Random Fabulous Finds!

I thought I might share some of my random fabulous finds. These all fall into different categories whether it be accessories, clothes, gift ideas, etc. I'm always finding interesting/unique things during my shopping so I figured I would spread the word on the latest items that you may not be aware of. Enjoy!
  • Whether you are traveling or running around all day keeping the "sew chic" in your handbag is great for the unexpected emergency. You never know when you will need a safety pin or needle and thread. And best of all they are styling with a variety of colors to choose from and enclosed with a zipper. Sew Chic
  • For all you soon to be brides out there this is for you! It's a wedding organizer that comes in a beautiful soft blue and has everything you need to plan your fabulous wedding! Wedding Organizer
  • Okay, even I think this is a little rediculous but it had me interested when I saw it online. It's called "nature calls" and it eliminates odors from your toilet. So if you want to feel a little fancy with your $9.00 "nature calls" instead of your spray air freshner then check this out! Nature Calls
  • "The Ball" is an exfoliator that smooths your skin from Sephora. A ball? What will they think of next? But, I'll admit it actually seems pretty cool. The Ball
  • People are beginning to take better care of their skin by wearing sunscreen and laying off the tanning beds. But, you still want to have that little glow. This is one of my FAVORITE gradual tanning lotions. You can set it to what level you want which regulates how dark you will get. No orange ugly color, but be sure to rub in thoroughly to avoids streaks. Aveeno Self-Tanning Lotion
  • Ready for a more sophisticated decor for your bedroom? This is a great look! The floral print is so chic and the colors mauve and white really bring out the design. Bed in a Bag
  • Ohhhh la la.....I am in love with this exotic gold cuff and green stone in the center. Wearing this piece of jewelry tells everyone you got taste! Stone Cuff

Dresses, dresses, and more dresses!


Dresses are the new black! The new "it" thing to wear is the long dress. They are comfortable, stylish, and make every woman feel and look great! Whether your grocery shopping or going to a fancy dinner, having the perfect long dress with a pair of gorgeous flats looks fabulous. Some of my favorite brands/places to find the perfect long dress are Juicy Couture, Arden B, T-Bags, Ella Moss, Gypsy 05, etc. It's a great way to show off your personality w/ a conservative long black dress or a bright yellow dress. So, go out today and treat yourself to a fabulous new dress and some popping accessories, meet some of your friends for drinks and work your fabulousness.
Look great in this dress from Gypsy 05. It comes in several different colors and is made from natural fabrics. It has been seen by the hottest celebrities in LA!
If your looking for something with a little more edge then check out this dress. It is solid at the top and tie-dye at the bottom. 
This is a fabulous dress for lunch at the beach or casual dinner with friends. The paisley print is adorable and looks great with a pair of flip flops. 
The colors in this dress are great for summer! Brown, lime, and orange are the best colors to bring out your sun kissed tan and it can be worn day or night. 
I love this dress because it is simple yet sexy for a night of cocktails. There's no fuss, it's just a solid colored dress with a v-neck but the colors are wonderful and exotic for a night on the town!
T-bags never goes wrong with their dresses. They are known for their beautiful prints and styles and this orange harvest is no exception. It's yellow flowers and white background is great for the warm weather.
Ella Moss is another favorite of mine and the black label is even better. Granted this dress is a bit pricey but very elegant with its gorgeous silver and ivory colors. This is a great dress to wear to a wedding or other dressy event.

MUST HAVE!

Must go get the Sex and the City book that talks all about the movie. It includes the fashions worn by each character, the places they went to, a personal letter written by Sarah Jessica Parker, and much more. However, do not read this until you have seen the movie because it gives a play by play of what happens in the movie including the ending. There are even clothes and scenes that were cut out so it's a must read! 
Want to feel like one of the ladies that you are most like? Get a Sex and the City shirt at Kitson that says "I'm a Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, or Miranda." I personally have one and it fits great and makes you feel fab!

Sex and the City

Okay ladies if you haven't seen Sex and the City yet shame on YOU! Hurry and buy your ticket immediately. You will laugh, cry, and ache with envy for the clothes. Did anyone recognize the driver when Miranda and Carrie are talking in the cab? Think back....way back. He appeared in the first season as a cab driver as well. Anyway, back to the clothes....my personal favorite Carrie ensemble would have to be the reinvention of the dress with the flower at the beginning of the movie. The colors white and gold are classic! If only we all had a million dollars to wear the Prada, Chanel, and on and on. The ladies look better than ever, the bond they have is priceless, and fashion cannot be touched!
