Holy Cowl

February 9, 2011 by

A cowl neckline is somewhat of a classic that’s been around for ages, but it seems to be stepping it up to center stage because I’m spotting a cowl every which way I look. I’m a fan and being universally flattering and feminine, you should be too. Although I am not ashamed to admit that as a child when my mother said cowl neck sweater I totally thought she said cow neck sweater. I never wanted a cow neck, so I wouldn’t dare wear whatever the hell she was talking about. I’ve learned me a few things since then.

  1. Cowl Neck Sweater, Forever 21
  2. 3/4 Sleeve Cowl Top, Charlotte Russe
  3. Cowl Neck Top with Hood, Target
  4. Striped Cowl Pull Over, LOFT
  5. Cowl Neck Jersey Top, Old Navy
  6. Cowl Maternity Top, Target

Girly Stocking Stuffers

December 20, 2010 by

I definitely wouldn’t mind any of these showing up in my stocking this year!!

  1. Pinwheel Hairpins, It’s Beaded Bliss Etsy Shop-I’ve been loving on hairpins lately and I’m loving on these turquoise ones.
  2. Ped Egg, Amazon-I’ve always wanted to try this thing!!
  3. Japanese Decoration Tape, Uncommon Goods-I think this would be super cute to have when you wrap something in just brown kraft paper.
  4. Leather Keyring, Exposures-I need a new key ring and what better than to carry around a pic of the kiddo.
  5. OPI Cuticle Oil to Go, Amazon-I always leave cuticle oil in my car so I can do a mini mani at a stop light.  This would make things super easy.
  6. Round Pill Box, Target-I need a pill box to keep vitamins and tylenol in my purse.
  7. Shea Butter Lip Balm Stick, L ‘Occitane-my all time favorite lip balm.
  8. Oxo Good Grips Travel Mug, Amazon-the most amazing travel mug ever.  Never leaks, ever.  My husband generally fight over who uses this mug because we only have one.

December 15, 2010 by

I’ve been so damned good this year, I feel like Santa is making a special trip just for me.  Here’s what I hope the fat ol’ man is bringing my way!

  1. Nike Lunarsoft – totally needs these for my 5k’s that me and Melis have planned.
  2. Lucky Hoodie – cause a sporty spice can never have too many hoodies.
  3. Mounted Organizer – cause I am so over keys and envelopes just laying about.
  4. Simple Boots – I’ve had my eyes on these beauts for two years.  Santa, where the hell are you at???
  5. Jade Hoops – HOLY HELL!  These have my name all over them!
  6. Agent 18 iPhone Cover – this is me, through and through.
  7. Kenneth Cole Bangles – I’ve made a resolution to wear even more bracelets.  Help a sista out santa!

Christmas Wishlist: Der Edition

December 13, 2010 by

It’s that time again! Christmas is sneaking up on us and we tipsy gals have been pretty damn good this year if I don’t say so myself. When I sent my letter to Santa, here is what was on it:

  1. Amazon, Modern Family Season 1– I can’t sing this show’s praises enough and I totally want to own this so I can re-watch it over and over.
  2. Nordstrom, Michael Kors Chronograph Watch– I haven’t owned an actual watch of value since I couldn’t tell you when. And I know there are much more pricey pieces available, but since I’ve been out of the game for a some time… I’ll start off easy.
  3. Express, Essential Stretch Military Shirt– I am a HUGE fan of the military trend and the stretch in this top would allow room for the ladies if ya know what I mean.
  4. Etsy, Finger Print Necklace– I would love to preserve and wear my new little man’s finger print around my neck daily. It’s such a unique keepsake that I would cherish forever.
  5. Amazon, Hobo International Metallic Lauren Wallet – I adore my hobo lauren wallet that I have, but it honestly has seen better days. I really like the metallic version for my upgrade.
  6. Amazon, Raspberry Converse– Since the purchase of my very first pair of converse, I am wanting to own every color of the rainbow and these are the perfect shade of pink.
  7. Kohls, Deni Digital Stainless Steel Steamer– Steamed veggies are where it’s at in my book, so I think this is right up my alley.
  8. Timi and Leslie, Baby Jane Bag– I LOVE my current diaper bag so much, but a gal can never have too many bags, right? I love the sleekness of this bag and I would totally rock this with or without my baby.
  9. Gap, Plaid Flannel Pajamas– I have always wanted a classic set of jammies to kick it in during the winter months.
  10. Amazon, Bare Escentuals Starter Kit– I have always wanted to give this stuff a go. I have never used any type of mineral make-up before, but those infomercials sure do sell me.

Etsy Spotlight: Janine Basil

November 9, 2010 by

We just got details for my husband’s company holiday party.  The invite said wear your best FESTIVE attire….which to my husband means this (awful, and what’s worse is that if I egged him on he’d probably wear it) but to me means these fun fascinators.  LOVE THEM!  They all came from Janine Basil’s Etsy Shop.  Go check this shop out, there’s tons of cuteness!
