Counting Down to Spring: eShakti

March 6, 2013 By 2 Comments

I don’t know about you but I am dying for spring to arrive. I am over cold weather, jackets, and needing layers. I am ready for lots of sunshine, airy fabrics, and my toes getting out of socks and into flip-flops! Last year I had the opportunity to review eShakti’s beautiful clothing lines (remember this adorable green shirtdress?) and when they contacted me about the launch of their new spring collection, I gladly agreed!

It was so hard to choose from all of the cute options but I ultimately chose this cute little number:

Cap Sleeve Print Dress from eShakti

I love dresses for spring but I typically stick to solid colors (especially black) so I took a leap of faith and went completely out of my comfort zone with this print but it totally paid off! I am in love! I feel sassy and beautiful! I feel like it fits my body in all the right places! One of my favorite things about this company is just about every piece is customizable! Not only do they make each item specifically for you using your measurements, you can also alter the sleeves, length, and add (or remove) pockets to meet your specific needs. I’m not a huge fan of my arms so I prefer to have them covered so I was able to add cap sleeves as well as adjust the length of the dress so I can feel completely comfortable and beautiful in my new dress!

Some of my other favorites include this illusion mesh print dress and anchor print dress! I think I am now hooked on prints!

Definitely head over to eShakti and check out their Spring line! If you find something you love, you can use the code NEWKNDFNRM to save 20% off your order through March 20th!

What is your favorite piece?

Shopping for Yellow

February 7, 2013 By 4 Comments

With Endometriosis Awareness Month right around the corner, I’ve been on the search for a cute new yellow shirt or dress to kick off the month! Yellow has always been one of my favorite colors (especially for spring) so I always look forward to adding a new piece to my wardrobe every year! As if I really need a reason to shop :)

These are some of my favorites:

Old Navy Yellow Shirt Sequins

Yellow, stripes, and a hint of sequins? Yes please!

Old Navy Yellow Eyelet Dress

How cute is this eyelet lace dress?

Banana Republic Yellow Blacker Stripes

This is definitely out of my price range but it is so cute!

Maurices Yellow Chiffon Belted Dress

I love this dress! Depending on accessories, this dress can be worn with a sweater and jeans to the office or a cute denim jacket and sandals out on the weekends!

Old Navy Rockstar Skinny Jeans YellowSource

Who says you have to stick to a shirt? These yellow skinnies are so cute! You just might not want to sport a yellow shirt AND yellow jeans. Unless you want to be mistaken for Big Bird :)

What are your thoughts on yellow?

I have had the honor of working with Novica on two previous occasions so when they offered to partner up for a giveaway just in time for Christmas, I gladly said yes!

One of the newest features of Novica is the ability to create curated collections of your favorite products!

Once you’ve created a Novica account, you can begin browsing the gazillion amazing products ranging from jewelry to clothing to home decor and when you find something you love, hover over the product image and click “Curate!”

I am a sucker for jewelry and have been so thoroughly impressed with all of my purchases in the past that of course I went to the jewelry pages first and created a collection of beautiful rings!
