Spring into Fashion
10 Mar
Spring is just right around the corner and all of the stores are in full swing with this seasons trend. This is for my savviest bargain hunter or to the girl who just loves a good bargain, SaleLocator.com has five great tips to help refresh your Spring wardrobe without hurting your wallet.
Check out these great tips from SaleLocator.com:
1) Edit your wardrobe - Have you changed sizes or simply have had the same Spring clothes for years? Now is the time to pull out those unwearables and resell them. Ebay or your local consignment shops are a great place to pick up a little extra cash to put into your new Spring wardrobe budget.
Check out Karma Couture, one of RI’s newest and stylish consignment shops around!
2) Pick out one trendy item- Don’t blow the bank on trends that will be bygones next year. Select one great trend piece that you can mix and match with the classics. Most designers have outlet stores for budget-friendly selections.
3) Accessorize - Add Spring accessories like belts, scarves and necklaces to broaden your wardrobe options and maximize your budget.
4) Add a pop of color- It’s all about hues this season. Look for a pair of fun tangerine shoes or a great coral top for a splash of excitement.
5) Don’t drive around town looking for the best deals- Check online for sales before you shop so you can maximize your shopping experience.
Here’s to looking our best this spring without breaking the bank!! Happy Shopping!!

“Glamour”ous
3 Mar
It was my week of vacation and I couldn’t wait for Friday to finally arrive! I had it all planned out. Hair at 9:30, make-up by 11:00 and then be at the studio for 1:30 p.m. Sounds easy enough right!? Well, if you know me at all, you would know that it would be WAY too easy for things to go as smoothly as I would like! The night before arrives, I go to bed early in preparation for my “beauty” sleep, the sleep that we all love to get sometimes, and I was ready for tomorrow to come.
The alarm goes off, I’m refreshed and ready to go, and what do you know? It’s pouring rain outside!! Not just a nice little rainy day. It was a monsoon!!! Great, I think to myself, this is exactly what I needed today for my photo shoot! haha I arrive at my hair, get done a little early and realize I left one of my pieces I needed at home. So I rush home to get the piece and I was finally on my way to get my makeup done. I get there just in time to suddenly realize I left another piece at home! You’ve got to be kidding me I thought to myself! Thank god I was in Nordstrom getting my makeup done because I all I had to do was easily run upstairs to buy the piece I needed, which clearly I did. A girl cannot go to a shoot with her staple item missing! With my makeup beautifully done, I thought to myself, I’m complete and ready to go.
Driving on I-95 couldn’t have been anymore difficult if I had tried. But I knew, I was gonna get there no matter what, and I knew I had plenty of time to get there. One hour later I arrive at the red brick building. Just from the outside, I could tell this building had character and boy did it. I climb up 3 flights of stairs, not easy to do when you’re carrying a ton of clothes along with a duffel bag and umbrella, and finally arrive at her door ~Rachel Kate Photography. A feeling of excitement had come over me~I was here!!
Have you ever had that feeling like you’ve known someone since forever, but this is actually the first time you’re meeting them?? That was exactly what my moment felt like. I walked into the studio and was greeted by someone who I felt like I had known for years! Someone that was just like me! I automatically felt comfortable and I was ready to get started and have some fun.
Rachel is the type of photographer that can make any woman feel beautiful, sexy and confident inside and out. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to have been taking my pictures. She knew exactly what I was looking for and thinking of. Not to mention, she loves miss Britney Spears like myself. (She’s a girl after my own heart.) We did love and have fun singing away to our favorite songs all day! In a nutshell, we just clicked and it was great. She is passionate about what she does and it shows.
If you ever need to have photos taken for a special occasion or if you’re in the mood to have some fun, I highly suggest everyone gets a photo shoot done at one point in their life or another, this is the girl for you. Every girl should feel comfortable in their own skin and show it off and this is a great way to do it. Have a little fun and just go with it and you will be amazed with the ending. You’ll be thinking, “Whoa! Who’s that sexy girl?!” I know I was!! And there is nothing better in this world than to feel sexy and beautiful about yourself.

For all of my fabulous singles out there! Tomorrow doesn’t have to be a dreaded day. I’ve learned over the years, to just go with it. It’s just another day really. But, it’s a day that you can spoil yourself without feeling guilty, laugh your head off and just get out there! I agree with “Mystery Man” that laughing is …the best remedy whenever you need it.

Pretty in Pink
9 Feb
I’m that girl that loves to have her nails painted at all times. I’m the browns in the winter and the pinks in the spring/summer. If you need a pick me up to put away those winter blues, switch to the pretty pink colors!!!! No one said you have to wait until the Spring Equinox! I absolutely love this color Glamour Magazine featured in one of their beauty blogs. The best part is you can find the nail polish right at Walgreens!!!
