Now that the summer months are here and the weather for pool parties and traveling to the beach is upon us, you can never be too prepared when it comes to being able to open your preferred beverage of choice away from home!

How many times have you been in a situation where you have your favorite beer in your hands, the sun is glaring, but unfortunately you have no way of opening that frosty cool beer because you are stuck without an opener?!

Well with both of these handy, portable bottle openers from Uncommon Goods you will never be left with an unopened bottle again!  I love the compact shape of these bottle openers, and how you can take them virtually anywhere without taking up any extra space in your purse or pocket!

I think my favorite is the iphone case bottle opener...how clever is that?!

Do you have a handy way to open bottles when you're not at home?

Happy eating and drinking this weekend!

If you need to stock up on any remaining summer items, today is the day to take advantage of Old Navy's already low prices on staples like summer maxi dresses and cotton tees.  To get 20% off Old Navy's already reasonably priced fashions, just enter the code, ONLADIES20, at check out!

Here are my top picks, and what may be coming home with me today...

Based on a simple premise, for every pair of shoes sold, one pair of shoes will be donated to a person in need, Toms is a company that has truly broken the mold in the fashion industry and set an incredible standard for how a small company can achieve international success while also giving back to those in need at the same time.

And just last year Toms celebrated giving away their millionth shoe...who doesn't want to go out and buy five more pairs of these comfortable and stylish espadrilles after watching this inspiring video?

But just this week Toms made an exciting announcement, they have expanded their "One for One" market to not only include shoes, but have introduced a new line of Toms Eyewear!  Now Toms is not only providing those in need with shoes, but also giving people the incredible gift of sight.  For every pair of sunglasses sold, Toms will give a person back their sight.  According to the company,  about 80% of the cases of people who have lost their sight in developing countries should be preventable...what a staggering statistic.

Today Toms founder, Black Mycoskie, announced the company's exciting new venture.  Here is a video of his announcement, and those who he hopes to help...

I would be happy bringing home any of these sunglasses, and the purchase is totally guilt free knowing that I would also be helping someone get back their sight!  What an incredible initiative!

Are you a fan of Toms?  Will you be picking up any of these sunglasses soon?   

As the summer months approach us, and I get closer to my due date in August, I can't help but scope out all of the adorable and affordable infant and toddler clothes that are currently on the market!

My friends and I just went to an infant and toddler clothing store this weekend that had beautiful clothes, but at $60 for an infant dress, it was unfortunately out of my budget...

Here are a few of my favorite picks for infants and toddlers for the summer months...all for less than $30!

I could buy one of everything from the new Cape Cod Cutie line by Gymboree...it will be available in most stores by 6/8, and look how adorable all of these beachy Cape Cod looks are...and it doesn't hurt that all summer looks at Gymboree are now 20% off!

And how adorable is this green batik print summer dress?  I was lucky enough to receive this beautiful dress as a gift for our baby girl on the way!

And of course we can't forget the boys!

And if you need something a little more dressy this summer, check out these adorable looks from Target and Bloomingdales!

Happy Shopping!

Now that the warm weather is here I am so excited to start wearing more of my colorful and nautical inspired jewelry!

Some of my favorite nautical jewelry is from Kenneth Jay Lane, the master in bold and chic imitation jewelry designs.  Unfortunately even though KJL's jewels are much less expensive than their designer counterparts, they still can be considered a splurge at usually more than $100 an item...

I love these KJL colorful coral starfish earrings, but at $145 they are still a little out of my budget...

I can't get over how similar these earrings are to the classic KJL design!  You can find these earrings online at Shop Furbish, or if you live in NYC you can find them at J Fay Jewelry at 782 Lexington Avenue, between 60th and 61st Street.  I picked up both the coral and turquoise designs last week, and they were 25% off to boot!  If you are ever in the area J Fay has some great luxe for less jewelry designs, and every time I have been there the entire store has been 25% off!

Will these starfish earrings be coming home with you soon?

Happy Shopping!
