A Monogrammed Blackberry?

I was browsing the net today and came across a great website for a variety of monogrammed decals and stickers. I was originally looking for a cut-out monogrammed sticker that I could place in the middle of a cute acrylic tray for a cute birthday present for a dear friend. Of course I became immediately sidetracked.

I found a website called www.electrasmonograms.com that has a variety of monogrammed sticker options. Their motto is preppy decals & stylish monogrammed stickers for EVERYTHING you can't embroider. They had me at preppy!

At 1.25" across, the sticker can be made with three different fonts, including the fancy letters shown above. I have a pink hard protector case on my BB and it will be just perfect with a lime green monogrammed sticker! Check one out for yourself!

Longchamp Le Pilage- Help Needed!!

Between work and some travel these past two weeks, I've neglected to update my **new** blog. But I'm back :)

I'm a planner and start shopping for gifts well in advance of the actual holiday. With Mother's Day coming up in about a month, I've started some online browsing to decide on a gift for Mother.

I've decided to get Mother a Le Pilage bag from Longchamp. They are such an easy, ideal bag for toting items around town or for travel. Aside from the super cute look, the best part is that the bag folds up into a cute little square...so it can easily be thrown into a suitcase. I personally always tuck my bag into the front pocket of my suitcase (and I even keep one in the pocket behind the driver seat...perfect for using during unexpected shopping excursions...which seem to happen a lot!)

I was thinking the pink bag above as the color to get (the black is just an example of how it is folded). Longchamp.com also provides a custom bag service- you get to choose the overall size, handle size, colors, accessory finish and customize with initials or name! Since I am so taken by anything personalized, I am pretty taken by this option. Having Mother's initials embossed on the leather portion of the bag would be so cute! The only downfall is that the custom bags are made up of two panels vs. the single panel of the standard Le Pilage bags. See the khaki/pink sample above (not the colors I would necessarily choose). Even if you choose the same color for both panels, it somehow looks different.

So what should I do?! A pink standard non-customized Le Pilage or a customized one in navy/pink? What would you rather receive?

Lexie Petite Jeans

As a petite gal, I'm always at the tailor getting pants hemmed and taken in. When I first came across the Lexie petite line from 7 for All Mankind about a year ago, I was really excited. Side note story: once I found a pair of True Religion comfy pants sewed to look like jeans. I was beyond ecstatic when I found out that they they fit and I wouldn't need hemmed! Turned out that they were the cropped version that fit my little legs so well!

Anyway, back to the Lexie line. With an inseam of 33" they are perfect for me to wear with flats. I just purchased the clean white wash in preparation for warmer weather. With a pair of cute sandals and a gauzy, flowing top, they will be perfect for a casual dinner this summer!

Jack Roger Jellies!

I've been a Jack Rogers fan for years now. Not only are they super cute, but they are great sandals for traveling since they can be dressed up or down. My platinum pair makes the cut on almost every warm weather trip I take!

I just got back from a fabulous vacation in the Caribbean. My faithful sandals made the trip, although they had to withstand the beach/sand/pool area each day, which can be hard on the leather.

Problem solved! I found out today that Jack Rogers makes their classic Navajo sandal as a jelly. In black or platinum they perfect for the pool or beach! I ordered a pair of platinum ones. Now all I need is warm weather to wear them in!

Hellllooo blogging

After many years as a faithful blog reader, I decided that it was finally time to start my own blog.

I guess I should start with a little bit about myself. I'm a shopaholic with a love of travel, volunteerism and all things pink and green. A 20something living in Pennsylvania while trying to live each day to the fullest, usually in pearls :)

Cheers!
