The must have bag for FAll 2011!!!

I am in love with this FAB bag that I purchased from Shoedazzle!! I actually got it in the red color and purchased the Colombia bag in the camel. The bag is great for the fashionista that likes to carry it all! There are numerous spots for your keys, makeup, cell phone, papers, etc. You will look stylist with this on your arm, and the best part.....you look like a million bucks but only if they knew you spent 40 bucks!! The pop color red goes good with just about anything, and even though I am petite in size I can still rock this bag with jeans as well as a suit. I would recommend this bag to the fashionista on the go as well as the stylista that owns the room when she walks into it.

Have you checked your closet and made sure your sweaters and boots are in good condition? What about your outer wear- jackets, capes, coats, cardigans how are they holding up? It's tax free in Texas this weekend and ALL of my favorite places are having blow out sales. What should I have in my closet you ask? Easy - Some GRRREAT dark denim jeans, a fab wrap cardigan, and some killer boots, and that's just for starters. This fab outfit comes from one my shops Boston Proper. The Jeans are wide leg which is huge this fall and the wrap has RICH colors in the plum family in it which are also huge for Fall. Feathers and Faux fur (Love the Animals, don't wear them), military cut, and color blocking are all making a statement this Fall. Brights are still on point but for the Fall we will call them RICH....Smile! So dig in your closet and pull out those wide leg trousers boho is going to be big this Fall as well!! Happy Shopping!!

Happy 4th!! What to wear to that Bar-B-Que....Got Ya Covered!!

So its that time again! Hot as Haiti and we want to party outside? But what is a girl to do to stay trendy and cool at the same time? Invest in some great Summer pieces of course, items that will last you from Summer to Summer! This includes jeans, maxi dresses, cover ups, tee's and shorts. These items are staples that every true fashionista should have in her closet. There are many different sites that you can go to that have these pieces at affordable and down right scary prices. I personally have been burning up Target! They have found a great cult following for their affordable designer pieces! They have cover ups as low as 16 bucks! Tee's around 8 and jeans for 20-30 bucks. check them out at http://www.target.com/ . You can also get everything else you need to make your party success, think of it as one stop shopping!!! Do not forget to get your KILLER shades from their accessories department! HAPPY SUMMER!!!

What to get the Man in your life for Father's Day!!

So Father's day is around the corner and you still need help finding something? I got some great finds for you!! Leave the tie at the store folks. Dads in 2011 are high tech and gadget crazy!! Give him something that he can use just for him. Passes to a driving range, shooting range or golf range are tops on the list that are not high tech driven.  If you listen to your father he has been dropping clues since last year. Remember he told you his clubs were damaged the last time he went golfing? Or he heard about a new Steak House? That was your cue!! Check out the site below for some cool finds and think outside the box....dad can only take so many ties and money clips! Do something different and savvy!!!

The above item is a all in one golf kit!! It has everything but the clubs and green!! Find this and other great Dad's day gifts at www.gifts.com/fathers-day/top-picks

Search Amazon.com for dad gifts

Perfect Summer Work Tote!!!

This great bag is from White House Black Market and is a Fashionista's dream!! You can carry all your fab items for work or play in it!! It is part of their Summer Work Kit. Check out their site http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/ for other great finds. You all know that they are one of my fav's shops and this is a must in any true fashionista's closet. Its Summer and Savvy all in one! Love the handles and texture, get this in you closet!!

The Perfect Summer Heel!!

Hey Folks did you all miss me? Sorry my health is slowly getting back to 100% and I am back online!! Yea! I wanted to open this Summer Season up..(Yea I Know Summer is not official until June 21) with this fab shoe that I got from Ideeli ( Love the site check them out at www.ideeli.com ). I rocked these babies on campus yesterday and I got soooo many compliments. They are by the ever so hip Betsy Johnson. She is known for making all things fun, girlie, and fab! I did not have a pair of royal blue shoes so I figured why not!! I received them and could not take them off!!! You can get them in many colors on endless.com. They are no longer on Ideeli. I was surprised how comfortable they were and that I had them on from 8-5 PM!! My ballet days are paying off!! So if you get a chance order these babies, they look great dressed up for a wedding or with a great pencil skirt and blue top!

Hard to find great customer service does exist!!! Thx Ideeli for restoring my faith!!

I get packages on the regular and they all seem to be damaged when they arrive at my house! Well enough is enough MR. UPS man, even my neighbor has had trouble with their packages! So I recently order 3 dresses from Ideeli and they all arrived in boxes that had been attached by wolves and dump trunks. After posting on Twitter how PO'd I was Ideeli customer service tweet me back directly right away. Even though it was clearly UPS that did the damage, Ideeli was more then happy to assist me with getting to the bottom of the problem. Luckily just the boxes were damaged and not the merchandise :) Thanks again Ideeli for stepping up and offering assistance! That is what makes Fashionistas continue to shop your FAB site!! Outstanding customer service is sooooooooooooo hard to fine these days even for the most simple things. For the record I still have not heard from UPS...........

I Love Janie ....New Spring bag is HOT!!!!

You guessed it fashionistas I am talking about Janie Bryant the FAB designer for Mad Men. She has been partnering with QVC on some fab clothing items and accessories over the past year. This Spring she has kicked it up a notch with this Ostrich bag OMG I got mine and let me tell you ...it is HOTNESS!! the detailing is to die for, great craftsmanship, outside pockets on both sides for phone and keys and not to mention it is extra roomy in the inside....I purchased the butter scotch pictured above. Better half said I should have waited to Christmas :( . O and for all my Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Sisters out there, it comes with our lovable mascot - Toy poodle hanging on a key chain on the side. The bag also comes shipped in a great cloth cleaning bag for storage. Love it. Handles are sturdy and roomy....Fashionistas get yours while you can  ...I want another one in black now!!!

Let's do Vintage for Spring!!!!

So Spring is here and the weather is clearing up...yea!! Now it's time to A. Clean out your closet and B. Replace old items with new ones!!! Vintage clothing is all the rage right now. A lot of ladies are looking for classic pieces including bags. Less we not forget that the local thift shop has some FAB fines as well. On a good day you can find Coach and Hermes' at the downtown Goodwill...YES.... I kid not!!! Three local boutiques have great finds as well.

Shop and play hard!!! Smoochies and remember to save money by shopping at sites like Ideeli and Zappos as well as Overstock.

Who says you can not shop while sick?

I was all over the place this past week end. I was on Ideeli, Overstock, Zappos and Newport News and made purchases from them all. So far Zappos and Overstock orders have already arrived. Overstock actually put each one of my dresses on their own hangers :) and Zappos shipped my order for FREE and it arrived literally like a day after I ordered it! I have been under the weather for the past two weeks and the internet has been my best friend! Thx to you all for the FAB finds!! Check out these sites for great deals....O did I mention that I am now a Zappos VIP member? Yea!!!!
