Christmas Cards

So by now, I'm sure many of you have heard of the Shutterfly offer for 50 free Holiday cards to bloggers. I'm so excited! There are so many to choose from! I love many of them but I'll show you a few of my favorites.


I love them! I think they're so adorable.
The one's I like all have a pretty unique flare. Shutterfly is so good at creating awesome cards. I'm so happy about this promotion. It's usually a hassle to get out Christmas cards, but come on, 50 FREE cards!? How could you pass this down? A lot has changed for me in 2010 and I'm so excited to share it with these new cards. I think my favorite one is one with the pinkish snowflake band. I think it's such a special card. I can not wait to share this with all my family and friends this year. I'm so grateful for this oppertunity!

Technology

So I get that technology is popular. But what good is it if people don't know how to use it????it drives me insane when people don't do things correctly, and then get mad when people try to help them. It is absolutely ridiculous.



Ps. I'm typing this from an Ipad :)

Eminem - Love The Way You Lie ft. Rihanna

Does Rhianna Look fan-freaking-tastic to you in this vid?

I think she looks amazing!

Maxi Dresses

A trend that is often worn in the summer and I have seen practically everywhere recently is the Maxi dress style. Here are a couple of example:

Some cheaper alternatives to the ones above are:

This dress is by ModCloth and retails for $54.99 and is available here

This dress is by Liquorish and retails for $50.73. It is available here

One last option is a little more expensive at $93.00, but is absolutely adorable. You can purchase it here.

Giveaway

My friend Stacy over at Stacy Says is having a CSN stores giveaway. It's a $40 giftcard, so Get at it! http://stacysaysblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/another-csn-stores-giveaway.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2Ftkyv+%28Stacy+Says%29

TJ Maxx and other Randomness.

Lately, my biggest obsession has been TJ Maxx. I love it. They have great brands and fantastic prices. (plus it helps that we just got a brand new store :) ). I recently got an American Eagle bathing suit, as well as a Speedo swimsuit for $32.00. That's a bargain if you ask me.

Testing is STUPID. Administration wastes weeks going over End of Grade testing when it could be done it 4 days tops.

Has anyone been keeping up with the Real Housewives of NYC drama?!?!? Sheesh. Kelly is CRAZY! I adore Bethenny and it makes me so angry to watch Kelly constantly on her back. I know, I take it personally, however, these girls are like close friends to me. After all I do spend an hour of my time every week participating in their lives. No?

What about Real Housewives of NJ? Danielle, honey, sometimes you just have to let go! Seriously, stop complaining about having to pay your bills and GET A JOB! her poor children. Danielle has a great body, now don't get me wrong, but does it not seem that she is trying to hard to fit in with girls her daughters age??

And last but not least, Bachelorette starts Monday night. I love Ali, however it already seems that ABC has signed her over to the fakeness.

Silly Bandz

There are these new bracelets that a lot of people at my school have begun wearing. I have looked for them, but i can't find them They're called Silly Bandz??

*Update*
I have found Sillybands and have since become obsessed with them! I know have over 80 of them!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone! Please remember the real reason why we celebrate Easter. It's so easy to get caught up in the candy, the bunny, the eggs, the events, the planning. All in all remember that our risen savior is the real reason for Easter.

"He lives, he lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along this narrow way! He lives he lives Salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart. "

Happy Easter!!

Latest Looks

So, recently I have worn a couple things that I love, so I thought I would share them!

These sunglasses are really cute, and I got them at American Eagle for only $15.5o!

This Graphic-tee was only $10.00 from American Eagle.

Okay, so actually this whole outfit came from AE. Have I mentioned I love American Eagle??

And last but certainly not least, I also love these Artist Crop Vintage worn jeans from American Eagle for only $39.50.

I love their clothing because it is very good quality. Especially if you compare it to other popular teen stores. Another reason is because their products fit better. The fabrics are not as tight, and They're also so comfortable. You do end up paying for it though, because American Eagle can be very pricey. :)

Has anyone seen promos for Glee lately?? Only about 2 more weeks!! I can't wait for this season. It looks like there is going to be some heated things happening between Emma Pillsbury and Mr.Schuster. He is such a cutie!

So if you made it to the bottom of my rambling thoughts, Congratulations!!

I'm so ready for Easter/spring Break! Anyone else got a case of Spring Fever?!?!

Pet Peeve

Ok, I'm just gonna put this out there.........



I HATE so called "vaguebooking"

If you're going to post it, be willing to explain..


'nuff said.

Cute Hat

So even though this hat is still expensive, I love it and think it ir super adorable!

SIGNATURE NEWSBOY HAT
$128.00

only at Coach.

By the way, If you watched the Grammy's, who did you think was best dressed? I liked Carrie Underwood, not that she was BEST dressed, but she always looks absolutely stunning.

Swimwear

Even though it's still winter, I wanted to show you a swimwear find.

This top and bottom swim suit at Abercrombie & Fitch together costs $74.00.

The cheaper find is from Target and is available for just $35.98!

I also recently purchased a shirt from Abercrombie that had started out at $40.00, then had been marked down to $16.90, and then when I went the other day they were having a "redline" sale, so I got this shirt for $9.10! That is the least amount of money I have every spent there.

First Looks

These heels, shown here are great looking and only cost 20.80! at Forever 21.

Compare that to these:

which retail for approximately $700-900

Great for summer, let's take a look at some winter and spring options.

This look is well over $500.

The purpose of this blog, is to show people that you can have celebrity styles without dropping too much cash.

Let's take a look at one more style.

This wool pea coat from Burberry retails for about $595.00. Very expensive.

Here is a style that looks almost identical but has a much nicer price tag.

This coat retails for $122.50. Yes, much better.

I hope these ideas inspire you to be fashion forward but yet smart spenders!
