Warren Buffets Advice on the Debt Crisis

Warren Buffets Advice on the Debt Crisis
Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC,
offers one of the best quotes I've heard in all this
drama about the debt ceiling:

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC.
"You just pass a law that says that anytime there is
a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members
of Congress are ineligible for re-election."

K.DiResta Designs- My Last Purchase-- Cool Ring

K.DiResta Designs- My Last Purchase-- Cool Ring
Kathleen DiResta is a jewelry designer who uses metal and geometric shapes to create beautiful pieces of art. This weekend while attending one of Kathleen's jewelry shows I bought this beautiful ring that is actually two pieces. It is made of brass and sterling silver which gives a super cool, two tone effect. This ring is funky and cool because you can wear it many different ways. Here were my three favorites, but I am sure you guys can come up with many other ways. This ring comes in other variations as well such as; drops that inter-lock. Kathleen even had the idea of giving one half to a special loved one, and you keep the other half which I thought was rather cool as well. 
Check out Kathleen's website to see other cool designs that she has up her sleeve. 
Thanks K.DiResta Designs for a cool funky design that I will every day! :)

My Summer Life Jacket

My Summer Life Jacket
SUMMER-----> FALL!

SUMMER LOOK:

This necklace is GREAT! DLIST Magazine did an amazing job with styling this necklace to be a great statement while your hitting the beach, but want to add a little extra edge to your bikini. Even though this piece looks great for summer, I am bringing this piece into fall as well. These sexy leopard pants from Forever21 are amazing and the price is even better $17.80, with prints all over the fall runways how can anyone resist.  I think it these pants look great matched up with this lacey top as well from Forever 21 which is $13.80. The reason why "My Summer Life Jacket" will look great with this outfit is because of the white and wood accents it gives a feel of safari and adventure. Which I know my customer is always on the daring side!
