RAIN BOOTS OR RAINBOW BOOTS?

After a very long drought, we have finally had some real rain here in central Texas. It had been so long that I had forgotten what it felt like to pop up an umbrella in the wind or soak my shoes in a mud puddle. The rain also reminded me of how much I love the amazing rain boots that you see splashing around town. You can't beat their price (so cheap that you could even make a case for getting a pair in every color under the rainbow!).

If you are in the market for some new rain boots for the soggy months ahead, you have to check out the selection on Target.com. Right now if you buy one pair (only $25), you get the second for 50% off! And, if you spend $50, you get free shipping! Did you know that they sell warm liners for rain boots? There really is just NO excuse for the boring black boots of the past!

Here are few of my favorites...Allison Floral


Tan Leopard


Zahar Pink



Sasha Bias Madras

Black and Silver Zebra

Pinky Plaid

SPRING AHEAD TO 2010 FASHION

It may seem a little early to think about next spring's wardrobe, but the Spring 2010 Fashion Show was this past week in NYC. I love all the muted metallics, rich blues and bright whites. And, very tickled to see that ruffles and femininity are still here to stay for at least one more season!

Cynthia Rowley...fun & flirty as always

Erin Wasson

David Tlale

Nicole Miller

Adam

Lacoste

Christian Siriano (winner from Project Runway!) & one of my favorites on the Spring runway

Mosaic Tile Wallpaper

Check out this very cool wallpaper by Trend that resembles mosaic tile. I will definitely use it someday in a photo set or in one of my tradeshow booths! I can't believe how real it looks! I can really see it in a restaurant or hotel. It is made of recycled glass and is much more affordable than actual mosaic tile (not to mention easy to install!) Just think of the transformation you could do in a weekend with this amazing wallpaper!

Bling is Bigger Than Ever

There is nothing boring about the BIG necklaces and bracelets that hit the runway this year. It might take a little bravery to wear these, but if you are out to get noticed, this might do the trick! Personally, I love the way you can pair a bold, artistic necklace with a tee and some jeans or your favorite little black dress, and instantly feel fabulous! These overstated accessories remind me of royalty...and who doesn't want to feel just like a queen?

The necklaces above are by designer Erica Beamon who actually has a line of affordable jewerly at Target (check out the bracelets below!).

As with anything, it's all about balance...
