As Seen In

Wednesday night when I hosted my Royal party, it was also a royal jewels Stella and Dot party in the same night! Our thought was, a fun excuse to get girls together to mingle, a reason to talk Royal Wedding talk and a good time to buy some presents for your Mum for Mother's Day!

I know I have talked about them before, but honestly, there are so many cute pieces available on Stella and Dot, I love the jewelry! Recently I have seen their items featured in so many magazines and online. Look below for all of the beautiful new pieces they have brought out this season. Adorable, stylish, really cute.

The silver chain necklace above, I have it. Gorgeous! I can't tell you the amount of compliments I get on it! Paired with a white t shirt, a dressy LBD, jeans and heels, its fabulous!

If you are not familiar with the company, read this article about the Founder, Jessica Herrin here. Listed as #67 on Inc. 500 Superstar Entrepreneurs, that's amazing! She has built quite the company.

Check out the site here. For those of you who couldn't make it to my Royal Affair, if you want to place an order for you or in time for Mother's Day you can go to the site then click find a hostess in the upper right corner and enter my name and start shopping!

You need some jewels to dress in the correct british wedding attire correct? Or I am sure you will find something for your mum!

Happy shopping!

Red Stamp

I have fallen in love with the stationary site Red Stamp.com! For the new year Pizzazzerie posted a link to Red Stamp's 2011 printable calendars and after that, I was hooked. I recently purchased some personal calling cards. The service was wonderful, they personalized colors, fonts, etc. quickly and sent proofs within a day to view before printing. Their products are stylish and I love them. You know how I'm a stationary junkie, well this site found its way to my heart!

Engagement party cards. cute.

Stylish baby shower cards for the modern mama!

I chose this style for my calling cards. I customized them to be hot pink, light pink and grey. They turned out amazing and I love everytime I am able to hand them out! I absolutely adore the Iphone App! You can download it and send out fancy text messages or emails. Or for only $.99 you can send an actual print post card in the mail all from your phone. What fun to have a personalized card pop up in your text box!

Hop on over to Red Stamp and send somebody a fun card to add a smile to their day!

The Curiosity Shoppe

After reading a few blog posts the other day I fell upon this cute shop, the Curiosity Shoppe. The site is really funky and well has the essentials I need: ceramic ice cream cone holders, silly note cards, ribbons, prints, a porcelain door stop. Curious? Head over http://www.curiosityshoppeonline.com/

Here are some of my favorite finds.....

A ceramic trophy for your mantle. Why not!I would use it as a vase. It makes you feel like you always win.

How cute are these little earrings.

LOVE this horseshoe. Maybe for the wall. It makes me want to have a party and put one on each chair as a little gift of luck.

OBSESSED with these ribbons. Not quite sure what I want to do with them but I have a feeling I could find a good reason to dress up the table with them.

How cute is this card? Need I say more.

Curious for what other little treasures they offer. Head on over to their site.

Stella + Dot

Recently I fell in love with a necklace and found out was from a company called Stella + Dot. As I browsed through the website I realized that the company offered at home parties. I thought it was the perfect reason to invite a bunch of girls I have met over for cocktails, holidays and shopping. I can't wait to have my Stella + Dot party! What better a reason to get together after work then a little shopping, sipping bubbles and meeting girlfriends.

Check out their website. They have everything from glamorous big necklaces to leather cuffs like the ones below. I would like to get a few of them and stack them on top of one another just like in the picture.

When you sign up for an at home part the "stylist" brings over lots and lots of her items and sets up a little shop in your house. I'll be adding martinis and cookies right next to the jewels.

This metal necklace with flowers is OH so what I'm drooling over. Hhhhmmm, maybe Santa will bring it to me at the party.

They offer so many cuff bracelets. I have seen them in many magazines and never knew that this was the company behind the one with the big blue flower, love. What great gifts for Christmas, Bridesmaids, your wedding?

Enjoy doing a little Holiday Shopping at Stella + Dot!

Wynwood Art District - 2nd Saturday

This weekend Beau and I went to Miami for a night out in the Art District. The second Saturday of every month all of the galleries in the Wynwood Art District stay open until 10pm. Some of the galleries offer wine, snacks and sweets. It was nice to be out and about looking at art and browsing through stores with my beau.

I loved watching through the window as the artist sketched this dancer.

Beau and browsed through this outdoor furniture store. AMAZING items, maybe some day we will be able to afford the $4,000.00 outside lounge chair that I fell in love with. Or how about this amazing outdoor, bath, gorgeous. My oh my.

Isn't this art sculpture of paint, brushes and models neat?

I liked these pretty paintings, they kind of reminded me of pretty flowers.

I had to stop in this store and check out these fun dog lamps. If I can't get a real dog maybe I can get a lamp?

It might have been wine in a plastic cup but it was fun to walk around the streets drinking vino and looking through stores and galleries.

Loved the yellow painting behind the bar. I could put that in my living room for sure.

I'm looking forward to heading back in a few months. There are some great stores there, Jonathon Adler, Waterworks, Marimekko....Christian Louboutin..... maybe some day I can get my own shoe art:)

Shop the Outlet in your pj's

I have always loved a good outlet mall shopping trip. Jcrew always seems to have great finds: swimsuits, the long ribbed tanks, last seasons cute dresses 75% off! In college Jcrew use to set up an outlet for a week at Syracuse, we would scrounge up our pennies and run over to get the discounted finds. Well Jcrew has caught on that it is not always the best way to spend your Saturday, walking around a crowded outlet mall. Welcome Jcrew outlet online!

The outlet is ONLY available on the weekends! Turn your alarm on for midnight because these deals will go fast. Below are a few finds I would like in my shopping cart!

Happy Friday! Happy Shopping!

a little romance

Valentine's Day. This time of year everything in the stores seems to be red, pink or chocolate. Even if you don't have a romantic sweetheart I still love celebrating this holiday! I think one of my best memories of Valentine's Day was in college when I decorated our apartment with pink & red EVERYWHERE and made only girls come over for cosmos. All the girls were required to wear the holiday colors. When I was little my mom use to make a big Valentine's breakfast and decorate the table with hearts and give us little gifts.

Yes, some people think it is a Hallmark holiday, but I kind of love it! Why not buy yourself a little something to celebrate you or treat your bestie to a little surprise. I don't believe that Valentine's Day is only a American holiday meant for red roses and teddy bears. I think the holiday is about celebrating love everywhere and everyone!

{I love this print from the Love Shop on Etsy}

{Adorable retro Valentine's cookies from Elenis would make me smile!}

{Paulette macarons in L.A. deliver! And they have pink ones!}

{This gum "We met on Facebook" is so funny!}

{Flowers in any women's life are much appreciated!

Martha Stewart & FTD even has pretty Tulips!}

{The apple of my eye ring. Marc Jacobs}

{I heart monograms! A personalized bracelet or ring from Sarah Chloe}

{Maybe I like these because of a particular Dutch Guy I know;) They are too cute from Peapod Treasures on Etsy. Windmill earrings= a must}

{My sister got one of these Nixon watches recently and they are so fun!}

{Super inexpensive and fun if I was gonig out on the town. From Lulus.}

{Pretty, Ruffles, Pink, Feminine. A perfect pink dress for the day from Banana Republic}

{This skirt is on my WISH list for Spring! It would be perfect for Happy Hearts Day!}

Eat a cupcake, drink some bubbly, paint your nails shiny pink, eat a box of candy hearts, watch a sappy romantic comedy, dance, yell, sing, whatever it is, celebrate the day.

Planning for the New Year

At the beginning of every year I search and search for what agenda to purchase. There is something I love about writing in a calendar. I still use my iPhone for a majority of my appointments but there is something I love about writing in a paper agenda and seeing the big picture. Here are a few of my suggestions if you are searching for one as well.

My Agenda - These are made my the same company who make the Mom Agenda's. They are so detailed with room for every day and every time. They come in pretty metallic colors this year. I love that they started making them for the not moms. I have a busy life too!:)

Moleskin - The classic moleskin brand has created a book with individual planners for each month. You do not need to carry around a large year planner anymore! My sister and I discovered them last week in Seattle and I think we let out a little cheer of excitement when we saw them!

Graphic Image - I have been admiring this planner for two years. It is so pretty. The pages have gilt edges, you can get it monogrammed. I love it. Maybe I will treat myself to this in 2010.

Planner Pad - I know, this is not a stylish planner, however I have heard all of raves about them. If you want to be super organized invest in this and decorate the outside!

Tiffany's - OK this would be a luxury I know, but how pretty is it! Patent leather Tiffany blue!

Kate Spade - I always loved this planner, unfortunately they switched it up. Unlike in the past with a daily calendar they have made it smaller to only have three pages per month. If you are looking for a pretty desk calendar, this is it.

always planning! xoxo
