Bejeweled

Another gift from my Mom (she spoils me), this jeweled sweater from Kohl's is clearly similar to both J.Crew's ($98) and Anthropologie's ($148) versions, only at a fraction of the price.

The Elle for Kohl's embellished sweater is currently on sale for $33, comes in two other colors and since it's Kohl's you can always manage to get an extra 15 to 30 percent off.

So which one would you choose?

Seeing wonder

Who doesn't love C.Wonder? The housewares, the jewelry, the clothes; all with a touch of whimsy, and a lot of glamour. The only thing I'm not crazy about are the prices, and while I've gotten my fare share of half off clearance sales (the best!) nothing beats this plaid blazer I found at TJMaxx.

It was the only one there, and it was in my size. C.Wonder's MSRP was $248, TJMaxx's price was $40. Seriously, is there any store better than TJMaxx? I think not.

And don't let me forget to thank my Mom who bought it for me as a Christmas gift!

In with the new

The new year has arrived, the time when we all feel like we have a clean slate and the ability to make this year exactly as we want it to be.

While I can think of a lot of things I would like to change or improve upon, rather than a laundry list of resolutions, I have decided to just go with one: ask for what I want.

I had heard someone else talking about this concept months ago, and it really started to sink in. I realized how rarely I actually step up and tell someone exactly what it is I want. I'm not saying that by asking I will always get it, but I have a far better chance than remaining silent and expecting everyone around me to be a mind reader.

So that is my one resolution, which I am hoping will be a powerful one and really help me this year.

Any resolutions for you?
