It was a <a href="http://www.bluefly.com/Necessary-Objects-black-and-charcoal-peplum-skirt-dress/cat890450/304405002/detail.fly">dress made by Necessary Objects</a>, one of my favorite designers.<br /><br /><img src="http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs153.snc3/18071_537971609149_72803040_31203277_6863562_n.jpg" /> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">I added a chifon scrug to my ensemble.

The idea that only a certain group of people are invited to join a community, a group, or any other event undoubtedly makes your heart flutter. Someone may actually care about you (HUGS)! Ya think?<br /><br />How quickly you lose your V.I.P. status once you start sharing links, 'inside' information, and other tips on how to get 'behind the velvet ropes'. I don't mind sharing. In fact, I love sharing. I mean, someone was kind enough to invite me to their group, so I should do the same.<br /><br />I'm sorry to report my <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">share</span> is a bit on the shallow end. It has to do with shopping, an addiction I know many mommies face. I can attest. My Mom and I use to spend every Saturday at the <a href="http://westfield.com/annapolis/">Annapolis Mall</a>. There were store associates who greeted us by name. Especially the girls in <a href="http://www.bebe.com/">Bebe</a>. Now, this is nothing to be proud of. But, again, it made us feel EXCLUSIVE.<br /><br />Yes. They had a Louboutin sale...gasp!<br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><a href="http://shopdiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/cl040809.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 339px; HEIGHT: 404px" align="left" src="http://shopdiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/cl040809.jpg" /></a>When I was invited to join the <a href="http://www.gilt.com/">Gilt Groupe</a>, I was excited. The only way to even see what is up for sale is to be a member. And to be a member, you had to have an invite. Once I received my invite, I was amazed at some of the designers and the prices being offered for their items.<br /></div><br />We're talking Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Donna Karen, and Vera Wang. Designers we could only dream about filling our closets with. The greatest part about Gilt Groupe is that they cater to women, men, and children. So now, your child can dress like little Maddox or Jaden Smith.<br /><br />I know it seems ridiculous to spend lots of money on designer clothes, especially for children, but some of their prices are hard to pass. For instance, Gilt Groupe had a sale on 7 for all Mankind clothing for children today.<br /><br />Take a look at the 7 for all Mankind sale for children (<span style="font-size:85%;">click to view larger picture</span>):<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJmxHKcf6mrgRT6ILXwSqnYvu6zgivnI48QRJ2aztXS4czplqfGrOByOF9GT-BXij37YjBvrrXJrUUI3NM6IZ3rcykpMj-QWGaszjT2tAfa1dusL-OWNrcmwpIbzfJU78NQJSpg9xvnFo/s1600-h/7+for+Gilt+Groupe.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 343px; HEIGHT: 164px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326202104044814178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJmxHKcf6mrgRT6ILXwSqnYvu6zgivnI48QRJ2aztXS4czplqfGrOByOF9GT-BXij37YjBvrrXJrUUI3NM6IZ3rcykpMj-QWGaszjT2tAfa1dusL-OWNrcmwpIbzfJU78NQJSpg9xvnFo/s400/7+for+Gilt+Groupe.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">You'll notice a SOLD OUT icon on each product. This happens because the sales are so great, most people purchase immediately so they do not miss a great deal. Some of the prices are still a little steep for my liking, but you cannot help but consider buying at least one designer item. I mean, a $98 denim jacket on sale for $49 is hardly bad when you consider all the ways the jacket can be worn.<br /><br />Gilt Groupe holds sales for infants and toddlers as well. Some of the previous designers have included<a href="http://www.kicokids.com/"> Kico Kids</a>, <a href="http://www.lolaetmoi.com/">Lola et Moi</a>, <a href="http://dwellshop.com/b2c/ecom/ecomEnduser/items/xt_itemCatalogNF.aspx?totalLevel=4&currLevel=1&lField1=ITMCLSCD&lValue1=DECOR&lField2=USCATVLS_1&lValue2=&lField3=&lValue3=&lField4=&lValue4=&lField5=&lValue5=&lField6=&lValue6=&lField7=&lValue7=&numList=0&startIndex=-1&siteId=1">Dwell Studios</a>, and many more.<br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2008/cbb/blog/081222/12-11/LEM_flower-coat.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 162px; HEIGHT: 215px" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2008/cbb/blog/081201/12-18/Kico-Kids-raincoat.jpg" /> <img style="WIDTH: 186px; HEIGHT: 243px" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2008/cbb/blog/081222/12-11/LEM_flower-coat.jpg" /></a> <img style="WIDTH: 198px; HEIGHT: 258px" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2008/cbb/blog/081201/12-18/Dwell-Studio-crib-set.jpg" /><br /></div></div></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Yellow jacket (Kico Kids) Turquoise jacket (Lola et Moi) Baby Bedding (Dwell Studios)<br /></div><br />All you have to do to be apart of Gilt Groupe is click on the link below:<br /><br /><center><img style="WIDTH: 179px; HEIGHT: 179px" align="right" src="http://www.marieclaire.com/cm/marieclaire/images/Zt/gilt-group-sm.jpg" /></center></p><br /><br /><h2 style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://www.giltgroupe.com/invite/luvdamall">http://www.giltgroupe.com/invite/luvdamall</a></h2>Once you're done filling out your information, you're in. EXCLUSIVELY! You can even start to invite your friends, and then they can invite their friends, and so on. The cycle is never-ending.<br /><br />Make sure you are up on all the sales. They start at NOON EST. Once you're a member, you'll receive invites to private sales. There is even a reminder you can set-up on the website so you'll never miss a great sale again.<br /><img style="WIDTH: 259px; HEIGHT: 232px" align="right" src="https://www.ruelala.com/img/registration_right.gif" /><br />Hope enjoy Gilt Groupe as much as I have. Makes me feel like a star :-)<br /><br />If you want to treat yourself to even more sales, there is another great site called <a href="http://www.ruelala.com/">Rue La La</a>. Again, you must receive an invite to join. Lucky for you, I have a link for you to join because I am already a memeber. Click on the link below to join. Be sure to fill-in your information in the boxes, not mine. Sometimes it pre-fills. Here is the link:<br /><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://www.ruelala.com/registration?invitationGuid=59c9426f-b143-42f1-abf3-be4b92eff5ba&aid=1003"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline">I want to Join Rue La La</span></span></a><br /><br /></div><br />Enjoy your exclusivity.

I am not going in for surgery and coming back a man (although it would be less stressful to deal with weight gain if I was one). I am simply going to share all the great deals I find as I surf the web.<br /><br />Each day, my email is flooded with exclusive deals, special promotions, and tremendous savings. If you are like me, deals are your best friend...and a girl loves a great BFF.<br /><br />I will incorporate personal post on here as well. It could be a video of me modeling my latest purchase (which for the record, there have not been a lot). You may even see few of my peeps, homies, aces, girls on here. It's all a work-in-progress (as life should be).<br /><br />I'm hoping to expand this site and make it yet another excuse to not have to clean the house.<br /><br />Stick around, tell a friend, or just visit every now and then until you finally decide you can't live without <a href="http://www.thebestff.blogspot.com/">B.F.F</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/248/3329A67C367C72964958DDCD25DFAD97.png" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13114990282550669847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-187669405205322168.post-55004784582915514302009-08-31T09:20:00.000-07:002009-08-31T09:25:29.962-07:00XShot Camera Extender Review<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxuswYOh5oULaau7kNJ4DDIlyFy3MXkYYoh0jna0jDhGq_IHrlDBoXyzor1HocvVbk3xBKkCE7mkgoXQLbHIqiYNfizTj3o2d1P3bpqaxpc82gkEcmSDdC10Vuu9eHIjADXuUjmEIT7fdl/s1600-h/xshot.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 302px; height: 235px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxuswYOh5oULaau7kNJ4DDIlyFy3MXkYYoh0jna0jDhGq_IHrlDBoXyzor1HocvVbk3xBKkCE7mkgoXQLbHIqiYNfizTj3o2d1P3bpqaxpc82gkEcmSDdC10Vuu9eHIjADXuUjmEIT7fdl/s400/xshot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376140485985182594" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />It's called the <a href="http://www.xshotpix.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">XShot</span></a>.

You don't always have to be the main object. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">XShot</span> is great for taking pictures of scenery. It allows you to go deep into cracks, or high in the sky for those once unachievable pictures, had you only been using your hand. My friends all laughed at me when I pulled it out of my purse (you know who you are). I always carry my 'life' around in my purse, so they were not too surprised. I explained to them what the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">XShot</span> was, and demonstrated. Little do they know, the joke is on them.<br /><br />Here is why I like the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">XShot</span>:<br /><ul><li>Compact ~ I can place it in my purse and take it wherever I go. This is convenient when going on vacation as well. No more bulky tripods.<br /></li></ul><ul><li>Affordable ~ At only $29.95, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">XShot</span> is a smart investment. You could even gift it to your friends and family.</li></ul><ul><li>Easy to use ~ Even if I did not have instructions, I would easily be able to remove the product from the package and begin using it</li></ul><ul><li>Convenient ~ You no longer have to bother a stranger to take your picture. Now, you are the photographer wherever you go.</li></ul>Don't just take my word for it. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">XShot</span> has received loads of media buzz. See for yourself by clicking <a href="http://www.xshotpix.com/mediabuzz.php">here</a>.<br /><br />My only complaints about the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">XShot</span> is the adjustment process. You will have to play around with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">XShot</span> to find the perfect position for the camera and your arm. Some of my photos still revealed my arm being extended. But, with a little practice, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">XShot</span> will become a constant companion. Look at all the great places your <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">XShot</span> can go:<br /><br />• Traveling • Hiking<br />• Family Photos • Camping<br />• Honeymoons • Kayaking<br />• Parties • Fishing<br />• Concerts • Rock Climbing<br /><br />Let's be safe and go with EVERYWHERE!<br /><br />I discovered the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">XShot</span> in Modern Bride magazine.
