A CLEANSER FOR EVERY OCCASION

Like most women, when it comes to buying products, one of something is never enough....UH,

can you say "PRODUCT JUNKIE" :))

Take Face Cleansers for instance....

I have one in my shower, one at my bathroom sink, and a special one used for travel.

I like to vary them up too so my skin doesn't get "too complacent". :))  Maybe I'm a product junkie, but my skin doesn't suffer from too many breakouts, a VERY important factor shooting a segment a week for TV.

Here are my favorite Face Cleansers for every "occasion". Click the pictures of each for purchase info~
                                                 -TRAVEL-

                                                                              

                                                                                
CLEANSER 27 is the absolute BEST for traveling.  It is not a liquid base, but a balm that turns into an emulsion when in contact with water.  NO MESSY SPILLS in your travel bag!
It leaves your skin soft, supple and luminous.
                                                                      
                                                -SHOWER-

                                                                               
MATRISKIN FOAMING CLEANSER is a wonderfully foamy concoction in a pump container for easy shower access, that leaves your skin revitalized and clean feeling.

                                                                   
                                                                       -SINK-

                                                                                 
MURAD EXFOLIATING CLEANSER has the "magic three" ingredients for exfoliating- Salicylic, Lactic and Glycolic Acids that dissolve dead skin cell buildup.  I use this one once or twice a week.

HAPPY CLEANSING!  HAPPY SHOPPING!  HAPPY CLEANSING!  HAPPY SHOPPING!

THE STORE TO WATCH

My retail radar is, shall we say....more advanced than the average consumer's....and rightly so.  Honing in on what's hot and finding the latest "must have's" is a mandatory job requirement as a professional shopper.
And you don't have to spend a lot of money necessarily to take advantage of the hot list....case in point- Missoni at Target.
The latest store on the horizon as the "One to Watch" is going to surprise a LOT of people so I'm going to make you guess which store this is-
Mark my words...the demographic of this store is about to change in a major way~

HINT # 1- IT HAS A BLUE JEAN BAR DEPARTMENT IN THE STORE BY LEVI'S-

HINT # 2- IT HAS A COMPLETE IZOD DEPARTMENT FILLED WITH FAB FINDS

HINT #3- MAJOR DESIGNERS ARE LINED UP OVER THE NEXT 6 MONTHS TO LAUNCH                     THEIR DESIGNER MINI BOUTIQUES INSIDE THIS STORE THAT GUARANTEED
                                                                   YOU WILL WANT

HINT #4- SPORTSWEAR BRAND NAMES SUCH AS NIKE, PUMA AND ADIDAS WILL BE VERY COMMON PLACE HERE BUT AT AMAZING PRICE POINTS

HINT #5- UH-OH.....THIS ONE GIVES IT AWAY- THEY WILL HAVE THEIR VERY OWN HIGH END DESIGNER CASHMERE AND CONTEMPORARY LINE.... 

SURPRISE- IT'S JCP!!!

HAPPY SHOPPING!!  HAPPY SHOPPING!!

THIS WEEK ON TV -SHOPPING IS MY CARDIO

I have the best job....I get paid to shop on TV, and boy do I thank my lucky stars everyday :))
This week for SHOPPING IS MY CARDIO I found fun ways to add sparkle for you and
your home.
My first stop was SWAG located inside NorthPark Center outside of Neimans, and let me tell you- shopping there I felt like a kid in a candy shop!!  Owner Lisa Alfieri really has an eye for fabulous
"Couture Fashion Jewelry" featuring over 30 designers in the store.  It was hard to choose, but my favorite statement pieces were by Erickson Beamon and Miriam Haskell.
A MUST HAVE fab way to add pizazz and sparkle to any outfit!!

                                                                                 
Next on the agenda was CULINARY CONNECTION for beautiful home accents and gifts.
Located at The Shops at Legacy, owner Pam Vincent really has found wonderful Fall decor  that can really make a house a home.  If you collect Vietri, then this store is for you- Pam has the largest selection of Vietri in North Texas!  Personally, I loved the Lifetime candles and the Maple Leaf at Home engraved cutting boards.  Ideal for hostess gifts!!

Last, but certainly not least, D'HIERRO which means "Made of Iron" in Spanish. Ironworks are their specialty, however this store offers so much more in gorgeous home decor!  Unbelievable beds with delicious bedding, buttery leather sectionals, great dining tables that convert into various sizes....the list goes on and on.  Husband and wife team Jorge and Rocio Perez have two beautiful store locations- Southlake Town Square and The Shops at Legacy, both with an in-house design team ready to assist you~

SANDRA & OLIVIER'S BOUTIQUE was a hidden gem I discovered and made it this show's "Spotlight on a Store We Love".  Olivier's fashionable european collections for men and women downstairs, and Sandra's spa services up the spiral staircase.  A shopper's paradise for the fashionista multi-tasker!   

For my lifestyle segment this week I featured CHOCTAW CASINOS in Durant as a great weekend getaway.  Rick Springfield, Miranda Lambert and Scotty Win Poker Tournament are just a few awesome upcoming events coming to Choctaw this September. Perfect for a staycation hotspot just an hour outside of Dallas and you cannot believe how LUXE the accommodations are!!
You have to see it to believe it~

DON'T MISS THIS SUNDAY'S SHOW! 
DESIGNING DFW WITH JOCELYN WHITE
SUNDAY, 11:00AM ON WFAA, CHANNEL 8
                                                                  
                                          HAPPY SHOPPING AND STAY TUNED!!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM FASHIONS NIGHT OUT 2012

Last night marked the fourth annual nationwide event Fashion's Night Out and let me tell you, Dallas fashionistas were painting the town red!  Personally, I was so giddy with excitement the entire night of festivities, I didn't want it to end....
Actually I am going to petition that FNO become a national holiday. :)))
Here are some of the highlights from my FNO night~

My first stop to visit my friend Jay Strongwater at Neiman's NP for his fab cocktail party at 6pm. 

These costumes were even better in person..models are wearing Jay's collection inspired in the flesh~

Prior to the Neiman Marcus 7pm fashion show at NorthPark Center~

In the act of modeling my "FNO Look" for the night on-camera.

After all ...Navy is the new neutral :))

Never do I miss an opportunity to give a SHOPPING IS MY CARDIO soundbite! 

Such was the case, being interviewed here by Anthony Wilkinson for NorthPark Mall TV.

At Highland Park Village before the 9pm show~
