April 21st // Comment Here

I know, the last thing you want to think about right now is your coat for next winter, but hear me out! Now is the time to get these essentials—puffer vests, heavy cardigans, etc—for a huge discount. I was just on Express and all of the items my husband has had his eye on since fall are marked down 50%! There are still tons of sizes left, so my suggestion…hurry! Here are a few items that I was checking out that are great items to pick-up now at ultra-low prices! Shop Express now to save!

Nylon puffer vest: was $88, now $49.99 at Express

Nylon puffer coat: was $178, now $79.99 at Express

Lots of love,

Trends and News – Do Headbands Equal Coolness?

April 20th // Comment Here

Headbands have become quite the phenomenon as of late, and though I will never go near the kind you wear across your forehead—Flashdance is a look I’d like to forget!—I’m kind of intrigued by some of the small, prettier styles. But I’m worried this might be a trend reserved for high schoolers and young Hollywood. Here are a few of the styles I like. What do you think? Can I pull them off?
