Tipsy Favs: Bra Edition

February 16, 2010 by

Us Tipsy girls think alike a lot of the time and that’s what makes us such a great combo, but there are some instances where our favorite of a certain item is completely different from one another. Bras, for instance.. some of us want a lil umph, some wanna tame those bad boys, and some just go out seeking comfort.  So, here they are…..The Tipsy Girls’ Favs: Bras.

  1. AK: Soma Intimates, Travelers Allurer Bra– Full coverage and seamless…and perfect for under a tshirt. Sounds good to me!
  2. Sarah: Victoria’s Secret, Dream Angels Demi Bra– Oh, that Sarah, she’s a sassy one. This one boasts a little lift, a little sex appeal and a little omgsocute.
  3. Court: Warners, Elements of Bliss Modal Wire Free Contour– Sleek, comfy and disappears under the clothes. Sign me up!
  4. Der: Target, Gilligan O’Malley Demi Bra with Lace Wings– Some cuteness with the lace, but some smoothness for the tshirt girl that I am. I’m also a huge fan of this one.

Upgrading the PJs

January 5, 2010 by

Lately, I have felt the need to give myself a pajama make-over. I’m seeking out some options that aren’t all skanky, but wouldn’t send me running for the hills if someone were to actually see me in them. As of right now, I’ll call my PJ look.. ” Homeless Raggamuffin”. It’s a combination of the oldest t-shirts I own and waitin for a flood pajama pants. SEXY. Let me tell ya. Ok, so here are some options.

  2. Best Buy, Nikon D5000– I would love this camera more than any of my family members, including my dogs. Ook,  not them. But everyone else. If I hadn’t already proven myself to be an expensive camera breaker, I MIGHT actually be eligible for this gift.

  8. Ann Taylor LOFT, Refined Knit Ruffle Neck Dress– Because I NEED more ruffles in my life. NO, I don’t have anywhere to wear it! SO??
  9. Mac Cosmetics, Tinted Lipglass in Spite -This was the first lipglass that I ever owned and I think I need to bring it back into my life Christmas 2009. It’s a mauvy pink and perfection.
