"Cute and canvassy, the Yachtt will make you feel like you're the Captainess of The Love Boat. Wear these to the beach, on the streets, in your house; they're perfect for shorts, skirts, and dresses"

I think the Yachtt shoe is so perfect for spring/summer (not sure why it is not spelled Yacht though).

KUZA Straps

"The perfect accessory to help keep your pant legs securely tucked into your favorite pair of boots or wellies! Elastic straps are adjustable so you can customize the length." I used to put a hair elastic around my ankle to keep things in place but those always cut off my circulation. These straps would be a great investment!

The Socialite:


How to use the straps:
1. Cuff your pants to the desired length:


2. Adhere the clips so they fall slightly in front or behind your ankle bone, adjust the length of your strap.


3.Make sure there is a slight tension to the strap in order to achieve the best results. Voila!

Spring Swap

I participated in a Spring Swap with Carol, Southern Mom of Two. She was a GREAT partner! She is a relatively new blogger so be sure to check out her blog and say hello :)

She wrapped everything so beautifully (her daughter also drew some great hearts on the box-so sweet)!

Glee and Vampire Diaries events! (photo heavy)

PaleyFest is now over but I had SO much fun at all of the events I attended (NCIS, LOST, Vampire Diaries, and Glee). If you live in LA or NY (or are planning a trip) be sure to check out The Paley Center. I highly recommend becoming a member!

I went to the Glee event with my friend, M. We got to see the next episode that won't be airing until April 13! For a full recap checkout this link.

HUGE panel:








Apparently I didn't get a closeup of Finn. Sorry! You can see him in the second photo (4th from the left, next to Sue)

I went to the Vampire Diaries event with Amanda and Leeann. There were so many screaming, giddy teenage girls. I loved seeing last week's episode on a huge screen though (another perk to these events).










For some hints on what will happen during future episodes go here.
