Fantastic Finds

I’ll take one of each

by Stacy on August 22, 2010

Every now and then, something pops into my inbox and I simply MUST share it with you. This was one of those things:

Amy Butler Luggage Amy Butler Bags

Amy Butler Carry On Amy Butler Tote Bag

Amy Butler Toiletry Bag

It’s Amy Butler’s new line of luggage & handbags and aren’t they gorgeous? If you’ve followed KSW since the beginning, you’ll know I have a soft place in my heart for just about everything this woman touches and this new venture is no exception. Just imagine how lovely it would be to see a few of these beauties spinning around the luggage carousel. You’ll never have to search through all the black bags again. Not to mention how inspirational they would be in planning your vacation wardrobe!

Bags seen above priced $90 & up. Available on Amy’s website or from a list of retailers you can find at the bottom of this page.

So tell me, do you love them as much as I do? Which pattern/style is your favorite? Oh yeah and last question, with gorgeous things like this arriving in my inbox, do you think I should share the good stuff more often?

KSW Loves Hazel

by Stacy on July 8, 2010

Every once in awhile I find a company that makes children’s clothing so adorable, I wish it came in my size. Hazel is one of those clothing lines and (hold me back girls) they are on Zulily today for up to 50% off. It’s going to be so hard for me not to buy one of everything. The shorts and ruffle capris are my favorite pieces for Sweet, but I would love to get my hands on a skirt like the blue & white combo for little ol’ me.

Which piece is your favorite? For your kids or for yourself …

I know what I’ll be doing this weekend …

by Stacy on July 1, 2010

I know a little brown haired girl who desperately needs me to make her one of these …

The most adorable sun dress I have EVER seen, made from a plain ole men’s white tee. Look out Daddy, I have a feeling your supply is about to get a bit low …

Stay tuned for pics of Sweet sporting this look

{Thank you Disney & Sachiko for making my day a little brighter}

Full instructions (super simple, I promise) for this beauty can be found here

KSW Loves ZuLily!

by Stacy on June 16, 2010

Today’s Sponsor Spotlight is an amazing private sale company called ZuLily.

They’re near & dear to me – not because I know them or anything, but because I truly get excited each day when their email pops into my inbox. They have the cutest kids boutique clothing I have EVER seen at prices I can actually afford (up to 70% off retail).

Seriously, I can find something new to love every time they list a new sale (sales typically last 72 hours) Here’s Three Reasons I’m Loving ZuLily today!

1) Adorable Maxis

2)Chic Peasant Dresses

3) To Die For Tunics

And it only gets more adorable … Think its hard to find cool boy clothes? Me too. ZuLily has had some great choices recently. Maternity clothes getting you down? Yep, they’ve got deals on that too. They even have an occasional baby gear or toy sale as well, but so far it is the girl clothes that have me truly smitten.

Now for the really cool part. ZuLily is one of those private sale sites where if you invite a friend and they join and buy something … you get $10! (You can invite as many friends as you like)

In addition to all that potential moolah for cute clothes, ZuLily is offering KSW readers $10 off a purchase of $50 or more – now through June 30th.

Here’s the code:
SUMMERFUN
1 per customer

Of course, I’d love to send you an invite and rack up a few $10 credits myself so if you’re interested just leave me a comment. I’m saving up to add this to my daughter’s dress up collection

Cute, eh? I also bought her a dress on ZuLily that she’ll be wearing in my sister’s wedding this September.

Gorgeous, right? Go ahead, leave a comment so you can start loving them as much as I do

What a Mom Wants

by Stacy on April 29, 2010

This is it. The year, I have finally decided to accept all the bounty that is known as Mother’s Day. In past years, I’ve felt a bit unworthy, a bit too young, a bit as if it was still a day to celebrate my own Mother and not my new role as a Mom. I guess some might find it a bit strange that I had to have three children before I felt worthy of having my own special day, but for those of you who know me and how uncomfortable I feel about gifts in general you’ll know its just another one of my many quirks.

In honor of this special occasion (me accepting the fact I am a Mom), I put together this list of things I’m currently coveting … we’ll call it What this Mom wants. And No, I haven’t gone overboard – It’s just that I still like the element of surprise and not knowing what I’m going to get so I like to give plenty of options and let my husband do the choosing. ) Hopefully you’ll find something you might like to covet too.

Happy Almost Mother’s Day!!

{Razzleberry Skirt & Forget Me Knot Top – Down East Basics}

{Rhinestone Flower & Bicycle Earrings- Urban Outfitters}

{Recolte Bleue – L’Occitane}
{Midnight Pomegranate – Bath & Body Works}

{Prima Classics – TOMS Shoes}

Why these shoes? Well, besides the fact that they are way retro cool and just my style there are few companies I love as much as TOMS. Not familiar with TOMS shoes? They’re the company that donates one pair of shoes for every pair purchased to people in need all across the globe. Read all about their One for One mission, then do yourself (and someone else) a favor and save $5 with their awesome Mother’s Day offer:
