As in her outerwear is on sale at ideeli! And I need a new coat. That, my friends, is known as kismet. Betsey’s coats are embellished with fabulously feminine accents, such as bow backs, heart snap-buttons, and flirty zipper charms. Le sigh. I’m so there.

In case you missed my posts last week, Betsey Johnson is my all-time favorite designer.
She’s actually the favorite of many, and that’s why I feel it’s my duty to share she’s having a sale!
Right now, if you use coupon code BIGSPEND200, you will get $75 on orders of $200, BIGSPEND300 to save $125 on orders of $300, and BIGSPEND400 to save $200 on orders of $400 or more.

And that is why, it’s among the best pieces of news ever that tomorrow…as in less than 24 hours from now, I shall be attending a black-tie event hosted by The National Arts Club during which they will be presenting Betsey Johnson with The Fashion Committee’s Medal of Honor for Lifetime Achievement.
Betsey Johnson is one of my favorite designers – and has largely influenced my style – and for that reason, I want to dress in a way that pays tribute to her distinctive style while at an event honoring her.
Browsing about, I discovered a hidden treasure – today …read more

Betsey Johnson’s Betseyville line offers colorful shoes, handbags and other items in fantastic prints. This gingham-print nylon tote is a fabulous choice from the collection. Featuring a floral design over pink and white gingham, this bag definitely is girly.
The “Betsey’s Sweetheart” tote is accented with heart button details and gold trim. It’s certainly a “busy” looking bag but it’s adorable nonetheless. It’s perfect for summertime because it’s big enough to carry everything you need.
This hobo shaped tote is 17 inches wide and 12 inches tall. It has a zippered pocket both inside and out. This Betseyville Tote is available right …read more

Spring is here, and when updating our shoe collection florals and citrus shades are must-have mainstays.
I’ve always been a big fan of Betsey Johnson, and I love the Action Floral Print Pump Action Floral Print Pump from her Betseyville line, available at SmartBargains.com for around $50.
The yellow fabric in a peep-toe is quintessential spring style. I’d draw out those red florals by pairing with a red dress!

I’m about to skip town for a few days – it’s a hard life and work has me flying off to Ojai, California for a few days.
I’m a historically overzealous packer. Like, to the point of ridiculousness. And thus, despite the fact that I will only be there for three days, look at all I am carrying with me!
I’ve been intrigued by hard-case luggage for a while, and finally found the perfect unit to start my collection. The Heys USA Xcase 20-inch is perfect for a long weekend and is super lightweight too. Plus, and this was a mind-decider …read more

I am generally not a fan of watches…I sort of see them as pendulum-carrying shackles in attractive designs.
However, sometimes designs are SO cute that even I cannot resist.
Check out my new wrist candy, the Betsey Johnson A Go-Go Black Crystal Heart Watch, available at SmartBargains.com for a very sexy $59.99 (it retails for about $125 elsewhere on the net!).
The black, heart-studded resin bangle with bangle clasp is very rock star, while the heart-shaped bezel is deliciously sweet and romantic. It’s not so easy to find a watch that so awesomely describes the very duality of my soul, but this one …read more

If I hadn’t told you the designer of this watch, would you have guessed?? My guess is that you would have figured it out in mere seconds just by the case that it is featured in. Now is that Betsey Johnson or what?? And wouldn’t that watch be perfect for the upcoming Christmas parties. Yes, it’s going to be here before you know it!

This week the spotlight is on Betsey Johnson. I remember reading an article about her a year or so ago about her fondness for chandeliers. Okay, I think that we would take it a little beyond a fondness for chandeliers. She has at least one in every room and if I’m not mistaken, one of the rooms had three.  At the moment, I don’t think that I even have one! We have replaced just about every light fixture in the house, but no room seemed to call out for a chandelier. Hmmm, just might have to take a walk around …read more
