Ozeal Radiant Orchid Prescription Eyeglasses

Pantone has declared Radiant Orchid the color of the year which is awesome for purple lovers like me. I was super excited to see the selection of purple Prescription Eyeglasses on OzealGlasses.com. I picked the Ajeya Medium Orchid Stripe after uploading a photo of myself and doing a virtual try on. The base price with single vision lenses and anti-scratch coating was $39.95. This would be the same price if you do not need prescription lenses.

Sawgrass Mills Spring Shopping Spree

Sawgrass Mills Spring Shopping Spree

I can remember going to the Sawgrass Mills Outlet Mall for the first time when I was in high school and living in Stuart, Florida almost 2 hours north of the mega outlet mall. I spent hours shopping and checking out my favorite brands. Back then, I was a huge Gap and Banana Republic fan. I remember my experiences shopping there very fondly. When Sawgrass Mills contacted me to put together an outfit for then, I jumped at the chance. When I say, I was jumping; I was literally jumping up and down with excitement to go shopping at Sawgrass Mills.

Three Reasons To Invest in Prescription Sunglasses Before Summer

Three Reasons To Invest in Prescription Sunglasses Before Summer 

Many people are guilty of leaving their eyes exposed to the sun too frequently, and people who wear glasses or contacts are no exception. In fact, since these lenses often have anti-UV coating or light tinting, it can be especially easy for people wearing them to forget that they are exposing their eyes to harmful radiation. One of the easiest ways that people with vision problems can start protecting their eyes is by upgrading to a pair of prescription sunglasses, which is worth the money for numerous reasons.

There’s Such a Lot of World to See

“…There’s Such a Lot of World to See…”-Audrey Hepburn

Samples were provided by HICustom for review purposes. All opinions are 100% my own.

I have been playing around with the customizing site HICustom for a while now trying to figure out what I wanted to make. They have some amazing ideas on the site, but I wanted to be original. I decided to go with the new quote that I am using for April Golightly. It is a quote from Breakfast at Tiffany’s when Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly is singing Moon River for the first time.

Karina Dresses

I received a sample of the product for review purposes. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

I had a few friends recommend Karina dresses to me in the past few months and I finally got around to contacting the company to see if we could work together. They said yes and pretty much the next day the dress was in my mail box. The shipping was so fast which is a huge plus when you need something ASAP. Since receiving the dress, I have worn it 4 times! That never happens to me because my clothes are rarely comfortable and cute.

Steal their Style: My 3 New Style Crushes for Spring

Steal their Style: My 3 New Style Crushes for Spring

Katie is a foodie and self-confessed fashion junkie who blogs about trends, travel and trying to find the perfect cake recipes.

Celebrities are often wearing next season’s styles before I’ve even thought about updating my wardrobe this season. And, given that the big-name designers want them to showcase their new creations, it’s no wonder that I often find myself coveting what some of the world’s stage, screen and music stars are wearing. Here are just a few of the styles I’ve been inspired by for spring:

Delray Beach Open by The Venetian® Las Vegas

Delray Beach Open by The Venetian® Las Vegas

A few weeks ago I attended the Delray Beach Open by The Venetian® Las Vegas. It is a 10-day tennis tournament with all star players, DJ booths, out of the box events all over Downtown Delray Beach. This is not your typical tournament! Since my schedule is packed with baby time, I was only able to attend the Ladies Luncheon and only one game. I would have been at all of them, if given the chance! Until recently, I had no idea that there was a tennis stadium in Downtown Delray! It makes me love the area even more!
