Love That! Michelle Obama & Bright Sheaths!

I have always been a lover of sheath dresses, they are a sharp and polished look -- and what could be easier than just throwing on a dress and looking tres fab?! Well in my opinion no one is rocking bright sheaths better than Mrs. President!
Anyone can pull off this look -- give it a try this Fall!

Coupon Clipping Made Easy!

Clipping Coupons has always seemed like a good idea to me, yet I never found the time to do it and if I did, I would somehow forget them when I headed out to the market! Well I have found the solution! There are two wonderful coupon sites out there -- Redplum and Smart Source! These sites are amazing, you can literally search for the coupons you need and just hit print - how simple?! Last Friday, I made my grocery list and then searched these two sites for the coupons I needed, I saved $15 dollars!
Who knows, I might become the coupon lady!
Happy Monday!

Calling a blogger named "MISS"

I think we have all been through this -- anonymous posts, etc...
WELL there is a blogger called "MISS" who keeps trying to leave comments on my blog, but I can not reply to her because her profile is private! If you feel you have questions you need answered make sure your blog/profile is accessible!
Or be an adult and write an email so your questions can be answered.
That is all!

Skinny Belts!

I am just LOVING skinny belts right now. As I go through my closet, I have found that skinny belts can be the best updating accessory to just about everything - I love pairing these belts with cardi's and shift dresses, it creates such a polished look!
How do you wear your skinny belt?!

Wear skinny belts just above your belly button to accentuate the thinnest part of your waist!

Lauren Conrad for Kohl's!

I have loved Lauren "LC" Conrad since Laguna Beach, loved her even more on The Hills, and now she has created an amazing bridge line called LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's! The pieces from the line are relaxed yet polished and the prices can't be beat! Since I am now in grad school and you all know my budget is taking a beating -- I am always looking for deals but do not want to sacrifice style, I think I have found my answer!
Below are some of my favorite pieces, I need to find a Kohl's ASAP!

Brushstroke Dress! How cute would this be with leggings?
Go LC!

Magazines!

Like many of you, I have subscriptions to tons of fabulous magazines! However, I feel so wasteful at the end of the month when I have to dump them all in the recycling bin! I've had an idea! I would totally be willing to either swap mags with some blogger friends or I would be happy to send some magazines via media mail to people who are interested - you would just be responsible for covering the cost of mailing the mags!
What do you all think?!
My subscription list goes on and on!
Happy Hump Day!

Who am I? I'll never tell!

Well I can't tell you how happy I am that my guilty pleasure is back on prime time. I just cannot get enough of Gossip Girl! How great was last nights episode?! First of all Blair is amazing, LOVE LOVE LOVE her -- and Chuck well they are just the best couple ever! Best line of the show was when Dan told Blair that there "are no headbands in college", well maybe at NYU! I almost died when the show ended with Dan kissing Georgina - disgusting!

Just SAY NO!
SO CUTE!
Best Couple Ever!

The Keurig!

As you all know I am back to being a student and grad school has definitely cut into my spending abilities :( So I decided to invest in the Keurig because my bank account was hurting from my daily Starbucks run! I couldn't be happier with my purchase, it is simply fab and I love that you can make one cup of coffee instead of brewing a whole pot! Even better -- there is no mess! I also get to play barista every morning when I pick from the never ending selection of K-cups! Well I am off to start this day with a delicious Nantucket blend coffee in my Lilly mug!
Happy Hump Day!

Necklace Display Dilemma!

So as I am trying to get my bedroom and closet organized, I have realized that I have so many fun necklaces that get thrown in my jewelry box and forgotten about. I want to create a display so that I can see what I actually have. I was researching the idea and it seems like a lot of people use a cork board and fun push pins (see below) to display necklaces - I thought this was a cute idea but I am not sure it totally goes with my bedroom decor, maybe I could place it on a wall in my closet? I also found a fun jewelry tree from pottery barn but I think it may be too small. Finally I found this velvet necklace stand, that is more function than pretty but it could be the right fit to just place in my closet to let me see what I've got. Do any of you have any thoughts? How do you display your costume jewelry?!
