Elle Jule necklace Giveaway!

2008-07-04T09:57:00.000-07:00

I am the biggest fan of unique jewelry. You'll never see me in Tiffany's unless it was a gift from someone else... and even then I'm only going to wear it when I see the person who gave me the gift.

I love unique jewelry. I love the attention, the compliments, the conversation from the pieces of jewelry I've been able to show off. For this reason I only wear unknown or up & coming designers.

I'm very excited and hopeful I'll win the Nienna necklace from Elle Jule. For your chance, click on any of the links in this blog post.

Angela Johnson is an up and coming designer with amazing talent. I have donated a bajillion t-shirts to charity that I now wish I had kept. She can make party dresses, corsets, ball gowns, skirts, etc.

If you're not quite sold, she can custom design almost anythingn for you. I just saw a totally indie/hippie wedding dress that she did. And for everything that I've seen, I must say it is all reasonable priced.

Three Times a Lady Print

2008-04-21T14:54:00.001-07:00

Photography is my favorite kind of art. When I took a photography course in high school, I focused on black and white, taking pictures of people.

I wanted to create a story, and I think I captured a fantastic shot of 2 friends who were dating each other at the time. They shared a milkshake and stared into each other's eyes while sipping it. I never took quite as good a picture again.

I wish I had the eye for photography, but I think I'm more the lucky shot type. Jennifer Squires on the other hand can capture quite the moment. I am impressed with her prints that I saw on her etsy site.

This Three Times a Lady print actually captured my eye with its beauty and my mind with the clever title. I might have to order it as soon as I can figure out where to hang it.

Sequins Explosion

2008-03-07T18:27:00.000-08:00

One of my friends commented that she knows I'll love an item as long as it is sparkly, shiny and/or furry. I didn't argue with her.

When I saw this Alice + Olivia dress months ago, I wanted it so badly. It's sequins galore in a fun, checkered pattern of blue and black. It was also over $400, and in my permanent state of recession I couldn't make the purchase.

The other day when I was randomly watching Deal or No Deal, (I hate the show yet I can't change the channel for some reason) I told my boyfriend how much I loved the dress that the ladies were wearing. He said he would buy it for me.

I perked up and immediately went online in search of that dress or something similar. I found a fantastic magenta dress by Alice + Olivia on shopbop on sale, but unfortunately they were out of that color in my size. I continued online browsing for fun anyways when I came upon the checkered dress for the incredible sale price of $130.

Can you believe it???

I couldn't... but get this... I found a coupon code for an additional 20% off.

This beauty is on it's way to me as I write this. I cannot wait!

Denim Lingerie

2008-01-24T17:58:00.000-08:00

Ok not really because that would probably be incredibly uncomfortable. Imagine having to break your underwear in after every wash.

What I really meant was the lingerie influence on Ricky's winning denim design for Levi. I LOVE IT. I was super excited too when I found out that it would be available to purchase after the show aired on the west coast.

Too bad I'm on the east coast. I fell asleep and woke up to find out that the dress had sold out. I'm devastated, but alas I guess it wasn't meant to be.

In the meantime, I will be searching for Ricky's boutique with hopes that he will make it again!

Santa LOVED me this year

2007-12-31T13:11:00.000-08:00

It is no secret amongst anyone who knows me. I LOVE Burberry. I wear Burberry perfume. I have Burberry galoshes. I have Burberry sandals. I buy Burberry gifts for other people.

This year I bought my boyfriend an awesome Burberry tie. I saw the grey version on Saks, but they didn't have any left. I opted for the brown version without a clear picture. I had it pre-wrapped, so even when I got it in the mail I didn't have a chance to take a look at it.

When my boyfriend opened it, he loved it. Heck I loved it. It was a gorgeous tie.

Then he handed me my gift. I wasn't surprised to see the Burberry bag, but I was surprised at how BIG the box was. I opened it up and nearly died. He bought me the gorgeous winter coat you see in the above picture in WHITE.

I secretly had been dying for a white, down-feather winter coat. When I told him this, he joked that he knew it. It fits beautifully. It looks amazing on me. Although I'm not interested in more snow this winter, I really won't mind the cold this year.

Happy New Year everyone!

But I JUST put it in my shopping bag!!!

2007-12-04T20:04:00.001-08:00

Ok let me tell you what ticks me off about the online shopping I've done as of late. Things appear to be available, but suddenly they're NOT!

It's frustrating, but moreso... devastating.

Neiman Marcus is having the most incredible deals right now. An extra 25% off last call clearance and final sales. I found a couple of really great dresses (one being Diane Von Furstenberg) for almost 85% off!!

Can you imagine getting a DVF dress for less than $100? It's rare, but possible. I put it in my shopping bag and continued browsing for more great deals. When I went to check out, though, I was told that not one but ALL of the items I wanted were out of stock in my size.

It's like someone picked everything I planned to buy out of my shopping bag when I wasn't looking.

My friend suggested I call Neiman Marcus and have an operator call every store possible, find me the DVF dress in my size and immediately have it shipped to me for the price I could have had. Alas, I was too drained.

Never forget to send a card Again!

2007-10-29T06:16:00.001-07:00

Anyone can send an email, but nothing beats getting an actual card on your birthday or anniversary or birth of your baby, etc.

The problem is that I'm not the most organized person. I try to put everyone's birthday on my icalendar, but I find that I rarely look at the thing. When I finally do, birthdays end up being the very next day or worse... last week.

Oops, not enough time to send a card... plenty of time to buy a pathetic belated one.

With Jack Cards, remembering to send a card will never be a problem again. Just enter peoples' special occasions and choose a card that fits said occasion. Jack Card will send you the card by mail in advance (STAMP INCLUDED) to write a message and sign as you please. Then you just drop it in the mail and it will reach it's destination in time for celebration.

It's a great idea, one I wish that I had thought of. Check out http://www.jackcards.com/ for more info.

The Correct Button

2007-10-10T09:46:00.000-07:00

The rep from Milly sent buttons to me a few weeks ago, but unfortunately they were not the right button. I had such a tough time getting them in the first place because FedEx sucks, so to finally get the WRONG button just pissed me off.

I emailed the rep and thanked her for her effort, but the buttons didn't match.

In the weeks that followed, yet another button came off and the side strap came loose. For what seems like a high quality coat, I am shocked that all of this is happening. It's not like I'm tossing the coat around and abusing it.

I decided to give up on the coat, but keep it just in case I one day had a use for it.

Well it turns out that might be sooner than I thought. Yesterday a different rep from Milly emailed me to apologize for sending the wrong button. She asked for a pic of the coat and promised to try and send the correct buttons this time.

Once again, Milly is amazing with customer service. We'll see if the correct button comes this time. My only stipulation was to please use the USPS because I hate FedEx.

Buttons

2007-08-24T20:29:00.000-07:00

As the self-appointed queen of bargains, I'm still a snob about my clothes. At least I don't buy fakes...

A local boutique had their super sale, and I went immediately after work. I probably tried on 50 outfits, but I settled on three very select items totalling to almost 75% off. One item is this gorgeous summer/fall coat by Milly... originally $400.

We had a cool day in Boston and I had the opportunity to sport my new coat. At the end of the day I realized that one of the buttons was missing. Normally this wouldn't bother me , but I haven't had the best couple of weeks.

I went to Milly's website, emailed the two contact names I found and went off on them about my expectations on quality. It was completely immature and unnecessary, but I did it and can't take it back.

And to my surprise, one of them responded. She apologized for the inconvenience and has put a replacement button in the mail for me.

I am very impressed with the prompt reply and action... I think I need more Milly clothes too.

Never Enough

2007-08-12T17:01:00.000-07:00

I can never have enough dresses, especially when the designer is 12th St. by Cynthia Vixen. Sure most of the dresses are the exact same cut at different lengths, but that cut looks great on my bod.

So yes, I bought yet another dress. Different color, different length... but HOT! Oh and did I mention it was on sale, and then I used a coupon code to get a further discount? OH YEAH!

SUPER SALE!!

2007-07-30T06:34:00.000-07:00

There's nothing I love more than the super sale. All the uber-shoppers and fashionistas out there will know what I'm talking about.

Many stores start out with their summer sale or winter sale. People rush in, but things really are not that discounted. If there's something covetted, BUY IT! Otherwise wait.

Waiting is annoying, but it truly pays off. Over time I will get emails detailing further price slashing, until that one day comes... the SUPER SALE.

This is the day that a store is desperately trying to rid their racks of the last season. This is the day I wait for. This is the day where I rule!

This day happened to be last thursday. I got an email from one of my favorite boutiques. They had seriously slashed prices on labels such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Milly and Rebecca Taylor.

I spent hours in the store trying on EVERYTHING! Come on now... all dresses for $75. I am happy to say I made some fabulous purchases and I bought $940 worth of clothing for $315.

Broke

2007-07-17T02:02:00.000-07:00

I'm not exactly broke, but school has a leash on me and I don't have ANY income for the next couple of months. I'm still finding the occasional really cool item online, but I just haven't had the interest to write about anything. I think because I haven't bought anything in a while.

Ok I did buy a raffle ticket to win a BMW. Let's meditate on me winning...
