Wrapped Up

Sadly my body shape does not work with wrap styles. Dresses, tops, there is always too much extra fabric up top and I end up fiddling with it and the whole look turns into a disaster. So any girls out there who can do the wrap dress, please buy this BCBG Beauty so I may wear it vicariously through you. I've tried it on, the print is perfect for spring, the fabric is silky and flowing, I just adore it!

**Sidenote, a little info based on yesterday's post**

The stock ticker for BCBG is AZ3, it is currently a private company, which means you can't purchase shares, but its a good ticker to keep an eye on, you never know when a popular company is going to go public!

Happy Wednesday!

Smarts and Sass!

As the newly appointed Treasurer to the Preppy Mafia! I thought it might be a fun idea to inject some tips and tricks about budgeting, planning,dealing with financial affairs, becoming Smart Sassy, and Preppy Financial Gurus if you will!

Tip #1...

Buy stock in your favorite stores (if they are publicly traded companies). Even if you only hold one share, when people (husbands, boyfriends, friends, parents) comment on your shopping you can honestly tell them that you are helping increase quarterly profit margins for YOUR company! Holding stock provides you with a piece of the action and if the company you hold pays dividends, the more you shop the greater the potential for some cash back!

A Grand Adventure

Lots of exciting trips in the coming months for this girl! Just added, the Grand Canyon! I've never been and can't wait to see this amazing natural wonder! Have you been? Do you have a hotel to recommend, or any specific excursions that can't be missed?? Do tell!!!

Run Faster, Jump Higher

My latest pair of sneakers have reached the end of their road, I find my knees are a little sore during those last few miles and my step isn't as springy as it was a few months ago. I am so excited that the latest model of my go-to Mizuno's is offered in Shocking Pink!!! These snazzy kicks will most likely be the pair that I run in for my first marathon in 2.5 months, now to start planning a coordinating outfit...

Have a wonderful weekend!

V-Day 2010

I can't wait to see this movie! Opening next Friday it looks perfect for a girl's night out, or for a date night treat. I'm expecting nothing more then lighthearted fun with this one, and will sit happily with my popcorn and enjoy every second of it!

The Little Things...

Not going to lie, I love that the world's largest dog bed, and the new rug coordinate perfectly together! The neon orange ball doesn't blend in so well, but I think I can deal with it!

Happy Tuesday!!

Beep Beep

I am currently shopping for some sweet new wheels. And as much as I would love this adorable, endless summer-esq ride pictured above, its not in the cards. So I ask you all, do you love your car? Would you recommend it to a bloggy friend?? My main requirements are...

1. SAFE

2. RELIABLE

3.GOOD WARRANTY (or, not too painful to repair)

4. Can't be an SUV (with a pup that is getting older he can't jump up into the back, and he is NOT interested in walking up stairs or a ramp to get in and out of the car, despite me telling him that it makes him look famous!)

5. I would like to keep the cost reasonable (I know that means different things to different people)

Thanks for the help Girlies!!!
