I want this Maxi dress that is pictured on Eva Longoria, I found it here for $178 with free shipping but it looks like they only have size XS left.

HAPPY BELATED EASTER

SEXUALI-TEE

                                                   

Shop this tee here

This Sexuali-tee from American Apparel is FAB.  It is the perfect light weight versatile piece.  It can be worn as a top or as a dress & the fit is so flattering.  I have it in black and white and in the tank styles as well for $34 its a great investment.  It does run a bit large so I would recommend a size 1 to most everyone.

INSPIRATION

I am DYING to switch out our kitchen island light fixture and have been eyeing West Elm's pendant lights pictured at the top.  However I wasn't thrilled about their price tag of $150.  So needless to say I have been looking around at other options.  Well today I came across these pendant lights from Ikea that look extremely similar to the West Elm version and are priced at a cool $29.  Im still hoping the West Elm ones go one sale soon but if not at least I can play with the Ikea ones to achieve a similar look.

These pom poms are so fun for brithday parties, weddings, bridal/baby showers, etc.. These would also be great for the upcoming holidays Easter and Cinco de Mayo!  I like how they can be used to decorate a baby's nursery as well...so many posabilities.

Sorry for the poor quality took with my phone at work

KIDS CHOICE AWARDS

Loving Selena Gomez's look for the Kids Choice Awards.  I like how she paired turquoise heels with her otherwise simple white outfit by Christian Cota.  Bold colored shoes add just the right amount of color to this look.  Her shoes are by Camilla Skovgaard and can be found here

BODY CON

So I have been wanting a body con dress for awhile now & I finally found one that fit my criteria.  I ordered it in black but it also comes in orange and white.  It was totally a steal for $44.00 and FREE shipping!  I will give you a review once it's delivered! Purchase info here
I received my dress today and was totally bummed, the fabric and shape were very poor.  This one is going back.



DONNI CHARM

So my beautiful cousin Lauren (pictured at the top) introduced me to her sorority sisters collection Donni Charm about 2 years ago.  I asked her to pick one out for me & she picked the Donni forever with a wing charm since I was a Pi Phi at the UofA.  I fell immediately in love with it and get TONS of compliments every time I wear it (thanks Lauren).  This morning I decided to see what new things she has for her Spring 2011 collection and I am obsessed!
