Heads up for fans of bohemian style accents. Gilt.com just opened a sale one-of-a-kind throws and pillows from vintage kantha pieces. Kantha is a type of embroidered fabric made from saris stitched together by hand and found in parts of SE Asia. These pieces are from Taj Hotel Design Concepts. The hand stitched 50″x60″ throws…
I subscribe to a monthly shipment from Stitch Fix, an online personal shopping service. Women who try the service create their own custom profile so that they can try new wardrobe additions to fit their lifestyle, figure, and needs. September was box #5 for me. Through my first four boxes, I kept a total of…
Me, champagne, Saturday night shopping? What could possibly be wrong with that picture? Nothing… except my ability to find plenty of things I want (but don’t really need). Like this t-shirt from Anthropologie…. $48 for a t-shirt is a bit steep in my book (even if it does earn me 4 miles per dollar with…
It’s time for another Birchbox OR Ipsy square off. Both services offer a monthly $10 membership where subscribers receive a selection of beauty product samples that is customized (somewhat) based on personal preferences. Birchbox comes in its namesake box while Ipsy’s Glam Bag is a limited edition cosmetic bag each month. Each month, I review “the box” versus…
Nothing can get a group of frequent business travelers more excited than talking about luggage. And nothing gets this jetsetting diva more excited than Tumi luggage. Unless it’s Tumi luggage ON SALE. Let me catch my breath from the jumping up and down I’ve been doing for the past few minutes. Gilt.com has my favorite luggage…
We just hit autumn and its already only 93 days until Christmas (and 84 to Hanukkah). That means I’m actively on the hunt for great gifts for this year. While some of you are huddled in sleeping bags outside your local big box store or sleeping off a turkey coma in front of a Thanksgiving Day football…
Occasionally I stumble across ways of earning miles that are so easy that I wonder how I could have ever missed them. Thanks Again is one of those programs. The website allows users to register credit cards and then receive miles any time a registered card is used at a participating merchant. I found out…
I was doing a bit of online reading shopping while getting my hair done this morning and stumbled across a great personalization website with some nice sales too. Clairebella lured me in with an offer of a cute keychain with free personalization. As a bonfide GRIT (“girl raised in Texas”) I’m all about monogrammed anything,…
The signature Stitch Fix style profile just got a facelift. Over the past few weeks, the company has updated some of their questions and rejuvenated the photo selections for customers. I stumbled upon this accidentally while checking on the schedule for my next box, so if you have a Stitch Fix style profile saved already…
I love to accessorize. And I hate to pack accessories for a trip because I love to have a great look for every outfit without hauling tons of options with me. I tried being the “simple” gal who just packed a classic necklace and a couple of earrings, but that’s just NOT me. I like…
Jay Z sings about “big pimping, spending G’s” and I’m pretty sure he’s talking about something different than credit card links. Still, its hard not to read the roll of travel blogs out there some days and feel like everyone is pimping something and that everyone is spend spend spendy spend spending in a grand…
I’ve seen a new tool popping up recently in my social media feed – a Leatherman-style hair barrette for women that boasts several tool functions for $10. And I’m also wondering will this get through airport security these days? And if not, have we now created a new subclass of items – women’s accessories – for…
