Balmain Clearance - The Outnet

Embellished velvet tuxedo jacket by Balmain

Are you checking out the Balmain clearance over at The Outnet?
I don't know about you guys, but I am a HUGE Balmain fan.  If you look for construction and edge, Balmain is worth your attention.  Their designs are nothing less than cool.  Military flare, constructed interest, and intricate details make these pieces more than clothes, they are statements.
But be quick!  There are selling out fast!

Here are SOME(because there is simply not enough room for all) of my favorites:

Beauty Product of Note - Apple Cider Vinegar


Yes, seriously.
Browsing the web, do you ever feel like you are constantly seeing posts on blogs or Pinterest about home beauty tricks?  I sure do, and usually ignore them.  However, this one caught my eye for some reason.  It was so simple that I decided to try it out.

1 part vinegar/3 parts water
Follow the easy instructions from the link.

Let's just say... Wow.  It actually does what it says it will do.  I was kind of surprised, to be honest.  But I'm so glad I tried it.
If you struggle with spots now and then, this is worth trying.  See how it works for you.
Personally, I am just sad I hadn't found this sooner.

*Must be able to stand the smell of vinegar.
*It may dry out your skin so don't skimp on the moisturizer.

What tricks or tips have you tried?

Monday Must-Lust List 1/28/13

This week(more than usual) I am completely in the Pacific Northwest frame of mind.  As I am a PNW-erner(Washington state, to be exact...ish), the diverse area inspires and influences so much of who I am.  I have decided this is going to become a consistent theme of the blog.  I will probably do a post on it, as it is such a big part of my life and who I am.  But, as for today, it will stand as the first (kind of)themed Monday Must-Lust List(sorry it is so dreery this week).  Hope you enjoy!

Happy New Year!!! *update*

Wow, 2013!  It's here already!  Do the years each zoom by, one faster than the last, for anyone else?

This past year was quite hectic and crazy.  The coming year is sure to follow suit.  That being said, I am hopeful that Aesthetic Intrigue will thrive and grow into something solid that you will enjoy.  I have some ideas and am excited to really delve in and see how this develops.  Fashion and style is ever evolving and growing.  I am happy to be able to share mine with you.
I've been toying with the idea of personal picture posts.  The idea is a bit intimidating but if it comes as something that will fit, it may be worth trying.  Is that something you would be interested in?
(Let's get a profile pic up for starters!)

I am sorry for the lack of posts.  This blog is very new and, as it was, started right before a very chaotic time.  However, a solid foundation is forming(if only in my mind) and there is much more to come.
I will be gone for a few days, which may mean more delay.  However, it won't last forever and I hope you are here when I get back!

There are so many things to come this year.  I am excited beyond belief, both for the expected and the unexpected(which there always seems to be plenty of).

Well, I just wanted to stop in and say 'I'm still here!'  Ha ha.  I hope that you all had a beautiful New Year's Eve.  I stayed home for a quiet celebration with my beautiful husband.  It was pretty darn perfect.

Did you enjoy the last moments of 2012?  How did you welcome 2013?
What are you looking forward to for the coming year?
