Cheap Statement Necklaces

I’m a jewelry purist, and generally if it isn’t “fine” it generally won’t be mine. However, I’ve loved the latest jewelry trends like the stacked wrist, and the more recent statement necklace, and it’s extremely pricey to embrace these trends with fine jewelry. As a result, I started shopping around online for pieces that are inexpensive enough that I won’t regret the purchase when this trend exhausts itself, yet don’t look flimsy or cheap. What I stumbled upon was good old Amazon.com, and their “Amazon Curated Collection” and also one of their third-party sellers “SaveGoodBuy“.

In the image above I am wearing the Faceted Black and Opal Stone Statement Necklace, 16.5” which is an Amazon curated piece, and retails for a mere $30, while also qualifying for Amazon Prime (and Super Saver Shipping). THIS LINK will take you directly to this necklace.

I also purchased two other necklaces from a third-party seller, that retail for a song.

the Two Row Bubble Stone Acrylic Bib Cluster Necklace which is only $10.99 and qualifies for prime/free shipping.  I purchased the necklace in an aqua shade that is no longer available, however I love it enough that I am considering another color.

and the Champagne Elegant Drop Shape Bubble Cluster Necklace for $12.99 which appears deceptively expensive.  I DO plan to buy more, and will keep you posted.  Believe me, I purchased and returned many necklaces before finding these winners!

Rebecca Minkoff, M.A.B. Medium Colorblock Tote

The second I spied the Rebecca Minkoff MAB Medium Colorblock Tote in Electric Blue/Black… I was obsessed. This season, I’ve been coveting all things cobalt, and the added interest of basic black pulled me to this bag like a siren song. [Read more…]

Limited Edition Chanel Sunglasses Fall 2013

You know me readers… when I see bling, I stop. So when I was strolling through Nordstrom today, I literally froze in my tracks when I spotted three pairs of Chanel Sunglasses in a glass case, glittering with precious metal.

These sunglasses are beyond expensive… The oversized round sunglasses in the bottom picture are in a pale lavender shade that is actually so eye-catching!  Retail price, a whopping $1,350!  The top image features the Butterfly style in a tortoise-shell with gold adornment.

Spring 2013 Trends: Vivid Color In Every Hue

 

Womens clothing is so much fun for Spring 2013!

From jeans in every color of the rainbow to accessories in almost-blinding neons, this season is all about brights! But be cautious… overdoing it and wearing color from head to toe can look clownish!

Vivid clothing and accessories can be balanced with neutral shades of putty or gray, to ensure the look is fun but not overwhelming!  If basic denim is feeling drab, be sure to check out some of the printed denim shown for this season!  I’m personally not a big fan of the bold stripes we’re seeing everywhere this season, but cute little polka dots are modern and demure!

Online Shopping For Errands!

Girlfriends Should Get To Relax When Shopping!

 

It’s rare for me to get out for some fun shopping with my girlfriends. Since I like shopping trips with friends to be leisurely and relaxed, I rely on online shopping to ensure my errands are complete.  Over time, my habits have completely changed, and the bulk of my annual shopping is done online.  I mean everything!  Women’s clothing, men’s clothing, holiday shopping… I am even now shopping for my weekly groceries online!

I was recently browsing the website “Fashion World”, and loved to see that this site features departments for women, men, footwear, and even household appliances! I’m a fan of places where I can stock up on household necessities like a new Hoover, new jeans for my husband, and a knit top for myself with only one checkout!

Curves Are Back!

October 3, 2012

Fashion models may be seven-foot stick insects, but it seems we Brits aspire to a somewhat different shape. The survey conducted recently by visual.ly puts Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé at the top of the list for the perfect female form. That could be good news for Twiggy (who looks fantastic anyway): not only is she more comfortable now that those sixties hipbones are no longer a hazard in the rush hour, but it looks as if she’s right on the money where today’s fashion is concerned. Again.

Hello Magazine certainly seems to agree. It seems that curves are back. Hopefully, the evil ghost of size zero is about to be laid to rest. [Read more…]

More Women Are Satisfied With Breast Enhancement And Reductions

August 15, 2012

The majority of women who undergo breast reduction surgery are satisfied with the results, according to a recent survey.  A total of 125 women who had undergone reduction mammoplasty were polled in the study, which assessed their feelings on the procedure six months after it had taken place and again one year later.

After six months, nearly 90 per cent of women rated the outcome of their cosmetic surgeries as “good” or “very good”. One year on, the figure had decreased but was still high at 80 per cent. Additionally, surgeons themselves were asked to rate the outcomes by comparing standard before and after photos, with around 75 per cent giving a “good” or “very good” rating. [Read more…]
