Fruits of my Labor Via Kitsy Lane

Fruits of my Labor Via Kitsy Lane

Even though, I am a total retail addict (not that you didn't know that from the title of my blog) the split in my personality is spending money.  Seriously, it is a strange situation to deal with.  The emotional side of me screams, "gimme, gimme, GIMME! American Express be damned!", while the more logical side of me calculates all the cost benefits and upcoming bills I will have to pay.

Since the more rational side of me prevails, I have made a pact with myself to only spend on baubles and new fits when I make extra money.  Meaning, I recently had a few sales from my Kitsy Lane boutique (thank you lovelies! Send me pics of you in your new baubles!), I paid all my bills, AND got an awesome offer for being a Kitsy Lane Boutique owner, now it's time to buy myself a jewelry piece and a chai latte!  Hooray for me!

So this is what I bought, the Shelley Necklace!

Isn't she lovely?!  She's cute and reminds me of the beach...where I would rather be right about now.

Cate & Chloe Review Part Deaux

Cate & Chloe Review Part Deaux

Happy Monday Shoppers!  If you caught my first Cate & Chloe review (you can read it here), you already know I am totally gaga for Cate & Chloe's jewelry pieces.  Just incase you missed my original Cate & Chloe review (and are too lazy to click on the link) here is more about them from their website:

"The visionaries of Cate & Chloe began the company with one simple clear concept in mind: to create stylish yet affordable jewelry women could wear every day. In the fast paced world we all live in it is often times hard to find time or money to have that perfect jewelry piece or accessory for that special occasion or just simply to wear confidently around town. Most importantly the visionaries wanted to ensure that every piece is hand selected to ensure it meets the standards of the C&C vision for stylish design.

Inspired by their favorite designers, the creators of Cate & Chloe wanted simple, versatile, elegant pieces that would complete every woman’s personal collection. After experiencing life in the working world, they found there was little time to let their inner fashion guru shine! They wanted to create an easy place for young professionals to find classic, timeless accessories that would add a little glamour to an everyday look. Since the inception of Cate & Chloe, the visionaries have continued to strive for the highest level of quality, innovation, and timeless designs to ensure its avid followers are able to flaunt C&C pieces from the Red Carpet to the office!"

I promise you, this isn't just a fluff statement.  I went totally gaga over Cate & Chloe's Layla Beauty Pendent Necklace (and so did my friends, family, husband, frienemies and that annoying, yet sweet lady at the supermarket).  With the second piece I was shipped as part of the VIP membership *details to come* I did not know how they could compete with Layla Beauty Pendent Necklace. When I received the second Cate & Chloe package, of course, I tore through the adorable packaging with reckless abandon like a child on Christmas morning.  However, in the back of mind I was thinking, nothing could ever top my absolute adoration of the Layla Beauty Pendent Necklace. Nothing!  Then I opened the jewelry box.

These little beauties are what awaited me.  I stared at the sparkling earrings and thought to myself...I am going to rock these to the blogger event at Plush!  All those insanely beautiful and fashionable bloggers are going to envy my bright, brilliant, glowing, shining, shimmering Olivia Dignity Stud Earrings! (And Layla Beauty Pendent Necklace) Take that perfect bloggers with million of followers!  I will have my moment!

You're not ready for my moment to shine :)

All jokes aside, besides the exquisite beauty of the pieces, the other wonderful thing (especially for your wallets and budgets) is that the Layla Beauty Pendent Necklace is $115 and the gorgeous Olivia Dignity Studs are $125, BUT with the Cate & Chloe VIP Membership, you would get both (and other envy invoking pieces every month) for only $39.99!!!!  I don't know if you read that correctly.  With the Cate & Chloe VIP Membership you will receive two high quality, stylish, gorgeous pieces with a retail value of about $200 every month for $39.99.

Cate & Chloe VIP Membership

Cate & Chloe VIP Membership

In case you were not aware, being a fashion/beauty/mommy/crazy woman in the woods blogger is awesome.  You are allowed to be creative, build these cyber communities that sometimes develop into real life relationships, sometimes get paid and you get to try amazing products.  Yes, the amazing products...and I loooooove stuff. (Hence the title of my blog)

Mind you, I absolutely adore most of the products I am sent... ADORE THEM! (In other words, please keep 'em coming) but I must admit, I seriously was awestruck when I received Cate & Chloe's (www.cateandchloe.com) VIP Jewelry Box.  For me to be so gaga over the jewelry piece is phenomenal in itself because, I am like Elizabeth Taylor when it comes to baubles!  I strongly believe that "big girls need big diamonds"...and rubies, sapphires, gold, platinum, silver, jade, garnets, onyx, garnets, sterling silver, gold plate...basically any shiny, ornate thing for your body (smile). I have champagne taste...with beer money (but that's another story entirely).  Fortunately, Cate & Chloe fits my taste and my budget!

Cate & Chloe is an online jewelry boutique that offers stylish (yet affordable) designer earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings.  C&C is known for high quality accessories and has been featured on Good Morning America, ABC, The Price is Right, CBS, and the Daily Buzz.  Needless to say, I was ecstatic to review their VIP membership, and the necklace I received far exceeded my expectations.

The first thing I noticed was the Cate & Chloe package comes beautifully wrapped.  The package has adorable ribbons with coordinating tissue paper, along with a hand written envelope, and cards that describe the VIP membership and information about your particular piece.  I spent so much time just looking at the packaging and contents because it was so pretty!  It really added to the excitement of receiving new jewelry!

The piece I received was the Layla Beauty Pendent Necklace.  And isn't it a beauty?  I sent the hubby and my BFF (the Makeup Misfit read her post here: http://www.iheartretailtherapy.com/2014/01/adventures-of-makeup-misfit.html) a picture of the pendent and the both had the exact same reaction..."DAMN"!  (In a good way)  Of course, my poet friend followed up her expletive by waxing poetic on the beauty and elegance of the pendent, the hubby, on the other hand,  is not quite as articulate.  He was very impressed, nonetheless.

The piece is absolutely stunning.  When I was asked to review Cate & Chloe's VIP membership, I knew I would love the piece, I mean, I love jewelry...but I was blown away by the style and the quality of the piece.  The quality is impeccable!  (It has survived my one year old daughters surprisingly strong snatch and grabs, as well as her chewing!)  The Layla pendent retails for $115, however,  with the VIP membership for $39.99 I will be shipped two(!) quality pieces (one every 15 days) like the Layla Beauty Pendent.  If that isn't an amazing deal, I don't know what is.

Friday Flash Sale Inspired by Marni Senofonte

Friday Flash Sale Inspired by Marni Senofonte

Lately, I have totally been style crushing on Marni Senofonte.  If you have no idea who she is, shame on you!  But no worries, tomorrow she is my Style Icon of the Week, so you can learn all about her and get some fashion about yourself!

Briefly, Marni Senofonte is a celeb stylist guru and has styled everyone from Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Alicia Keys, Cassie, Monica, Brandy, Diddy, Nas, Ciara, the Kardashians, Mary J Blige...and the list goes on and on! Anybody who is anybody goes to Marni for her custom stylings.  She has also styled numerous designer collections and shows, as well as photoshoots and most recently videos for Queen Bey's last album, "Beyonce".

Marni is so amazingly stylish! I have been following her on instagram for quite a while, and her IG account is, by far, my favorite.  I swear it's a fashiongasm with each new pic! Marni's style is all about layers, incorporating classics and trends, pops of color everywhere, while mixing textures, metals and fabrics.

Yeah, I'm a total IG stalker...you can IG stalk her too @marnixmarni 

Ms. Marni's style is so phenomenal, her accessory game inspired this weeks Friday Flash Sale! Mixed metals, statement pieces with a trendy take on the classics, numerous layers, and of course plenty of bling!  Ms. Marni is really into Lorraine Schwartz pieces, but you can get the look without the Bergdorf prices!

(To get shopping click on the pics, or click on the jewelry boutique tab above or go to www.iheartretailtherapy.kitsylane.com)

All of these pieces embody Marni's style and eye for bold statement jewelry. Take a lesson from Marni's style and pair these statement pieces with anything from your fresh pair of Jay's or Dunks or go all out glamazon and pair them with your Tom Ford's...you know, because you don't pop mollies.  Layer, mix and have fun! Also totally try the the palm bracelet, it is so sexy!
