I tried a spray tan from Sun Tan City for the first time in my life this week (4th picture down I'm pretty sure).......what do you guys think?  I kind of like it but I'm anxiously waiting to see how long it lasts.  Have any of you ever got a spray tan at a salon before?  Any tips or tricks for a newbie like me?

  4. I've just recently discovered all these style blogs and it's fun to see other people's ideas. But your style is just perfection! I love your look every single day!

    Oh, the spray tan thing...lots of exfoliation before and you should be good for a couple of weeks before you start to see any fading.

  6. Callandra I love all your outfits this week, especially #1, #4, and #6. I'm always wearing a scarf and I like how you layer all your outfits. I need to practice on wearing a thin belt over sweaters and jackets (I have a big bottom and would like to emphasize my waist). You had me laughing with your comment about your hair on #2.

  7. i love the outfit with your husband's hat, so cute. about the spray tan - did you end up with super orange hands and feet? i got a spray tan once and i must have done something wrong because the bottoms of my feet and palms of my hands came out disgustingly dark brown/orange and i no matter how hard i scrubbed they stayed like that for about 36 hours, it was so embarrassing! but aside from that, i think the tan stayed for a little over a week. a nice alternative to tanning in a bed

  8. I think the spray tan works different on different skin types. For me, it held for a good week before I would see fading. Do not shower for several HOURS after you go and make sure you moisturize knees, elbows or any dry areas with that lotion stuff they provide. I've always had pretty good results. Just gotta learn to deal with the smell initally :)

  9. Love every single outfit...especially #4 and last one.
    I had spray tan done a few times and I usually like to do it in the evening when I don't have to go any place and shower in the morning the next day. Exfoliating really good is the key to a perfect tan I think. Most places should have lotion in the spray tan room to put on your feet, palms, between fingers etc. so it doesn't turn orange. :)

  10. I don't think you need it but I think it looks good. Outfit 1, 3, 4 and 5 are my favorites but the others are works of genius-ness.

  12. I just got spray tan on Groupon or a similar site and am looking forward to trying it out.

    All your outfits are fantastic as always. Love that denim BR Outlet jacket, and the taupe ensemble is so elegant I could see a young Anna Wintour rocking it.

  13. You look awesome in all of these outfits! I think my fave is the one with the Banana denim jacket and LOFT dress...awesome!!

  14. I was so sure the Steve Madden bag would be some high-end designer. The color and the smooshiness look amazing.

    My favorite outfit has to be #4, love the dress and the print. But of course your styling is amazing as always in every single one!

  23. Hi Kileen, I've seen you do some pretty fancy layering yourself girl ;)

    Thank you Jaruchu...(No closet should be without one) Lol

    Awww....thank you Jess!

    Thanks Bella Style....(Although I never would have expected that one to be your favorite) very interesting ;)

    Thank you DCResider, those are very kind words indeed!

    Hi Love Joice, Thanks so much for checking me out and leaving a comment!

    Hi SJ.......favorite thrift shop hands down would have to be e-bay. It's so hard to find my size in regular stores let alone find something that fits in a thrift shop! I like ebay because I can shop by my size and measurements for sure!
