Disclosure: I received this item free of charge from Midnight Velvet. No monetary compensation was received or offered, all opinions are 100% my own.
Growing up in Dover I remember getting excited every time a Midnight Velvet catalog came in the mail. As soon as one arrived my grandmother and I would snuggle up on the sofa and flip through each page. She loved the large colorful church hats, and I loved the shoes, jewelry and decorative tops. I liked seeing the beautiful clothing the models wore, but always secretly wanted an animal print bedroom set, however, I knew my grandmother would have said, “no”.
I still love looking through the pages of a Midnight Velvet catalog, and now I have an opportunity to review a product from their Spring 2014 catalog. Of course I thought of my grandmother, knowing she would have been excited for me and wished I had chosen one of those big, colorful church hats.
However, for this review, I selected the Monte Carlo Gold Caftan. It arrived in a zebra print box which I’ll definitely re-purpose later. I loved that it was exactly as pictured in the catalog and fit perfectly. The Caftan is two pieces with a machine washable polyester tank underneath. Extra sequins are included for the nylon top which only needs to be spot cleaned.
The Monte Carlo Gold Caftan is perfect for a night out on the town with hubby or perhaps to a special church event which I know my grandmother would have liked.
Midnight Velvet has fresh new Spring confident styles for a beautiful you and your home. Check them out on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, and Pinterest, and be sure to follow their Beauty Blog for the latest fashions, styles and trends.

This is a sponsored post for Leonisa, for more information please read my Disclosure Statement located in the top tab.
When you hear the word Shapewear, do you automatically think of undergarments made specifically for women? In actuality there are probably just as many men as women who wear Shapewear although I doubt many will confess to doing so. Shapewear does more than just take inches off your hips and waist, making you look better in your clothes. It can also enhance your posture and aid in relief with back pain. If you’ve ever had back problems then you know that it can be a life long concern, one that causes you to pay closer attention to your movements and sometimes even to your choices in clothing. Eight years ago, my husband had a total disc replacement in his lower back and to this day he still has to be careful in how he moves and turns, as well as what he wears. Belts are too constrictive so they are no longer part of his wardrobe, suspenders have taken their place.
Leonisa, is a company that sells Intimate Apparel and Lingerie for women as well as Toning and Shapewear for men. After viewing their online catalog I decided to show it to my husband and asked if he would be interested in doing a review.
He agreed and chose the Leo High Waist Control Boxer Brief and wore it for the day. As an athlete, he’s used to wearing supportive undergarments and thought it might be too tight around his back and midsection. It turned out to be the complete opposite, it was non-constrictive and the breathable mesh made it comfortable for an all day wear. The size he chose was large which for him is 36-38, and it fit perfectly, washed well and air dried quickly.
If you are looking for a comfortable undergarment for the man in your life, check out Leonisa and make sure to sign up for their specials and discounts. I’m glad my husband participated in this review, now I know what to include on my holiday gift list. If you also have a man in your life that would like a Leo High Waist Control Boxer Brief, Leonisa is offering to give away one free to a lucky reader of my blog. Please like our Facebook page to enter and the winner will be chosen on 10.31.13.

*This post was written by me on behalf of the Ultimate Outlet. I did not receive compensation nor a product to review. All opinions are 100% mine.
Have you seen that television commercial that shows several office workers “oohing” and “aahing” while looking at shoes on their computer screen? Well my co-worker and I had a similar reaction while checking out clothing at the online store Ultimate Outlet.
Ultimate Outlet is Spiegel’s online website that features clothing and accessories from Newport News and ShapeFX, a brand often worn by talk show hostess Wendy Williams. The Ultimate Outlethas clothing, swimwear, lingerie, and accessories some priced as low as $5.00!
Many of the items are limited in their availability of sizes but I was able to find two Pencil Skirts for $8.00 each and after receiving a ‘first time shopper’ discount of $10.40, my total was only $5.60! #winning
The shipping of $6.94, was more than the total purchase price but I still got a bargain at $12.54. I can’t wait to receive the skirts and then do an OOTD review post. If you get a chance check them out and let me know what you think.
Have a fantastical day – Smooches!

Do you remember my previous post about the clearance sales at JC Penney? Did you go? If not, I suggest you go there as soon as you can. Today I went back to return the $5 skirt and ended up getting 2 more, a Worthington black and white tweet and a pencil skirt; a patterned scoop neck top and a Comfort Revolution sports bra for a grand total of $12.00!
There are $3/$5/$10/$12 and $14 clearance racks in every department, men/women and children clothing, jewelry, accessories, shoes, purses, lingerie, housewares, etc. If you need a last minute Valentine’s Day gift, get to the mall with a quickness because you will definitely get more for your money!
These pics were taken when I stopped in last month.

I’m not sure if you’ve seen an Avon catalog lately and if not, here’s just a taste of what you’ve been missing. As an Independent Sales Rep for Avon for over 15 years I’ve seen many changes all of them good. Avon is a company that has been in business for 125 years and has changed with the times without sacrificing the quality of their products, however, it is no longer your grandmother’s Avon – check it out.
