I’m just happy to have lived this long and the best gift is being able to celebrate this milestone with 20 of my closest girlfriends on Sunday. Big Fun!

Gifts For The Grad Girl

May 30, 2014 by robincharmagne 4 Comments

graduation gifts for her, graduation

1- Passport holder
2- Writing pen
3- Black pumps
4- Satchel Handbag
5- Wrist Watch

Hello,
Happy Friday pretties! Over the past few weeks I have loved seeing all the graduates – from pre-k to college. It’s a very exciting time! Today I’ve curated some essentials every girl needs as she enters the work world. Be prepared to hit the road at moment’s notice, get a passport! Keep a nice pen in your bag for jotting down quick notes. A black pump works with dresses and suits in any office setting whether conservative like a bank or more creative like a Marketing firm. A good handbag is essential. I love a satchel – big enough to carry a tablet, your wallet, that good pen, phone and a small cosmetic bag. And yes you can use your smart phone, but a good watch is so much more fashion forward. Grab one with a mixed metal band to go with everything.

Grad Extras

A couple of other goodies for the grad. If your insurance company doesn’t offer roadside assistance, sign up for AAA or some other service. No need to be late for that important meeting. Also, join a professional organization for your chosen profession. So if you’re in HR, join the Society for Human Resource Management. In Project Management? Join the Project Management Institute. Great way to network and stay current on the trends in your field.

I’ve graduated 4 times in my life and each one is a treasured memory. For my grad girls, from a woman I am proud to call my Sorority Sister – Maya Angelou. Your words will never be forgotten, rest in sweet peace!

Have a lovely weekend!

Hello,
Love a 3-day weekend. The Atlanta Jazz Festival was really good, great music, great food, and even better friends. Also caught X-Men:Days of Future Past at my favorite movie theater. The movie was action packed, cool effects, and the trailer to the next X-Men, whoa…I won’t spoil it!

But I have to share with you a new home decor/gifts/everything fun shop my friends and I stumbled upon. It’s right next door to the theater – Sugarboo & Co. Check it out!

Don’t you love it. The proprietor is local artist who as she says, “Deals in whimsy”! And this shop is full of fun, unique, endearing, and whimsical art, beauty goods, jewelry, textiles, stationary, and geez too many goodies to name. If you want to add something truly unique to your home decor, shop Sugarboo!

Hey!
The weekend weather was beautiful in The A! It only takes a hint of sunshine to bring folks out – everywhere I went had a crowd! Hey, no complaints here, I remember Icepocalypse! And next weekend won’t be any different because it’s Mother’s Day weekend. But before the festivities begin, you gotta pick up some goodies for Mom. I’m huge fan of personalization and Mark and Graham is a super cool site with loads and loads of great gifts ready for that personal touch! The price points for these goodies are $24 to $109, not too shabby.

Loving the handkerchiefs, so ladylike but still very modern! What’s your fave?

What’s In My Bag?

February 3, 2014 by robincharmagne 2 Comments

handbag, satchel, crossbody

Hello,
Congrats to the Seattle Seahawks! I had a blast watching the game with some good friends, but I think we ate more than we watched the game. And I have to say it, the million dollar Superbowl commercials really sucked this year, not one was a standout. Bravo to Bruno Mars though, he rocked it!

It’s been a year since my last What’s in my Bag so I’m sharing my latest with you lovelies today. This time around the talented artist Adjanys sketched all the mess in my bag.

My Mess:
Satchel – I love my Dooney & Bourke Retro Embossed Safari Crossbody. It’s actually a past season style but I love an embossed logo!
Notebook – Of course it has my initial from Poppin. Perfect size for a crossbody bag.
Sun-glass Case – Holds my eyeglasses and sunglasses.
Pen – I need something to jot down notes, this sleek Cross Stylist Ball Pen is pretty in pink.
Cell Phone – I’m in love with my Samsung Galaxy III, that is all!
Lip Balm – I know folks love eos, but it isn’t the best chap stick,IJS! I love the pink package though.
Mints – Just in case I meet “the one”, I’ll be minty fresh, at least for 3 hours with BreathSavers 3-Hour Mints.
Keys – Your keys might as well have a stylish home, a classic Tiffany and Co. keyring.
Card Case – A card case is a great alternative to a wallet.
Checkbook – I write checks on occasion, this cover is so ratty and my alma mater doesn’t carry it anymore, bummer.
Charger – A portable charger is an essential and this one works with all your electronics, checkout a pretty and practical option here.
Coin Purse – No more loose change all over my bag, thanks to this cute accessory from Coach.
Hand cream – This hand cream works wonders! Smooth, none greasy application with SPF 25.

This cross body is a good go-to, everyday bag, the perfect size and holds all my mess. Of all the messy goodies, the pink pen is my favorite! Cross still makes a great pen. What’s a favorite thing in your bag?

Hey it’s February, time to plan for Valentine’s Day. Enter the Valentine’s Day Giveaway hosted by me and some lovely blogger friends click here for a chance to win $350!

Welcome back! It’s good to be back to the blog after a nice holiday break. I had a blast spending much-needed fun time with family and friends and I hope you lovelies did too. Now I know you just finished mega Christmas 2013 shopping, but let’s get ready for Christmas 2014. As much as I like giving cool gifts, it’s so much better when gifting a good deal, so I shop sample sale sites! Today I’m running down a sample of some of my favorite sample sales sites for fashion, home decor, and even travel. You’ll need to apply for membership to receive the daily notification of the upcoming sales (click on the links above). If you like designer goods, sample sale sites are just the ticket. My most favorite site is Beyond The Rack where you’ll find all brands from Coach to Hermes to Cuisinart, a real good variety of brands. Two negatives to these sites is the shipping costs which can be a beast so watch for specials on shipping and the limited number of sales for plus-size fashions; on the positive side, finding new brands rocks and your savings can be as high as 80% for some items. That’s a deal. Start now and take advantage of some great deals all year-long.

Do you shop sample sale sites? If so, what’s your favorite?
