversation about Brazilians between my roommate, Shelley and I, but bikini waxing came up. But I had never had one. Shelley gets them done every month at this random nail salon down the street. She suggested I go with her and get one. But I wasn’t really convinced. I mean the whole shaving thing got old and I was certainly ready for something else, but I thought (and heard) bikini waxing was incredibly painful.

I got online to do some research and Googled for a while. Then I found this Facebook fan page for Sweet Samba Boutique & Spa that does bikini waxing (obviously). Intrigued by the name, I asked Shelley about it and told her about the $35 special for a Brazilian bikini wax. We decided to go in and try it out. $35 is not much and Shelley pays something like $60 every time she goes. Anyway long story short, I had a great experience at Sweet Samba. It’s in this super cute house by Piedmont Park. When I walked in, they offered me some wine! Ha yes I would like some wine in the middle of my work day. Thank you. My esthetician made me feel a lot better about the whole pain factor. She thoroughly explained the process and got down to business while I was watching TV. FYI they have TV’s on the ceiling which you know, kind of got my mind off of the whole waxing thing. Sure I was a little bit uncomfortable, but it was nothing like I thought. I’m definitely going back! So for all of you who think Brazilians are painful, stop by Sweet Samba. They are really clean, quick and professional. You won’t be disappointed. And check out their Facebook page!
