Acrylic Monogrammed Jewelry by Vita Bravo
I stumbled upon Vita Bravo on Etsy the other day and found they have great options for acrylic monogrammed jewelry pieces for a fraction of the price (compared to others I have seen in the past). Vita Bravo provides their customers with a jewelry design that that combines natural healthy mineral stones with personalization and a price that can fit any budget and any demand all at the same time! Here are some of the pieces I loved! (P.S you have 13 colors to choose from, and all their monograms are about 1.25 inches big and comes with a 18' gold or silver chain)

The Rabbit Hole

Earlier this month I found The Rabbit Hole on Etsy and I could not say no to their Lilly Pulitzer checkbook cover. I know writing checks is extremely old school, but the checkbook cover was a great add-on because it not only protects my checks and my account log, but it makes checks 10x more appealing to carry around.
Based out of Texas, The Rabbit Hole provides customers with checkbook covers, passport covers, luggage tags, and mini wallets in various prints and designs. I love the design and quality of my checkbook cover, but there are so many design options and customization options that it made it difficult for me to choose just one! Here is the cover I chose, featured in White Zin ($6.25).
Here are some other adorable options:
This purchase was my very first Etsy purchase, and it was a great experience. Susan, the owner followed up with me right after my purchase, and had the checkbook cover mailed to me within a few days (PLUS the cover came wrapped in green and the enveloped was sealed with pink tape!).

I'm Employed!
Today at approximately 6:08 pm (not to be exact or anything...) I received a call that made all my fears of growing old in the streets with a useless degree and a bunch of cats fly away, and I am officially employed and a working woman!
Here are some posts I found from my fellow bloggers that highlight some great working girl outfits and accessories!
Here is a classic professional outfit that was very similar to the the outfit I wore to my final interview!

What are some essential items you have in your wardrobe for the corporate world?
A Guide to Summer Concerts.
With the first day of summer just a few days ago, the start of the summer concert season has already begun. Concert going is always at it's prime during the summer season because the beautiful sunny weather and longer days puts everyone in the right mood. I have had some of my best memories with my friends and family at concerts.
When going to concerts it is important to remember to wear the right outfit. Something that is comfortable and cute. With the beautiful sunny season wearing bright colors is a great option (and it helps you from getting lost from your own crowd!). A cross body bag is a necessity, it allows you to maneuver around the mass amounts of people easier and keeps your hands free while you sing-a-long to your favorite song. As for accessories... keep it simple, a watch to tell the time (minimizes the amount of times you have to pull out your phone), one piece of statement jewelry (necklace or bracelet take your pick!) AND don't forget your sunglasses!
With summer concerts comes the best tailgates. Don't leave home without these tailgating essentials!
This summer I have already been to two concerts! Zac Brown Band at Merriweather Post Pavillion with NBT and Dave Matthew's Band at Jiffy Lube Live with my cousin AN & her boyfriend GM as well as my lovebug DA and our friends JT, CB, and JM. Here are some photos of my outfits & our tailgating supplies.
What are some of your concert essentials? What are some concerts you plan on attending this summer?
Hope everyone has a fabulous Friday! Stay Classy & Fabulous!

Lilly Pulitzer Spring 2012 Warehouse Sale: RECAP!
After a long away weekend away, I am finally back to recap on my Lilly Pulitzer Warehouse Sale adventures! I had a great few days with my beautiful sorority sisters LTN, CMD and CPM. We all made our way up to Southern New Jersey safe and sound on Wednesday afternoon. After a late night filled with catching up, we managed to roll out of bed and head over to the Lilly sale at 2:30 AM! The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center was a frenzy filled with Lilly Lovers from all over!
As usual for Warehouse sales we waited in line until shopping began at 5:00 AM. This time around since we made it to the sale right on opening day, it was a madhouse compared to the Winter Warehouse sale. It was truly a competition to get items, especially the extremely popular sample sale items that go for a fraction of the original prices. Since LTN, CMD, CPM and I were obviously rookies of the "grab anything and everything you can get with a pink tag on it" method of attack, it took us a few minutes to really begin our shopping.
After 7 hours of grabbing, sorting, fighting off vultures and changing in the middle of a warehouse, I managed to walk out of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center a little bit stronger and a happier girl, carrying a nice brown bag filled of new wardrobe additions with my head held high because I had just conquered the Spring Lilly Pulitzer sale. Check out what I brought home below!
Clothes
1. Vicki Dress featured in Black
2. Bernadetta Dress featured in Resort White Powder Puff Embroidery
3. Connell Sweater featured in Turquoise Coral Cascade
Accessories
1. Resort Chic Wedge featured in Gold
2. McKim Sandel featured in Daiquiri Pink
3. Coral Hinged Bracelet featured in Gold Metallic Sea Coral
4. Critter Earrings featured in Lillys Pink Cherry Blossom
5. Florida's Natural Tie
6. Glam It Up Clutch featured in Gold Metallic Coral
I also stumbled upon some fabulous posts from fellow bloggers about their finds at this years Lilly Warehouse sale, check them out below!

If you attended this years sale, what day did you go on & what did you bring home?
Stay Classy & Fabulous!

A Lilly Pulitzer Weekend - Spring 2012 Warehouse Sale
The day is finally here! I've been looking forward to making the treck up to King of Prussia, Pennsylvania again for the Lilly Pulitzer Spring 2012 Warehouse sale. I was lucky enough to have made the trip with one of my besties LTN during the winter for their Holiday/Resort Warehouse sale and it was amazing! This time around LTN will be joining me again as well as CMD and CPM. This time I hope we are getting there early enough to snag some cute accessories (last time they sold out on the first day!) I am also looking to hopefully find a cute dress or two and some fun shorts and skirts for the summer.
Here are some of the items I snagged last time! I loved having such a variety of dresses throughout the rest of my school year especially because the weather started getting a lot warmer. My splurge last year was the bright pink tube top dress which I wore to my sorority formal. I walked away with 5 dresses last year for less than $300!
So today embarks my weekend adventure! I will be heading up to Southern New Jersey today and staying at CPM's house for the night. Then we plan to head over to Pennsylvania tomorrow morning at around let's say 3 o'clock AM. In lieu of the Lilly weekend I decided to swing by the Lilly Pulitzer signature store Pink Palm in McLean, Virginia earlier this week. I had never been to this Pink Palm before so it was great to see how their store varied from the one in Charlottesville as well as Richmond. I walked away with the Insulated Cooler Bag featured in Scarlet Begonia.
For such a short trip I decided to pack light, and the Lilly Pulitzer cooler bag was the perfect weekend getaway bag. It was big enough just to hold all the clothes I needed for the next couple of days. The bright fun color (in one of my all time favorite prints) and the waterproof inside and outside makes this bag a summer essential. I can't wait to take it to the beach with me very soon!
AND for those who know me my Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag is essential for every trip I take. It always carries all of my makeup, shampoo, lotions, etc. This time around I had enough room to squeeze in my Lilly Pulitzer planner and my iPad.
Who else will be making the trip to the Spring Warehouse sale? & if you are going, what do you hope to find?
Hope everyone has a great end of the week! Stay tuned for the great finds I bring home from King of Prussia! Stay classy & fabulous <3
