December 27th, 2010  Laptop Backpack  Looking for a great travel or pool bag at a good price? Check out the selection from Vera Bradley, where they have just reduced prices by up to 40% on some of their most popular new fabrics and designs.
Traveling through security checkpoints en route to your tropical vacation requires both hands free and then some! Backpacks are popular travel bags because they aren’t forever slipping off your shoulder like totes so often do. Vera Bradley offers three great styles of backpacks in a great assortment of styles and colors.
My favorite Vera Bradley backpack style is the Laptop Backpack. It measures 11½” x 15¾” x 7″ with 28½” adjustable straps. Fabulous color meets functionality in this travel-friendly bag, capable of housing all of your in-flight essentials and more. Slots and slip pockets keep passports and tickets, as well as other odds and ends, in place in this essential for today’s busy lifestyle.
 Miller Bag One of my all-time travel favorites, the Miller Bag proves you can take it all with you (and stay organized). Six roomy interior pockets, one outside pocket, sturdy base for stability, and zip closure. This awesome tote measures 24″ x 13½” x 8″ –13″ with a 13″ strap drop. Six interior pockets and one outside pocket. Sturdy fabric covered base. Keeps everything organized and in sight. Absolute perfection as a beach bag, carry-on, gym or weekend bag.
 Pleated Tote The Pleated Tote measures 14¾” x 14″ x 5¼” with a 10½” strap drop. Pleats make a strong fashion statement, especially when featured on this versatile bag! Larger than their regular Tote, this one also zips closed for added security. A dropped yoke provides a slight dip at the arm for comfort. Two wrap around exterior pockets hold larger items, while four interior compartments will keep you well organized.

December 21st, 2010  Everybody knows that I’m a warm weather kind of girl. I’m not a rain, snow, or sleet kind of girl at all. Yet for some reason I desperately want a pair of adorably simple Hunter boots and Welly Socks. And I want them now. I didn’t even know Welly Socks Warmers existed until about 5 minutes ago! And now I can’t help but wonder where they have been all my life! This is what I get for browsing online late at night…. How cute and cozy do these look? Now I just need to decide which color(s) to buy!
Maybe I can’t have them right now, but thanks to the folks at Zappos, I can have them by tomorrow – and shipping is free.
December 14th, 2010  I have been looking at white watches for MONTHS! I tried to resist, really I did. I looked at everything under the sun: ceramic, resin, plaster, ‘plasteramic’, jelly band, etc. Price points ranged from under $100 to well over $1,000.
Believe it or not, the watch I ended up buying is a $22
Geneva watch with silicone band . I absolutely adore it!
I was worried the crystals would fall out, but I have been wearing it for months now and not one scratch or mark anywhere on the watch.
The silicone band watch with crystals is the hottest style right now and is available in a ton of fun colors as well as the basics (white, black, brown, etc.). The Geneva silicone band watches are available with either gold-tone and silver-tone accents. These watches are inexpensive enough that I won’t feel guilty splurging on one or two additional in fun colors like purple, pink, or green to match a special outfit.
If you would rather spend a couple of hundred dollars on the exact Toy Watch that Sandra Bullock wore in ‘The Blind Side’, by all means, go ahead. But if you would rather save some of that $ towards a fun vacation (me, me!) but still want something fun and functional, the Geneva is the perfect watch for you.
You can see the entire collection at Overstock.com. Take advantage of their free shipping today! Order by December 20th for free delivery in time for Christmas.

December 1st, 2010  I seem to love anything UGG with sheepskin soles, so how could I resist this flip flop? When it’s a little chilly outside but I’m still in the mood for flip flops, the Fluffie from UGG Australia is my go-to shoe. They are cozy, comfy and easy to wear. Perfect for wintertime pedicures, too!
I own two pairs of Fluffie flip-flops: chestnut and gold. Alas, the gold has been discontinued and is super hard to find, but the chestnut are still available.

November 30th, 2010  I’ve always dreamed of spending the holidays on a tropical island. Until I get there, I’ve been bringing the island to me with flip flop holiday decor. I’ve purchased multiple strands of flip-flop party lights, but this green and red holiday set is about the cutest I’ve seen.
