You Tell Us: Magzilla's 'Welcome Home Hubby' Attire

Magzilla writes: Alright gals. The time has finally come that a certain Outblush husband returns home from his "year long business trip". When I pick him up at the air field, I want to look my hottest. And in this relationship, that means comfortable and accessible. Yeah, I said it: accessible. Style context is as follows: 1) I have pink bangs and very visible tattoos that I like to showcase, 2) it may be 2:30 in the freaking morning when his flight comes in, 3) I have a nursing baby who will need access to my milk cans, 4) He specifically asked I wear a skirt so suggestions otherwise will probably just be ignored. I have assembled three outfits and am stuck deciding which will be most "Oh hell yes, THAT is my wife" worthy. Help a sistah out!

VOLCOM Frochikie Laced Shorts

Get a head start on your warm weather wardrobe by investing in something short and lacy, like the VOLCOM Frochikie Laced Shorts ($49). We're thinking you can even get away with wearing these before the temps climb higher than sixty degrees. Just add a billowy long-sleeved blouse, a pair of black tights, and some oxfords and you'll look like a breath of fresh air, even in February!

Melissa & Doug Shape Sorting Clock

We're all about enriching our little ones' minds and educating them properly. And we're always on the hunt for fun learning toys that they will love. The Melissa & Doug Shape Sorting Clock ($15) teaches numbers, shapes and how to tell time. Cupid is definitely leaving this toy under our tree of hearts next week.

Miron Lior Conceal Shelf

We've always loved the look of floating book shelves and even read a lengthy DIY tutorial on how to create our own. Unfortunately, our laziness got the best of us and we never got around to tackling the project. Procrastination paid off, because we've now found the Miron Lior Conceal Shelf ($13-15)! For under twenty bucks, we can use the metal piece to effortlessly achieve our floating book shelf without all the trial and error of home carpentry. That's a win-win in our books! (Pun!)

MAC Packed To Go Palette

The MAC Packed To Go Palette ($38) is an necessity for the girl who likes her lips to be irresistibly smooth and colorful. This palette is packed with four amazing lip shades including Rosehips, Quick Change, Riviera Ready and Poetic License. We watched The Bachelor last night, and we can't help it, but we're repulsed by model girl. Maybe ABC should give Courtney Robertson a lifetime supply of this palette so she can stop doing that annoying thing with her mouth and lips.

Kate Spade New York Just For The Fun Of It Idiom Bangle

It's okay...we won't think any less of you if want to call in sick on a gorgeous spring day. Just make sure you rock the Kate Spade New York Just For The Fun Of It Idiom Bangle ($88) when you hit the beach that day.

Citizens of Humanity Mandy Floral Print Jeans

Flirty, feminine and fab-fitting jeans are just what we're looking to add to our spring wardrobe! We're in love with the Citizens of Humanity Mandy Floral Print Jeans ($189) - so dear Valentine, please pick up a pair for us.

Tom's Classic Valentine Shoe

Not the "get all fancy-shmancy for Valentine's Day" type of girl? Meh, some years we can take it or leave it, too. But we're ultimately romantics at heart and don't mind paying homage to cupid on Feb. 14. This year we'll go casual with our favorite pair of jeans and a pair of Tom's Classic Valentine Shoes ($54). They're too cute to pass up and won't make us look like we're trying too hard on the sappiest day of the year.

Bliss Thigh-Namic Duo

We're finally getting our bodies back thanks to a change in our diet and constant cardio, but we'll take all the help we can get. Banish fat cells with the Bliss Thigh-Namic Duo ($36 on sale). The duo includes one of our favorite products - fatgirlslim - as well as a slimulator.

Old Navy Belted Cap-Sleeve Dress

The color of this Old Navy Belted Cap-Sleeve Dress ($25) is called "Bee in a Bonnet" and while we're usually wary of wearing yellow, we're totally willing to give it a shot this time. We're not too concerned it'll make us look like a bumble bee, since the stripes alternate between horizontal and diagonal, and, you know, don't contain any black (or insect wings for that matter!). We think we'll colorblock this dress and wear it with a pair of bright teal or magenta flats.

Big Love Colossal Fortune Cookie

Valentine or not, you can still have a great Valentine's Day when you take matters into your own hands. Treat yourself to the Big Love Colossal Fortune Cookie ($35) whether you'll be solo or with someone special

Mockingjay Hunger Games Pin

We're just dying here waiting for The Hunger Games to hit theaters on March 23rd. We've read the trilogy countless times and when we saw this Mockingjay Hunger Games Pin ($30) by The Bird & The Bee, we had to nab one to wear on our tote bags. Nothing says nerd more than sporting a pin from a young adult lit trilogy out in public, but we're not embarrassed. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Cheap Thrill: ULTA Eyeliner Brush

We think ULTA is underrated. On top of selling quality beauty products from other companies, they also sell their own line. And for a lot less. Take, for example, this ULTA Eyeliner Brush. Synthetic fibers (read: not animal hair) packed at the perfect angle for gel liner, eyeshadow and cream shadow application will only cost you $8. And if you buy two brushes right now, you get two more free. You'll never be without your ULTA brushes again!

What's a Cheap Thrill? Just our shameless way of getting you to impulse buy! Cheap Thrill items are under $20, including shipping.

Diptyque Roses Mini Pink Candle

Sure, we'd be thrilled to receive a dozen roses on the 14th. And then, on the 19th, when all those roses are dead, we'll toss 'em and move on with our life. However, if our certain someone was to give us something that might last a little longer - like this Diptyque Roses Mini Pink Candle ($32) - we'll have a longer time frame in which to be appreciative of our gift and our man! (Trust us, guys, you want to stay in our good graces as long as possible!)

Gilmore2 Metallic Toecap Points

Nude shoes should be a staple in every woman's closet. If you already have a great pair of nude pumps, you can always use another, right? Especially if they have shiny captoes like the Gilmore2 Metallic Toecap Points ($120).

Trish McEvoy No. 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk Hand and Body Cream

Date night. Hot new potential boyfriend. Corner booth in new French bistro uptown. Lights are low and the candle sets a romantic mood. He leans over to whisper in your ear that he's looking forward to dessert at home but instead compliments you on how delicious you smell. Good thing you rubbed a little Trish McEvoy No. 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk Hand and Body Cream ($58) on your collarbones before leaving the house. Otherwise he might think dessert was actually in the freezer.

Alice and Olivia Lass Mini Dress

If you're worried that colorblocked dresses wouldn't flatter your curves, the Alice and Olivia Lass Mini Dress ($330) is a great way to incorporate the trend in a cheating kind of way. The dress itself is very flattering, and the lemon yellow belt adds a welcome pop of color that will divert attention to your waist.

Doctor Who Lidded TARDIS Mug

Who, us? Doctor Who nerds? Never! Okay, so we've sat riveted by every episode. At least we're in good company! Doctor Who fans are a-plenty these days and we love seeing the merchandise pop up everywhere. We're currently swooning over the Lidded TARDIS Mug ($23). What era do you think our coffee will travel to when we pour it in and put on the lid?

AHAVA Lavender Mineral Bath Salt

All this Valentine's Day fodder is starting to get to our lonely hearts. We'd really love to spend the 14th splitting a bottle of wine, a nice filet mignon with a roasted mushroom sauce, and possibly some Vanilla Bean Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches. But instead we'll be drinking that bottle all by ourselves, eating the entire filet mignon (possibly without knife and fork) and soaking for at least an hour in the tub with AHAVA Lavender Mineral Bath Salt ($22). All this single stress is starting to get to us and nothing helps calms a lonely heart like a lavender bath. And Vanilla Bean Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Kidrobot Pop Blindbox Figures

We don't think there's much of a point to these Kidrobot Pop Blindbox Figures ($8 for 2). They don't really DO anything. But all the same, they're darn cute figurines. We can arrange them on a shelf, gift them to our pre-teen nieces, or bring them into the office for some desk decor. Wait, look at that! We've already found three uses for these adorbs balloon animals. We can justify anything!

Magicsuit Goddess One Piece

Who couldn't use a little help in the tummy area, right? The Magicsuit Goddess One Piece ($162) is definitely on our must-have list because it camouflages a multitude of sins (thanks to their exclusive Magictex fabric) while making sure we look fabulous and on trend.

Large Gardener's Supply Cart

Lugging your gardening supplies through the backyard is much easier when you have a little help from a friend or the Large Gardener's Supply Cart ($299). This cart can hold as much as five hundred pounds. That's a whole lot of soil, seeds and flowers!

The New Black 'I Heart You' Nail Polish Set

Who needs roses for Valentine's when you can have the I Heart You nail polish set from The New Black ($14) instead? This is the perfect collection if you want to test out ombre nails or maybe even try free-handing some heart designs. They might not smell as great as a bouquet of flowers, but they will last much longer!

J.Crew Café Capri

We're pretty wild about wearing cropped pants once the weather starts to thaw. Though we may get our capri kicks sooner with the J.Crew Café Capris ($118). They're wool, so our legs won't freeze like they would in lighter fabrics. There's still the issue of ankle cleavage in chilly temps, but we're always willing to suffer a bit for fashion!

X and O S'mores

Hugs and kisses filled with marshmallow and dipped in chocolate would be the perfect Valentine's gift, so if you're buying...yes, we'll gladly be your sweetie!

X and O S'mores ($25)

Stephanie Johnson Palm Desert Laura Cosmetic Case

Do you love animal prints? How about this season's hottest color, orange? Are you a fan of bags (don't lie to yourself, you are)? The Stephanie Johnson Palm Desert Laura Cosmetic Case ($38) combines all three of your favorite things into one. The only thing that would round out this masterpiece of trend would be the addition of Ryan Gosling, an iPad and perhaps a coordinating set of cosmetic brushes.

Weekly Purse Page Lookalike Poll: February 6, 2012

The bags in the Shopping List poll over at The Purse Page this week almost seem like they should be thought of in terms of flavors, not colors. Let's see. We have cherry, strawberry, hazelnut, lime, bubble gum, and blue. (Sure blue is a flavor. We remember when blue became a flavor.) Vote for the one you'd carry if it were cheaper, and look here for lookalikes next week!

We Need Help. (That may have come out wrong.)

Darlings, we are lonely. We need to be entertained. We are looking for companionship.

We are looking for a new Outblush editor.

If you think that could and should be you, email us! If you think it could and should be one of your friends, make her (nah, it doesn't have to be a her) email us! If you are trying to sell us knockoff pharmaceuticals or mail-order brides, do not email us. Unless one of those brides can write and shop like a champ.

Magzilla here: When I'm not busy eating my way to the bottom of a ginger candy bag, I'm tweezing my eyebrows. I prefer the hard core body modification scene but can also appreciate a ruffle or bow when I see one. Beauty and barrels of maternity/kid crap are my specialties. When you need help finding the right shade of eyeliner to match that new shade of "I haven't slept in days" tint your skin gets after a baby or four, call on me. Loudly.

John Masters Organics Lavender & Avocado Intensive Conditioner

We're big fans of John Masters Organics products, and their Lavender & Avocado Intensive Conditioner ($22) is no exception. It's thick and creamy and smells naturally perfumed without being too cloying. Because lavender is a calming herb, the oil in the conditioner not only moisturize our hair, but help us relax at the end of a long and busy day. And afterwards, we sleep well knowing we're treating our locks with all natural, health-promoting ingredients!
