The Cookie Connection

Got home from work today and there it was---the Fall/Winter 2010 Cookie Connection magazine! I love to read it cover to cover, look at the pictures for inspiration and refer to it often for tips and motivation. The magazine is all things Cookie Lee---from recognition to personal stories to how to grow your business and keep creating ideas to empower yourself to take your business to the next level. Whether you are a consultant or not, it's just great reading for any woman who is thinking of starting her own business.

My favorite pages are 16 & 17 which show how to wear the jewelry for every occasion---from dress up to dress down! It's perfect!

Visit my website to view the entire Fall/Winter 2010 catalog and contact me to host a show. Get the Cookie Connection magazine directly from me for just $1

Getting Ready for Fall Fashion

A simple shopping trip for back to school for my kids turned into a bit of a fall fashion preview for me over the weekend. I'm a big fan of fashion but also love the Looks for Less idea! With 3 growing kids, I can only afford to shop smart. So I decided to buy a few key pieces to get me started.

First on my list was a military-inspired utility jacket spotted at Kohl's for $27.99. Love that price and can't wait to wear it! I'm thinking black jeans and booties with a junky Cookie Lee necklace.

Next on my list I found peep toes Candies clogs for $33.99 also at Kohl's. I already wore them with a simple black summer dress with a purple scarf for a splash of color! I'm sure I'll be sporting them all throughout the fall season.

And lastly, also from Kohl's a rich, royal  blue rocker-inspired blouse with black pipping for a whopping $18.99. I'm thinking black, skinny Calvin Klein jeans, new Candies clogs and there's the perfect night out outfit!

Some of my favorite shop for less stores are Kohl's, JC Penny, Sears, Old Navy, and Target. If I'm looking to spend a little more on a quality piece or a special occasion then Macy's is alwasy a favorite, Ann Taylor, White House/Black Market, Banana Republic, Urban Outfitters and J Crew just to name a few. Although I'm interested in saving where I can, I'm not opposed to paying a little more for quality pieces I know will last.

Can't wait to start putting my outfits together with all of my fun Cookie Lee jewelry. See my new pieces below!

Back From Vegas!

So Vegas was super fun & hot! Whenever you get a large group of girls together there is bound to be fun and drama all mixed into one! And this was no exception:)  Sitting pool side, sipping on margarita's was the BEST! Busy moms get those opportunities only so often so soaking it up was nice. The bride to be and all of her friends were sweet, full of energy and super fun! The picture below sums it all up!

Vegas Baby!

So I'm mentally preparing myself for a weekend of fun girl time in Vagas in honor of my cousin Maritza's Bachelorette party who is preparing to take the long walk down the isle to her honey Chris! They are both super sweet and in-love! Can't wait for the wedding in November! But that's a different blog!

With 3 kids, full time work, husband and all the coordination it takes to get us moving I really am looking forward to this Vegas getaway! Sipping margaritas by the pool, enjoying the Vegas sun, a fun pole dancing class, and a night of dancing await me and the 10 other fun girls joining us! Staying at PH should also be a real treat since I've never stayed there before.

I'm packing my LBD, favorite jeans, bathing suit (argh!) and all the fabulous Cookie Lee jewlery I can find. I took some pictures of the pieces I'm going to bring along for my fabulous Vegas weekend!

Tune in next time for updates on our Vegas weekend!
