Happy Monday, Shopaholics! Are you looking for something preppy, practical and stylish for the Mr. as an Easter gift? Here are a few suggestions, from this Shopaholic who lives on the coast!  Costa Del Mar Sunglasses, Triple Tail, Tortoise Frames with Blue Mirror Glass, $199 MSRP (available HERE ). Although we love other brand glasses for "style" - these are wonderful to wear while deep sea fishing, boating, or sitting on the beach. Everything looks better while wearing Costas! The DH loves these - and I'm picking up a pair this week for moi! Coast Apparel, Winyah Polo, Jade Cream, $72.50 (available in a ton of colors HERE ). Made from Peruvian cotton with a touch of Lycra, these polos are a new Shopaholic favorite. The man in your life will LOVE this polo. My DH looks fantastic in greens and blues. Don't be surprised if this one finds it's way to coastal Alabama very soon. But ssshhh don't tell him! :-)  Coast Croakies, Available in Navy, Red or Roy...

Happy Thursday, my Shopaholic friends! Welcome to Day Nine of Shopaholic Birthday Giveaway Days! I'm hosting these in honor of my 40th birthday coming on August 12...it's a fun way to stop thinking about getting older, and profile some of my favorite designers, websites, stores and brands! HA Thanks so much to one of my favorite preppy brands - Kiel James Patrick - for sponsoring our 9th giveaway! Kiel, Sarah and everyone at KJP are just wonderful! The designs are oh so preppy, wearing one of their items makes me want to hop on the nearest yacht and go sailing! Everything is made in Kiel's home state of Rhode Island. How often do you hear that in today's business world? I have a lot of respect for what this company stands for - keeping jobs in Kiel's hometown, purchasing all materials from local companies in the New England area, and using beautiful employees as models!  Recently Kiel James Patrick launched a new collection, which included Sailing Belts . The...

Hello my fellow Shopaholics! Happy Monday!!! For those of you drag on Mondays, and would love a little bit of fun in their day, you will love today's giveaway! Welcome to  DAY SEVEN of Shopaholic Giveaway Days to celebrate Mother's Day!!! Today I'm so thrilled and honored to feature Kiel James Patrick, who is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers! I have blogged about KJP before, and have some of his merchandise and love it all! His website is fun, everyone is pretty and tan. All the designs are created and produced here in the USA in Kiel's home state, Rhode Island. Some of my favorite designs of Kiel's include the headbands (which I need to order, like yesterday!), rope bracelets (love the Sanibel Trails), and the earrings. Love that you can choose your size bracelet, as well as the color of the button. Seriously, how cool is that??? The Kiel James Patrick website is a real treat, check it out  HERE . You will absolu...

Happy Thursday, Fashionistas! Today I'm so excited to introduce you (or help you become more familiar) with a wonderful preppy favorite brand, Kiel James Patrick. Through the miracle of Twitter, I met Kiel James Patrick several weeks ago. After looking over the website, I was in love with the designs. Everything is so, shall we say, Preppy? And you'll notice by looking on their website, everyone is just Pretty. The models are surrounded by boats and water, the sun is shining and it all makes me think summer. :-) What's not to love, right? Recently I placed an order for a few things that were my absolute favorites. My new goodies, in no particular order below.  Drift Oak Ear Knot, Tipsy at Black Pearl Pub $35 . Let me share a secret with you about Shopaholic and earrings. I never, ever, wear studs. The backs usually just bother me. When I talk on the phone (which I do - a LOT), they dig into the back of my head. They always make my ear lobes itch. I know, I have iss...
