Dress for Less: Bethenny's Navy Blue Jumpsuit

Have you all been watching Bethenny Ever After on Bravo (Monday nights at 10/9c)?  I started, not sure I'd get hooked, but I did! I love it.  She is so much better on her own show than RHONY.  I feel like Bethenny helps you see how it really is to be a busy (I mean a REALLY busy) mom, full-time worker, newly wed and on the go.  Plus, she is rediculously hilarious - and dresses really well.

Get Bethenny's navy blue jumpsuit look for LESS.

You can get her similar jumpsuit from Old Navy for $29.50 (and now through 3/20 get 30% off with the coupon in post below)

And get her bling-look, too:

Paved gold ring for under $6 from Forever 21 and Textured Teardrop gold earrings for under $3 from Forever 21

And you can't forget to drink this while wearing all that:

Has anyone ever tried Bethenny's Skinny Girl Margarita?

All Teal & My New Theit Bag {& Discount for You}

One of these are not like the other...

Last night was my 2nd Photography Class.  We got to get out and explore Kansas City Nelson-Atkins Art Museum architecture and lights.  We started in evening light, shot through dusk and into night to experiment with our exposure settings, white balance and flash.  It was fun to get out for an hour and shoot pics.

Our homework for this class was to bring a few photos with the theme - Blue.  You can see my final selected "blue" photo over at Lulu's A Candid Life at our weekly YYou See, I See post.  Her blue and my blue themed pics are quite different... :)  Check it out and let us know your thoughts!  What would your picture have been?

Just in time for my 2nd Photog class, I got my new Theit Bag!!

Love love love!  It looks and also acts as a purse, but with the customizable inner compartments & dividers - it holds all my camera equipment, too!  So I'm only lugging ONE bag around...one very stylish, leather bag with a tassel!  And you can get one too...  Go here to get on the wait list ASAP!  I only  had to wait a week or so.  And then they'll email you when your bag is ready for purchase.  Even better - when you check out, enter DAVIES15 in the discount box and get $15 off for Chasing Davies readers!  Hurry to get on the list - this promo code expires on March 19th.


My outfit of different hues of teal was inspired by the latest fashion week favs I posted about here!  I loved Takkoon's blue on blue outfit, so did this a little bit with teal!

Every year I look for and consider sequin dresses!  I actually don't have one, and in the past have settled on a sequin tank or accessory instead, never have found the right dress.  This year there seems to be way more sequinedy dresses that have me salivating and trying, yet again.

In the mail (so a review to come soon) is this coppery dress by Jessica Simpson:

Dress for Less: Short Suede J.Crew Boots {and Gap Stores 30% off Coupon}

I love J.Crew's softer version of the shorter-Frye-like boots.  These are a bit more tailored and sleek and I think they are fabulous...but not springing for J.Crew's $200 price tag.

So then my friend at work wore a very similar looking pair of boots...

These boots are from Old Navy.  However, not seemingly available online - so check your local ON store.

Polka Dot Lorelei Dress from J.Crew

One of the last J.Crew summer sales with an extra percent off, I snagged the Printed Embossed Lorelei Dress in azure from J.Crew.  This dress is only $39.99! I finally got the chance to wear it and am so glad I got it!

I layered a cardi over this dress and wore with the Urban Outfitters pumps* for an office look:

I plan to break this dress out a couple more times before we're too much into Fall/Winter.


*When I get something new that I really like, I tend to wear them way too much and then eventually need a long break.  I wish I didn't do that... but I do.

Dress for Less: Sexy Red Dresses

Each of these red dresses can take you from summer to fall and back again.  You can't go wrong at all with a red dress.  And I love the little embellishments to each of these.  Did I mention one of these is half the price as the other?

Breaking up the Gray and a HUGE Discount

As you might remember, I painted all my hallways and stairways gray that allowed the newly white trim really pop!  Slowly, I've broken up all the gray with the stairway makeover and was trying to decide on the mirror I got for the  hallway.  Well, the after all your great comments and feedback, and not wanting to deal with a sulking husband, I decided not to hang that mirror and instead....

Put this on the wall instead!  I saw this amazing picture on a blog I read, S.HopTalk and Suzanne was so kind to send me the hi-res photo when I contacted her about if I could buy the picture. I was so excited because upon seeing the photo on her blog, I immediately loved it!  It was just so pretty and fit perfectly with my house.

Then a couple days later, a Groupon popped up for $45 16x20 canvas with photo of my choice!  How perfect! I bought it and later uploaded the photo and got my new art work for only $45 total.  Even better news - You, too can get this deal!

Today that same company, Canvas by Demand, is offering another Groupon that ANYONE, ANYWHERE can purchase because this is for online order!  The Deal:

$45 for One 16"x20" Gallery-Wrapped Canvas Including Shipping and Handling from Canvas on Demand ($126.95 Value)

Get this deal TODAY only (Thursday, July 22) by clicking here! However, you can use this gift certificate/credit now through October 23rd!  So if you don't have a photo yet - you have time to find one/take one before using your Groupon deal.

I had a great experience with Canvas on Demand.  They even upgraded my canvas size to 16x24 for no extra charge because my photo git that size better.  The canvas came securly and safely wrapped up and even came with wall hanging hooks and all.

If you are new to Groupon, I highly recommend taking the plunge!  These deals are NOT too good to be true - they are great deals and are true! :) I've gotten like 7 things via Groupon now and have had great experiences with using them all!  You just click the above link, enter your email and create a password and your are free to purchase these radically discounted offers!
