Tory Burch framed ball rosary necklace, worn by Tamara Barney of Real Housewives of OC
I posted a couple weeks ago about the fabulous outfit worn by Tamara Barney on the premiere of Real Housewives of Orange County. She had on a fabulous Bebe coral, orange top with white jeans and Tory Burch Circle Logo drop earrings, I could not find the necklace at the time. Every where I looked was sold out or they didn't have it. I have a great seller on Ebay I purchase from often who posted a necklace and it was the same on but in silver. I searched the internet and it is actually on clearance at Tory Burch website. Amazing necklace and I will be ordering this tomorrow on payday. I have the circle logo drop earrings, which I got in silver because I wear more silver then gold. Check out this link, Tory Burch Necklace. Below is a photo of the necklace. Hope this helps anyone who is looking for this necklace=). Best thing is it is on sale. Love when I find something I love on sale=). Happy Shopping ladies and be sure to check out more items from this fabulous designer while you are visiting their website. The quality of Tory Burch is amazing and I love all her timeless pieces. These dress up any outfit and are great for casual or evening.

Newest cast member for Real Housewives of OC, Lydia's style
I posted a couple weeks ago about the amazing fashion style of some of the cast of the Real Housewives series. I love the girls of Orange County, they always wear some cute and cool fashion pieces. I am always inspired by clothes and fashion I see on tv. I don't watch a lot of shows but the few I do record and watch weekly I love to watch usually for fashion and home design inspiration. Being a stay at home mom I still like to express my love for fashion, art and design thru my clothing and decor. The newest addition the Real Housewives of Orange County is Lydia McGlaughlin. She has a cute style to her that is actually not super out of reach for people who do not live such an extravagant lifestyle. I actually love her style and out of all the girls, it is closest to my own personal taste and items I already own. I actually have the cute LOVE black tank top with fringe on the back, I got it at Hot Topic last summer. It is however sold out now, but I can tell you that Marshall's and TJ Maxx have a lot of super cute, similar style racer back tank tops with cute sayings, skulls and graphics that are under $10 right now. Great paired up with denim or lace shorts. Ms. Lydia wore a cute pair of black, scalloped edge shorts, that are sold out everywhere I have been able to find similar one, but again Marshall's and TJ Maxx, also Kohl's have similar shorts for great prices.
Next up is a shirt I absolutely loved that was worn by Lydia on last week's episode when she was getting ready for date night with her hubby. I managed to locate it and actually ordered it this week=). It is from Urban Outfitters, the link to the site is here: Lydia Black Cross tank. I love Urban Outfitters, I love to go to the store in South Beach and walk around, they always have cool tops, tanks and jeans. I also love the rhinestone headband she wore and will be posting some cute options for this, hoping to find some budget worthy ones to blog about=). I look forward to seeing more of what Lydia wears this season. Also the other ladies=). I posted in my previous entry about Gretchen and Tamara's ebay stores. Both ladies have personal Ebay shops where they sell their pre worn items for great prices, only down fall you have to be tiny like them. Most of the clothes are XS and Small, or 0-4. Every now and then Gretchen has larger sizes, but Tamara always has super tiny clothes. Below are some photos of the tank top worn by Lydia and I will have more entries on other shows and fashion coming, I can't wait for the ladies of the New Jersey Real Housewives this summer, I love their fashion=).
Have a great week, and Friday is almost here!! Yay, woo hoo lol.

Ipsy April beauty bag
Sorry for the delay on posting about the April Ipsy beauty bag, I received the bag Wednesday of last week but it was a mess:(. The nail polish had broken in half in the box and leaked out into the bag. Everything was covered with polish, I didn't even take pictures. I was going to clean up the stuff but ended up sending them an email to let them know what had happened so now I am back to waiting:(. I had received an email from Ipsy a week or so before my bag came that explained the bag itself was not up to their quality so that we would receive two bags in may. I have no idea how the bottle got broken in half, must have been slammed around. I get a lot of polish in the mall but usually it is bubble wrapped then in a box, Ipsy ships there bag in a very lightly padded envelope.
Needless to say it was disappointing however they had no issue with sending out an entire new bag. I weekly bad for my daughter, I ordered this beauty bag for her on her 13 birthday, so every month she waits for it and is so excited when it arrives. This month she was opening the envelope and I could smell the nail polish already. I was shocked when she opened the bag to see it all over everything. I googled to see if anyone else had this problem and sure enough I read a lot of reviews on other blogs that their nail polish or blush was broken this month. Again this is the first time we received anything broken from them, and they were very nice about replacing it. The email I got said they had to reorder new bags so that it would take 2 weeks to receive, which should be about the time the May bag ships lol. I apologize again I didn't take pictures, I do know there was the nail polish, a blush, I think a eye shadow duo and hairspray in this bag for April. I will post photos as soon as I get the bag or I have a previous post that had a sneak peek at items before the bags came. Have a great week and super excited summer is almost here:).

Master Bedroom inspired by Z Gallerie
I posted last week a similar post but with items and options from Home Decorator's Collection, this week I am using my favorite store, well one of my favorites I have many more which I will be posting. I have the colors and I am showing from different stores how to get similar looks, different pricing, mixing things up and it has helped me pick the pieces I love, but most of all help me decide which items to splurge on and the rest to save on. Hope others get inspiration from this also. When I redo a room whether for my home or a client's I have a inspiration board, paint chips, fabrics, photos of bed, furniture, curtains, rugs or samples of the rugs, floral ideas and so on. Then I start looking for those key pieces, I start with the biggest items and then finish with accessories. Let's begin...
All items below come from www.zgallerie.com
I will be back tomorrow to name and price each item, along with what I love. I am hooked on the hotel look in my master bedroom. My accent colors with the white and gray are strawberry, coral, watermelon pinks and teal or turquoise blue. I have stripes, chevron and ikat patterns. I also like the moroccan look to the sheets above. Wanted to post the photos now and get started, stay tuned tomorrow I will add more promise=)

Birchbox April 2013 box review
Hey there everyone, thoughts and prayers going out to the people in Boston. It has been hard to watch and breaks my heart, thoughts and prayers to everyone involved. I haven't been able to watch much of the news today but I hope they have more answers soon.
I got my Birchbox yesterday and usually post early but given everything going on when I got home I didn't even open my box till late last night. Forgot I had gotten it because I walked in and set it down then my mom came in and told me what had happened. Very hard to see anything like this happen:(.
This month Birchbox teamed up with Women's health and put together this box. I was impressed how many items were in the box, seems as Birchbox grows more popular that more items start to come:). Always happy to receive more items, you will never hear me complain about getting free samples, well not free because the box costs $10 a month but for ten bucks u think it is a great deal!
Birchbox titled the box, Tiny tweaks, BIG results. Like Birchbox wrote on the card, We all know that the little thing-weekly face masks, nightly eye cream or five minutes in the sunshine-can make all the difference:). This is so true. When I take some extra time to apply a deep conditioning mask, eye cream, paint my nails or do my hair I feel amazing not to mention looking great.
Off to the items in the box lol:). Starting with the first item that caught my attention, Hail Merry Chocolate Macaroons. I love macaroons and enjoy baking them when ever I have the time. These decadent treats are raw, vegan, gluten free, and made with only organic and natural ingredients. These retail for $5.00 and I will be trying this later tonight.
Caudalie, Divine oil. Made with a blend of grape, argan, hibiscus, and sesame oils, this multitasking wonder gives skin, hair, and nails a gorgeous glow. I have become a huge fan of argan oil and natural oils for the body and hair. I love how moisturizing they are and can't wait to try this item out:). Retails in full size for $9-49 depending on size.
Juice Beauty, Stem cellular repair cc cream. Move over BB creams. This color correcting wonder is part mineral sunscreen, part organic antioxidant serum, and part skin perfecting tiny. Retails for $39 full size. I enjoy the bb creams out there. I love tinted moisturizers, for years I have used a tinted lotion on my legs and it gives me a healthy glow whether I am tan or not. I love this for the face, I am not a fan of foundation or heavy makeup so this is great. Not only are you moisturizing, but also covering flaws and protecting your face, who doesn't love that:)?
Ojon, rare blend Deep conditioner. Overhaul strands with the new dual-phase conditioner, which uses a blend of shine boosting plant oils to repair damage to hair. Don't think I have to say that this is an item I enjoy. I deep condition and use hair masks often this is an item I will use:). I need to start writing more reviews on these items as I use them. I was doing that but I get so busy with my kids and life I forget from time to time. I promise I will be doing this more often again. This item retails for $34 full size.
Supergoop! Advanced SPF 40 anti-aging eye cream. At last: an eye cream with serious sun protection. Plus, the innovative formula has oat peptide complex to firm skin. Full size $45. Everyone loves anti-aging eye creams. I have used oil of olay products since I was young, maybe 14. My grandma had amazing skin and she use to tell me she used Dove facial soap along with Oil of Olay and Shaklee, which she sold at the time. When I was around 14 she started giving me makeup, cleansing products and creams. I think it has helped a lot, my biggest recommendation is to avoid the sun, I had been told this from young and I have to say that is the ont thing other then hormones that has affected my skin. I know around the time I was pregnant with my second daughter I noticed dark spots when I would get sun, these cleared after I gave birth but re-appear when ever I get too much sun or if I go on birth control. I have since become a huge sun screen user and wear hats. My dermatologist helped a lot with this problem, she prescribed a lightening cream that worked amazing, without over drying my face, only issue was that I would bleach my pillowcases. I have purple or bright colors in my hair so I use to use dark pillowcases because this would not show hair color when it bleeds, but now I use white then I can bleach if dye gets on them and the bleach marks don't show:). Crazy the things we discover over the years lol.
Beauty extra was the Elizabeth Arden, visible difference skin balancing cleanser, serum and lotion samples. This spa inspired trio includes a gently exfoliating cleanser, serum, and moisturizing, oil free lotion. Full sizes range from $20-49.50. Love these for travel bags since they are small and usually one or a few times use. The life style extra was the chocolate macaroons:). Love sweets every now and then when I am trying to diet, stay in shape, or keep away from fattening things. Love that these macaroons are vegan, gluten free and made with organic ingredients.
Enjoy the below photos of the Birchbox for April 2013 and I will have reviews for items coming soon. Have been sick so behind on everything. Have a great week:).

Treat for myself, orange Michael Kors wallet
Every two weeks I like to treat myself to a little something. Usually I get shoes, accessories, a purse, or something I have found for my house. This week I got a tangerine orange Michael Kors wallet from discount store:). Was originally 160 and got it for 80 super excited. I saw it a couple days before payday and had to put it somewhere in the store then kept fingers crossed it would be there when I went back. It was last one and it was meant to be because it was same color as my new purse plus had gold hardware then price was perfect. I absolutely love it.
I am still waiting for my Tory Burch online purchases to arrive should be here this week sometime. Also got my shams from Pottery Barn, going to order duvet cover and waiting for my bed still. Checked online last night still have 2-3 weeks before it ships. Can't wait to receive it. Next payday going to get my curtains then start getting everything ready for my new bed.
I love my new wallet and wanted to share. Check out the outlet stores and designer stores that sell for less. I have seen the purses at Marshall's, TJ Maxx and then my wallet came from Off 5th. You can check their website for locations.

Limited edition Birchbox for the home
Birchbox sent me an email letting me know that for April they have a limited edition Birchbox for The Home titled from the Garden. It is $32 and retails for $89. I am thinking about ordering it. I love gardening and it always reminds me of my dad when I get a chance to garden or do yard work. Anything that reminds me of my dad makes me happy.
Let me know if anyone else ordered this box. I haven't gotten any of their limited edition boxes for the home. Will see and will post photos if I ordered this box. Enjoy photos:).

Ipsy bag is coming a little late this month. I also am still waiting on my Birchbox. I got a little anxious and then came across some spoilers I had to share for the April 2013.

I also saw only four products this month but looks like a full size blush and nail polish. Also some sexy big hair products. Check out the peak photos and I will be posting photos as soon as mine arrives:). Also looking for some Birchbox spoilers for those who are not patient like myself lol. Warning the photos below have preview photos to the April box for Ipsy just in case you like the surprise of opening your box;).

Fashionista review, Real Housewives of OC Tamra Barney
I'm a fan of the Real Housewives, believe it or not my husband started watching this show way before me. I use to work nights at a jazz lounge and was never home to watch tv in the evenings. When we got tivo years ago he would record the OC Housewives and when I was bored during the day I started to watch it. Over the years I enjoy watching more for the fashion then anything, but it is also entertaining as well lol.
I watched the new episode and have to say I love the white capris that Gretchen wore and Tamara. My favorite outfit was Tamara's for the Clam bake. I love the bright coral top, paired with white skinny jeans and the Tory Burch gold jewelry. The earrings are the Tory Burch circle logo drop earrings in gold. The necklace is sold out on all the sites I looked up, but there are a lot of other cute options if you are looking for the same style or look. Best places to find are the Tory Burch site or Nordstrom's also has a large selection. I purchased the logo Tory Burch earrings in silver recently off Ebay which is also a great place to search for pieces that may be out of season or older.
UPDATE: I found Tamara on EBay and she is selling the white jeans and Coral Bebe top now on ebay. The jeans are not Hudson, I was wrong, they are in fact True Religion which also has similar pockets. The top is by Bebe and I have not looked for it online but you can go to Bebe Coral top to see the one she has up for sale. Also check out True Religion White Capri for the white capris she wore on the episode. She has lots of other things for sale like Gretchen who also has a Ebay account. Here are some photos from the listings of the items. Enjoy=).
The jeans were a tough one to find, I love white jeans but it is hard to find ones that are not see thru. A lot of times you can see the pockets from the front or underwear. After a lot of research I narrowed it down to a couple then went to the sites and think I pin pointed the style. They appear to be Hudson Jeans, the pockets match up. They have skinny jeans and capris in this style and retail for around $150-180. Below is a photo I got off google search of a scene from the housewives show when Tamara arrived at Gretchen's house to ride to the clam bake together. Also I have included photos from Hudson jeans website of the white skinny capris, I am posting the back photo so you can see the pockets which look the same as the pockets on her jeans. The Tory Burch photos I found one of the earrings on Tory Burch site and Nordstrom site. The necklace I found on pinterest.com. I updated recently that I found the top was made by Bebe and the jeans were not Hudson they were True Religion. Tamara has an Ebay account I posted the links above in my update, you can click on the items and it will take you to her postings on Ebay=). Hope that helps everyone.
Enjoy the photos and I will have more fashion reviews, along with names of designers, places to find them and hoping to start finding close matches for less. Enjoy

Master bedroom luxury from Home Decorator's Collection
Since I am in the process of finally finishing redecorating my own master bedroom I have decided instead of rambling on about the same things, that I would show many options and some great places to go for ideas or inspiration. I do interior design as a business, it started as a hobby and when I started party planning and baking I ended up having many customers who would come to my home and ask me if I did interior design. I never thought I had any special talent just an eye for putting things together but it really is a huge passion of mine along with finding the best deals possible for every budget.
The next few days I will be posting similar furniture and accessories from many different stores then at the end I will show you some lower priced options along with great sites or stores to find amazing deals. My master bedroom inspiration is Hollywood Glam. It is a little shabby chic, french and hollywood glamour all combined this happens to me one of my favorite styles of design. I love upholstered elegant headboards, with hotel luxury linens, mirrored frames, accent furniture, mercury glass accents, french antique dressers, tufted chairs and elegant florals. Enjoy and make sure to check out the first website I am featuring, Home Decorator's Collection. Working in interior design this is a place I have shopped many times, I use to work for Home Depot and that is when I discovered this company. They have lots of options, great place to get ideas and you can special order items in different colors and fabric options which is great when you are looking for something hard to find.

These gorgeous curtains are $27 and are the long curtains so you can get the romantic look.
This gorgeous white and silver accent pillow is $24 and I have seen similar ones at other big name stores for triple the amount, this is a gorgeous pillow and they have many to chose from.
The pillow above is more expensive at $54
This gray tufted velvet slipper chair is $229. I like to have a chair in the bedroom for putting on shoes and for using at my vanity or when on the computer.
Above is a gorgeous linen gray, diamond tufted king size bed with nail head trim. I love the diamond tufting. Nail head trim really gives it that high end look and the wing back is super glamorous. Retails for $1149
This gorgeous rug is gray and white. Right now I love the chevron, trellis and moroccan influenced prints on rugs. This rug is 5x7 and retails for $254.
Above is a great accent color when working with gray color scheme, this is a coral which is a pink orange color. My master suite is gray with white and I am using a lot of turquoise/teal blue then a little coral. This pillow is $54 and I just ordered two.
Last of all is bedding. I love hotel influenced linens. I love bold crisp white duvet cover with a accent of gray. You can get many accents like black, blue, brown and many others. I just happen to have gray in my room since my wall color and headboard is gray. I then get euro shams, king shams and accent pillows to coordinate. My euro shams for example have white and gray stripes, but then I have the matching king shams, then turquoise and white chevron pattern with the above coral accents and one smaller center pillow with all the colors. Looks stunning. This set retails for around $400 through Home Decorator's Collection, this is a great price for the duvet, shams and coordinating sheets.

Julep maven April 2013 It Girl box
Today I received my julep maven it girl box. I have been on the fence of canceling this monthly box, but I love nail polish and enjoy getting boxes in the mail:). I think that is why I shop online often lol.
This month is bright neon colors which I enjoy because right now I'm loving bright orange, yellow, pink, coral and blue. I am an It Girl and usually stick with my box, they are pretty on point with the survey and picking the colors I would enjoy the most. For April my little extra in my box was some rock candy in a bright blue. The packaging is always colorful and goes with their colors or trend for the month.
For April I got Eden which is a bright purple. I think this will be my favorite out of the three. I love purple, was a little disappointed at first because since being a Julep maven I have gotten dupes of Morgan which is also purple but deeper darker shade and also a yellow shade, don't know the name off hand, that I have two of and another yellow from Halloween time. That brings me to my second color, Abbie which is yellow. Interested to compare to the two other yellows they have sent me, I hope this one is brighter. Last up is Mackenzie and this shade is a shimmery bright green. The shimmer looks green just a shade darker then the polish. I will post some swatches later this week I desperately need to remove my polish and freshen up my nails.
I would have liked a bright blue, saw a Dior shade I think I may pick up at Sephora on payday that is a gorgeous bright blue and glows under black light like blue neon. Love it:). Sorry for not going into great detail on this post trying to multi task but wanted to post a preview of the box for those who haven't received theirs yet and like to see what they have coming:).
