Pretty Things at Every Price: Totes

July 14, 2010 by

This is our final PTAEP for purses. We’ve covered crossbodies, clutches, hobos, and now we’re on to totes!

  1. Der:  Rose Dome Handbag,I am carrying a similar version of this bag RIGHT NOW in royal blue and love it to pieces. It’s such a WOW accessory for low cost. It livens up the simplest tee or tank just hangin there on your arm.
  2. Court: Slouchy Bag, This was the hardest price point for me thus far as the size of this purse is entering a no-can-do boundary.  My tipsy sista’s can easily pull a bag of this size off, but not me.  HOWEVER, I wasn’t shocked when a super cute seller on Etsy came through.  I would wear this, if I ever needed room to shove Aus, two friends, a bottle of booze and a bicycle in it :).  Other pluses are its handmade and CHINA CHINA!!!
  3. AK: Amazon Boutique Tote, I love how sleek this looks and of course I had to go for something BRIGHT in color!
  4. Sarah: Paper Croc-Embossed Tote, What can I say? I’m a sucker for a cute straw bag!

Happy Birthday Court!!

July 8, 2010 by

Today is a very special day… 30 years ago today bebe Court came into this world and planet Earth became a lot more fun and a lot louder (a trait of Court that you readers aren’t able to experience). We Tipsy gals would like for all of you to help us in wishing our best buddy Happy 30th and lots of luck on her upcoming trip to Vegas BABY!

Court: We are so thankful for your crazy hair, even crazier sense of humor, and for the many unforgettable good times…. and for the good times we may not remember. You are truly an amazing friend and the life of our party.

Love you!

Der, AK, and Sarah

Pretty Things at Every Price: Hobos

July 7, 2010 by

Our first PTAEP was on crossbodies and then we did clutches, both of which are definitely Court’s go-to size of a bag.  The rest of us on the other hand need a hobo or bigger in some cases.  So here’s our take on the hobo bag at a price you can afford!!

  1. Der’s ($12.97) Vinyl Ruffle Handbag– Y’all know how I feel about a ruffle. This is a definitely right up my alley.
  2. Court’s ($24.50) Faux Leather Zip Hobo-Think that it could be a goto bag for any outfit.  I will tell you though, I am completely out of my realm with these HUGE ASS bags!
  3. AK’s ($32.90) Blue Hobo with Studs-LOVE LOVE LOVE this color.  It’s always great to find a colorful bag for a good price.
  4. Sarah’s ($49.99) Nine West Cayla Hobo-I, for one, think you can never have too many white bags. I’ve actually seen this one in person and it’s one of those perfect whites that will last you through early fall!

July 1, 2010 by

Last week was crossbodies…this week is clutches.  Cute clutches at any price!

  1. Der’s ($8) Wristlet Zipper Pouch-This is colorful (which we know I LOVE) and one of a kind. For less than $10, you can liven up  your basic tee or LBD!

  3. Sarah’s ($35) SR Squared by Sondra Roberts Raffia Clutch-I love that this clutch has a nice, summery, and casual look! (I mean, if you’re anything like me, you’re currently OVER carrying an over-sized satchel everyday…)
  4. AK’s ($49) Shiraleah Tyrell fold clutch bag-I love the Shiraleah line of bags…they are super cheap, vegan and come in great colors.  I like how this one folds over.

Happy Birthday AK!

June 30, 2010 by

Please join us in wishing AK, our Tipsy Maven, a VERY Happy Birthday! Here are a few of our favorite memories over the past few years, along with some good ones of her and the hubby…

AK, we would like to thank your Mom for you being born, without which we would know significantly less about turquoise jewelry, cupcakes, and your all too fabulous eclectic style…you’re a great friend that we all count on, lean on, and trust…here’s to you on your special day!

Love,

Der, Court, and Sarah

PS. Please don’t geek out too much while choosing to watch the new Twilight movie in 3D for the celebration of your birth! 🙂

The Tipsy Wedding Project: Special Touches

June 23, 2010 by

We’ve all got a few ideas of things for Christen’s wedding that we couldn’t quite categorize, so we are just going to call them “special touches”.

  1. Der-This is something I WISH I would have done at my wedding! So easy.. just find two seconds (easier said than done) in your busy reception time hold the sign saying Thank You and voila! Turn it into super adorable thank you cards for all those wedding gifts that you rake in!
  2. AK-I wish I had done this at my wedding…Too cute to have an ampersand hanging from the Bride & Groom’s chairs. I think I would have done the ampersand at my wedding covered in Zinnias. Christen could do hers in moss or maybe orange mum flowers. So pretty!
  3. Sarah-After the reception is over, the getaway makes for a great photo-op. My sister used sparklers at her late September wedding and the pictures turned out to be some of the best from the entire day…they are inexpensive and a great way to end a fabulous day!
  4. Court-I love the personal touch of having guests sign a picture frame or plate, something the couple can keep and cherish for their lifetime. Most people I know that have done this have this out and part of their decor in their house. Its such a cute reminder of that special day.

Pretty Things at Every Price: Crossbody Bags

June 23, 2010 by

The Tipsy gals are up for another challenge.  We are on the hunt for that perfect crossbody (something that is very near and dear to my heart), but with each gal in a diff price range.

  1. Der’s ($14.94) Poppie Jones Fashion Crossbody Bag –  such a fun color and UNBELIEVABLE price! Perfect for a date night or girls night out when you don’t wanna be lugging around some hefty satchel.
  2. Court’s (29.99) Libby Edelman Woven Detail Convertible Crossbody Bag – love this throwback/hippie-ish look.  Love the price and of course love that its on the smaller side. The woven details and color make this look really unique.
  3. AK’s ($36.00) Croft & Borrow Crossbody – Pewter! I love this color, it goes with EVERYTHING! I can see this number helping me out considerably during our annual Round Top extravaganza.
  4. Sarah’s ($48.00) Steve Madden Bluvsic Crossbody– I’m loving the dressiness of this bag…it’s like sporty “glam” spice! (I also agree with AK that pewter is the WAY TO GO in the bag department…)

There you have it.  We’ll be up for more of these price challenges, so stay tuned or let us know what you want us to find on your budget!

Tipsy Wedding Project: Favors

June 16, 2010 by

1. Sarah-I got an idea off theknot.com to put a few donut holes in each take out box…VERY unique and budget-friendly!

2. AK-Fall colors! Also I love the idea of finding seeds of flowers you are using in your bouquets and allowing everyone to plant the flowers from your big day.  Then every time they bloom, your guests will remember your big day!

3. Court-I LOVE this idea (and wine–have I said that 85 times before?) Cute, fall themed, usable by most, etc.

4. Der-I did cookie favors in our wedding colors with our last initial on them and they were quite the hit. The taste testing part is pretty much awesome too. You can either have them at each place setting or do a pass out situation when guests are leaving.
