Find the Perfect Swimsuit For Memorial Day Fun!

22 May

With Memorial Day coming, is your water wardrobe ready?

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer and that means lot’s of summer activities, especially going to the beach or hanging out by the pool.

So how is your swimsuit situation?

Luckily, I’m always here to help!  I’ve put together a small sampling of perfectly fashionable swimsuits for the whole family!

First up, the ladies: Athleta & Macy’s

Athleta is home to a variety of designs, particularly for anyone who spends as much time in the water as they do exercising on the beach.  I wanted to include them since I know many of you like an athletic look to a swimsuit and one that is designed to stay on in the surf.

However, if you’re looking for a more traditional design, Macy’s has a positively huge selection to choose from!

For the guys, Macy’s is also my suggestion for the perfect pair of trunks!

And for the wee-ones, Naartjie Kids has some adorable swimwear for the summer! You might want to get two they’re so cute!

There you have it! A style for everyone in the family.

Let me know if you need ANY help finding the perfect style for your body type and I would be happy to help in any way I can.

Remember your sunblock!

Show a Teacher How Much You Care!

7 May

Giving Back to the People Who Always Give So Much!

Today is National Teacher Appreciation Day and to help out our amazing teachers, a few of your favorite retailers are offering some terrific deals!

Before we get to the sales, I wanted to offer a special congratulations to our Celebrate Teachers Winner, Mr. Jamie Barnhill of Forest View Elementary in Durham.

He’s the winner of a Southpoint  $500 Shop Etc. gift card for being a top notch teacher!

20130506_142914

The winning essay was submitted by one of his kindergarten students (pictured with Mr. Barnhill above) with the help of her mom:

“Mr. Barnhill is, hands down, the best Kindergarten teacher ever!  He genuinely loves each and every one of the kids that he teaches.  He makes sure that every child is engaged and included in every lesson.  Mr. B (as he is known) uses nature and animals to drive lessons home.  His passion for learning and making every moment count make him the best teacher for kids just starting to learn.”

Congrats to ALL OF the Teacher Finalists:
Kathleen Snapp (Green Hope High School)
Ernetta Cagle (Phillips Middle School)
Audrey Pinion (Spring Valley Elementary School)
Susan Brooks (Cameron Park Elementary School)
Brian OKeefe (Jordan High School)
Mr. Anderson (Granville Central High School)

GURU Holiday Fav’s Sweepstakes FINAL DAY: Madewell

21 Dec

After 12 great days, the GURU Fav’s

Sweepstakes is ending!

But I think we’re going out on a high note, with one of my all-time favorite retailers sending us off: Madewell!

I blogged about this amazing store when it opened in July. (You can read my post HERE)And to be honest, I’m just as excited about Madewell (Macy’s Wing, Lower Level) today as I was back then! I love how easily they’re able to make the layered look seem so accessible and easy to pull off.

Plus, the bold hues, colors and patterns are just so much fun to have in my closet.  Everything is very feminine and girly-girl, but not so much so that you feel uncomfortable.  It’s just the perfect balance of casual and playful, comfortable and bold, preppy and hipster.

However, the thing they are most known for, are their jeans!  Which brings me to today’s GURU Fav, the Madewell Skinny Ankle Jean, which I just about live in!  No matter what look you’re going for, you’ll find a color to suit you.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This Saturday, 12/22 at Madewell, they’re doing a special bounce-back offer for 20% off denim in the new year. (valid 1/1/13-1/21/13) So now you really don’t have an excuse for not going!

I would love to hear what you think about my GURU Fav’s from Madewell by commenting below!

Today is the LAST DAY you can enter the GURU FAVORITE THINGS SWEEPSTAKES to win a $150 retailer gift card to madewell or any one of the GURU Fav stores that I showcase on the blog!  You get to choose which one. One lucky reader will randomly win! Just comment at the end of each of my posts to enter. Remember, today is the last day. If you have not entered by the end of the day today, you’ve missed out.

Thanks to everyone who commented and I wish you all the best of luck!

Official Sweepstakes Rules can be found here: OFFICIAL RULES.
