Taylor Swift among many stars love Guy and Eva and no wonder! Affordable, stylish, and classy? It’s a brand that we love! I love unique jewelry and all of their pieces are different, but still look beautiful.
Not only are all the pieces unique, but they are also fashion forward and trendy. This spring some of the hottest trends are gold and precious stones and their 2012 spring collection is perfection!
We had a chance to try out some of their jewelry and I am totally in love with it. Everything is made with great detail and care and I love all the bright colors and styles. This jewelry is far from boring and not only do they have jewelry that is perfect for girls that love wild jewelry or even girls who stay on the safe side.

Pajamas. It’s no secret that I hate them. I prefer my yoga pants and ugly t-shirts over anything. They are always so itchy and horrid. Not to mention tight and uncomfortable.
Which is why I am in love with Munki Munki. They create the most comfy and adorable pajamas that I have ever seen. Celebrating whimsical prints, details, and sweet fabrics that will make you smile. They are by far one of my favorite companies that we have featured so far. 
They sent me a pajama set to review and I was shocked at how well they washed up. I put them through my clothes-killing washer machine several times and guess what? They still look as fresh and new as always.
I love how fast Munki Munki shipped and the adorable print of the pajamas? I can’t squeal over how cute they are enough. I’m glad that the prints are cute without being too little girlish and creepy. You know what I mean?
And the fit? The pajamas are a perfect fit and feel amazing! I love how soft they are and I plan on picking up a few more pairs of pajamas soon.
If you are looking for the perfect spring pajamas then check out Munki Munki! You will not be disappointed. To purchase any of their products please visit- munkimunki.com

Every once in awhile we find a store that is a real gem and this store is Conversation Pieces. Ladies this store is like a mall. With clothing from every single style. Chic, trendy, boho, bold, mens trend, whatever your style is they have it all! Except for without hefty price tags.
Have I mentioned just how amazing this store is? I did, but I’m going to say it again. 
They just got their new spring collection in and it is TO DIE FOR! Everything in the store is perfection. 
We want to feature their Snap Happy dress. It’s knee length snap up dress that is 100% cotton and lined. It has and elactic waist and snap buttons. The pictures really don’t do it or the lovely floral print justice at all. The fabric is quite nice and so versatile!
There are so many ways to wear this dress. Nerdy chic with tights, glasses, and boots. Or just by itself with heels or flats. Lunch out with the girls or dinner out with your main man, whatever you choose to wear this you’ll be glad you bought this dress. It’s perfection.
I would recommend that you go up a size larger then you normally would just so you get a perfect fit. It really is a lovely dress that is very well made. Y’all have got to check Conversation Pieces out!
And the packaging? Every package comes wrapped so beautifully and with a special treat. Thatis what I call customer service! I felt so special when I got the package!!!

If you haven’t noticed, we adore XOXO. And their new spring collection is to die for! Lots of bold pieces, lots of simple pieces, lots of color, and most importantly? Lots and lots of fashion forward style for less!
The new XOXO collection has something for everyone. The college student, the working girl, and the party animal. We are so excited that everything is so affordable while still supporting all of our favorite trends.
One of the biggest trends this year is lace. Lace is everywhere. I took a peek at some of the lace dresses/tops and they are going for alot of money ladies! I cannot afford something like that and I’m sure I am not the only one….
XOXO is making lace affordable however with this adorable lace peasant top. It’s light, airy and flowy. It’s perfect for spring and summer. My favorite part? It works well with jeans or shorts. I’m not sure that it would work too well with a skirt, but you could give it a shot.
Check out the detail on this baby! It’s simply adorable. The top is light enough for a hot summer day without showing too much which is really nice in my mind.
I would caution that you don’t “do” anything even though this top is really well made, I wouldn’t recommend that you wear this for a day out at a theme park or anywhere where the delicate nature of lace won’t be appreciated. A lunchen or dinner? It would be perfection.
The top comes in S, M, and L, and is availble for $49 at Macys.com
Honestly, this new collection from XOXO is amazing as always. I can’t wait to pick up some more items from the collection once they are out.
Keep a look out for the rest of the XOXO collection coming soon!! You ladies need to seriously check it out. They have some awesome stuff!
*Sponsored, but my opinions are 100% honest and true! How could I lie about such an awesome company?

Shabby Apple is one of my favorite clothing companies ever. Their adorable women’s dresses are always stylish, classy, and comfortable. I love the bright colors and feminine details. When they let me review a dress from them I was over the moon. They sent me the Spanish Steps dress.
Holy cow. Where do I begin? Can I just say that first of all this dress is amazing? I’m a jean and t-shirt sort of gal. And if you combine a dress that is as comfortable as my favorite pair of Levi’s then I’ll be all over it.
And that is what Shabby Apple has done. They have put a soft cotton jersey of a t-shirt into a beautiful sateen skirt. Can you say comfortable? Um, yeah.
The top as a jersey capped sleeve that is gathered at the waist with a sash and the skirt has appliqued, ruched sleeves and leaves. The skirt swirls just above your knee at a perfect length.
The dress has a lovely vintage feel to it and is oh-so stylish. Spanish Steps is lightweight and delicate while still being sturdy and well made.
It’s the perfect dress for a spring party, a dance, or a wedding. Plus it can be worn for so many different occasions. The dress fits generously and I love the way it fits. Spanish Steps works for most body types and it comes in sizes xs-xl.
While the dress did have some complaints on the Shabby Apple website, I thought that the dress was very flattering on me. Maybe it’s just my body type, but it worked for me!!!
Coupon-
The offered you all a 10% off coupon code “fashionablegal”. So you can save on one of their beautiful dresses!
Shabby Apple has so many amazing dresses and we are drooling over their spring collection! Be sure to like Shabby Apple on Facebook in order to get exclusive deals and contests!
I was sent a sample, but all of these thoughts are entirely my own and not compensated.

I have a small bust and it’s so hard to find pretty lingerie that is well made, but works for my small size. Little Women lingerie is one of my favorite lingerie brands for small busted gals.
Their new gorgeous Spring / Summer 2012 range of lingerie has just been launched – made only in small cup sizes – “AAA”, “AA”, “A” and “B”, it is NOT the dreaded “teenage trainer bra” lingerie at all. That is my favorite thing about them. They design sophisticated, flattering styles that are comfortable to wear and confidence boosting.
Little Women lingerie is affordable, fashionable, sexy, and it fits really well. They ship super fast and everything is always well made.
Our favorite product is their Ultra You Bra and thong. It features:
Non-wired • soft cotton mix lining to the cups • medium padding • additional removable booster pads • longer adjustable shoulder straps • back fastener three hooks long, one hook wide (the 38” and 40” bras are two hooks wide) • matching brief and thong available • please hand wash •
I had the chance to test out this bra and I fell in love with it. It’s supportive while being oh-so comfortable and sexy. I love all the feminine touches on it. The lace, the colors, and the print. I actually feel pretty in this bra which is a rare case for me.
All you small busted gals out there have to check out Little Women. Their products are amazing and we are simply in love with them For more information or to check out the rest of their collection then please visit- www.littlewomen.com

Laura is know for her awesome makeup creations and she has added a great new product to her line: Oil Free Suprême Foundation, available in stores in April.
This oil-free lightweight formula gives skin ultimate coverage while gliding evenly on. Not only is this product silicone-free, fragrance free, it is also non-greasy. It glides evenly onto the skin. And has a soft finish that is long-lasting that feels so comfortable on the skin.
The key ingredients:
· Aloe Bardadens – soothes and refresh skin.
· Green Tea Leaf Extract – provides antioxidant and astringent properties.
· Vitamin E – provides moisturizing properties.
· Vitamin A – provides antioxidant and moisturizing capabilities and helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
· Panthenol – a hydrating agent that improves skin’s natural moisture balance.
· Silica – porous mineral absorbs oils, visibly smoothes skin.
I had a chance to try it and I was thrilled. I *cough* generally don’t wear alot of makeup because it cakes my face and I keep having to re-apply it, but I was so pleased with this! It is exactly what it is claimed to be and I love it!
It’s quite easy to apply and it is thick so Laura recommends that you shake well before using and apply to face with Laura’s Foundation Sponge or fingertips. For best results, use with a Foundation Primer.
It comes in twelve different shades: (Porcelain Ivory, Blush Ivory, Warm Ivory, Sunny Beige, Vanilla Beige, Golden Beige, Shell Beige, Tawny Beige, Honey Beige, Suntan Beige, Toffee Bronze, Rich Sienna) so you are sure to find one that is perfect for you.
$42.00 for a 1 oz./29 ml bottle. You can find it wherever beauty products are sold in April.

Stages of Beauty Skin Care is a great brand of skin care products that is an new all-natural, anti-aging skincare brand, the first beauty line that’s organized by age and designed to meet the ever-changing needs of a woman’s skin throughout her life.
Created and scientifically formulated under the guidance of Jasmina Aganovic, an MIT-trained Chemical and Biological Engineer, Stages of Beauty offers four lines, each formulated to address the hormonal changes/needs of your skin at every age; 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s+. After having one too many adverse reactions to skincare products with ingredients that were too harsh for her young skin, Jasmina went to work to create a skincare line that would give women a straightforward and knowledgeable approach to beauty.
Most of us girls need the RADIANCE line (for women in their 20s). It focuses on preventative care, repairing and protecting skin against environmental damage and free radicals.
Each line includes the:
Cleanser
Scrub
Serum
Toner
Treatment Cream
and Anti-aging treatment
Unique ingredients like: Monk’s Pepper Berry, African Red Tea, Pomegranate Seed, Bamboo, Ayurvedic ingredients, and other all natural ingredients help to protect, restore, and nourish your skin.
I had a chance to try the Radiance line and I love it! The products aren’t greasy at all and they are so light-weight and nourishing! I haven’t noticed a major change in my skin, but then again my skin is pretty clear/soft already. I did however notice that dark circles and other things have vanished so that is a huge plus for me!
If you are looking for an all natural skin care line that protects your skin while still being oh-so easy to use then for more information visit- Stagesofbeauty.com

Jambu’s Spring 2012 Collection is out and I am in love. In case you haven’t noticed I am all over eco-friendly shoe companies and when they make comfortable shoes? BONUS! I love what Jambu is doing to make a difference. Jambu shoes use partially recycled rubber outsoles, animal friendly materials available in Vegan collection, recycled and recyclable packaging.
I honestly wear heels all the time even though they kill my feet, but Jambu’s shoes are different. Not only are they really well made, but they have a memory foam foot bed that makes every shoe oh-so comfortable.
The heel to this shoe is a comfortable height so you get the look of a heel without the feel of a heel. I love that since I am constantly running around in my heels. I love the height to these babies!
They sent me the Cinnamon shoe to review and I LOVE it. It is perfect for those hot summer days when you don’t want to stuff your feet into stilettos or 6″ wedges.
I love that these wedges are made from distress leather and elastic that adjusting to your foot perfectly. They come in three different neutral colors and quite a few different sizes so you are sure to find something that works for you!
Me? I’ll be wearing these babies all summer and spring! They go perfectly with a cute summer dress, jeans and a t-shirt, or even just a lazy afternoon when I want to kick things up a bit! I can’t wait to rock these pretties.
To see the rest of the collection visit- jambu.com
