Kristin Cavallari’s Gold Gustto Bag

Kristin Cavallari was spotted grabbing a bite to eat at Madeo in Los Angeles recently - and forget the gold card, Kristin had a gold BAG with her, a metallic style from Gustto. This particular handbag is the Gustto Rosa bag in shimmery gold, and sadly it's not yet available for the rest of us - darn these celebrities for getting the Fall line early! However, you can mimic Kristin's style fairly easily with Gustto's extensive collection.

Lattice Lace Veil by Veiled Beauty

Don't let anyone tell you that wearing a veil is old-fashioned. Well, maybe it is a little old-fashioned, but in a good way, which we don't call old fashioned. Call it retro. Or traditional. In any case, a veil is a work of art. It frames your face, showcases your hair, neck, and decollete, and adds a sheer, sweet, feminine touch to a wedding ensemble. It isn't obligatory, but it can be beautiful. I'm really stuck on this lattice lace veil by Veiled Beauty. The length is just exactly right for wearing with a frontal updo, as in the picture. And ...

Eat Healthy with Refreshing Summer Treats

July is National Ice Cream month, and with warm weather, Independence Day celebrations, lots of picnics and other outdoor events, it would be tempting to enjoy ice cream all month long. And the darn ice cream truck that drives through the neighborhood, with its trilling lilt of music, tries to tempt as well. Of course, we all know what eating ice cream all month long would do our swimsuit fit, so we’re going to have to choose our ice cream moments with care.

Fun Hats for Your July Fourth Party

Fourth of July is one of the best holidays to spend outside. Summer is in full swing and it's the absolute perfect time for barbecues and watching fireworks decorating the night sky. If you are, like most Americans, spending your Independence Day outdoors, then make sure to wear a festive hat that protects your skin and looks fashionable. Here are some of my favorite summer floppy hats that would be perfect for Fourth of July in vibrant red, white, and blue: [caption id="attachment_33626" align="aligncenter" width="224" caption="Image: Anthropologie"][/caption] Anthropologie Swirling Winds Hat $58 This bright red and white striped raffia hat with angled stripes is ...

Charlotte Russe Patent T-Strap Pumps

If you are looking for a pair of red pumps like me then you might probably like this red patent t-strap pumps from Charlotte Russe. I know I do. Details include faux leather patent, peep-toe, t-strap and buckled ankle strap standing tall in a 4 1/2 inches heels. Woohoo. It’s a covered platform though so it wouldn’t be that hard to walk into compare to stilettos.

Why I Liked Confessions of a Shopaholic

I had the chance to watch the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic on my last flight. This isn’t a movie that’s going to change the world, and it doesn’t pretend to be. It’s just light-hearted and fun, so don’t take it all too seriously. Here’s why I enjoyed it:
