what a stud

 A girl can never have too many stud earrings. In my opinion, they're the perfect no-brainer addition to any outfit, and they have the magical ability to make you instantly look more put together. If you're anything like me, genuine diamond studs are out of the question because studs are so easy to lose. Luckily, designers from Kate Spade to Marc Jacobs have come out with amazing and affordable studs for any occasion.  Here are a few of my favorites.


1. Banana Republic Women's Cubic Zirconia Vintage Earring 
2. Baublebar Peach Cushion Cut Studs
3. Stephan & Co. Enamel & Rhinestone Earrings 
4. MICHAEL by Michael Kors Large Gold Stud Earrings  
5. Tinley Road Crystal Owl Studs 
6. Baublebar Jumbo Ice Studs
7. Marc by Marc Jacobs Boxed Holiday Pave Heart Studs (Light Peach/Rose Gold) 
8. Baublebar Crystal Cushion Cut Studs
9. Kate Spade New York Baublebox Clip Earrings in Fluorescent Pink

Amazing Cyber Monday Deals!

I'm a huge discount shopper, so I've gone ahead and made a list of the best Cyber Monday deals I've found so far! I've listed the sales along with relevant discount codes.

The Perfect Summer Vineyard Vines Bag + Giveaway! {closed}

Earlier this summer, I had the amazing opportunity to try out one of Vineyard Vines handbags. Just look at how gorgeous this bag is. This bag is probably the quintessential summer vacation purse, and I love everything about it.

Front

Back

Love the gold feet on the bottom!

How adorable is the Vineyard Vines whale? Please excuse the reflection of my camera in the gold plate :)

So far, my Vineyard Vines straw tote bag has gone with me to Florida, California, Illinois, Mexico, Honduras,  Belize, and Grand Cayman!

Me and my beloved bag (oh, and husband too!) in Cozumel, Mexico

I'm in love with the high-quality straw material with gold leather, and the little gold accents are so adorable! I personally think that this design is so great for summer because it can be worn with casual or dressy clothing, and it will make you look put together and effortlessly chic!


As if I didn't love this purse enough, check out the lining! SO cute!

I desperately need a new camera, so here's a pretty professional picture of my bag from Vineyard Vines


I can always count on Vineyard Vines products for high-quality wardrobe staples, but I love the personality in their clothing and accessories. While this bag may seem classic on the outside, the cute gold accents and bright interior lining are so fun! I love knowing that while my Vineyard Vines clothing and accessory pieces are fun and of-the-moment, they feature classic designs and high-quality materials that you can wear for years to come! Definitely one of my favorite brands of all time :)

Giveaway
Vineyard Vines has generously offered to giveaway one adorable clutch to Ashley Brooke readers! My camera does not do this bag justice- at all! The material is a very smooth, high-quality canvas with a subtle gold shimmer thread built into the fabric. As you'll see below, my camera was not loving the shimmer effect of the fabric, and my pictures were not turning out! Thankfully I found some beautiful pictures of this bag, though!


Pictures belong to Vineyard Vines
I love that this clutch folds open for more storage but closes into an adorable, small clutch!
The inside lining also matches the bag featured above- bright blue!

See, my camera and this clutch just don't get along, but at least you can see the gorgeous shimmer in the fabric!

This bag normally retails for $98.50, so be sure to enter! It's a wonderful staple for any fashionable girl's wardrobe. 

Mandatory Entry:
After following Ashley Brooke on GFC, stop by the Vineyard Vines website, and let me know some of the new items you like!

Zestii



I'm kind of famous among my little group of friends for my discount shopping abilities. I'm the girl who has not one but TWO coupon organizers with me at all times. I'll admit that I am a bit obsessed with finding good deals, but I'm addicted to the rush of finding a great deal! 

As you already know, I'm a bit addicted to fashion and beauty products as well as getting mail, so online shopping is a major temptation for me. I recently found a great new website, Zestii, to help me fulfill my addiction to online shopping while still saving money!

Zestii is a site similar to Ebates except it's focused on beauty and fashion products. By using Zestii as a search engine for your favorite products/brands/stores, you'll earn up to 10.5% of what you purchased back in cash or credits to Zestii! I've clicked around the site for several days now, and I'm already planning so many future purchases! 

How It Works

1. Make a free account on Zestii - Definitely do this ASAP because they have a promotion going on right now where all new members get a free $5 credit to their account!

2. You can either search for a specific item, brand, or store through their search engine or through their shopping gallery.

3. Zestii will lead you to your store's main page, and they track your purchase

4. Based on the store, you'll receive up to 10.5% of what you spent back in either credits to Zestii or CASH!

Just as an example, here are a few of the stores available on Zestii and the percentages of your purchases that you can get back in cash! There are literally hundreds of stores on Zestii, so I can't list them all, but here are some of my favorites for beauty and fashion products!

3.5% on Sephora
7% on Beauty.com
7% on Beauty Bar
5.6% on Folica
3.5% on ShopBop
 2.1% on Bloomingdales
5.9% on Tory Burch
2.9% on Jack Rogers

Overall, I highly recommend Zestii, and I'm SO excited to start shopping through their site! Try to take advantage of their new member promotion and get a free $5 credit for joining! 

I am a huge fan of online shopping, especially discount online shopping, so look forward to a blog post on all of my favorite online discount stores tomorrow! You'll definitely see Zestii on the list :)




FTC Disclaimer: I am being compensated for this review; however, all opinions stated are my 100% honest opinion. I am a huge fan of Zestii, and I am thrilled about this new website!

Friday Favorites: Sea of Shoes

I love my life. I really do.

...but I would not mind living in Jane Aldridge's Sea of Shoes for a few days the rest of my life.

I think I could handle being this gorgeous.

I know that I'd thoroughly enjoy playing dress-up with her wardrobe of amazing clothes


and pretending that I went to the Crillon Ball in Paris in a custom Chanel dress.


and playing with her out-of-control jewelry collection.


and please don't get me started on her bedroom


or her sea of shoes


especially these custom Chanel pumps.
There are no words.

While I continue to pretend that I live in Jane's Sea of Shoes
is there a blogger that you'd like to switch lives with for a day?

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
