Dressing to Music: Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know

I know this song is all over the radio, but since I don't listen to the radio it's new to me. ;) I love everything about it, but my favorite is when they sing together. This is the look I styled as I listened to "somebody that I used to know":

KH city tour

Good morning everyone! You may have noticed my recent partnership with Kristin Hassan, and I’m sure you’ve taken note of her new program Passport to Style: World Tour 2012! Passport to Style is a fresh and exciting experience that will be bringing you almost a dozen different jewelry collections via a virtual trip around the world! Each city will be hosted by a guest blogger “Tour Guide”, and guess what.. I’m your Tour Guide for the third city, ATHENS!

Kristin sent me a huge package filled with ten different styles of jewelry, all inspired by the ancient capitol. This my friends, was an amazing day! ;) I am obsessed with this collection. Each peice I pulled out was better then the next and the amount of ooos and ahhhs that left my mouth was ridiculous. There are some major must haves in this collection. Not just one or two peices, but all of them. I don't know how I would have explaned to my hubby that I bought ever single piece, so it's good that I was the tour guide on this one. I dare you to not want them all!

I’m so excited to style up an outfit with Grecian flair! Here’s a look I would wear as I tour the magical and historical city of Athens:

PARTHENON LEATHER WRIST WRAP - BLUE

PARTHENON LEATHER WRIST WRAP - White

AEGEAN WATCH

ARTEMIS CHAIN BRACELET



OLYMPUS SCARF

PERSEPHONE BANGLE

Top and Shorts: Banana Republic, Bag: C/O Just Fabulous, Belt: Fossil, Shoes: Target, Scarf and all jewelry: C/O Kristin Hassan

The jewelry from the Athens Collection is a must have for every woman! Sadly though, it is only available in limited quantities for three weeks! Claim yours a.s.a.p. - Shop Now!
But wait, that’s not all that Kristin and I have been working on. Be sure to check back next Wednesday for my Athens evening outfit post and even more jewelry. We also have an amazing giveaway coming up! Make sure you don’t miss a thing from Kristin or the tour by reserving your passport.

Outfit: Dresses Paired with Vests

Dress: E Street Denim, Jean Vest: Forever 21, Wedges: Target, Bag: C/O Just Fabulous, Watch: Fossil, Wrist Wrap: C/O Kristin Hassan, Ring: Free People

How amazing is this dress?! I found it when I was in Lake Geneva over the weekend and I knew I needed to own it. Sadly for anyone else who wants it, is not found online and someone has already called DIBS on it. (everyone say thanks Gwen! lol) But you can find it at E Street Denim! ;) 

Now lets talk vests! I am gaga for vests this season. I have this denim one, a lace one, and just got a trench one too (totally saw Nicole over at Frankie Hearts Fashion wearing one and had to find my own asap!). What do you guys think? Do you love vests over dresses or not so much?

Outfit: Dinner With a Fellow Blogger

Dress: BCBGMAXAZRIA, Blazer: JC Penny, Shoes: Shoemint, Bag and Necklace: Windsor, Watch: Fossil, Wrist Wrap: C/O Kristin Hassan, Ring: J Good

I met up with one of my favorite mommies and had dinner and drinks on Monday night. I love Kristin. Not only is she a super talented clothing designer, jewelry designer, business woman, blogger, and mom, but she is also just a great friend. I am so glad to have her in my life. 

 Now lets talk fashion. ;) I think everyone needs to own this t-shirt dress. It's great for layering and hugs the body in all the right spots. It's one of my new favorites. Yes, it's a splurge item at $98, but once you put it on you'll agree it's worth the $$! 

 What do you think of my braided top knot? I finally spent 10 minutes and not my usual 4 minutes on this style. I usually just twist it and pin it but this time I teased my high pony and wrapped and pinned it to look more like a bun. To finish, I braided a small section and wrapped that around the base. I liked it so much more then what I usually do! Can you tell I haven't washed my hair in 3 days?! lol Me either, which means this hair style is a success!

Outfit: Mini Photo Shoot for BISTM

Myself and Kaitlyn had a mini photo shoot over the weekend. We saw an amazing picture over on Pinterest and knew we wanted to recreate it for a stock photo to be used on our new website. Here is what I wore:

On Kaitlyn: Shoes: C/O Sole Society, Watch Wrap: C/O Kristin Hassan

Here are the photos that we came up with:

What do you think? We super love them!

BecauseIShopTooMuch.com is coming along great. We finally have an official launch date of June 1st.

Me and the hubbs went out for dinner and a movie this night. We ate so much! Nachos, potato skins, spinach and artichoke dip, one of those appetizers for dinner kind of a nights. So fun! We saw 21 Jump Street, which was SO FUNNY, and had a wonderful time.

I am loving this look! The top, jeans, and cami are all from my box service with ThirtySomethingFashion. SWOON! I am so happy to own white denim. How have I gone all these years with out a great pair?! These will for sure be "repeat offenders" on this blog! ;)

Newly Remodeled Mario Tricoci (Schaumburg Location)

 I was invited to the ribbon cutting event for the newly remodeled Schaumburg location of Mario Tricoci. Anyone who knows me, knows I love Mario Tricoci! I get my colored and hair cut there, I get my eyebrows waxed there, I get massages and facials there, bottom line, they are my go to when I want to get my pamper on. So obviously I was super excited to meet Mario Tricoci! ;) Here is what I wore to the event:

Top: Target, Blazer: Urban Outfitters, Pants: ASOS, Shoes: Shoemint (similar), Necklace: Shop Jules, Ball necklace: Jewelmint, Bracelet: C/O Kristin Hassan (style sold out), Stackable Ring: Baublebar


This location has been open for 19 years now and looks even more amazing! I didn't take pictures in the spa area because I felt rude (everyone knows to be quite in there! lol) but I did see a demo for the diamond tip microdurmabrasion. Yeah, mama wants one of those badly! Here are a few photos taken during the ribbon cutting.


Next up, enter a raffle and get my spa on! I was given a complementary wash, blow out, and curling, a bamboo infused massage and my mother-in-law got her nails done. So fun!


The salon and spa look amazing and I was happy to be included in such a fun morning!
