A Few of My Favorite Things – Midyear Mashup
Cents of Style
Shoes, bags, hair accessories and jewelry at a great price. They only have an online shop, so YES, anyone can purchase from them. Something to keep in mind is that their styles move fast because they’re always carrying the trendiest fashions, so if you want something, snag it up quick… especially shoes, I swear EVERYONE is a size 8! ack!
Wrist Soiree
Lakeitha not only has an amazing eye for home decorating, but awesome, one of a kind jewelry too! Her shop, Wrist Soiree, has become one of my favorites! She’s always coming up with new designs and even takes polls from people on Instagram asking what they want to see in her store, I love that! One of my favorite “everyday” gold chain necklaces is from her, and this new blingy Amelia bracelet is TO DIE FOR! … yes, she sells it in PINK too! thankyouverymuch.
NS Minerals Makeup
Just a few days ago I had a little guest spot on our local morning show where I talked about some of my favorite home decor trends for this year. The same day I met Janelle, who did a segment on her awesome NS minerals makeup, and she was nice enough to give me some to try at home. Typically I veer away from powder only foundation, because I have dry skin, but I actually really liked this brand. You’ll have to watch her segment to see why it’s different, and I should have taken a picture so you could see what it looked like on me, but I totally forgot. Just know that it was super quick, easy and had a lot better coverage (I thought) compared to a few other mineral foundations I’ve tried in the past.
Right now, through the end of the month you can get a voucher for 50% off of anything in her store by going through And Ruby and making a purchase there.
Style Lately
I know I mentioned them before in one of my other favorite things round-ups, but I just had to give them another shout out real quick, because recently they’ve also been carrying some home decor awesomeness as WELL as clothing and jewelry. Pillows, prints, planters and other fun things are what I’d keep an eye out for if I were you.
Camera Wrist Strap + Sew-Crafty Kids.com
Instagram is so awesome. You meet all kinds of new people and make great connections. I originally met Angelina from JoJo and Eloise on Instagram, but then actually had the chance to meet her in real life this past year at the Snap conference. She makes the most amazingly sweet, beautiful fabric flower clusters, and occasionally sells them via her Instagram feed. I mentioned to her that camera neck straps bother me, but having nothing as a safety net when taking pictures freaks me out. I suggested a wrist strap of some sort, and was thrilled when I saw a couple of these babies on her Instagram feed a few weeks later!
PB Salt & Pepper Shaker –
Me: (while walking through Pottery Barn with Cason on a date) “Oh look, It’s like an old fashioned ridiculously adorable silver phone trinket thingy, so cute!”
Him: “Oh yeah, that’s cool.”
Me: (as I examine the piece closer) **GASP!!!** “AND it’s a Salt and Pepper shaker, WHAT THE?!!!”
Him: “Oh gosh, here it comes…”
Me: “Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” (and jumping… there’s always a little bit of jumping)
Sometimes purchases don’t make sense, mostly because you really just don’t “neeeed” them… but then it’s like, you do. Ya know?
Jalapeno Pop Chips & Cocoa Roast Almonds
My healthy treat obsessions lately. That’s all.
External iPhone Charger
I need a new phone. My iPhone 4 is on it’s last leg, but I can’t do my free upgrade till December. Ugh. (don’t even get me started). One of my biggest pet peeves is that my battery doesn’t stay charged as long as it used to, so I went on the hunt for a good external battery that I could carry with me, in case I needed a little more juice in my phone, until I got to my car or back home.
This 2200mAh from Mini in the Box has been awwwwesome! I’ve used it 2 or 3 times in the past couple of days and it’s fully charged my phone from almost dead each time, without a problem. AND I haven’t recharged the battery itself yet (although I think it’s about time).
Sometimes you can find these external batteries on deal-a-day sites as well, so keep your eye out, they might be cheaper there.
