Brooks Brothers Spring 2011

Brooks Brothers  is Having their Preferred Customer Spring 2011 Events Sale  Friday March 25th through Thursday April 7th.  Enjoy 25% off your entire purchase when you use your Brooks Brothers Card.

And might I recommend this Fabulous Shirt that is a classic and will go with anything!  I have it in Black and White and literally wear it all the time!  I even wore it through the winter with a sweater over top!  I'm so glad they are back again this season because my white one is very well worn.

I promise you will Love it!

Relief for Japan

Tory Burch is raising money for relief in Japan and what a great idea!  Through Sept 11th they will donate 100 percent of proceeds to the Red Cross for aide to Japan.

These adorable Tee shirts are only 29.00 and are a great way to show your support.

A Bientot

A Bientot  is the cutest little accessory store in Houston!  Every time I go to visit, I just love popping in and always find a precious goodie to purchase.   So I was thrilled and when I received a Thank You package from Lily and saw this little box inside.

It was so thoughtful of Lily to send this darling bracelet as a Thank You for helping with her B-day!  Here are some are some of the goodies from the website, but I have to admit the website does not do it justice.  It's truly just one of those stores you must visit at some point!

Beautiful Broach

I always find precious earrings

Thanks Lily and I look forward to my next trip to A Bientot :)

Almost Swimsuit Season

Swimsuit season is almost upon us and of course that means looking for the cutest one pieces.  Yes, I did say one piece.  Some friends think I am crazy bc I only wear one pieces, but you always have to dress for your body type, even at the pool.  Believe me ladies if I had an amazing midsection I would see no reason to hide it.  The only reason you think I do not have a problem area is because you have never actually seen it!  That's one of the best pieces of advice I can give!  Dress for your body type.  It literally makes you look pounds lighter.

So back to the one pieces.  The best places to look for a cute one piece, which can be hard to find are Nordstrom, South Moon Under, any Lilly P store, Saks, and believe it or not, I have even gotten a cute one piece Bandeau at Newport News (I know it sounds ridic but it's actually my favorite suite.) Obviously J Crew has adorable one pieces, but the don't fit me right unfortunately.  Maybe I will try one again this year, but I've never had any luck in years past.

Here are some that I am looking at for this season.......

Juicy

I don't care for black especially in the summer, but I do love Juicy suits and Ruffles!  So I'm hoping this suit will make it's debut in another color.  It can be found at Nordstrom Online

 Marc Jacobs

This suit is certainly unique so it has some potential.  This version can be found at South Moon Under, but it's also sold in solids on Bluefly.  Thus far I prefer the solid version, but wanted to share this pic to spice things up. 

Trina Turk
This is my fav so far!  Love the bright and cheery colors for summer! This screams tropical get away.  Maybe for our Puerto Rico Trip next month??


I've also always wanted a Burberry suit, but it looks like they are sold out this year.  I'll keep looking and post when I find one, but for all you fellow one piece wearers here's a good start.  I'm ready for summer!

Preparing for V-Day

So to prepare for Valentine's Day my friend and I took a little trip during our lunch break last week to one of Richmond's favorite spots in Carytown!

For the Love of Chocolate was decked out and ready for this Big Occasion!

This store truly has it all and here are some of my favorite stops!

YUMMY!!!!!

Of course we want to recognize their unique gifts as well :)

I'm embarrassed to admit I have owned these at one point in my life.

This book is right up my alley!

I left with some Pink Cotton Candy Rock Candy and some goodies for Mac!  It was a very successful trip.  If you haven't been it is a must go spot!  Hope they have recovered from this busy season.
