Valentine's Day Slumber Party With Kohl's!

“Always wear cute pajamas to bed, you never know who you’ll meet in your dreams.”
Unknown

Pajamas are a huge part of celebrations around my house. Each year on Christmas Eve, everyone unwraps a new pair of pajamas that they will then proceed to wake up in on Christmas morning, and wear all day long as we tear open gifts, drink hot chocolate, and watch A Christmas Story on loop. It’s a family tradition that has crept its way over to my circle of friends for what we like to refer to as our Annual Valentine’s Day Slumber Party (très Baby-Sitters Club, I know – but we ♥ it); wherein any of us who happen to be single for the holiday will gather together to do all things super girly.

This means pink and red manis and pedis; gorging on vanilla cupcakes topped with pink frosting and Red Hot Hearts; facials; back-to-back viewings of romantic comedies (though we tend to watch Serendipity multiple times); and…a pajama exchange that starts the moment everyone is in the door. Thus, I was super excited when Kohl’s sent me a collection of adorable pajamas that are ultra-cute for Valentine’s Day (red, pink, covered in tiny hearts…), or year-round – and ideal for this year’s Annual Valentine’s Day Slumber Party! – that included the Apt. 9 Pleated Chemise in Pink Dot; Jennifer Lopez Ravishing Rouge Heart Romper; and the Apt. 9 Forever Yours Heart Pajama Set.

♥Apt. 9 Pleated Chemise in Pink Dot ♥
This was my first encounter with a Chemise. I have seen them in stores in the past, but have never invested in one…oddly enough, this is my favorite piece out of the trio that Kohl’s sent me. The print is very flirty; and with the mix of morning bedhead you literally wake-up looking ultra-glamorous.

♥Jennifer Lopez Ravishing Rouge Heart Romper♥
I have an obsession with rompers / playsuits, so this, to me, was one of the most perfect pieces imaginable. The heart print is a playful touch that is festive for Valentine’s Day, yet still wearable year-round. I love this Romper too much to part with it; so I’m buying an extra for our Annual Valentine’s Day Slumber Party Pajama Exchange. I already know that it’s going to be massively successful with my BFF’s!

♥Apt. 9 Forever Yours Heart Pajama Set♥
This particular set has Sleepy Sunday Morning written all over it – which I love. It is perfect for those days when you wake up and want to do nothing but curl up with coffee, and a good book, and laze the day away…precisely how I used it just yesterday!

What Valentine’s Day traditions do you have? Better yet, do they involve cute et cozy pajamas?


Fashionably yours!

Cafe Fashionista Book Club

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”
Charles W. Eliot

If there is one thing most of you have probably learned about me via Café Fashionista over the years (aside from the fact that I am a shoe addict), is that I am a complete bookworm. Reviewing, recommending, reading…all can be found on my list of hobbies. In fact, my handbag, in my estimation, is barren if there is not a book taking up residence within its folds. And I think, based upon much of the feedback I have received from all of you when I mention books, that many share my adoration of the written word; therefore, I thought that it was high time to add a new feature to Café Fashionista…a monthly Book Club!

That’s right; today I am introducing you to the Café Fashionista Book Club! Each month, I will announce a new book that I would love to read with all of you, and you can either choose to read it along with me, or not (like I said, the choice is yours).

Throughout the month, you can come back to this original posting, and Discuss the current book club selection in the Comments section, sharing your thoughts on a character you love (or love to hate), memorable quotes or scenes in the book, and the like. Everything is very informal; but I think that it will be a blast, and I hope that you will all join in!

Now for the fun part. The very first Café Fashionista Book Club selection is…The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith!

♥Book Synopsis: 'Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?'

Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. She's stuck at JFK, late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon to be step-mother that Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's in seat 18C. Hadley's in 18A.

Twists of fate and quirks of timing play out in this thoughtful novel about family connections, second chances and first loves. Set over a 24-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.

The title has been revealed, now it’s time to read and discuss!

Haute Hair at Home: HANAair Professional Hair Dryer Review

My experience with hair dryers has never been anything to write home about. Past experiences have left me with numb arms (due to heavyweight tools), and sheer frustration over lengthy wait times for said hair dryers to make good on their promise…dry my hair. Thus, unless someone else is working their magic on my follicles, I consider myself to be an air-dry type of girl. Meaning? I let my wet hair dry naturally – super fabulous in the way of saving time, but definitely not recommended if you want a chic et sleek coiffure. So when Misikko – known for their CHI Hair Products, Professional Hair Straighter selection, and the Best Hair Dryers – gave me the opportunity to review the HANAair Professional Hair Dryer – dubbed “The Premiere Hair Dryer” – I saw it as an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Aesthetically, the HANAair Professional Hair Dryer is stunning to look at. It is compact, sophisticated, and sleek, with a rich, black finish, and nondescript gray labeling that is subtle – yet still gets the job done of informing the user precisely what tool is in their possession. Best of all, of course, is the fact that it is lightweight. Featuring Wattage of 2300, 2 fan speeds, 3 heat settings, and a cold shot, I immediately knew that this particular hair dryer was far more powerful than previous ones that I have used; which actually scared me a little, as I was worried that it would cause frizz and/or heat damage – it didn’t.

The ION Technology found in the HANAair Professional Hair Dryer actually conditions hair and reduces static electricity which, in my opinion, made my hair (which has a slight wave / frizz to it when not treated with a hair dryer) feel incredibly healthy, in that once completed the look was super shiny and smooth – no flyaway or frizz at all. This particular hair dryer does retail for $334.99; however, it is $194.99 via Misikko. Normally, I would not be willing to spend so much on a hair care tool (as most of you well know, the majority of my money goes to shoes); however, time is money, and it took me less than ten minutes to completely blow dry my hair using the HANAair Professional Hair Dryer (a task which, with other hair dryers, has taken upwards of 45-minutes) – thus, I see it as a great investment item.

Now that I’ve told you about the HANAair Professional Hair Dryer itself, I have to tell you about what Misikko included with it – as these items literally made me squeal for joy, and made it possible for me to experience Christmas in January. Seriously. Misikko should win an award for their packaging alone. I was treated to a purple, white, and black color scheme (with a cuddly pop of pink), which included a Sleep Mask (very Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany’s); Rosebud-Shaped Potpourri; full-size bottles of Paul Mitchell Shampoo One and The Detangler (P.S. There’s definitely a new man in my hair’s life now); an e.l.f. Mechanical Eyelash Curler; multiple Emery Boards (beyond perfect as I am a nail care nut); two bottles of Mellow Hand Sanitizer; HANA Shine Shield; a HANA Hand Towel; Corioliss’ The Straightening Comb; and, my personal favorite (I totally saved the best for last), a Hot Pink Stuffed Teddy Bear (which I am beyond in love with, as I still have a stuffed animal collection).

POSITIVES:
♥ Lightweight so your arm does not get tired during use. ♥
♥ 2300 Watts so hair dries faster than it would with other dryers on the market. ♥
♥ 2 Fan Speeds; 3 Heat Settings; and a Cold Shot. ♥
♥ ION Technology conditions hair, making it shiny and smooth. ♥
♥ Professional-Grade so you get salon-worthy hair at home. ♥
♥ Sleek, sophisticated aesthetic. ♥

FASHIONISTA VERDICT:
The HANAair Professional Hair Dryer is the Chanel 2.55 of the hair world!
♥ 5 / 5 Hearts ♥

Sunday Steals: Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Trench with Dot Print for Pennies

Lovers, representing the left corner we have Sonia by Sonia Rykiel’s tantalizing Trench with Dot Print; in the right corner we have Banana Republic’s pretty Polka Dot Trench.

Though the ravishing Rykiel is constructed out of a Cotton and Spandex blend, as opposed to the 100% Polyester of the beautiful Banana Republic piece; for just $150.00, in comparison to the $595.00 needed to rev up your wardrobe with a splash of Rykiel refinery, it is the perfect way for one to add a classic piece of whimsy to their outerwear collection – at a price that leaves over a bit of spare change for a rainy day!

Now the question remains…will you be thrifty, or suckered into putting on your spendthrift cap?

I Think I LOV You Giveaway

“Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”
Robert Heinlein
Darlings, the aforementioned quote seemed the perfect way for me to introduce to you the Live.One.Vision Project – better known as L.O.V – a heartwarming affair specializing in the creation of 100% Silk Print Scarves that are lightweight, bedecked with 14K Gold-Plated Charms that dangle daintily from each corner, and dyed a multitude of gorgeous colors via natural resources such as pine cones, lemon grass, eucalyptus, and mulberry leaves. But perhaps the most intriguing part of this process is the inspiring artisans who make each one of these pieces by hand.

“The artisans are young adults from impoverished backgrounds, and most have an unfortunate physical disability. They are educated and rehabilitated at a vocational training center, provided free housing and medical care. Financing these self-employment projects, allow the women to generate income, and provide for themselves and their families.”

Now that you’ve learned a bit about them, the time has come for two (2) of you to take home an L.O.V Scarf of your very own. That’s right, my loves! Café Fashionista has teamed up with L.O.V Project to bring two (2) dazzling divas the Varkala Silk Scarf (Retail Value $85.00) – a Mustard-colored pretty that was most recently seen inside the pages of People StyleWatch magazine!

Tightwad Tuesday: Prada Baroque Round Sunglasses for a Steal

Mon doux, in the left corner we have Prada’s beautiful Baroque Round Sunglasses – the very ones seen donned by Mary-Kate Olsen, Gwen Stefani, Paris Hilton, Rihanna, Zoe Saldana, and Eva Mendes; in the right corner take a gander at GoJane’s Swirl Arm Sunglasses.

While the glamorous GoJane offering lacks the Prada nametag; for a mere $9.50, in comparison to the $290.00 required to take their couture counterpart home, they are le perfect way for the frugal fashionista to add a celebrity touch to her arsenal of accessories – at a price that allows one to scoop up a pair in all three saucy shades (Black / Navy, Tortoise, and White)!
