Shop My Closet on Poshmark!

Okay guys, this is a completely self-serving blog post.  But after waking up with a post-Kate Spade Surprise Sale hangover, I figured I would share my Poshmark closet with you!  (A girl has to subsidize her shopping addiction, right?)

Poshmark is a great website for selling your clothes and accessories.  I've been doing it for just a couple of weeks.  It's super easy; you use the phone app to take photos and post your items, you haggle with other members, and then they click to buy.  You print out a prepaid shipping label, have the USPS take your package, then you get paid once it is received.  All items are final sale, so your interactions with the seller definitely matter.  But I'm really enjoying it so far!

I have a bunch of items currently listed, plenty of NWT and name brands, like Coach, Lacoste, Betsey Johnson, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Nine West, Longchamp, and more.  :)

Cardstore... a new way to send adorable snail mail!

My friend Lindsey is a die-hard snail mail fan in an increasingly digital age.  She always sends handwritten, personal cards for holidays, occasions, even just because she's thinking of you.  So when Cardstore.com offered me a free customized card, I knew exactly where to send it.  I moved away from Lindsey about a year ago, so it's made keeping in touch that much harder... and more important!

I really enjoyed creating this card.  The total cost for my customized card, including postage and color printing, was well under $4.  When you think of the cost of driving to the store and taking the time to dig through the racks, not to mention that most cards cost $2-3 these days, this is a WAY better deal with a lot more love involved!  Not only that, but Cardstore has plenty of promo codes and sales that make it even more economical.

You can even take photos straight from your Facebook albums to use in creating the card.  I had an old photo of Lindsey and me that I wanted to include.  I picked the card I liked most, then added the photo.

I made this card!

Super cute, right?  I typed a personalized message, and had the card mailed directly to Lindsey via snail mail.

You can also opt to have the card sent to you, so you can sign yourself and mail it.  I actually think this is a great option; you could create custom cards at the beginning of the year for birthday, Father's Day, Mother's Day, etc. and order them all at once.  Then you'll have them on-hand whenever you need them!  Wouldn't it be a cool idea to have a little card organizer by month so you were always ready to send the next custom card out?

Here are a few other designs I'm loving...

Cardstore.com covered the cost of one free card.  The opinions expressed above are my own!

CMA Fest

I'm not into the crowds downtown during CMA Fest, but since my coworker offered me free tickets to see the final night's show at LP Field, I took him up on it and brought my friend VB.

It was hot and jam-packed full of people, but we grabbed a beer at Honky Tonk Central, enjoyed their live band, then walked over the pedestrian bridge to the stadium.

Due to a thunderstorm warning, they abbreviated the show a LOT.  And by a lot, I mean artists who should have played for half an hour played like one song.  BOO.  But I got to see a number of people I've never seen perform live:  Lee Greenwood, Gary Allan, Brad Paisley, Charlie Daniels, Lennon & Maisy, The Band Perry, Jake Owen, and Carrie Underwood.

We were in the freebie nosebleeds, so we weren't too disappointed to call it an early Sunday night (especially since I was out until 1am the night prior!).  But it was kind of a nice way to take in the country music scene for an evening.  And I got to spend more time with VB, which is always a win!
