Happy Monday!

Christmas is just around the corner and if you guys are still in need of finding gifts for your family and friends, I have the perfect solution for you: FashionWholesaleMart.com. It's perfect timing because Fashion Wholesale Mart is now open to the general public and they sell fashionable pieces at incredible Wholesale Prices! :)

Fashion Wholesale Mart sells a variety of different items such as fashionable apparel, plus size apparel, handbags, accessories, jewelry, lingerie, hats, hair goods, belts, etc.

Let's just say it's impossible not to find something to like, haha!

Fashion Wholesale Mart sent me an item to review for you guys, so let's get on with it, shall we? ;)

They send their packages via UPS and the shipping is really fast! :)

The item I chose is this coat:

Here is a look at all angles of the coat:

It's pretty, right?! :)

They sent me the pink version of the coat:

*click images to enlarge*

I got a size Medium -- it's the right size around the arms and shoulders, but it's a little too tight when closed.

It's advisable to get one size bigger than your normal size for this one. :)

Other than that, I don't have any major problems with this coat.

It's lightweight and soft -- just right for California weather.

I also really love how the hood is detachable (as seen in the photo above).

It's great to have the option to attach or detach the hood.

There were also extra surprises in the package I received from Fashion Wholesale Mart -- they included three extra items! :)

White Tunic:

White Dress with Ombre-Colored Hem:

Leopard Dress:

There are more options on their website... I actually have a long list of stuff I want to buy from them, haha! ;)

Home: Warming Winter Decor

Happy Thursday!!! :)

The past couple of days have been really cold (Nope, I am not complaining, I actually love it, haha!), and it got me thinking ahead about winter home decor... Fortunately, Catherine sent me an article talking all about Warming Winter Decor, and of course, I have to share this with you guys! :D

Warming Winter Decor

 Even with the heating turned up, a house can still feel chilly if décor is dull and cold. Making an interior space feel warm and welcoming doesn’t require a complete overhaul or pricey renovation. Instead, create a welcoming atmosphere by adding a few key pieces to your home this winter. The run-up to Christmas can get busy, so look online for home accessories and have items delivered hassle-free to your door. Homeshopping at isme.com offers a great selection of homeware, so you can get your house looking and feeling cosy before the Christmas rush begins!

 Comfortable Cushions For Your Sofa -

 Any sofa or chair – especially those in neutral tones – can instantly be made more comfortable and stylish by adding a throw and some cushions. Choose from a colour palette of rich winter tones: think burgundy, rust and maroon, and opt for fabrics like wool which are great for retaining warmth. Cushions should fit your colour scheme; though avoid making these too matchy-matchy. Try different textures, such as silk or satin, which add contrast. Metallics reflect light brilliantly and add a touch of glamour to your sofa – gold will complement a brown-toned throw perfectly. 

 Snug As A Rug -

 A new rug is an ideal way to conserve heat in a room, injecting style whilst also saving on your heating bill!
Coordinate a rug with your throw and pillows to create a strong colour scheme and prevent your room from looking too cluttered. Alternatively, a white sheepskin rug is the ultimate in cosy chic and will work well with most existing interior schemes.

Light Up Your Room -

 Lighting can easily add ambience to a living or dining room. Tapered candles on a dining table are a classic look for a dinner party and will complete a festive table. Choose candleholders in metallic tones, which will catch and reflect flickering candlelight. If you’re hosting friends or family with children, candles are not the safest option, so use fairy lights instead. To avoid making your room look untidy, opt for plain white bulbs. Drape over a mantelpiece or bookshelf and add sprigs of fresh green foliage and holly for a truly festive feel.

  

By adding a few small touches to your home this season, your interiors will be made to feel welcoming and warm.
Shop online to create your winter wonderland quickly and stress-free!

DaisyGem Giveaway: Win a jewelry piece of your choice! :) ***CLOSED***

Happy Tuesday!

Christmas is creeping up on us and to celebrate that fact, let's have another giveaway, shall we? ;)

Jenny and DaisyGem are teaming up with What Mimi Writes on a giveaway for all of you, my wonderful readers, yay!!! 

First off, here's a little something about DaisyGem:

Like. Share. Deal! At DaisyGem, we want you to have a deal every day. But not a deal on items that we feel you should buy at a special price, but on items you want to grab at a great deal. We believe items that you love should be obtained at a deal that you love also. We first start with jewelry and accessories because as females, we put most of our focus and pocket $ on the clothing we put on, rather than on the accessories that can complete the outfit. If we buy an outfit for $$$, we only have $$ (or maybe even $!) left to spend on anything else! So grab the deals that you will share with your friends everyday and you will help yourself grab it for a deal! That's our mission to better serve you.

***from www.daisygem.com***

Now, about the giveaway...

What's up for grabs?
A jewelry piece of your choice!

Here are some of the items from DaisyGem that totally caught my eye:


Double Knot Necklace ($21)/ Color Drap Necklace in Yellow ($25)/ Blue Stack Necklace ($18)/ Armor Pendant Necklace ($18)
