Skin is In!

Music Skins, that is.  (What?  You clicked, didn’t you?)  When I was at SxSW (thanks to my friends at Tiny Prints), my friends Tara, Christine, and Lori introduced me to the owners of Music Skins – and I discovered what a cool product these guys had!  Music Skins come in all kinds of cool designs, and they are made of the highest quality 3M vinyl.  Basically it means you can stick and restick and restick and restick and restick your skin without it ever being any less…urm…sticky.  I witnessed it first hand – no yuck residue, no fighting to peel it off.

I put this funky little design on the back of my iPhone, and I love it.  It’s just spunky enough, it’s PINK, and it’s a bit edgy.  A good fit for me, no doubt!  Oh, and guess what?  I managed to get the inside scoop while I was there, and soon you will be able to design your very own Music Skins with your photos, designs, logos, etc.  I am definitely going to be desigining a Chic Shopper Chick skin for my iPhone.  What will you design?

Fashion is Life!

I had an incredible week at SXSW Interactive (a huge shout out to Tiny Prints and Wedding Paper Divas for sponsoring me!) hanging out with some of my closest friends, and meeting lots and lots of new ones.  I learned a ton, and did I mention that I had a blast?  Cause I totally did. There will be lots of posts coming at you this week, as I need to buckle down and refocus/recover, but in the meantime I wanted to do a quick post to tell you that I am still alive, and also to share with you my epiphany of the week.  Are you ready?

Are you sure?

Ok, here it goes…

I realized this week that I am a fashion/style/beauty girl at heart.  It’s my passion, it’s what I love, and it’s how I thrive.  So I’m going to start trying to incorporate even more of those things into Chic Shopper Chick.  I’m ready, I’m excited, and I’m pumped up about it.

What do you think?  Share your thoughts with me in the comments!

Chic Tunes Tuesday

Panic mode has settled in.  I’m leaving in 48 hours for SxSWi and um, I’m SO not ready.  I’ve been slowly gathering and planning a reasonable wardrobe for warmish weather for around 3 weeks now, and yesterday my friend Arianne casually says to me “You know it’s going to be chilly and rainy, right?”

Um, no.  Cause that’s just fab.  Really.

I live in Louisiana, people.  I laid out in my backyard to get a tan yesterday.  I don’t have chilly weather clothing.  It’s TEXAS for crying out loud, it’s not supposed to be cool in March.  So my relaxing 3 weeks of gathering exactly what I want/need has come down to two very hectic days trying to figure out what in the world I’m gonna do.  And apparently I need an umbrella, heh.

Aside from my clothing dilemma (ok, with me it’s always a clothing dilemma) I had to do one other very important thing…update my playlist on my iPhone!  Here are the songs making the cut this week…enjoy!

1.  The Climb – Miley Cyrus  — Ok, I’m TOTALLY not a Miley Cyrus fan, not for any other reason but that I’m not generally a fan of her voice.  This song is my new favorite for the week though – love the lyrics, the sound, all of it.  It makes me happy, stick it on your “motivation and inspiration” playlist and let it make you happy too. 

2.  Green Light (feat. Andre 3000) – John Legend — Love this song, when it comes on I’m usually groovin’ around my house in a mellow mood.  It makes me smile!

3.  Candle (Sick and Tired) – The White Tie Affair — I heard this song the other day and it was one of those songs that had me bouncing around singing it for the rest of the night.  It is rock/pop and lots of fun, I’m a fan.

4. Here Comes Goodbye – Rascal Flatts  — So I’m on a bit of a Rascal Flatts kick since I saw their rockin’ show last Friday night.  Seriously, these guys are way talented, seem down-to-earth, and put on a truly awesome show for their fans.  This is their newest single from their album which drops April 7th.

5.  Kiss A Girl – Keith Urban  — If you keep up with Chic Tunes Tuesday, you already know I’m a huge Keith Urban fan.  Today marks the release of the second song from his yet-to-be-released album “Defying Gravity”.  I downloaded it about 30 minutes after it hit iTunes this morning and I’m already smitten.  He’s good, what can I say.
