What Do You Hope to Fit Into for the Summer?

I take kickboxing (which, I know, I talk about all the time), Pilates, and spinning. And soon, I hope to be able to wear this while shopping and at the beach. It's just so dang "Three's a Company" cheesiness-cutesy.


This particular jumper is sold at (and photo from) ShopManhattanite.com. This is by Tart -- the "Cleo Jumper in Crete." On sale for only $40.80, marked down from $136! The color is beautiful, and would look great on its own or with a cute cardigan for chilly, summer evenings...


What piece are you saving up for? Or, strive to fit into?

Pair Your Booties Up With a Flavorful, Summer Dress!

As the Good Girl Gone Shopping contributor for Manhattanite Blog (Thanks Jeanette!), my first post was about one of my favorite styles to flaunt: My black BCBGirls booties and flavorful summer dresses. Why can't you pair up both, even in the hottest of the hottest weather? My previous post shows me wearing a yellow Forever 21 floral dress, black leggings, and my black booties to the Project Ethos fashion event at Vanguard in Los Angeles. Call it funky or call it a contradiction, but at the very least, you can call it fun!

So check out my newest Manhattanite article. I hope you find some inspiration regarding your own wardrobe. Remember, what you wear should be based on YOU. Take a trend and make it your own! That's the philosophy I would encourage everyone to live by.

P.S. Manhattanite Blog derives from the ShopManhattanite.com website, where you can shop 'til you drop at amazing sale prices!

NEW Trendy Handbag Giveaway in Time for Spring!

I love pinks, reds, and purples - some of the most obvious, stereotypical shades of femininity. But with the surge of the primary color trend, I can't get enough of royal blue (hence, my blue sude shoes I can't stop talking about!). Various shades of turquoise sprouting up all over are also getting me extremely excited about Spring and Summer.

So, guess what? ShopManhattanite.com is doing something really cool for y'all. This adorable online couture-driven shop is offering Diary of a Personal Shopper readers 20% off of their purchase (just type in "GoodGirl") at checkout through all of March.

So are you into the primary color trend? By answering this question, I will enter you in a random drawing held this Friday, March 7th.
