Have you heard of Brandslane?

Hi Everyone!  I was recently contacted by Elle Fa from Brandslane.com to do post about her website.  Of course as always I was intrigued by her email and decided to ask more questions and find out more about her site & brand.

So what is Brandslane excatly?  Brandslane is a great resource for the fashionista wanting to know the latest trends, sales, and updates from some of their favorite brands, boutiques, and designers. AND it is free!

Basically, Brandslane takes newsletters from all tons of boutiques and designers (such as marc by marc jacobs, spiegel, armani, kohls ...etc. you get the point) and puts them all in to one place and sends it to you, the subscriber, in to one daily email.

When I realized what they do I first thought....What the heck! Why didn't I think of this! and then I thought SCHWEEEEEET!!! This is so awesome!

My email box is constantly filled with daily emails and newsletters from tons of designers, stores, and boutiques! On any given day I can receive on the upwards of 100+ emails from shops alone.  Brandslane has the ability to make managing these emails much easier.  Simply put, I can remove myself from mailing lists since it is all on the newsletter!

Here is what the newsletter looks like.  It is simple and easy on the eyes. In other words, it isn't overwhelming and makes me more likely to open up and visit the shops.

The website is even more awesome!


See, it is so clean and enticing to go check out the stores....please excuse me while I go check out Betsey Johnson's sale....

You can go signup here!  It's so simple, you just put your email address in the box!

Go check them out, the are adding new shops, designers, and boutiques often!  I love it! After you signup let me know in the comments! I'd love to hear what other stores you would love to see them add!

This is a Sponsored post written by me for Brandslane.com.  All opinions are 100% mine.

Fashion Week - The Best of Monday's Runway

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Here's my recap of the best shows from Monday's Catwalk!!

I will tell you the first half of the day had me taken back the the Great Depression era! Many of the collections screamed 1940's and it was fabulous. I'm a sucker for that vintage style and many of these designs reminded me of Retro Hollywood Glam!

Prabal Gurung's designs for ICB were gorgeous and although modern I felt there was a hint of vintage twist on many of the designs!

Carolina Herrera's collection does it again! A gorgeous collection filled with vintage looks from the hair and makeup down to the designs! The prints work fabulous with the style and cuts of the pieces. I was so in love with the entire collection {although the white gown reminded me of Princess Lea's outfit from Star Wars, still pretty all the same} that I wish I could just purchase everything!

Pamella Roland also reminded me of vintage Hollywood Glam. The gowns were elegant and classy. Again, another set of dresses I expect to see on celebs in the fall.

Reem Acra's collection was phenomenal too! Many of the gowns I feel like Holiday Barbie would wear!! So gorgeous and sexy! Especially the high slitted dress that showed off that model's fabulous leg!

Then there was the vibrant Betsey Johnson! Although her collection wasn't 1940's Hollywood Glam...it did take me back to the 1980's. It was loud, crazy, and somewhat weird, but then again it's Betsey and I wouldn't expect anything else from her. I personally wouldn't wear any of these designs but they are still rather fabulous and I love her all the same! Way to go Betsey!

So, what do you think? Was Betsey's designs a little bit too much, or do you think it what we should expect from her? Which was your favorite designer of the day?

High Five for Friday

Y'all it's FRIDAY! I'm hookin' up with Lauren again for this weeks H54F link up!  This week is extra special because as you read this I am on my way to the New England coast!! Driving through the beautiful cities from Maryland to Massachusetts then from Massachusetts to Maine! Long freakin' drive but oh so worth it!  That's enough of that! Here's my five!









1. I may or may not have consumed this double fudge chocolate cake the other day...if it was me just know that it was probably delish and a cup of milk was much needed!
2. My newest bag purchase!  Betsey Johnson!  Retail $98....TJ Maxx price....$39  I'm in love!
3. Lunch with co-workers....this sandwich was so yummy!  I may or may not have felt guilty for possibly consuming a chocolate cake previously so I only ate half.
Photobucket4. I pack like a boss!  Believe it or not there are enough outfits and shoes in here for the 6 days we are in Maine (the 1 day in MA is packed in an over night bag) for both my husband & I....did I mention this is including shoes! Can I get a "WHOOT WHOOT!"
5. SIX WHOLE DAYS OFF OF WORK!

High Five For Friday!

Finally another weekend is upon us! Mine was SO fun!! Here's another H54F link up with Lauren!




1. Went to my hometown for their Damascus Days celebration! Watched the parade and some fireworks at the end of the night!  Also got to hang out with some family!  Ahh the simple country life!

2.  This is Mindy Miller. This is Mindy Miller's album on iTunes.  Go listen. She is a phenomenal musician. That is all.


3.  A beautiful butterfly can make the worst days the most joyful.  This little insect was busily working through all the gorgeous flowers in my parents front garden!  Beautiful!


4.  My creative outlet has arrived.  Short story: I requested for my upcoming birthday a new sewing machine.  What was suppose to be a surprise from my husband was ruined by the fact that he ordered from my amazon acct.  They sent me an email confirming the purchase.... haha! I cannot wait to start my sewing projects!  However, he is making me wait to open it! BOO!


5.  My Betsey Johnson sunnies FINALLY came in (I ordered them almost a month ago).  I love them!



How was your week?  Check out other High Five posts over at From my Grey Desk too!  They are wonderful!

Fashion Friday - A Beachy Confession

It's time for Fashion Friday yet again.  This week the D.C. area (and pretty much everyone below Canada) has hit a HUGE heat wave!  When I say huge I mean HUGE!  99 degrees...and it isn't even JULY people!  Yesterday temperatures raised to a hundred degrees but.... felt more like 106-110 because of the horrible humidity!!!  Dumb D.C. area!  I love you but why must you be so stinkin' humid! [Thank goodness I am traveling to Maine again this summer for a little relief!]

This weather makes me long for the beach.  Dropping my toes in the water and soaking up some much needed sun to give my wintery skin a nice healthy glow (yes, I am aware there is some slight controversy over the sun but I am responsible and only spend time in the sun outside of the danger hours; 10-2).  I just love removing the sand from every crevice my tote bag and cooler!  So annoying!

I have, however, a confession to admit: (*Singing Usher's Confession song as I type...Old Skool BABY!*)

Although I love the beach, I rarely EVER get to go.  And I am never quite comfortable in a bathing suit since, well ever!  It's gotten worse since I had a baby!  Bikini's are a definite "NO GO!"  I haven't worn one since my belly started to show with my daughter over seven years ago.  Mostly, I usually wear Tankini's but they really feel weird lately and I am tired of feeling weird!  So I have been searching for a bathing suit that will be my "go to" suit for the summer and to my surprise I am falling in love with one piece suits.  This is very strange for me since I kind of always had some sort of bathing suit complex since my mom made me do the swim team as a kid.  [DISCLAIMER: There is nothing wrong with "swim team;" it was just wrong that I was "made" to do it and I hated everything about it including the swimwear!]  I digress...

I am loving that one piece suits are making a fierce comeback.  And they are actually cute, not like those ugly Speedo's!  *SHOCKER*  For Fashion Friday I put together another Polyvore creation of what is not only an adorable suit by Kenneth Cole [***ALERT: ON SALE FOR $50 at MACY'S!!!***] but a typical outfit I would show up to the beach with.  P.S. I LOVE Pink & GREEN!
