The Cocktail Ring. You Need One.
My new obsession is cocktail rings. You know, big, gawdy but oh so fabulous. I would wear a cocktail ring to the grocery store, not just a party. There are so many different style cocktail rings. From quartz to turquoise to diamond to, well, you get the point. I think every woman should have at least one cocktail ring. I am planning on having several. Here is my list of some fabulous cocktail rings. Oh, and before I forget, we are having a giveaway on two fabulous cocktail rings, so head over to our giveaways section now!!! Juicy Couture 'turquoise ...
Newly Vintage
I'm loving the vintage trend. It's not just pretty, it shouts romantic! It's really ornate when it comes to the design, something we don't see that often (I love it!). You can dress it up or down. Love the look of a vintage top with jeans. Pairing a long sleeve tee with a vintage ruffle skirt looks fabulous. Here are some of my favorite vintage pieces... Classic Cardy Crochet $140 (ugg.com) Debonair Doily Top $98 (anthropologie.com) Cheyenne Shirt $39.50 (delias.com) Haven Striped Dress $138 (marchiano.com) Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Strapless Lace Dress with Bow $178 (nordstrom.com) Premium Vintage Lace Skirt $90 (topshop.com) Betsey Johnson Leopard Heart Earrings ...
Bright Clothes, Big Color
I have to admit, I love wearing black clothes in the Fall and Winter. To me, black is chic, classic and always looks good, but after seeing all these hot bright colors for Spring, I am dying to go shopping. I can't wait to get my hands on some hot pink flats and a new bright messenger bag (they're so in right now). The fun with this trend is that it is just happy colors. Aqua, coral, geranium and spearmint to name a few. You can get them at any price. I've found clothes, bags and accessories from Saks to ...
Blue Is Beautiful
Ahh, the color blue. The sky, the ocean, Daniel Craig's eyes.. oh sorry, anyway... The color blue is so very in. So many hot items out there right now ready to be picked up for Spring.

Rain, Rain Come and Stay!
Yes, I said rain, rain come and stay and snow for that matter. I am in love with all the fabulous rain boots out there. I especially love the Hunter 'original' rain boot. Andrea and I (the wonderful ladies who run this website) both bought a pair tonight. They are perfect for rainy weather and with a fleece liner you can purchase separately, they are now perfect for snow. I researched lots of different boots before I made my decision. There were tall boots, short boots, zebra print, striped, buckled and studded. The best thing about rain boots is ...
Animal Print Mania
If I haven't mentioned before, I LOVE ANIMAL PRINTS. Anything animal print. Belts, bags, shoes, coats, shall I go on? I think you get the point. I've loved animal prints for as long as I can remember. I made my mom buy me a leopard print dress for the first day of fourth grade. I just love it. My two little girls? Yes, I buy them lots of animal prints. They love it too. Pants, shirts, headbands. They call them "baby jaguar" prints. Animal prints never seem to go out of style. Here are some of my favorite animal ...
Go Nude
Yes, I said GO NUDE. Everyone is doing it. Nude colored clothing. You didn’t think I was talking about something else did you? Anyway....It’s the new hot thing. Dresses, shirts, shoes and accessories. I actually love nude colors. There are many different tones to nude. Go lighter or darker, either way it’s hot. Many people are a little hesitant to wear the nude, but trust me, there are some beautiful pieces out there that everyone can feel comfortable wearing. Below are a few ideas... RSVP ‘Ivana’ heel $89 (zappos.com) Crackled jewel bracelet $8.80 (forever21.com) Marciano ‘krista’ $139 (marciano.com) Ann Taylor Loft ‘chiffon rose’ cardigan ...
Support Breast Cancer Research with Makeup
As you may or may not know, breast cancer research and breast cancer awareness I hold very close to my heart. My mom past away from it two years ago and I am determined to make sure everyone becomes aware of this awful disease. We all can do monthly self exams and get our annual mammograms. We can also support breast cancer research by purchasing products that most or all of the proceeds go to the research of breast cancer. So many companies support this cause, from Tory Burch to Avon to OPI nail polish. Some things are more expensive ...

Nail It This Winter
Ugh.. winter hands. Dry, cracked, peeling.. did I mention dry. Yes, you all know what I’m talking about especially this year. You try to keep them moisturized but every other minute you have to wash them or sanitize them, which dries them out even more. My nails are dry around the edges and my cuticles are rough. I’ve accepted the fact that I have to wash them every ten minutes, especially with kids, but I will not accept the fact that they have to look dry and let’s admit it, disgusting. Here is a little routine I do to ...
