Couture At Your Door!

Disclosure: I received a dress from Lending Luxury for review purposes only.  All opinions are 100% my own.

Over the weekend, the Greater Cleveland YMCA celebrated their 160th anniversary with a gala at The Westin in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. It was a wonderful evening thanks to the great group of people from Parker Hannifin, the outstanding entertainment by Band X, and my fabulous dress from Lending Luxury!



As the date of the gala was quickly approaching, I found myself running out of time to go shopping for a dress and, as luck would have it, Lending Luxury and I happened to cross paths. Lending Luxury is an online fashion store, with the most exquisite couture dresses available to rent. These are not your everyday dresses, however, they are the crème de la crème of dresses! You know, the designer labels that celebrities wear on the red carpet. Many of the dresses on Lending Luxury's site retail for well over $1,000!  And the best part is, it will cost you nowhere near that to rent one!

Luvali Convertibles - Three Looks, One Bag!

Do you find yourself in the mood for a colorful handbag one day and a neutral classic bag the next day? Are you always changing your handbag to match your outfits? If this describes you, then you will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Luvali bags! Luvali Convertibles allow you the versatility of changing the look of your bag without changing the base bag. That means there is no need to remove your belongings from one bag to another when you want a different look! 

The Luvali Convertibles concept first came to life when a mother and daughter were struggling to pack for a trip they were taking. They had too many bags and shoes and thought it would be great if they could just have interchangeable slips to put over their handbags! Hence, Luvali Convertibles was born.


Luvali bags come in three different sizes: The Chic Convertible Bag (11" x 5"); the Classic Convertible Bag (11" x 8") and the Tote Convertible Bag (11" x 14"). Each base bag is black and comes with a reversible slip for three different looks.


I am THRILLED to have been given the wonderful opportunity to review the Rockin Moroccan Chic Convertible Bag and OH MY.... It is the cutest bag EVER!  The base bag is a simple and timeless classic black bag. What's there not to love about that, right? Then, you can spice it up by slipping on the reversible sleeve with a fun Moroccan print or a trendy black/white swirl print. Too cute!


Changing the look of the bag couldn't be easier! The Base Bag stays in place and the slip is placed over the base bag and zipped up the side (see below). Super easy and super fast! Turn the slip inside out to change up the look. My bag is perfectly sized to hold my cell phone, keys, and credit cards. The interior of the base bag is completely lined and has an interior zipper pouch and an exterior zipper pouch. The entire Luvali concept has been planned out very well. I was surprised that when the slip is placed over the base bag, you can still access the exterior zipper pouch with ease - a very nice touch!  

Super fast and super easy! Slip, zip and go!



Isn't it ADORABLEI am really enjoying the versatility of my Luvali Convertible Bag!

Don't miss a thing! Be sure to connect with Luvali on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news and promotional updates!

Visit Luvali Convertibles to see other bags and their fabric options. There are also other fun convertibles to check out, such as hats, rings and kids' convertibles. And, now through October 31, 2014, readers will receive 30% off Luvali products when they use discount code "Style Decor" in the discount field. Enjoy!

Fall in Love with Florals!

Mark your first day back with a burst of blooms. Whether you think bright or stick to a subtle palette, floral prints are an easy way to up the charm factor of your look. And this season, they also go beyond the flirty dress — we spotted a floral bomber that would make for a perfect alternative to our favorite denim jacket. Not wanting to go all over with the petals? Stick to an accessory, like a Johnston & Murphy scarf or pretty ships wristlet (shown below).

Colosseum Workout Apparel Review & Giveaway!


Where modern lifestyle meets performance!

When you look good, you feel good. And if you feel good, it will motivate you to get active. I can't think of a better way to get motivated than with fantastic workout apparel, can you? It certainly works for me and that's why I'm so excited to be wearing my new fitness apparel from Colosseum. When I slip my tank and skort set on, I can't wait to get outside and go for a long walk or jog! 




Style, Storage & Space of Crystal Stemware!

There seems to be much debate on whether or not to store crystal stemware glasses rim side down or stem side down. Some experts will tell you to never place your crystal glasses rim side down, because you are adding stress to the delicate rim. Wine connoisseurs will tell you placing glasses rim side down doesn't allow the glasses to breathe. It can add stress to the delicate rim. Makes sense to me. Afterall, glasses are not designed to be placed rim side down. However, I personally store my glasses rim side down to keep the inside of the glass dirt and dust free!

The Epiphanie Camera Bag Delivers Function, Fashion & Style {Review & Giveaway}

I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but ever since I got my DSLR camera, I do enjoy snapping pictures. I take my camera with me everywhere I go.  Unfortunately, up until a few weeks ago, I was lugging my camera around in a not-so-pretty black nylon bag that was free with the purchase of my camera.  I really wanted something stylish that looked great and kept my camera safe and secure too.

Enter my Epiphanie Stella Bag!



Thanks to Epiphanie Bags I now own one of the most incredibly fashionable camera bags EVER!  I'm in love with my hot pink Stella Camera Bag! Isn't she a beauty?! This bag is certainly not your average boring nylon camera bag.  My camera bag is made from a high-quality synthetic leather that is water resistant, super strong, and durable. It even has protective metal feet on the underside! I can be a little rough on my bags, so durability is very important to me.
