Happy Earth Day! Do something wonderful for your self, and the earth, not just today - but everyday! In celebration, check out this wonderful bath and body company called Khushi Spa, they use only the best (and natural!) ingredients! I love this Mommy and Baby Essential Gift Tote from Khushi Spa. It comes with gifts that can be used by both mother AND baby. This would make such a cute baby shower item! This super sweet tote comes with Lavender Spray, Peaceful Spray, Healing Balm, and Skin Elixir. It all comes wrapped up in this adorable pink tote, and retails for $54. I am putting this on my gift-giving list for a few of my friends who are expecting! Be sure to check out this really cute Travel Kit that is perfect for the jetsetter gal!

I am so thrilled to have found Shop Ashiya Online! I love their Los Angeles store, but since I don't live in California, their online shop is a great alternative. They offer brands such as CC Skye, Betsey Johnson, Kitson, Meghan Fabulous, and Voom. They have all of the prime brands and at awesome and affordable prices! I love this Betsey Johnson Loop De Loop bag pictured above, that they offer. You can buy it now for only $245! They also offer great specials in their Sale section, you can find items for over 30% off! Right now they are even offering cute tops and dresses from Meghan Fabulous for 50% off! Shop Ashiya has been a trusted name in fashion for many years in L.A. - so now is your chance to grab up some of the hottest fashions at wonderfully low prices. Enjoy! I know I am.

I was recently introduced to these amazingly tasty sweet treats from Seattle Chocolates. Chocolate inspired by and made especially for women! Chick Chocolates are portion-controlled chocolates that taste amazing.
"Women love chocolate. In fact, a study done by the Chocolate Manufacturers Association showed that of the 1,022 women surveyed, 93% of them eat chocolate regularly (and only 3% feel guilty about it).
Chick Chocolates satisfy a woman's intense sweet craving while providing a good giggle. In a stylish box reminiscent of cosmetic packaging, Chick is portable and portion-controlled, with three individually wrapped pieces in each box. Chick Chocolates are available in four fabulous flavors – Extreme Chick, Nutty Chick, Strong Chick and Survivor Chick. 100% of the profits from Survivor Chick are donated to fund research to end women’s cancers!"
Now we can eat chocolate while helping out with a fabulous cause. The flavors are so delicious too - choose from dark chocolate with cacao nibs, rich chocolate with almonds and toffee, creamy milk chocolate fortified with calcium, or white chocolate raspberry.
Now after reading about these chocolates, I know you want to try them, right? Right! Chick Chocolates has generously provided me with a motherload of chocolates to give-away - for free! If you would live your very own pack of these delish chocolates, send over an email to: gimmechocolate@scarletsletter.net. Be sure to include your Name, Age, and Mailing Address. I'll pick a bunch of lucky chicks at random to recieve the goodies. Goodluck!

Just recently I have discovered so many fun and unique Australian designers. I'm so used to American designers and brand names that are well known in the states, that's why I was ecstatic when I found this wonderful online shop called Australian Flavour. This cute store features all of the best Australian fashions from designers like Mermaid Sister, Pani, and Mr Julius. I am so addicted to this website, I spent hours browsing the dresses and jewelry on the website. You can convert their already low prices into American currency with just a click of a button, so even us shoppers in the states can shop quickly and affordably. They have a wonderful Sale going on right now, with sweet little clutch bags and delightful bikinis all for under $100 US. It's sister website, from the same creator, is called MyLookBook and it features gorgeous fashions in a quick loading and really sophisticated looking virtual "magazine". Sooo cute!

I adore Alima Pure Cosmetics, in my opinion, it's one of the best mineral makeup brands on the market. Their lipbalms, blush, and eyeshadow is so deeply pigmented, that a little goes a long way. I use their foundation also, and their colors are really silky and feel great on your skin. Right now, they are offering 20% off of mineral foundations until March 31st! The best part is, if you've never tried their products, or mineral makeup in general, you can opt to buy samples of their items for $1.50 each, rather than buying a full sized product. You can try and many products as you'd like, and once you try them, you'll definitely want to pick up the full-sized containers. This makeup is great for any skin type, even acne prone skin, or reddness of the skin or rosacea.

To celebrate the beginning of Spring (ahhh sunny weather and picnics), I simply had to tell you all about this fantastic swimwear website I recently stumbled upon. Swimwear Shop has swimsuits for women, men, and even kids. They offer one piece suits, bikinis, coverups, and cute accessories. They carry some of the hottest swimwear brands such as Elizabeth Hurley, Beach Bunny, and Colors Do Brasil. This is one of the hottest swimwear shops in Australia, and I'm so excited that I found it. The owner Debbie is friendly, professional, and will do whatever she can to make sure your order is taken care of, so you can order in confidence. They have great prices, and have a bunch of new stock on the way. I absolutely adore this Genie in a Bottle Bikini from Beach Bunny. So hot! I also really like this Seashorse Bikini they have, too cute.
Be sure to check out their Sale section to find a bunch of great deals. Such as the Candy Shop Bikini shown above, and this matching wrap. Okay, now, I'll race you to the pool!

Just recently I discovered Hope & Glorie. It hasn't been easy for me to find their items in boutiques online so far, but luckily I found a nice little selection of their dresses and tops @ Shop A-List. They have this pretty fuschia ruffle dress that is perfect for spring. This ruffled leopard print top from Sin clothing is frisky and feminine, so cute! Shop A-list also carries a nice selection of Betsey Johnson designs. Ms. Johnson has been one of my fav designers since I was a teenager.I love this teal and white cotton halter dress from Betsey's line. Right now A-List has it on sale for $195! Marked down from it's original retail price of $360. Did I mention that I love sales?

It's so vintagesexyfun. Yes, all in one. Leeza, the lovely and fabulous creator of Nitroagogo, is the nicest gal also, I'm psyched to own an accessory made by her.

Aussie designer Shelley Norman started her own designer fashion line called Pani, and it's had girls all over the world scrambling to find her designs. Most of her items are sold in Australia, making her pieces difficult to find elsewhere. Doesn't stop us froming drooling though! Pani is a collection of flirty girly dresses, tops, skirts, and more. Shelley has a knack of using just the right cuts, colors, and styles, to make each piece a work of art. Keep your eyes peeled for a new official Pani website, it's in the works and it should be up shortly. Until then, you might get lucky finding a Pani item on Ebay. I have found one, count it, one, online shop that stocks and sells Pani. Australian Flavour carries a few Pani items that are definitely worth taking a look at. I'll keep you posted in my search for Pani, and if you happen to come across any other stores or online shops that carry the line, send me on over an email to let me know. For now, enjoy the eye-candy!

That's it, I am moving to the UK! Okay...not really, but when I find all of these really gorgeous lingerie shops from the United Kingdom, I can't help but be a little tempted. Peacock and Strutt is my new favorite find on the net.

PeacockandStrutt.com offers some of the best lingerie brands from the UK, a lot of great fashion lines that those of us in the states may never have had the pleasure of knowing.

I am so in love with everything that Ayten Gasson makes. Her signature lingerie line has me gushing over her cute knickers(aka panties, for us Americans!), bras, and camisoles. Ayten also designs the Enamore lingerie line, that is not only oh-so-sexy, it's also eco-friendly and made of hemp! Don't expect to wear a potato sack though, these hemp couture pieces are silky and luxurious. Each item is made to order, so you're getting the best quality. There are even matching cuffs and eyemasks to go along with most of her lingerie sets. Definitely check out both of her lines, you'll want to buy every single piece she makes (I know I do!)
Ayten's lingerie can be found in plenty of shops in the UK, but for us Americans I say - thank goodness for the internet! You can find Ayten Gasson lingerie at Glamorous Amourous, Oyster Lingerie, and Peacock and Strutt.

OMG. OMB. These funky vibes are really buzz worthy (pun intended). OhMiBod makes fun toys that work with your ipod(or other mp3 player), or your cellphone. The vibrations of these fun toys work with the music to give you that extra va-va-voom. Just plug em' in, and their ready to use. They offer the original Oh Mi Bod as well as other variations, and also a selection of cell phone friendly vibes called BodiTalk, that are sure to jazz up your conversations...ahem. They also sell fun accessories like funky batteries. Ohhh, technology!

While browsing online a few weeks back, I found this fun and provactive company called Jimmyjane. Not only do I love the name of the shop, it's glam and slightly mysterious vibe (no pun intended), but they sell some of the most unique and cutesy personal and love items. They sell a frisky assortment of massage lotions, candles, fragrances, and vibrators. Jimmyjane makes the most posh massagers on the market, colorful, silent, and waterproof. Fun colors and playful names such as Little Something and Ultimate Members. I love the tongue-in-cheek attitude of the brand. Their items have been featured in Vogue, Elle, GQ, and Glamour.
Where can you get your hands (ahem) on these fun little darlins? You can find Jimmyjane products at select retailers in your area. Too shy to buy them in person? You can also shop their online store in the comfort of your own home at Jimmyjane.com. They retail between $125-$275. These little treats are worth every penny, but don't take my word for it...get your own, girlfriend!
Oh, and if you're feeling really indulgent...check out their Little Gold Eternity made of real gold and 28 cut round diamond stones - talk about bling for the bedroom!

I am all about international designs lately, which is why I was psyched to find this online boutique from London that sells gorgeous lingerie.

Offering brands straight from England! They carry items from Enamore, Alice & Astrid, and Kalyani. Don't worry, they also have a nifty and easy to use currency converter for us North Americans! They are even having a sensational sale right now! Check it out and feel free to lust after all of their items, I know I am!
