Friday

weekend - 6

I know, I’ve fallen off the blogging radar screen the past few days. It’s funny because a couple weeks back I spoke to my alma mater’s fashion communications class about blogging, and one of the things I pointed out is how important consistency is. Ha! Look at me. I totally slacked off this week. It happens, I know. It’s just been one of those weeks and I couldn’t be more excited that it’s Friday. From back to back to back deadlines to a big event I co-hosted (can’t wait to share all the pictures with you next week) to getting ready to go out of town in a few days (NYC, here I come! Can’t believe I haven’t been back to my most recent home since November), it’s been busy. Here is some inspiration for the weekend ahead. I hope you enjoy your couple days off. Here’s to Friday!

Cornelia Guest + TOOTSIES

Cornelia-Guest

I’m so excited because tomorrow night I’m co-hosting an event at TOOTSIES, and handbag designer Cornelia Guest will be there. It’s going to be a fun night of shopping, swag bags, sips (SlimRitas), and sweets (Rustika Cafe & Bakery). Bonus: A portion of the sales from the night go to Pup Squad Animal Rescue. If you haven’t seen a Cornelia Guest bag, put your seatbelt on because they are not only totally gorgeous, but they are priced well, too! It’s a win-win in my book. Hope to see all of you Houstonians out at TOOTSIES tomorrow night (make sure to RSVP)! And for those who don’t live in Houston, of course I’ll be recapping the entire event on the blog soon.

Mother’s Day Gift: Photo Canvas

As I mentioned in my earlier post today, I decided on a photo canvas for my Mother’s Day gift this year. I felt it was the perfect choice, as it’s personal and something my mom will have forever. In my ABC Segment with Patricia Lopez this afternoon, we talked all about this gift idea, and how economical it really can be (if you know what you’re looking for). The 3 photo canvases I made came from Snapfish ($35.70), Printcopia ($37.55), and Walgreens ($39.99). As you can see, all are right around the same price, they were all extremely simple to make, and each came out great. There was a Snapfish promo code offered at the time, which saved me $9.00. There was a Printcopia promo happening, which saved me $34.00. Both I had to expedite to ensure they got here on time, but Walgreens offered same day pick up for no extra charge, and they are offering a promo this week, as well. If you’re interested in this gift idea or something similar, always check for promo codes (9 times out of 10 I’ve learned sites and stores offer them). Have a Happy Mother’s Day!
