Prep & Prime: Get Ready For Amazon Prime Day

Cue The Confetti!

Normally when I hear the words "Prep & Prime," I think of cosmetics, which Amazon has plenty in store.

Amazon's Birthday is coming up, and they're  celebrating in a big way with an International Shopping Day called "Prime Day." 

It is a one-day shopping event on July 15, 2015, with more deals than Black Friday. Prime members can shop exclusive deals from electronics, toys, video games, movies, clothing, patio, lawn and garden, sports and outdoor items and more.

 Psst, I hear that there’ll be a name brand 32-inch Smart HDTV for under $200 AND Chromebook laptops for $199. This is just the beginning...

What are the benefits of Amazon Prime?

Amazon Prime members enjoy a number of benefits such as: FREE Two-Day Shipping, unlimited streaming to tens of thousands of movies and TV episodes, ad-free music, and much more.

Amazon Mom members enjoy the same benefits of Prime, including 20% off diaper subscriptions.

Now this is an unique gift idea. It fits everyone and is a guaranteed winner!

Amazon will send your gift recipient an email on the day you choose, along with redemption instructions. The gift recipient can start their Prime Membership right away. Instant gratification! No worries, if the recipient is already a Prime Member, the gift can be exchanged for an Amazon Gift Card.

Tuesday Trends: White Hot

Perfect Match: Dresses & Accessories

Over the weekend, I received an email from Neiman Marcus Last Call. I thought the moving image was so clever, and I was instantly inspired.  A Summer dress makes for effortless dressing, but the wrong accessories can ruin everything. So I have put together six looks that take you anywhere with style this season.



HERE Six Looks To Love

Sunlace Shirt Dress
A dress by Bryan Lars is both ladylike and a bit coquettish with it's peek a boo detailing. It's a great look for dressed up daytime.  
Anthropologie

Pair The Dress With....

Gigi Gigi New York's Uber Clutch
Add a pop of neutral for an understated but sophisticated look.
Gigi Gigi New York

Alexander McQueen's Pelle S. Cuoio Sandal
Love how the pattern in the shoe mimics the design of the dress.

Keep the fun going and pair the wonderful wrap above with these mid heel pumps. 
Sole Society

Tory Burch Colorblock Clutch
Break up the pretty patterns with blocks of coordinating colors.  A dress as classic as the DVF wrap above deserves a luxe leather bag like this one.
