Coats, Jackets, and Vests!

December 2, 2011 by

Once again Old Navy has some super cute outerwear for winter! I’m loving all of these, though we only wear a coat here maybe twice during the winter…so I’d probably stick with a jacket or vest for layering.  For those of you in places that it actually snows, do you have lots of different coats you wear to change it up?  Just curious…

  2. Women’s Wool-Blend Tweed Vests
  3. Women’s Belted Wool-Blend Coats
  4. Women’s Faux-Shearling Vests

Fabulous Footwear Friday

January 14, 2011 by

It’s been a cold one down here in Houston people! (And by cold, I mean highs in the 40’s, which FORCED me to turn my heater on, which FORCED me to act like a big cold baby…) Anyway, I know that’s not cold to most of you, but while I was throwing my “it’s too damn cold pity party”, I decided to look for some cozy shoes to make me feel better. Could these not be any cuter!?!?!?! And the price made them that much more fab!

Stuff That Stocking Girly Style!

December 15, 2009 by

Here are a few ideas for stocking stuffers of the girly kind ala ak! I think this is the perfect combo of girly meets geeky meets OCD if I do say so myself. Can I get a WHAT WHAT?!

  1. Levenger, Pocquettes Zipped Earbud Pouch Keychain – This is SO cool, I mean the little thing that fits inside to keep the earbuds from tangling up–can you say OCD much?
  2. Bagel Creations Etsy Shop, Adjustable Coffee Cozy-Bright – I purchased one of these a while back for a keno gift and also bought one for myself and they are awesome and very chic!
  3. Chia’sso, Pin Up Frames – OMG you know how we feel about polaroids around these parts and I think they are just too cute to pass up.
  4. Cambria Cove, iPouch Wallet by knomo-fuschia – Something like this is perfect for a mom who is still carrying a diaper bag..you can put all important things in this and just throw it in the diaper bag when you head out.  Also, its perfect for those running out for a quick trip type of situations and you don’t want to haul the whole kitchen sink you have in your regular size purse–essentials only.
  5. JennaDesigns Etsy Shop, Travel or Pocket Tissue Holder/Cozy – Ditto in regards to keno as stated above, purchased one for myself as well.  The great thing about this is that when you are rummaging around in your purse, the bright fabric makes it easier to find.
  6. Anne Taintor, She Was One Cocktail Away From Proving His Mother Right Magnet – I can’t tell you how funny I think this is as well as everything on this site.
  7. Anthropologie, Smith’s Rosebud Salve – This stuff is fab as a lip balm, for minor cuts, for dry skin, for a mini mani and the list goes on and on.  And the smell of it is divine.
  8. Brookstone, My Life Digitial Photo Keychain – I love being able to just upload some pics and run out the door…it’s too hard to have printed pics in an envelope to show off.
  9. Crafts2Cherish Etsy Shop, Black Beret with Red Wet Felted Flower – In Houston, when it’s cold for that one day a year, this would be perfecto!
