Accessorizing the Phone

Little man officially demolished my iPhone case...better the case than the phone, I suppose.  Plus I didn't really like that one anyway...so I guess I should be thanking him. Now I can pick out one...or three that I really like. I know I should probably be targeting one of those cases that are unbreakable since Cruz now thinks tossing my phone everywhere is an okay thing to do, but that wouldn't be fun.

Enter this gorgeous metallic gold one. I have been digging gold lately figure why not sport it on my phone too?  I also love Tory Burch and if I had oodles more money I would by her totes, shoes and sunglasses, but I don't so a cell phone case will have to suffice.

And since this one was such a good deal on Shop Bob, I decided to get two. I mean, I don't wear the same watch, necklace or earrings every day, so why not change up my case every so often. Enter this fancy little guy that looks like leather, but is actually plastic. I also wear loads of black so this will fit right in.

Here were some others that almost landed in my {virtual} shopping cart. Love the brighter colors for spring, the animal prints and the gold & white stripes.

And if I had the 5, you better believe I would've ordered one of these super cute floral prints. I love love love these!

If you want to know the truth, my next purchase may be one of these. I am digging these fun and funky ones I found on Etsy. Though, the "Cool story, babe. Now get me a sandwich." one would be for Nick...he says this stuff to me all the time. I'm beginning to get a complex about my story-telling skills.

I really cannot believe I dedicated an entire post to cell phone cases, but I did. Any other cases out there that I need to check out?

Pixie Dots

On Monday night, I invited over some ladies for a night of cocktails, finger foods, gossip and jewelry {my idea of a perfect night}. My friend and former college roomie, Shauna, has recently acquired a new company called Pixie Dots, which is an amazing jewelry company born & raised right here in Nebraska. The previous owners had been selling Pixie Dots in Shauna's baby store, Time For Baby, for quite some time and I first discovered their gorgeous creations when I was registering for little man.

She has been trying to get the word out on this new venture and I love the product so we decided to host a Pixie Dots party at my house. What I loved most about this party is that it's not the norm in that there is no long presentation, instead she sets up a table with samples of the necklaces, bracelets and rings as well as other metals and stones you can use in custom designing your own piece.

As some of you know, I love me some personalized jewelry {aka my "Carrie" necklace obsession} and can't wait to be dripping my "Cs" and "Cruz's", so Pixie Dots is right up my alley. I also love the fact that if we have another baby, we can add to the pieces, but most importantly, this stuff is affordable and fashionable! Of course, I ordered two necklaces for myself and may have also gotten one as a gift for a special someone. I cannot wait until they come in. I've already been thinking of how I'm going to mix metals and wear my new pieces.
