I'm inviting you all to join Rue La La, one of my favorite invitation only shopping sites. Join me via my  invitation  link. I wanted to share my Rue La La excitement because I was THRILLED when I saw my recent submission for the their #shoelala sweepstakes used on their cover photo on Facebook .  It was also pinned on their Pinterest board.  It's like having a crush on someone and then finding out that they like you back! Photo: Facebook I entered the contest via Twitter . The photo I sent is pictured on the right. My camera on my phone isn't the best but I wanted to enter as soon as I saw the tweet! To be entered for a chance to win the grand prize of $500 in Rue Credit all you have to do is show Rue LaLa your shoes.  Also up for grabs are $50 runner up prizes! For details on how to enter visit Rue LaLa's blog . The contest is open until August 1 so hurry and get your entry in!  KORS Newton Peep Toe Wedges I love that ...

We are very excited to share with you our event coverage of San Diego's first Ann Taylor Concept Store located in the +Fashion Valley  Mall. The private launch party was hosted by Ann Taylor, San Diego Magazine , and The Junior League of San Diego.  A few San Diego Bloggers were also on hand co-hosting the event.  These very lucky ladies were outfitted head-to-toe in Ann Taylor's finest.  It goes without saying that they all looked fabulous!  Though we all couldn't be quite as fortunate, we did enjoy the treat of an exclusive first look at the pre-fall collection.  Not to mention the tasty hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, and goody bag! If you were one of the attendees of the July 19th launch party then you can attest to wonderful hospitality of the entire crew!  We all left the event feeling like we received the VIP treatment!

We had the pleasure of partying with Ann Taylor & San Diego Magazine last night at the Launch Party for Ann Talyor's Concept Store in Fashion Valley.  I can hardly wait to tell you and to SHOW you (pictures coming SOON).  I couldn't contain my excitement as we really did have an amazing time! Stay tuned for more! If you haven't visited the new store yet - please do!  I for one am so happy that I have a store just for ME! As a fairly new mom - I tend to drift to the children's section at the department store. This does not leave much time for me. Shopping for myself has definitely taken a back seat. Coming out to the event reminded me of how much fun it is is to play dress up!  I am motivated to improve my wardrobe! I fell in love with Ann Taylor's Pre-Fall collection!  There were so many fashionable ladies in attendance!  San Diego Magazine sure does know how to put together a party! I must know - when was the LAST time that you shopped for ...

I wanted to post a photo of a few San Diego bloggers and their blog readers at a fun movie event. The advanced screening of What To Expect When You're Expecting in San Diego was GREAT!  We enjoyed the movie and had the added bonus of meeting up with other bloggers and their readers! Check out the happy faces from that night (minus a few who had already entered the theater).  Enjoy! I am very excited for MORE opportunities like this! It's always fun having IRL experiences! Here is a quick pic of my IRL blogging buddy & I at the event! Visit Melanie's Blog at Happiness Delivered | Life.Love.Inspire
