Seating Arrangements

May 20, 2014 by robincharmagne 2 Comments

slipper chairs, tufted chairs

one//two

Hello,
Every room needs good seating for day-to-day living and for entertaining. Here are two good seating options for a more traditional room but I think they would work in a more contemporary setting as well. These two seating options have some nice features for comfort and style. Add an accent pillow for a bit more pizzazz.

Seating choice #1 is over $500 bucks; seating choice #2 is under $200. Which one would you choose?

Peter Pilotto And Funday Monday

February 10, 2014 by robincharmagne 12 Comments

Hello,
Happy Monday lovelies. I’m so excited today to co-host Funday Monday with Molly at still being [Molly] and Carly at Lipgloss and Crayons. These ladies are amazing bloggers so be sure to head over to their blogs and meet two fun ladies!

Well, we may have Snowmageddon part two in The A this week! But I think folks will be much more prepared than they were for part one.

Target, Peter Pilotto

So, yesterday, the Peter Pilotto Target collabo debuted. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it’s seems like this collabo wasn’t hyped up with the same intensity as the last two, Prabal Garung and 3.1 Phillip Lim. I arrived at my neighborhood Target and there was no one shopping the collection. It’s a really cute collection of dresses, skirts/slacks, jackets, and rompers, in two color families, the black/yellow and then the red/blue. The prints are really bold and the collection has a lot of pattern mixing and contrasts not only in color but fabric as well. The price points are reasonable and top out at $70 bucks. As with the last collabo, I didn’t buy anything as these collabos don’t accommodate the plus-size market but you can shop the collection here.

Fitness Toys – Friday Faves – 37

January 10, 2014 by robincharmagne Leave a Comment

Fitness_gadgets_robincharmagne

The Details:
Electronic smart fork – lights up and vibrates when you are eating too fast so you consume fewer calories – $100.00
Kitchen safe – enjoy a snack and then lock it up to avoid emotional eating, save those snacks for your cheat day – $49.95
Jawbone fitness wristband – tracks how you sleep, eat, and move – $130.00
Body fat/water monitor – includes your water weight – $59.99
Destiny’s Child – Jumpin Jumpin – $.99

Happy Friday,
How’s your 2014 going, still writing 2013? I have, more than a few times. But this year is off to a fab start. This week? That’s another story, just getting back into the groove, getting organized, setting priorities, revamping stuff, just getting it all together for a great year. I am in a three week training class so my posts will be slimmed down until I finish training. Can’t wait to fill you in!

I posted about my 50 X 50 Challenge and sounds like you lovelies are getting fine too! I am a gadget girl so today I’m posting some fitness “toys” to help us get Fit and Fabulous. The smart fork was all the rage at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) last year, we all eat too fast, this toy slows us down resulting in fewer calories. That food safe was invented for me. I can stash my oatmeal cookies and vanilla wafers and schedule a sweet snack for a cheat day. Now if I could fit a mojito in there too! Sometimes we think we’re really getting in, that Jawbone will tell the truth. And, I know y’all hate water weight, now we can see it and get rid of it by drinking more water. Of course you need some jams for your workout, get moving with Jumpin Jumpin!

Honestly just thinking about getting fit can be a drag, but these toys make it a lot more fun! I’m ordering the food safe! What’s your favorite fitness toy?

OOTD #30 – Chill Mode

November 13, 2013 by robincharmagne 4 Comments

Faux Leather_skinnies_robincharmagne

The Details
Sweatshirt (Marshalls) – similar here
Skinnies (Eloquii) – similar here
Kicks (Coach) – similar here
Jewelry – various personal faves

Hey Pretties,
It is C-O-L-D in the A today, I mean like 30’s. So, I am in chill mode. When the temp drops and that wind starts howling, I really prefer to stay in and chillax in front of the tv watching a classic movie like Imitation of Life or Mildred Pierce, sipping on a hot cup of peppermint tea or chai latte. I need a chill mode outfit for these days and today’s OOTD is just the ticket – sweatshirt, skinnies, and kicks. That’s easy right!

The sweatshirt with faux leather accents at the arms and neck was a steal from Marshalls at $19.98. A good pair of skinnies go with everything and are just right for lounging, especially these with a touch of spandex. I’m not a sneaker chick at all but these patent leather sneakers from Coach have more ath-leisure look and I love the ribbon laces, very cool.

One of the most fun aspects of blogging is blogger giveaways. The necklace is a special piece I won in a giveaway sponsored by the lovely shopfreak. It’s from Charmedseed Jewelry and each piece is handmade, cut, letter-stamped, and distressed individually. And totally personalized, you can choose any word or phrase. I chose “powerful” because as women sometimes I think we forget just how powerful we are in this world. The other jewelry is some of my favorite more casual chill pieces like the rubber bracelet from Marc Jacobs, on sale now for $20 bucks – great stocking stuffer!

What’s your chill mode outfit?

Boom! Pow! Wow!

November 7, 2013 by robincharmagne 6 Comments

BOOM-POW1_crop2

The Details
Here!

Hey pretties,
Almost the weekend, you know I had to tell ya’! I just love this trend. It is so fun and quirky! It’s based on campy television shows like the old Batman and Robin series where POW or BOOM popped up on the screen in those ridiculously scripted fight scenes. Yeah I know, some of you are too young to remember…LOL! I would definitely wear this trend with of course my favorite, boyfriend jeans and maybe add a biker jacket to make it more edgy. And remember you can always dip your toe in a new trend by wearing just hints of it, such as the ring or the socks.

Remember I told y’all about the wildly popular and successful 3.1 Phillip Lim Collection at Target. The boom sweatshirt was one of the most popular items, guess what…wait for it… it’s $20.98, Boom! It’s totally OK to have something unexpected in your wardrobe.

Do you have something fun in your closet?

Enter the Holiday Giveaway and getcha some POW or BOOM or hey both. Enter with the Rafflecopter!

The Details:
Sweatshirt (Old Navy) – here
Shirt (old) – similar here
Jeans (Macy’s) – here
Boots (old) – similar here
Earrings (Target) – here
Bangle (Charming Charlie) – similar here
Bracelet(Charming Charlie) – similar here
Satchel (Coach) – similar here

Hello pretties,
I’m trying out a comfy, casual fall fashion trend – the embellished sweatshirt. I’m talking rhinestones, studs, and sequins. I love sparkly bling of any kind and wearing it on a sweatshirt is right up my alley. I was so stoked to find the one I’m wearing at Old Navy for $20 bucks! It’s the perfect day/night option which can be paired with boyfriend jeans for day or a cute leather skater skirt for night.

Check out the lovely Jess at Jess Style Rules rocking another sparkly sweatshirt from Old Navy and these sparkly gems from ASOS.

These are not your old ratty gym sweatshirts. If you’re looking for a more creative and affordable option, try a DIY. This would be an easy project, some inspiration here, here, here. I blogged about Wander and Hunt website where you can purchase complete rhinestone kits. Hmmm, I think I’m feeling inspired too, more to come on the blog. You can wear it solo or layer with a chambray shirt or turtleneck. Sweatshirts are pretty and practical and a good summer to fall transition piece too!

Have you tried the embellished sweatshirt trend?

OOTD #26 – More Maxi

September 25, 2013 by robincharmagne 4 Comments

more maxi

Hey pretties,
How’s it going? We’re half way to the weekend, woohoo! Today’s OOTD is more maxi, taking the maxi skirt from summer to fall. Gray is one of my favorite neutrals that works for warmer and cooler temps! Leather is very on trend and a good transition piece for the fall. But, this jacket has just a hint of faux leather, a much more affordable option than real leather. Until it gets cooler, I’ll definitely wear this maxi more often pairing it with jackets and cardigans.

The Details;
Jacket – (T.J. Maxx) – similar here
T-shirt – (old) – similar here
Skirt – (old) – similar here
Handbag – (T.J. Maxx) – similar here
Necklace – (T.J. Maxx) similar here
Earrings – (Ashley Stewart) – similar here
Shoes (old) – similar here

Do you have a favorite summer piece you’re transitioning to fall?
