Coach Handbags

/in , /by

I love this season’s new summer handbags. One of my favorite designers is Coach. Their bags are affordable and are made of great quality. I have about 5 leather Coach bags. One thing I love about Coach is their repair policy. They will repair any bag of theirs no matter where you purchased it for free!



I recently sent a bag there for repair. I purchased it last year from Von Maur and one of the straps began to tear. I went to the Coach store downtown in my city and they sent it off with no problem for repair. It took about 6 weeks but it was worth it because they put new hardware on my entire bag!!


I was so excited to have my bag back and that Coach stands behind their products. As long as they keep making fantastic designs and continue with customer service, they will always have a fan! Below are my Coach bags and a few of my new favorites from this season. Enjoy!!!

Simply Summer Hats

/in , /by

It’s that time of the year where big floppy hats are great accessories to have! I have to admit I love the big Kentucky Derby hats that are worn to that great event.



Summer hats come in all shapes, colors, and styles. I am a big fan of the big southern hats. I think I have a large head so I feel that those types of hats compliment me well. 


I took a short visit to Steinmart recently and found a few hats there. The selection was great and the prices are fair. I believe that every woman should have her “favorite” hat. No matter what your style is a hat and scarf are must-have accessories for your wardrobe. Read my blog post about my Hermes scarf here. Below are a few hats that I found at Target and Steinmart!


Lastly, watch the video I have below from Southern Living. It is a video of the celebrities at the Kentucky Derby Red Carpet event. The derby hats are fabulous! Enjoy!

Please excuse this horrid selfie! I normally do not take photos with my phone in the picture but no one was around to take my photo. I loved this
hat at Steinmart. It was Ninewest and the price was $24.99!


The hats at Steinmart. The prices started at $24.99!

The Merona Striped Floppy Hat. It is $11.99 at Target!



This is me in my black floppy hat I purchased at New York and Company 
a few years ago.

Steinmart ~ Affordable Accessories for Living

/in , /by

Steinmart is a boutique-style mens and womens’s department store chain. Additionally, home decor, accessories and shoes are all available at discount prices. I love visiting our local store here in Greenwood, Indiana. I have found some great home decor and feminine accessories.

I love shopping for sandals here too! They seem to get the most feminine floral sandals that I have seen. You won’t find any of those high platform sandals here. If that is your thing, then okay. But for me I love the floral kitten heel sandals and heels.

I also love the wide range of home decor. They carry items that I can’t find at my local T.J. Maxx. I still love T.J. Maxx but it’s also nice to come to Steinmart to find some items that are not sold in every store.

I took a visit this past weekend and found some great items! Take a look below and go and visit your local Steinmart or shop online! Enjoy!

Pretty necklaces for just $14.99!



This matching bracelet was only $9.99!



This was gorgeous! It was only 14.99!



More necklaces 



Ralph Lauren scarves only $24.98.



Pierced and clip earrings only $9.99!



More jewelry offered at an additional 25% off!



I really loved this green bracelet but I noticed that one of the jewels fell out! Sad face!



Michael Kors bags for $119!



More Michael Kors totes



Pretty dinnerware for really great prices. 



I really loved these acrylic glasses. They were only $4.99 each! I purchased a few. 



What cute trays. These would be great bridal or birthday gifts! Only $14.99.
It says, “You must have confused me with the maid we don’t have”. 

This one says, “Home of the Queen and her loyal subjects”. Cute! 


I adore this painting. I don’t know the price. I was to frightened to look! 



I love this painting also!

April Cornell~ Vintage Inspired

/in , /by

I stumbled on this company April Cornell a few weeks ago while reading some of my favorite blogs. April sells vintage clothing, home decor and linens. Her company seems to be inspired by the 1940’s which is one of my favorite decades!

The fashion and home decor was so simple and functional back then. The women dressed nice everyday and so did the children. It was a time when people took honor in the way they looked and families had sense of love and devotion for one another.

Please visit her site and let it take you back in time with a little kick to it! There is so much that her company offers. They have nightwear, skirts, pants, bridal dresses, dresses and plus sizes! There is a girls section, baby, linens & kitchen, home decor, accessories, and the Ladies Attic.

Now in the Ladies Attic section every thing is half off! Also, there is the April’s Attic Sale where more treasures have been discounted for everyone! I really enjoyed visiting her site and I intend on buying some of the kitchen linens, one of the aprons and who knows what else! There are so many goodies in her store!

Lastly, April has a channel  on Youtube. Go and watch some of her videos about her products. Enjoy!

Rice and Beans Vintage- Designer Consignment Store

/in , /by

A few weeks ago I was reading through my blogs and saw this post on Habitually Chic about a designer consignment shop called Rice and Beans Vintage. When I went to the website I was completely amazed at the gorgeous pieces they had.

You can go shopping on the website by arrivals, designer, or category. There is also the option of having them do some personal shopping for you! Let them know you are looking for a certain item and they will take care of the rest!

They also have a blog about fashion history and certain items that they carry. The website is so chic and inviting. I simply love the articles about vintage designers and ways to wear vintage. Also, (the best part) they offer FREE SHIPPING EVERYDAY!

So check out their website and find your vintage designer purchase today or go read about the history of fashion. I guarantee you will enjoy it. Lastly, take a look at some of the beautiful items they had to offer below.

One of my “dream bags”! The Chanel double flap bag in lambskin.

This hat is now for sale on the website. This is the vintage

Anthropologie~Store Tour

/in , /by

I have heard of Anthropologie but have never seen any of their products. Well, two weeks ago during my visit to the mall I decided to take a peek inside the store. I was impressed! It smelled so good as we walked in and the decor was just beautiful!

Anthropologie sells everything! They sell clothes, accessories, shoes, and home decor. I loved the dinnerware it was so bright and colorful. The candles were gorgeous and the home decor was lovely. They also sell perfume. I just loved their Lollia white petals and rice flower scent!

It smelled just like a fresh flower. So check out their website and for those of us in the Indianapolis area head to Keystone at the Crossing and visit the store. You will be pleasantly surprised.
