Marilyn Monroe coined the phrase "Diamonds are a girl's best friend", Elizabeth Taylor made "White Diamonds" famous, let's be honest, as long as women have been around and diamonds have been known of women and diamonds have had a special relationship.  To date the most beautiful diamonds I've ever received are apart of my engagement ring and wedding band.  I've rocked the CZ's for years, I just couldn't even joke up the money for "real" diamonds.  Sure I'd wear them everyday but that's a lot of coin for some small earrings!

Recently I've been OBSESSED with jewelry and watches so when I spoke with ELGIN Watches and they wanted to send me and my husband a watch to review I was super excited!  Keep reading inside to see my review of the watches (video and all!!)

MOMMY WEAR WEEKLY

I can be honest and say that when I was pregnant I felt like I lost my sense of style.  Even since becoming a mother I'm not 100% back to where I used to be.  But recently I feel like I'm inching back to that place.  I'm trying to maintain my own personal style but still keeping it "mommy friendly" and age appropriate.

The other night hubby and I went out on a little date and I thought this was a great outfit.  It had been raining and cold all week and I finally caught a half way decent day.  I love the combination of the sequin tank with the more cozy cardigan.  Dressy but casual and effortless.  The hot pink heels add in just enough of a pop!

We've all seen the Sex in the City "Carrie" necklaces before.  But why does no one remember that these have been around for YEARS before Sarah Jessica Parker made them popular.  I mean I had one in middle school!  I'm not so much a fan of the full name necklaces anymore but I do love a good monogram.  I was actually searching around to buy one for myself when the folks over at www.GetNameNecklace.com contacted me and offered to send me one...Merry Christmas to me!
