I got this cool thing... Personalized Thank You Notecards!!

Sooo I had a baby in October and many wonderful people have been buying my baby things! So grateful and thankful for all the love. :) My friend made these fabulous personalized notecards and sent them our way. It was such a lovely and wonderful surprise to receive them in the mail!!
She designed them to be uniquely ours. They feature a cartoon of my husband, daughter and I along with our passions. See the picture below:



My husband is a TV personality and plays the keyboard. I wrote a couple of children's books, do photography, voice overs and act in film/TV.

When I sent these out to friends & family to thank them for the baby gifts, they were thrilled to receive such a fun, wacky and personalized thank you card.

Check out Auntie Shanna's website HERE. She can personalize whatever you want!! :) :)

The packaging is also adorable.



Happy Shopping!!

I got this cool thing... Wonder Woman MAC makeup!!

Check it out! MAC makeup has a new line of WONDER WOMAN inspired makeup. So fun! I ran over to my local MAC store and picked up a couple of things. I got THIS awesome eye shadow palette in mauve's and purples.

This is a great color palette for all eye colors. Purple and mauve look great on blue, brown and green! I just love the case with the wonder woman logo. :) See the pictures below.


I also got THIS awesome little coin purse/makeup case/belt with brushes inside. It comes with a blush/powder brush, concealer brush and foundation brush in a nice bright blue! I use it every day as a little wallet. I love it. The belt is so fun too!
Check out the pictures below.



Note the awesome blue and white star interior!

The box it comes in is also pretty awesome! Check it out:



The wonder woman t-shirt and tote bag are an online exclusive and are also pretty awesome! Check em out HERE.

Happy Shopping!

I got this cool thing... DVF Jeanne Wrap Dress!

I have always wanted to get a DVF wrap dress. DIANE von FURSTENBERG = Classic elegance.
This past year they had this awesome pattern I loved! The Graffiti "Love is Life" Jeanne wrap dress...but I was pregnant at the time and wanted to wait until after I had the baby.
By then that pattern was no longer available, but there was this other adorable tiny heart pattern. Perfect! I was having a Valentine's/Meet the baby party and this dress was highly suitable. Check it out HERE.
This is a picture of it hanging in my closet:
And here is a close up picture of the pattern and texture:
It is 100% silk and the hearts have a dash of greenish yellow in the center.

Here is a picture of me wearing it just before the party with my baby.

DIANE von FURSTENBERG wrap dresses are great because you can dress em up and dress em down. Throw on boots an a jean jacket and it's a great casual outfit. Heels and pearls and it's pure class with a dash of vintage style.
Happy Shopping!

I got this cool thing... personalized Nashelle necklace!

So I just had a baby! She will be 16 weeks on Saturday. See picture below. :) She is AWESOME and I wanted to get something personalized for her that I could wear.
I am always looking for cool new jewelry and my favorite local boutique, WINK NYC, always has awesome stuff. Check out their WEBSITE. I came across the Nashelle Identity Bar Necklace on their website. Check it out. So I went into the store and saw that they also do round discs you can personalize and add a birthstone. How fun! I ended up getting my daughters name, Cali, on the disc and her birthstone. See the picture here:
I absolutely adore it. But I got so excited that I wanted to order another one with my name on it!! Nashelle has their own website where you can custom order and build your necklace. Check it out!
Sooo I ordered my name on the identity bar and a mini star charm with my husbands initial. Check it out!
How fun right?! Happy Shopping!!!
Also if you're into personalized items check out my own jewelry. I personally design and make a line of jewelry called SKORSTAR. One of the items is a sterling silver Tiffany style personalized silver ball bracelet. Check it out here: http://carolinelesley.blogspot.com/
