Love Sign  Here are some ideas for those you love this Valentines Day. My husband and I have never been ones to make a big deal of this holiday; however we do give each other small gifts.   Idea for him fun socks! My husband has to dress more formal for work but his socks are his way to express his own personal style. Which is t-shirt, jeans and video games. But aren't we all just adults who secretly wish they were little kids again? Here is a unique take on this gift. Wrap it up with style by rolling the socks and adding a heart sticker. It looks like a box of chocolates! I found my supplies at Target. Those Mario video game socks are located in the Video game isle in your local target! Such a cute and fun gift! A gift for her that  I think is such a sweet idea is personalized jewelry. Pick a date or a place or something you say to each other. I love this idea because no one else will have it. My husband got me this bangle which has the date of our son's ...

Love Sign and Floral Heart Wreath.  Love Sign What you will need is a flat wood surface, wood tacks, and string.  I got my supplies at Hobby Lobby and they had a sign with planks ready for crafting. You can also totally make your own out of an old pallet.  Use you string to spell out the word you would like. I chose love for my sign since it is almost Valentine's Day.  Make sure not to cut your string because you will need the extra length to adjust your letters to your liking.  Now start adding you tacks but do not put them in all the way so you will be able to move your string around to adjust your letters. Wrap your string around your tack. I put my tacks where the letters need more shape. Once complete stand it up on it's side and check your letter and adjust where needed.  I decided to take a tack out of my "e" letter. Once you are sure you love your placement hammer the tacks down and then you are done! ...

Shoes   Bag I have experienced both of these highs. Don't get me wrong there is nothing like a new handbag and shoes. I am what you would call and accessory girl. I have been known to buy clothing to match my shoes. That high is short lived though. After you bring them home and put them on your shelf they start to lose their luster. You use them or you don't. They may go out of style, you may fall out of love, or they may wear out. However, the high and feeling I get watching my savings grow and knowing that I am leaving a legacy for my family is like no other. Bag   Sunglasses   Wallet  Even though you will see me talk about the latest fashion trends and my designer collection, I am secretly very passionate about financial health. The reason I say my secret passion is because since as long as I can remember talking about money is taboo. You never ask someone how much they make or what they have in savings. However, you can ask how much those shoes were ...

Kate Spade Dress You Should Never Wear Pink And Red Together This rule I heard people tell my Mom when she was rocking beautiful red hair in the 90s. (And yes it was big) Your hair is beautiful but too bad you can't wear pink or that dress is beautiful but you can't wear it. I don't know why this rule happened? Because, as you can see above it looks fab! The only thing I can think of is that people are jealous of the red hair. Now that I am older and decided to dye my hair a rocking red. I wear my pink and I wear it proud! Anthropology Clutch   J-crew Factory Floral Tank You Shouldn't Mix Prints Now this one can be true depending on the print but there is cheat to help you make this chic happen.One print must be smaller and less flashy as the other. Now look at the picture above. I mixed two florals together but the one on the tank is more subdued and I am letting my clutch have the spotlight. So have fun and start creating new looks. LV Multicolor Wa...

Manolo Moment Some people might find this strange but I love buying preloved designer shoes! "What!? You mean someone else's feet have been in them?" Yasssss girl! Does not bother me! You keep judging and I will keep having my Carrie moment! Yes these are my Manolos that I put on the tree!  The savings is way to good to even think about. These Manolo's you see above, are the same exact model on Sex and the City. I lusted over those shoes but noway could I pay 500 on my budget. I got them for 150 on Therealreal.com Yep these were just worn once or twice. Now I know some of you will say that is a lot on a pair of shoes. Well these are also my only silver shoe. Instead of paying very little for many shoes. I just limited the amount of shoes I have and I get designer shoes. So the way I think about it is this one pair of designer shoe is the same as getting 5 pairs of heels at 30 dollars. Manolo Eye Candy and you are so welcome!  This is how I view a...

Since this is my first entry I figure I would start the New Year off with my goals/resolutions for the year. Writing these down will give life and accountability to my hopes in 2018. I hope you comment below with what you are going to accomplish in the new year. This isn’t a wish list this is a do list. I. Start a Blog  I really want to start a blog that empowers women. I want to inspire, coach, and really get you thinking about what your passions are. What you would like to be doing. I personally have always looked up to woman entrepreneurs and influencers and think I wish I could do that. Wait why can’t I do that? No more maybe. It starts now. Why not me? So ask yourself the same. Why not you? II Saving/Investing  Saving and Investing more. I have a retirement account and savings but have not really put the 15% away that I should. So this year I am getting serious about saving for the future. I opened up an Acorn and Robinhood account and started i...
