I love shoes. I’m fairly certain that if you read my blog, you probably love shoes too.  And sangria in a bottle, Destiny’s Child and reality T.V, but that’s another story.  You know what’s even better than shoes? FREE SHOES.

The generous, beautiful people at Rocket Dog have offered to giveaway SIX PAIRS OF SHOES to my readers.  3 pairs, 2 winners of each!

I had the extremely stressful task of choosing the 3 styles up for grabs-here they are!

1. Bond Taffy Stripe Fabric $44.95

2. Caprice $59.953. Chillout Crochet Cotton $39.95 I thought these were a cute alternative to flip flops!

For additional entries, follow Rocket Dog on Twitter and tweet something to the effect of-”I want to win SHOES from @Itsunbeweavable & @Rocketdogbrands

“Like” Rocket Dog on Facebook, and leave a comment on their wall mentioning the giveaway.

Contest ends next Friday 6/24.
Make sure to come back and leave a comment for each entry, so I know to count it! Good luck…from me…and Kelly.Oh my God. Shoes. Let’s get some shoes.

Hoping some of you know what I’m talking about?! I actually paid money to see her/him at the House of Blues in West Hollywood a few years ago.  It was interesting, to say the least.

Recently I was introduced to the great people behind Split Girl, a Southern California based lifestyle brand comprised of board sports, music, art and of course, fashion. Growing up in Southern Cali, I am no stranger to Split, so I was excited when this opportunity came along, and even more excited to hear of the Split Girl apparel and swim brand re-launch this Spring. I had a chance to talk with the designer behind Split Girl, Jaimee Brant (pictured below with her husband, Split owner David Patri) about all things Split, Southern Cali style, beach beauty and seeking inspiration.

Who is the Split girl?
Split girl is in college or a young professional who likes to be different. She stands out in her own unique individual way by what she wears, her attitude and her sense of adventure for life.

What does she do for fun?
She loves to shop and find a deal (She goes to the Rosebowl flea market), she enjoys music- concerts, bikes to get drinks with the girls, and she weekends in the desert—getting some sun while finishing her hand embroidery or latest creative venture.

What is she listening to-watching-obsessed with?
She is listening to “she and him”, Whitney Houston circa 1985, old Doo wop records and Gillian Welsch.

Vintage is a huge inspiration for Swim 11. Where are your favorite vintage shops in Orange county/L.A?
Personally, I love to shop online for vintage (love Ramona west and Allen co). But, I can always find something at American rag on La Brea.

In addition to the vintage prints, the cut of the pieces stands out to me as well-I love the back on the Nautical knots bikini top! It’s awesome to see such fresh detailing and I think the Split girl would really stand out in a crowd…What are your top 3 swimwear style tips?
Wear something that you are comfortable with that makes you feel good. If you feel good, people know it. Draw attention to your favorite feature. The nautical knots racer is definitely pulling attention to a hot back! Pick a suit you can move in…Swimming and sporadic dancing may come up.

I dig Split because I’m an Orange County girl myself (biased!), and understand the lifestyle. How does the local art, music, or even food scene influence your designs?
Everything influences me… The line is basically a collection of my favorite things.. It gives my favorite textures, colors, feelings a home.

After a long day of laying out (in my new Split Swim bikini of course), I have 15 minutes to get ready for a spur of the moment date. Help! What would a Split girl do in this situation?
Tease the hair and dab some essential oils to smell good. Chances are you are already looking rosy and wonderful from your day of basking in the sun, so stay minimal with the make up. Wear something easy, Especially an easy attitude .

As much as I love giving away badass stuff to you guys on It’s Unbeweavable, I’m freaking jealous of the winner of  this one.  Hello. It’s Spring, I have no Spring/Summer clothes that fit me anymore, and I’m obsessed with Shopbop.Shopbop is the first site I go to when I need a lil retail therapy, or I’m bored, or I can’t sleep, orrrr it’s Tuesday. I love how they mix established brands with more up and coming ones-Zambos & Siega being one of my current faves (dying over the Izzy Bag.) Speaking of bags, they also have an amazing Handbag Sale going on as well as a selection of clutches that blows my mind.  And let us not forget the Shopbop Designer Sale…I mean, Alice + Olivia on sale alongside my beloved Hudson’s…swoon.

Shopbop has teamed up with It’s Unbeweavable to giveaway a $100 gift certificate redeemable anywhere on their site.

To enter, just leave a comment with your name, email address and what you have your eyes on at Shopbop.com

I haven’t done a giveaway in a hot minute! I’ve been waiting for something special, and it was worth the wait.

Apothica.com is a fabulous make-up, beauty, skincare and basically anything and everything girly you could want site. They sell some of my favorite brands like Too Faced, (the Smokey Eye Palette below is one of my faves), Dermalogica, Skin-Ceuticals and Stila (I could go on, but I’ll spare you-you should check it out for yourself)

I have partnered with Apothica.com to giveaway a $50 gift card to the site…fifty bones, ya’ll. I’ve been sitting here for longer than I’d like to admit clicking around their website and imagining what I would get if I had a $50 gift card to spare-and I really can’t decide, it’s incredibly taxing. Too much stuff! Freaking paradise for a beauty product junkie! And they offer free shipping for orders of $49 or more…so you won’t have to worry your pretty heads about paying shipping-F that noise! Unfortch for me though, I’m just the messenger.

Lucky for you…well at least one of you…here’s how you can win-there’s lot’s of options.

1. Leave a comment on this post telling me what you would buy if you are the winner. (Hi, easy, do it)

I think it’s safe to say that most of us ladies are waiting impatiently for Sex and The City 2 to come out on May 27th.  I mean, Aidan is back. I.die.  Anyways, I’ve got my girls lined up and we’re already planning who’s bringing what-bubbly, bubbly and bubbly, of course.  But we don’t have to wait til then to get the party started…I’ve got you covered from coast to coast!

Next up-a giveaway for everyone!  I have a gift certificate for 2 tickets to the On Location Sex and The City Hot Spots Tour in NYC to giveaway. These tickets will NEVER EXPIRE, so you can use them the next time you’re in NYC, whenever you’re there! I’m SUPER excited about my tickets and can’t get back to NYC soon enough to take advantage!

Happy Sunday/Monday! I don’t like earthquakes, but other than that I had a fabulous weekend and I hope you did too! Note-You know you’re a born and raised Cali girl when the first thing you do during a fairly large earthquake is calmly move your water away from your MAC and then go on Twitter. While your home is still shaking (because it was the longest earthquake ever.) Seriously, I hope everyone is ok though.

On to other things rocking my world (I’m so lame)-I was introduced to Peace Love World, based out of Miami, after Peace Love World participated in Rock Media Fashion Week, sponsored by Volvo & Crest White Strips, as well as Elle Magazine. Peace Love World is a ready to wear line with a mission to spread peace, love and happiness everywhere possible and to do so in an environmentally-conscious way. The effortless designs were featured on So You Think You Can Dance, the Ellen Show and Dancing With The Stars. That’s all completely badass, but all I care about was if the line was cute or not. I DIE. Casual chic to the extreme that I just had to share with you. And by “share” I mean…let’s have a giveaway! I went on their website and picked 3 of my favorite T-shirts-perfect for running errands, the gym, the beach, and PLW generously offered to giveaway one of each. So-3 winners. Does that make sense? I think I have earthquake brain. Details below….

1. “I am Free” Slate Sheer V-Neck 2. “Love You Mean It” Jersey V-Neck (says “Mean It” on the back. So.CUTE.) 3. “Simply Happy” Sheer V-Neck (My Fav)

Le Rules-

Open to all my followers/friends/readers/stalkers on my blog or Twitter. Just leave a comment with an email address. You can tell me something nice too, if you want.

Additional entries-Follow PLW on Twitter and/or become a fan on Facebook. Leave separate comments for each, if you don’t mind. Makes my life easier

I’ll announce the THREE winners this Friday, April 9th.

I hope we all have happy week ahead, lovers! LOVE YOU MEAN IT!

I may or may not have thought it was a sex toy.

Last week I received this Hana Professional 1″ Flat Iron (and it’s pink!), along with a few other presents, courtesy of Misikko. Misikko also sells other top of the line brands of flat irons, including CHI Flat Irons, FHI Flat Irons, and the T3 Evolution Hair Dryer I have been coveting for months.  My CHI broke last week and I was not a happy girl, so I was excited to try the Hana out, but a little skeptical-my hair is my thing, and I’m very picky about the heat tools I use, my hair is in the best condition* of my life, and I plan on keeping it that way.  I tried the Hana this weekend and was totally smitten. So then I had to have a photo-shoot to show ya’ll… Duck face/signature sassy face and the Liz pout. Pretty princess hair can be straight, too!

Misikko is generously offering one of my readers the chance to win a Hana 1″ Professional Pink Flat Iron-retail value approx $250- of your very own.  It’s easy, all you need to do is follow Misikko and myself on Twitter, and leave a comment with your email address and Twitter name.  If you aren’t on Twitter, get on it, just leave your email and why you want to win this!  I’ll choose the winner at random this Friday March 26th.

*These pictures are on my Twitter and Facebook, and I’ve been asked questions about the length and how I keep it so healthy/shiny.  Really quick-I deep condition like it’s my job-I use this Rene Furterer deep conditioner 2x a week, and I don’t wash my hair everyday.  I’m a firm believer that it’s one of the worst things you can do, obviously there are exceptions if your hair is super oily, etc.  For example-I flat ironed on Saturday when I took these photos-Sunday, my hair had more texture which I love and was kind of messy and beachy, if you will…and today, it’s up in a crazy ponytail situation with a headband but the lil bit of dirtyness makes it look pretty cool.  I swear by dry shampoos-I’ve blogged about the Rene Furterer one before that I hoard because it’s always sold out.  Since I use so much heat on my hair-I ALWAYS use a heat protectant spray. ALWAYS. I actually adore this TRESemme one you can get at Target for like 5 bucks.

I have to get the business out of the way-YES, COVERGIRL generously sent me a ton of amazing products to try. NO, they did not pay me to say they are amazing. NO, they are not paying me blog about them. The thoughts, opinions, hopes and dreams expressed in this post are all mine. If you have any questions, you can always email me. Ok. Yay.
I haven’t really used CG since I was maybe 17, which we have established was kind of a while ago. When I was a teenager though, I wanted to BE Niki Taylor and she is still the first thing to pop into my mind when I think about COVERGIRL. I’m pretty sure my first powder was COVERGIRL-If I remember correctly, it was the tortoiseshell compact…do you guys remember that? So anyways, when I got an email from them asking if they could send me some products from their new collection, I of course said yes (duh. why would I say no?) but wasn’t really expecting too much. Like I wasn’t expecting I’d send mass texts to friends about how they need these products in their lives NOW. But I totally did, and they totally do, and here’s why. Giveaway details are at the bottom.

Shineblast Lipgloss-It sculpts your lips with curve-accentuating high shine and a fun flash of color. LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE.  Comparable to MAC Lipglass-super shiny but less sticky.  They sent me 2-a neutral and a bright pink and both can be worn alone or on top of lipstick.  If you’re like me, you have probably 10ish lipglosses in rotation-some at home, in your bag, car…I would def buy these-half the price of MAC and basically a third or fourth of the price of a Dior or Chanel.
LashBlast Length Mascara-For ultra long lashes that won’t flake or break during your big night out. I’m a total mascara junkie. Many g-chat/BBM convo’s have been devoted entirely to finding the perfect mascara.  I really like this one because it’s not heavy or cakey at all.  And their no flaking claim?  Totally true, and I would tell you if it wasn’t, because I hate when mascara flakes.  This is kinda random, and maybe I’m the only one who notice’s shit like this-LOVE THE YELLOW. It makes it so easy to find in my bottomless hole of a purse or make-up bag. Life is hard enough, right?



Smoky Shadowblast-A clever, two-step system for creating big bold smoky eyes with amazing results! When I opened the adorable box from CG, I immediately saw these and got rillyrilly excited.  Basically, the options are endless.  The easiest thing to do is use the light color as a base and the dark color from the lash line into the crease and hi, your eyes are done.  If you have been wanting to try a smoky eye, GET THE BLACK AND WHITE ONE.  I also love these for turning a day look into night in 2.5 seconds.  Use the dark color to line the inner rim, or the lighter one as a highlight or in the inner corner.

I didn’t want this to be a super long post too late, but they also sent me  new versions of the Clean Foundation and Pressed Powder…which now that I think about it, IS the one I used in high school.  It smells the same too-but I think it smells good, so that’s a win.  I was running low on my liquid Studio Fix the other day, so I used the foundation and I was so surprised.  I’m a major foundation snob and I think it’s the one thing worth spending a lot of cash on, after skin care.  This stuff is like $7 and gave amazing coverage, lasted all day and didn’t get all cakey and nasty at all.  The powder is pretty basic, I throw it in my bag for little touch ups during the day.

Also…The Simply Ageless Concealer-COVERGIRL and Olay’s first ever age-defying concealer visibly brightens the look of skin under the eyes for a more wide awake look. The Simply Ageless Corrector-Use in tandem with the concealer to diminish the appearance of even the most severe dark circles. I was skeptical-usually this kind of serious coverage is hard to find from a drugstore brand done correctly (in my opinion), but I think if your technique is right, these are just as good as Laura Mercier’s Secret Camo, for example…and again, 1/4 of the price.

Because I was so pleased with my re-intro of sorts to COVERGIRL, I wanted to be able to share it with you.  Or at least 3 of you!  3 of you will win 1 full size of each of the products I’ve mentioned here-so basically a full face worth of new products to play with!  Just leave me a comment and an email address!  If you re-tweet, let me know in the comments too!  I’m @Misslizzymarie.  I’ll keep this open until next Tuesday, March 9th. BESOS!

Thank you all so much for being part of my week long blog birthday party! I have one more giveaway below but first I want to say a few things…I’m happy a new year of blogging is here. I am going into this new year with a lot of the same goals and hopes that I have for 2010. I’m letting go of some things, learned a lot but I’m in a much happier and healthier place, and I know this will be reflected in my upcoming posts. If we don’t evolve or grow-as bloggers, as writers, as people…what’s the point?

However, I haven’t done a fashion or beauty post in forever, and I’m not ok with that! I’m excited to get back to the fun, I’m excited to keep on keeping on, to smile and I’m glad to know you. I have met some of the loveliest, kindest people through this blog-people who remind me what is truly important.

On that note-my friend Lauren took her pants off for Haiti. The shirt she’s modeling can be purchased here, for only $15-100% of the proceeds go to the Haiti relief effort. It’s printed on American Apparel and says “Until we are all free” I’m buying mine now.

I also want to direct you to my girl Tiffany at I am Style-ish-please check out what Tiff and her brother Billy are doing to help Haiti. Incredible.

And last but not least, check out the new website for loveharder! Over $3,000 has been raised in a week.

But now…Giveaway #5-it’s a little sentimental for me…tear, tear!

My first giveaway ever was a Ritzy Misfit. Brooke of RM and I instantly bonded and when her pendants were worn on the Bachelorette last season, I freaked out as if it was a friend I’d known forever. Somehow she balances her etsy store with a family including small children. She is a TRUE inspiration to me. Plus, I freaking LOVE my Ritzy Misfit necklaces. I kid you not, I get stopped every single time I wear one. I’m insanely proud-Ritzy Misfit continues to blow up and will be seen on the Style network and celebrities everywhere soon. Yay!!

Brooke is offering a customized Ritzy Misfit necklace with the letter/design and color of your choice…

A for…Ahhhhmazing?!! I dunno. She didn’t have a picture of one with an E or an L. So whatev. But that’s the fun part, you can get whatever you want! Your man’s initial, your dogs, a fleur de lis…and whatever color you want. I love my turquoise, I am just sayin. Although my plum is pretty rad too. Also? A proceed of each Ritzy Misfit sold goes to help Haiti…

Le Rules…As usual…

1.Open to followers of It’s Unbeweavable-however, seriously, I don’t care. This is a thank you to my readers-so just let me know how you follow in the comments.

2. Visit Ritzy Misfit…what color would you want?

3. Become a follower of ritzymisfit on twitter/re-blog/tweet this giveaway-I’m @misslizzymarie

4. Separate comments if you don’t mind, my loves

I’m going to have some fun this weekend that does not include excel or random.org, SO-enter all of the blog birthday giveaways until Sunday at 5pm PST-I’ll disable comments after that. Do it, do it.
