Heart #122 goes to...the Big Skinny Wallet

Heart #122 goes to...the Big Skinny Wallet!  I am always on the eternal quest for the wallet that is just right.  Right now, that wallet is the Big Skinny Executive Checkbook Bi-Fold Wallet with zippered pocket in pink.  I found this in a little boutique and the girl working there assured me that it was a great wallet and that every girl working there was carrying one.  She even showed me hers.  I have a bit of a wallet problem, as well as a pocketbook problem and let's be honest,  I have a problem with boots.  But, let's stick to one problem at a time.  Sometimes my wallet is so spacious and that leaves me with a whole lot of room to shove all kinds of receipts and papers in it.  That's great until I need to find something and I end up needing a file cabinet when I'm done.  There is absolutely no reason to carry that much paperwork in my wallet.  When I transferred everything into my new Big Skinny, I did have a few things left over but I quickly realized that I really didn't need them. This wallet is awesome.  It doesn't end up being big and bulky and everything fits.  It is so organized now and it has remained that way for the past month, through all of my Christmas shopping too!  Click this link and you can look at all of the different types of wallets that Big Skinny makes.  There's even a men's wallet.  The one pictured above is $25.95 and you won't be sorry.  It comes in a bunch of different colors too.

Heart #119 goes to...UGG® Australia "Igloo" Gloves

Heart #119 goes to...UGG® Australia "Igloo" Gloves!  I just came  in from walking my dog and I probably need better gloves...it is freezing out and I know this isn't even the coldest it will be this winter.  I am a huge lover of all UGG products and these gloves have made my list.  I love the zig-zag lacing and shearling cuffs.  They come in black and chestnut and you can get them here for about $145.  Yoo hoo...Santa!!

Heart #104 goes to...Joby Gorillapod Flexible Tripod

Heart #104 goes to...Joby Gorillapod Flexible Tripod!  I ordered this last week and I love it.  I used it over the weekend at a friend's rehearsal dinner party and I'm glad I had it.  I didn't end up using it as a tripod, but as an extension to the camera that I was holding up in the air to get a better view of the speeches being given.  I used mine with my Flip Mino HD camera.  There are a few to choose from, I ordered the Gorillapod Magnetic.  It holds up to 11.5oz.  It sells for $24.95.  This is a must have!

Heart #74 goes to...Felix Rey "Rain Rain Go Away" Clear Bubble Umbrella


Heart #74 goes to...Felix Rey "Rain Rain Go Away" Clear Bubble Umbrella!  It's been raining all day and I have been out a few times already to walk my dog.  This is the umbrella I need.  It will definitely protect my hair from the drizzle and rain blowing at me, threatening to frizz my lovely locks!  And it's clear so I can keep it low and see where I'm going.  I love the red heart and the "rain rain go away" printed on it.  I found this at Bloomingdales for $65.

Heart #73 goes to...Bosom Button

Heart #73 goes to...Bosom Button!  I have to order a few of these.  There have been so many times when a shirt just didn't fit right.  So you start looking for the right camisole, or if that doesn't work you begin the dreaded search for a safety pin.  And then the safety pin requires a few tries before it looks right.  Bosom Button takes all of that frustration away and how cute are these buttons?  Simply push the pin through the fabric and fasten the clasp.  You can even keep one handy in your pocketbook in case you ever lose a button. 
They are made with Swarovski crystals, quality pearls or gems.  They sell in collections of three for $25 dollars or individually for $12 dollars each, and they come in all of the following...

                                       


                                                         
Secure a low cut blouse...

                                                                         
or even a sarong!

Heart #66 goes to...Pink Ribbon Purse Hanger



Heart #66 goes to...Pink Ribbon Purse Hanger with Pink Stones!  Last year I purchased a bunch of these and have been giving them out to friends and family.  They are on backorder right now at www.nuptialknickknacks.com, but they sell four for $26.  I always have mine in my purse ready to hang my pocketbook, because there's no way I'm dropping it on the floor.  I can't believe some people will pay hundreds of dollars for a purse and then put it on a dirty floor.  Anyway, these come with a nice black velvet drawstring pouch to keep it in.  They make great bridal party gifts!

Heart #7 goes to...Vera Bradley pocketbook

Heart #7 goes to my Vera Bradley pocketbook in the Imperial Toile pattern.  This is the latest addition to my collection, we'll get into the others later.  I love it because it's small enough so that I won't fill it with too many things, but big enough so that I can carry all the important things.  It has two wraparound pockets on the outside.  I like to keep my cell phone and keys in those pockets because it's convenient and easy to get to.  The bag goes for $48.  A woman in the store told me that she had no problem removing the insert in the bottom of the bag and throwing the bag in the washing machine.  It came out clean and good as new!

Heart #6 goes to...Lindsay Phillips ballet flats

Heart #6 goes to Lindsay Phillips ballet flats with interchangeable snaps.  These flats are so comfortable that you'll feel like you're walking on clouds.  They sell for about $64 dollars and the snaps are $12 each.  Currently the website offers black and gold flats.  The link above takes you directly to the website where you can choose from 30 different interchangeable snaps.  I'm adding two pictures of the snaps that I bought.
The "Ila" snap.
The "Danielle" snap

A cute website called Kokimo offers the flat in bronze, which I bought, and looks great with the Danielle snap.

Heart #5 goes to...Pandora jewelry


Heart #5 goes to Pandora Jewelry.  My sister got me my Pandora bracelet for my last birthday and it's almost halfway full thanks to my darling hubby.  I have the silver bracelet with mostly silver charms and a few silver/gold ones.  I am also looking at the black bracelet.  It looks really nice and I think I might add that to my collection.

The peace sign charm below is my most recent addition to my collection and one of my favorites.  Better get one quick, they are selling out fast!

Heart #3 goes to ...Dillon Rogers bracelets


Heart #3 goes to my Dillon Rogers leather bracelet.  There are so many different types to choose from.  There are thin, medium, and wide bracelets that can be personalized with your own message or you can create your own.  I have a leather message bracelet with the phrase "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger".  It was a gift from my sister in law and I absolutely love it.  It has really cool beads that hang in the back too.  Here's a picture of the back of the bracelet....
You have to check out the website because there are just too many different types to describe as well as necklaces and belts.
