Make Your iPod Touch Stylish

I love my iPod Touch.  It’s the next best thing to an iPhone.  I have heard rumors that the new 3.0 version of the iPod Touch is supposed to have a camera.  While I was surfing the Internet today looking for gear, I stumbled upon these gorgeous iPod Touch cases.  They are $19.90 and come in a variety of colors.  They also make cases for iPhone.  I sooo want the pink Diamond crystal clear soft case!  Mine is currently in a boring black rubber case - how booooooring.  Ugh, why do I have to be on such a tight budget right now? It’s not fair.

Flat Screen Baby…. Pink

Oh yes, a pink LCD flat screen television for the girly girl.  Every savvy chick deserves one… young & old.  This particular model is a Sceptre Komodo and it’s 23” 720p.  I swear you can find everything at Target.  They don’t have it in the stores I’ve been to but it’s for sale online.  The price?  That’s the best part - it’s only $284.99.  (It’s also available in a larger model too - 32” for $474.99)

Charming Cottage Dinnerware

What a charming set of dishes.  It reminds me of the little cottage cafes we have around here.  One is called Darlin’ Jeans Apple Cobbler Cafe - cute huh?  They have great food.  Okay, I’ve got to stop now as I’m making myself hungry.  Okay back to this darlin’ set of dishes.  You get a 16 piece set, 4 plates, 4 dessert plates, 4 bowls and 4 coffee mugs.  Some are plain pink, others are pink polka dots and the mugs are cute stripes.  They are also from Target (I <3 Target) and they sell for $66.99.  I love how these dishes are mismatched but coordinating.

Sterling Silver & Oh So Beautiful…

I’m on a “mom” kick this week, so I wanted to post another mother’s necklace.  This one is called “Circle of Love” and is a beautiful hand stamped sterling silver necklace with heart charm, Swarovski crystal, larger sterling silver circle and smaller inner circle. You get it personalized with the names of your children or the sayings of your choice.  It’s only $42 at SilverLime.  I LOVE IT!!!

Wow at this price, why not get one.  The Acer Aspire One Mini Laptop Netbook with Intel Atom N270 Processor, 160GB Hard Drive, 3 Cell Battery, USB Mouse, Web Cam, SD Card Reader, WSVGA Acer CrystalBrite TFT LCD and Windows XP for only $258 at Walmart.com.  Perfect for Savvy Chicks on the go.  Other colors available, I just prefer pink.  What a great little notebook computer - can’t beat the price either.  Okay, so I’m currently favoring my MacBook, but if I had to go the PC route, I’d get one of these

Wild & Stylish Zebra Bedding for Girls

We just redesigned my daughter’s bedroom.  She’s a tween.  She loves Hannah Montana but is at a stage where she won’t admit it. She’s not a teen yet still too old for her childish bedroom.  What’s a mom to do?  Well I told her to pick a theme.  She decided on zebra so now we’re on the hunt for the coolest zebra gear we can find.  Our first coup… the affordable, stylish and oh so cool Xhilaration® Zebra Bedding Collection from Target.  Love it!!!  At a measly $69 for the full-size set, it’s right on the money.  Expect more hot zebra home decor over the next few days as we shop shop shop for more.

Why No Pink Nintendo DSi?

Anyone know why Nintendo didn’t make a pink or girlie version of the new DSi?  My daughter got the Matte Blue one but has complained daily about the fact that pink is better.  I have one solution for us “pink lovers” and it would be to simply buy the black DSi and jazz it up with this DSi -18-In-1 starter kit in bubblegum pink. I found this cool set on Amazon, I placed an order for the blue set for my daughter only because she got the blue DSi, but if you want to “girlie” up your black one this is definitely the way to go.  By the way, the USB/SD card connector is my favorite feature!
