Sorry for the lack of a Tuesday post! Life got in the way…pesky life!

This is moi Sunday via the crackberry, and I clearly need to fake a tan by Saturday ASAP! I look like Casper. (Bangs are pinned back due to it being Death Valley Hot) I’ve decided to go with the little white crochet dress, thanks in part to all your suggestions. You never fail me! I don’t have the luxury of laying out everyday til then and I’m trying to cut back anyway because it’s so unhealthy, and tanning beds freak me out. I’m claustrophobic and the scene from I Still Know What You Did Last Summer traumatized me. Where the killer locks Jennifer Love Hewitt and her boobs in the tanning bed?! So creepy…anyways…luckily I know how to fake it!
Here are my favorite get glowing products!

Nars Orgasm Blush and Lipgloss. Perfect warm peachy rawwwr insta-glow!

Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel. I’m going to do a product review on this for you! A little before and after action. I love it though…so I’m biased ha. It dries instantly-meaning you don’t wake up with it on your sheets, the color is perfection, doesn’t stink, and is way healthier than the sun.
Michael Kors Leg Shine. One of my favorite perfumes makes my legs look bronze, glowy and shimmery! And it’s TEN DOLLARS! Done and done.
When my amazing friend at Brunch at Saks twittered to me about the crazy sale at Saks, how cute is that, I found these Gucci’s…and I think they are the perfect match for my dress!
Gucci wedges available here. They are $400 OFF! The color is perfect to elongate the leg and they kind of have the boho-chic/yay freedom rings look that I am apparently going for.
Anyone have any other tips/fav products? Happy Wednesday! XOXO, Liz

I think you look really pretty just the way you are.Kinda like a modern day Snow White.Which I think is a really good thing.

PS.I don't really think you're all that pale.Trust me,I KNOW pale.

I second – you look great as is chickie!! And of course – anything Gucci is A-OKAY with me…

XOXO beautiful girl!!

That scene in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer freaks me out too! Luckily, there are no handles on the tanning beds I use to trap me in there, and there's a lock on the door to every room, so no one can sneak up on me. :) I use a bronzing bed only, so it gives me a very gradual tan, nothing stark or risky. But pale skin is beautiful too!

5 ♥Aubrey July 1, 2009 at 12:39 am

I think it's something in the water, because i've been skimping on the tanning too. What the H.E.Y. Anywhoo- i use vaseline as my moisturizer go to :) Have a wonderful day sweetie ♥

6 Fashion Moment July 1, 2009 at 2:01 am

I am trying to find an easy way to fake tan w/o looking like a carrot, so I am curious about the Clarins self-tanner.

Those shoes are super-cute…wedges are my fav!

10 Iva July 1, 2009 at 3:53 am

16 Keith July 1, 2009 at 6:52 am

I think you're beautiful tan or not. I do hope you have a great time this weekend.

17 Brunch at Saks July 1, 2009 at 6:52 am

First things first: You are just gorgeous my love! Second: I am SO excited that you got the shoes! I didn't end up buying the Choo's, but now I am wishing I would have!

You will have to tell us how they are once you get them! Have a great day xo :)

18 The Peanut Butter Blur July 1, 2009 at 7:11 am

I honestly want to know how you get time to enjoy life when you put that much work into ur physical appearance. and i'm not dissing. i really wanna know what the life of a materialistic future diva is like.

19 Brown Girl July 1, 2009 at 7:17 am

Cute pic and I love love those shoes!! Those will go with tons of stuff!

20 Couture Carrie July 1, 2009 at 7:22 am

oh my goodness i need to have that leg shine! seriously. i really think i might have to treat myself today…thank you!

22 Children of the Nineties July 1, 2009 at 7:27 am

Love all the glowy-ness, and those shoes. They are $400 off, but also $400 on, so maybe a little out of my budget!

23 Hanh, Life-in-Travel July 1, 2009 at 7:33 am

You are beautiful girl!!!

Fake tan is streaky..don't want to be carrot;-)

Hanh,

24 The Mug Shot Girls July 1, 2009 at 7:40 am

ha unhealthy. whatev! i have not tanned in over two years, so i think i am good for this month:) you look hawwwt!

help, i need help with deciding on some NARS products!!

sorry for being M.I.A this weekend. i had to organize and decorate for a wedding shower. and then go to a wedding shower too. ironic? does not even begin to describe it. i am calling you tonight!!!

25 Diana July 1, 2009 at 7:52 am

you look gorgeous, don't tan! or at least fake tan :)

26 Pinky July 1, 2009 at 7:53 am

As a fellow pale girly I love Guerlain Blondes bronzer. It is pretty pricey at around $40, but sooo worth it. Gives a hint of a tan without looking fake or cakey.

P.S. just wanted to say Hi! and I love your blog. You're freaking hysterical!! =)

27 Kristin July 1, 2009 at 8:01 am

I used the Aveeno self tanner for my wedding and it was so natural looking and didn't leave any after smell. Although, I have to agree that you look gorgeous without one. Check your email when you get a chance. : )

28 The Socialite July 1, 2009 at 8:18 am

NARS never fails us! :) I have not tried the Michael korrs leg shine but I've added it to my list especially for $10?!! Thanks for the tip!

Happy Wednesday!

29 josie(bean) July 1, 2009 at 8:38 am

i love Nars and i think every girl has the Orgasm collection (because it truly is the perfect shade for summer, and for ANY skin type)! and i am so trying the MKors leg shine ($10 is SUCH a steal!!)

thanks for the update lady, such a good help as usual :D

30 Dooder City July 1, 2009 at 8:47 am

Hi my darling! You are a hot child. I love that photo of you. So when you get here you are going to show me how to do make up properly like a proper lady? hehehe
I think I might just color my hair. I just have to figure out the funds and stuff but my friend reminded me hair is hair and you only live once:)
XO,
D-

31 Kellie July 1, 2009 at 8:59 am

You are going to look so super cute on your date! can't wait to hear about it. And that MK shine stuff, I'm buying it now!!! :)

32 Patty Ann July 1, 2009 at 9:01 am

you are gorgeous the way you are cupcake.

33 Carlotta July 1, 2009 at 9:18 am

GORGEOUS!! you're a real doll very very beautiful!! love the name or nars blush/gloss but here in italy they're not available, I'm Benefit & Cargo addicted :)

34 RCaitlin July 1, 2009 at 9:48 am

I can never seem to find "fake" tan products that work. I'm so excited about these suggestions. Thanks for sharing!

35 Melissa July 1, 2009 at 9:49 am

No,don't go orange…you look adorable!
My bangs didn't survive this heat either, gosh the sun is baking. Glad you went with the white dress, it was the most fun. Girly those shoes are amazing…Love!

Happy Wednesday

36 dapper kid July 1, 2009 at 9:52 am

Woah, those Gucci shoes are SO stunning!!! And loving the sound of the white crochet dress :) Faking it with cream is always healthier than sun beds, plus nowadays it's far more subtle and you get a really nice colour!

37 Ali July 1, 2009 at 9:54 am

Woo hoo! Glad you came to a decision…sounds like a great one!

And those shoes are great. $400 off? THAT is unbeweavable!

TONIGHT!

38 Allison July 1, 2009 at 10:11 am

So saw that comment above! haha! how do you have the time liz?

those shoes are super cute too. yes, i agree to tan for that white dress. no blending in allowed. i hope you have soo much fun!!

39 HoneyBunny July 1, 2009 at 10:22 am

Aww you look adorable dear! I totally love the vision of your in that dress and those fab shoes! <33
And I've never used any sunbeds! I guess I too scared..hehe:)

40 HoneyBunny July 1, 2009 at 10:23 am

Oh! And good luck in my giveaway darling:*

41 Carissa July 1, 2009 at 10:47 am

first off, I think you look great in that photo! pinned back bangs and Casper skin! haha. but that is coming from the palest girl on earth. I have given up any hope I had of tanning. But I do love Nars orgasm blush and the cheap bronzer by I-can't-remember-who in my makeup bag when I am trying to fake some kind of glow :) I don't have much patience for self-tanners, especially since I am SO pale that it really doesn't look natural (though I do like that lotion by Jergens that has just a touch of tanner in it, because it is pretty fool proof) but that Michael Kors leg shimmer sounds pretty fantastic! and $10?! definitely need to get me some of that.

and finally, those wedges are amazing. I only wish I wasn't 5'8" or else I'd totally buy em!

anyhoo, you are going to look fab for your date! that boy won't know what hit him.

42 Ali July 1, 2009 at 10:47 am

Oh, and I forgot to tell you just HOW much I appreciate your SATC title of this post. Don't think I don't notice!!

43 ONiC July 1, 2009 at 10:58 am

<3 the shoes :D

44 Lily G. July 1, 2009 at 11:05 am

Wow, $400 off those shoes!! Awesome.

46 Savvy Mode SG July 1, 2009 at 11:23 am

you look perfectly fine. yup, i had loads of fun at saks too. nm is having a big sale too.

47 OceanDreams July 1, 2009 at 11:26 am

You keep on bringing up NARS, I really must try this out…looks like some amazing products!!

If it makes you feel better I have never gone tanning. My mom has external skin cancer and I want to keep my skin preserved. So…it's okay to be casper; it will save your life doll. ;)

Thos shoes are amazing – you will have to take a new picture of your outfit! Yay!

Thanks for the encouragement – still feeling a tad blue, but staying to keep my head up! Hope you are doing the same love!

48 Le Owl July 1, 2009 at 11:57 am

49 siovhan July 1, 2009 at 1:10 pm

50 LENORENEVERMORE July 1, 2009 at 1:24 pm

52 tanya July 1, 2009 at 3:08 pm

P.S you look so pretty in that picture–loving the makeup!

53 Meg Fee July 1, 2009 at 3:10 pm

USED TO LOVE YOU, you hold your tongue!! yayyy, welcome, welcome, welcome!!

54 Erienne July 1, 2009 at 3:40 pm

I am dying to know how that self-tanner works out. I'm in desperate need of some tanning and have yet to find one that doesn't smell bad 3 hours after I apply it!

Yep, those Gucci's would be absolutely adorable with the dress you chose {love that one!}. Do it!

You look fantabulous in that picture!! You shush it!

55 Dream Sequins July 1, 2009 at 4:44 pm

Just a little self-tanner on the legs and arms and you'll be good to glow! Meow. Do an outfit post of the date outfit when it happens! The poor dude doesn't stand a chance :)

56 Keeley July 1, 2009 at 5:33 pm

70 black vanilla rose July 2, 2009 at 5:13 pm

I spelt hear wrong eeek haha don't mind me… must be friday (:

71 Pinky July 2, 2009 at 8:56 pm

I must give you amazing props for handling this the way you did. Where do people get off thinking they can say things like that about people they do not know personally. In all fairness, I do not know you personally either. BUT, and this is a huge but, your blog is one of the few I actually read. Most of the blogs I check to see the pictures, I do not care about anything they have to say. Yours is full of substance and wit and I truly enjoy reading it. Why? Because it exudes personality and shows what a fun person you are. Ignore the haters and keep on rocking =)

P.S. are you moving to NYC? When? You'll love it here, I promise!

72 Joelyne July 3, 2009 at 3:19 am

You look beautiful!
mwa

73 Abra July 5, 2009 at 2:20 pm

Wow, LOVE those shoes! Wish I were shorter so I could wear them on a daily basis. Wish I had money too, so I could buy them :P

Great choice to go with the white crochet dress!

74 Yellow Brick Blog July 6, 2009 at 3:32 pm

Love the Michael Kors Leg Shine!
