They have a wide variety of fashion accessories and jewelry and a great selection of affordable watches. They seriously have the best prices ever! If you're in the market for some fun costume watches, you have to check out their site. This gorgeous watch has tiny rhinestones that move inside the face of the watch. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it and I love it's casual/glam vibe. 

My watch came packaged in the cutest little polka dot box with a bow on it. I loved everything about my experience with Born Pretty. The adorable packaging was just the icing on the cake.

Cobalt Craze

Hey everyone--

Spring is just around the corner and I'm already there! I adore the bright color trend I've been seeing for spring and Deb Shops has gorgeous, colorful new arrivals! I'm wearing head to toe Deb Shops for this post and I've fallen in love with every piece! To get the look style cobalt blue skinnies and a white off the shoulder blouse with nude strappy chunky heels. Then, accessorize with a breezy mint cross-body bag, a blue statement necklace and your favorite pair of sunnies. 

Colored skinnies are such a fun way to add color to a casual, yet trendy look. Check out Deb Shops to see more colorful collections! 

Happy Monday!

Kate Spade Spring Collection 2014

Hey everyone-- 

I absolutely adore Kate Spade's spring collection for this year (go figure)! The colors are just fabulous and the glamorous silhouettes have me swooning. The ice blue and light gray colors are so unique warmer weather. I'm loving the early '60s influence on these styles. Once again, Kate Spade's collection reflects an image of my own personal style. 

These are a few of my favorite looks from the collection. You will definitely see looks reminiscent to these in my spring/summer attire.

Bows And Balloons

Hey everyone--

I just love Valentine's Day! This year, Deb Shops got me ready in this adorable red bow strapless dress. I'm a bow fanatic, especially during the most romantic month of the year. To keep out the chill, I paired this dress with a classic black shrug. To accessorize, I chose the most gorgeous teardrop earrings and these black suede heels. You could wear this outfit out on the town for a romantic dinner with your sweetheart or your best gals. You could also wear this to any Valentine's Day dance or event for a touch of glamour and fun!

Happy February friends! I'm already making valentines and treats at my house. I hope you're enjoying the season for hearts and all things red and pink.

Oh & Happy Groundhog's Day! Phil better not have seen that shadow! Does anyone know if he did?
