Mark your wedding date with this personalized necklace

Remember my post on personalized calendar charm gifts? Here's another option that would make a great present for any bride-to-be. I think it would also make an awesome anniversary or birthday gift...

Dalla Nonna Jewelry's signature piece, the calendar necklace comes in gold (rose, yellow or white) or silver with a brushed or shiny finish. You mark your special day with your choice of sapphire (pink, blue, green, purple, red or yellow).

Aren't they drool-worthy????

Do you have the most perfect wedding shoes?

If you love shoes as much as I do, you'll want to keep you perfect wedding shoes looking perfect right until the big day.


From dress maker fittings, dance lessons and celebratory parties, brides-to-be do a lot of shoe schlepping. I've found the perfect solution to let your shoes travel in style....no more plastic grocery bags, scuff marks or dirty clothing when you use....a Shubi bag!

Shubi bags are the most beautiful shoe bags I've ever seen! They come in two styles (one piece or two for those who don't like their shoes to touch), are made of top-quality cotton (super durable), are fully lined in complementary-colored fabric and close with single drawstrings made of grosgrain ribbon.

Best of all, they can also be used for toting toiletries, hair dryers and straighteners, handbags, wine and even a laptop!

There are dozens of fabrics to choose from. Check out these great designs:
I think they'd be a fantastic present for any bride-to-be and a great gift idea for your bridesmaids.

Want to look like Dancing With The Stars on your wedding day?

If you still haven't signed up for wedding dance lessons, here's a fun idea. Buy some dancing shoes, grab your partner, head to Vermont this July and attend Ballroom Dance Camp!

You'll learn everything from fox-trot, waltz, tango, rumba, cha-cha and swing with five hours of dance classes each day and daily review sessions. Classes are offered in five levels from beginner to advanced and you'll have the same instructor every day.

Ballroom Dance Camp takes place July 19-24 or July 26-31. For $2,699 per couple, you'll get breakfast, dinner, lodging and group lessons making it a great summer escape.

Mile High Must Have Accessories!

With all the gadgets you need to keep entertained in-flight, here are some must-have accessories to bring along on your next trip!

The Mile High Charger


Suppose your boyfriend proposes during the flight, you'll want your cell phone to be fully charged the minute you land so you can call all your girlfriends. This trusty little battery operated charger works on Blackberry, Motorola, Nokia and Samsung phones.

The Rockstar Headphone Splitter


Because one iPod is sometimes better than two. What better way to pick a First Dance Song than to listen together? Also great for sharing DVD players.

The Solio Hybrid Charger


Flying during the day? Got a window seat? Use this handy "Hybrid" charger and you'll be juiced up for the entire flight! Absorbs power from the sun (and also from a wall socket) to charge all your phones, iPods, digital cameras, laptops, etc. Also great for workaholics on the beach!

Is your fiance still looking for groomsmen gift ideas?

Is someone from the Windy City?

And finally, for the Californians....

Best of all, I think they they are a real steal at just $20-30 each.
