Living in NY is so awesome.

I can wear big, gold doorknocker earrings, and feel right at home. They never went out of style here.

I feel nostalgic in New York. Like I wanna put on a pair of old school roller skates (skates - not blades) with the big pom-pom’s on the top… slap a Salt and Pepa tape into my Sony Walkman… and talk about the cute boy (in the Lee jeans) at the bustop.

Aaaaah, those were the days.

Okay… so I won’t be roller skating anytime soon. And guys wearing Lee jeans don’t really ring my bell any more.

But I can at least live semi-vicariously through Elsiebelle’s adorable jewelry.

Her pieces have an urban-ish cutesy appeal that I’m often attracted to. My favorite is that roller skate - which my daughter and I would probably fight each other to wear.

We all know I’m an insatiable clothes whore. No-o-o-o secret there folks.

But I think I’m ready to settle down - (at least for tonight) - With Spiderlily.

Amy Mello - the design queen behind the line - creates a gorgeous collection, one-of-a-kind tops. Yes… one-of-a-kind, as in created from her own patterns, and sewn on her own machine.

My favorite is that ruffled shoulder number. The colors are yummy… I love the clean geometric lines… and the style screams “Attention Betty’s - let your eyes wander to my uber cute top!”

When this girl is in Lucky, remember you saw it here first!

First off, sorry for the brief hiatus. I just completed my move to NYC.

(Aaaah… the sound of traffic at night is like chicken soup for the city lovers soul.)

I love it here. Although my first priority is 3-4 pairs of cute walking shoes. The concrete jungle can be murder on one’s feet! Especially since I’ve been driving in a golf cart all summer long.

Speaking of golf carts, today’s featured evening attire is very country club soiree chic.

All of these dresses can be found at Conversation Pieces - a sweet little online store featuring assorted gear by independent designers. And all of them are under $60 - making them extremely ’shop till you drop’ friendly.

There’s a special place in my heart for work-at-home-mommas.

Of course because I am one, and I understand how intense it can be when you’re trying to answer e-mails, fulfill orders, talk on the phone, and mop up the spilled juice with your foot and a paper towel - all at once.

But when I saw Allie Mac, one part of me was drawn to the site for her super darling handbags - all of which are handmade. Another part of me was drawn to her 2 gorgeous little girls.

Allie Mac has the “Aaaaawwww!” factor all the way around.
