Win the most adorable baby outfit!

Feb 7, 2012
Paige Lauren BabyThis photo isn’t just an excuse to show off my big man (Rex is 5 months old!). It also serves a more practical purpose, which is to introduce you to one of my favorite baby brands PaigeLauren (paigelaurenbaby.com). Rex is very happy “modeling” this classic hoodie jacket and sweatpants for many reasons. First off, he’s very particular like his father and appreciates attention to detail. From the cute polka-dot pockets to the cozy fabric, which is seriously as soft as his blankie, this has become one of our favorite outfits. What’s also exciting is that one lucky reader has the chance to win a PaigeLauren baby design! We’re giving away this newborn sac in emerald. To enter this giveaway, “like” thebeautygirl.com on facebook or “follow” me on twitter (twitter.com/NPTheBeautyGirl) and RT this message. Good Luck! P.S. PaigeLauren baby ruby and quartz pieces are on sale through the end of February (30% off) for Valentine’s Day.

Shop Nicole Miller at JCPenney

Feb 2, 2012
There’s nothing quite like the exhilarating rush you get from scoring a great designer deal. Many of my favorite pieces, like my Proenza Schouler for Target dress, are the ones I’ve been snatching up since the beginning — when Target first launched its now hugely popular designer collections. Other companies like JCPenney have wisely followed in this lucrative trend, and the spring Nicole by Nicole Miller line at JCPenney has some new additions and adorable looks. Nicole Miller has been doing the line for JCPenney since 2005, but sleepwear, sunglasses, fine jewelry, and bridal jewelry have just been added to the collection. See what we’re lusting over. (P.S. It’s all under $100!)   Read More

Cashmere at Costco!

Nov 26, 2011
A few months back, I revealed how you can plan a classy wedding at Costco. The retailer continues its relationship with the luxury market, and this go around is all about cashmere. Hint: cashmere is always an appreciated holiday gift. The Italian fashion label Enzo Mantovani, known for their buttery sweaters, is being carried at select Costco locations at 75% off department store prices from now until Jan. 4. Or, you can shop the styles online at costco.com. The loot includes a variety of merino and cashmere tops, ranging from $59.99 to $159.99. Considering most cashmere sweaters start at $150, I think this is a great deal. In this photo, I’ve got on the black V-neck sweater ($119.99). It’s really comfy and has become my new winter staple. I just hope Rex doesn’t spit up on me every time I wear it! Here’s the link to find out where and when this special event will take place at a Costco near you: http://www.enzo-mantovani.com/Enzo_Mantovani/region.html
