How to Wear Vests

February 22, 2016July 29, 2013

Learning how to wear vests is a great way to add some spice to your wardrobe. Vests were originally only worn by men, but why let them have all the fun with their waist coats!

1. Wear Vests to Spice up Jeans. Start with the all American uniform of jeans and a white t-shirt or white tank top. The jeans can be any cut that flatters you. In my outfit, I chose to wear polka dot skinny jeans and a white tank. I accented with some color by adding teal pumps, watch, and sunglasses. You can accent with your favorite color accessories or just go neutral. In summer, I would add color, but in winter I would go with neutrals like black, brown or gray.

Fashionable Phones from Best Buy Mobile Stores

February 22, 2016July 22, 2013

Fashionable Phones is the ultimate way to make a statement every time you take a phone call. The phones can be fashionable on their own and then the cases available are even more awesome. This week the whole family went to Best Buy to check out the trade in value for our old phones. My mom has the original Galaxy with the slide keyboard which has a trade in value of $20 and $25 if she brought the charger with her, my sister has 4GS which has a trade in value of $170, and my hubby has an iPhone 5 which he’s not willing to trade in yet. He does however want the new Samsung Galaxy Note! It’s too big for me! We are all trying to get on the same service to save some money. Best Buy allows you to trade in your old phone, get up to $200 back at Best Buy Mobile specialty stores. Find a store near you: Best Buy Mobile. I had no idea they did this EVERYDAY!!!

Diaper Bag Checklist

February 22, 2016July 19, 2013

As a new mother and self-proclaimed fashionista, I have been shopping for a diaper bag since I found out I was pregnant. I bought a Kate Spade Polka Dot diaper bag, was given the Coach Bag pictured below by my dad, and was give a red bowler by Lassig. My husband received a manly diaper bag by Skip Hop at the shower from some friends. I think this covers me for all my diaper bag needs. Luckily, they are all cute enough to be worn again as regular bags. The Kate Spade bag is the largest and could easily fit all the stuff listed on my diaper bag check list. If I am going to be out all day, I will be taking the Kate Spade diaper bag, but if I only going to be out for a few hours, I can use the Coach or the Lassig bag. As you can see from my check list, the longer you will be out, the more diapers and stuff you will need.
