Shopping Tip: Get Your Electronic Warranties

Hello Shopaholics!Hope you're all gearing up for an awesome weekend of shopping and fun with friends. Just wanted to drop a quick line to let you guys know that I won't be able to post any outfit pictures for a couple weeks...or any other "homemade" photos for that matter.

SA How To: Tie a Sash

Shopaholic sweetie, CTPrep, asks, "I always have a hard time tying sashes, how did you tie yours?"Well, CTPrep, I figured the best way to explain this would be with a video, so I've uploaded my first-ever video to YouTube, embedded in this post. This is my first, so it's not exactly the most professionally-filmed video ever, but I figured it would be better than a step by step written explanation

Casual Chic - Flats with Bling for Summer 2007

I've been looking for an affordable pair of flat sandals with lots of bling since last summer...unfortunately, the trend seemed to be with the brands that like to charge over $100, which I didn't (and still don't) feel like spending. Luckily, this season Nine West has stepped up with some cute designs like this pair:Nine West - Carly - sparkly flats for $69These sandals are perfect for those days

Casual Chic - Dinner Date

My SO took me out for a simple dinner at a local Mexican restaurant, and even though I could have made it with a T-shirt and jeans, I felt like dressing up just a tad:I love how comfy and breezy this top is, but with all that volume, I had to pair it with some slimming skinny jeans to balance everything. The black cover-up was a must with the restaurant's frosty interior (lots of AC), and I

Louis Vuitton Does Watches, Too

When I hear "Louis Vuitton", the first thing that comes to my mind are those monogram purses you see everywhere. I easily forget about the luggage, shoes, scarves, and belts that they also make so chicly. What I didn't know was that they also make watches...and super chic watches, at that! Perhaps they've made said watches for a long time...I have no clue, but while browsing eluxury.com today, I

Goddess Must-Have: The Goddess Guide

You are a goddess. You may not think you are...but you are. You may not be rich or famous. You may not ever have the chance to model for a fashion magazine. You may not have a closet full of designer shoes. And...You most likely do not have a chapter dedicated to you in a mythology book. I don't think any of this stuff matters. I think that if you haven't done so already, you need to find

Setting Sights On: Gucci

I love my Chanel, don't get me wrong, but I'm kind of a "matchy-matchy" person. You know, the kind who doesn't like to mix black and brown, which brings me to my point. I get a lil uncomfortable leaving my house with brown shoes and a brown-toned outfit and my black, quilted Chanel. It's nothing that would keep me from actually leaving my house or being embarrassed of my outfit or purse (like

Reader Q: White Ankle Boots

Someone sent me a reader Q a couple weeks ago, and I've been searching my email all day to find it...only to realize that it's probably in one of my comments...I can't find it! Sorry! But I do remember the basic premise of the question. I believe you were asking if it was ok to wear white ankle boots and if so, what to wear them with.I'm not really a "super trendy" person myself, so I actually
