Will you be taking anything home from Iomoi this weekend?

With the first long weekend of the summer season fast approaching, it is that time of year to start making your summer travel plans, and also start thinking about how you will be thanking your generous hosts for the summer!

Thanks to my good friend Stephanie, I just became aware of this adorable Wine and Tote Bag Gift Set from St. Francis Vineyards and Vineyard Vines!

For just $45, this gift set includes a delicious bottle of St. Francis Chardonnay, and a beautiful wine tote bag from Vineyard Vines!

For under $50 you get great wine and a re-usable adorable tote...who could ask for more?!

I might just have to order one for myself as a treat to look forward to for after I have our baby girl! 

Happy Traveling and Shopping!

For the second year in a row, Trina Turk has paired up with Nordstrom and Clinique to offer a gorgeous makeup bag and gift set valued at $75, for the low price of a $25 minimum purchase of Clinique products! 

I am a big fan of Trina Turk's fabric and designs, and in my opinion, this beautiful makeup bag is worth more than $25 just on it's own!

Isn't this such a fun pattern for summer?  It would be a great case for sunscreen and other products for the beach, or perfect for all of your toiletries this summer on any weekend getaway!

For my latest edition of  "4 Items Under $50 and 1 Splurge Wish List" I am thrilled to introduce you to Debbie, who is one of my closest friends, and who also happens to be my older sister!

Debbie is such an inspiration to me...she is a working mother of two, an incredible sister, and a loving daughter and wife!  I don't know how she does it all and always manages to look so amazing and put together...as I expect my first baby on the way, she has definitely been my go to source on how to be a young chic and savvy mother.

I'm thrilled to have Debbie sharing her top "4 Items Under $50 and 1 Splurge Wish List" with us today.  She chose to focus on tote bags because they are so important for the mom on the go!  Here is what Debbie chose...

Debbie: Now that I have two kids, I have so much to carry around so having a couple of cute tote bags is critical! 

I have found some very cute tote bags for $50 or less....

The first bag is from my good friend’s store in Concord called Hatch.  Hatch is a very modern and chic store that carries gifts, household goods, and baby and women’s clothing and accessories.  Here is a link that will tell you more about Hatch: http://concord.patch.com/listings/hatch-3

Bag #2: The 2nd tote bag that I am featuring is from Ballard Designs.  You can get a large tote bag from Ballard Designs for just $25 which includes free monogramming!

But my favorite tote bag is not for sale...my daughter gave this tote bag to me for Mother’s Day!  I asked her if she made it at school and she said “No Paula (her teacher) made it!”.  Oh well it is the thought that counts!
 

Hope everyone had a great Mothers Day!

-Debbie

Now that I'm a "Mom To Be" with just a few more months before I have a baby of my own, my shopping taste has changed a little from my pre-pregnancy days!

I still love a good shoe and handbag sale, but I'm also now just as excited about adorable children's clothes and fun toys!

As many of you probably already know, a great online source for discounted items for growing families is Zulily! Zulily is an online sample sale site that caters to young children and their parents.  Zulily offers great sales every day, but I'm extra excited about what's on sale today...new items from both Melissa and Doug and Monday's Child!

If you are a parent of a young child, it's hard not to be familiar with Melissa & Doug, an educational toy company that has been entertaining young children for years with it's focus on high quality and bright colors!

Here are just a few of the great deals from Melissa and Doug on sale today...

I have always been a fan of the wedge heel...it is such an easy and chic way to add height to your look, while also ensuring a little more stability and comfort than your average 3-4 inch heel.

And with Kate Middleton recently sporting these fabulous black wedges before and after her wedding, the wedge has grown even more popular in the past month!

Now I'm not going to lie...if I could have any wedge heel of my choice, it would definitely be this classic and clean wedge from Christian Louboutin!  But at $695, unfortunately this beauty is a little out of my budget right now...

This shoe goes with everything and I have already worn it multiple times this spring...I also love the dark cork wedge...it definitely adds an updated look to this spring staple.

Do you have a favorite shoe for spring?
