Donni Charm Spring '13 Trunk Show

Scarves in my spring trunk show

Trunk Show Donni Charm by gusta88 on Polyvore

WEEEEEEE spring trunk show!!! These are the scarves and colors that I will have for y'all. Echo is sold out online, but don't worry, mama's got it. A lot of these only have 1 or 2 left online, and they will most likely be sold out by the time my trunk show rolls around--which is why campus reps (aka me, hi) are so fun! Not to mention, discounts I can provide if you're a student at Tech. YAY~!~.

A lot of people ask me what my favorite scarves are.
For my spring trunk show, my favorites have to be zen together, bella and echo. I like to stick to the signature donni charm earthy-tones when it comes to my personal style, but I am a sucker for the lilac and pistachio colors of the bella scarves.

If you have a soft spot for lace, you will die for donni charm divine. I ordered a forever divine in white, which is an infinity-scarf version of the divine. Donni divine is also the only scarf available in desert rose, and I love that color.

One of my best sellers in my fall trunk show was the donni karma. I own it myself, and it's a reversible light blue/taupe light, fringe scarf. It's considered a "classic" for donni charm, and I had to bring it back for spring.

All of these are made of really light materials, so they won't weigh you down or make you hot this spring/summer. I've seen a lot of girls transform their scarf into a head piece for Coachella, or tie it to their beach bag/purse.

Jewelry in my spring trunk show

All the jewelry I ordered for my fall trunk show sold out the fastest. I thought I'd bring back the best sellers (wrap) in new colors, and include some of the spring collection jewelry. Donni Charm also recently came out with hair ties--WITH CUTE LITTLE WING CHARMS, of course.

My favorite item in their jewelry line this spring has to be donni groove. I mean, I ordered it in three colors.

Ways to wear it

Notice the new donni charm muscle tanks in this picture! The yellow and sand-ish colored tanks, shown above, are the latest tee style in donni charm's spring '13 line. Super light-weight and easy-to-layer. Great for traveling or beach days.

If you know you want to buy one of the scarves or jewelry items before my trunk show (mid april), please leave a comment or text me! I'm getting the shipment in later this week and will have a trunk show soon after!

I ordered some scarves in a few different colors, but other than that there will only be one scarf in each style! AKA tell me ASAP so I can hold it for you.

Look out for a Facebook event for the trunk show! :>

Hi, I'm an Aries, move over.

I did an article today for Study Breaks about zodiac compatibility and now my whole day is reading about astrology (twist my arm), which is something I can't help but be fascinated by. Allow me to go fully in depth on this unhealthy fixation (do I have a lot of those????) via astrology.com, my favorite zodiac platform (is that sad I have a favorite???????).

According to astrology.com, Aries...

Are leaders. First in line to get things going. (I'VE BEEN THE LEADER IN MANY A GROUP PROJECT, AS I RECALL.)
are "cardinal" signs and ike to initiate rather than complete (YES. COMPLETING HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ME.
Impulsive Aries might be tempted to ram their ideas down people's throats without even bothering to ask if they want to know (ACCURATE. SORRY MY IDEAS ARE BETTER THAN YOURS.)
Are a bundle of energy and dynamism (I MEAN I'M TALKING IN ALL CAPS RIGHT NOW, IT DOESN'T GET MORE ENERGETIC THAN THAT.)
Are not likely to soften up--they're blunt and to the point. (WHAT IS BEATING AROUND THE BUSH?????)
Ruled by the planet Mars, the "action planet" of the zodiac. Driven by passion and drive. (I FEEL AS THOUGH I'M A PASSIONATE CREATURE, YES.)
Associated element is fire--hasty decision makers because they're so eager to jump right into things. All about action and enthusiasm. (JUMPING INTO THINGS??? HASTY??? IMPULSIVE??? YES. GUILTY. CHECK.)
The Ram's color is bright red, a sure sign of the fire that breathes within. (WELL OKAY)
When it comes to friendship, Aquarius are best suited for Aries (TWO OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE IN FACT AQUARIUS.)
When it comes to love, Leo and Sagittarius are the best matches for Aries (I HAVE DATED NEITHER)
Almost perfect love matches: Gemini, Aquarius
Opposites that may attract: Virgo, Scorpio (DATED A VIRGO FOR A LONG TIME)
Signs to learn from: Pisces, Taurus
Signs to avoid: Cancer, Capricorn

"COASTIN' on a dream".... see what I did there.

Coastin' by gusta88 on Polyvore

I've developed an unhealthy fixation on coasters lately. The joke of a coaster set in my apartment currently, is a left over item from my sister's college days, and I think their duties as drink holders are coming to a swift end. They are glass and each have a fashionista cartoon sketch on them, similar to the cover of the Skinny Bitch book.

However, these cartoon-girl coasters have unidentified stains on them that Zeus himself could not find the tides to remove them with. These dirty coasters sit on the desk next to my bed and mock me during the day, and haunt me during the night, laughing at me menacingly.

"Tee Hee Hee, you need new coasters, we are going to ruin the entire atmostphere of your room and apartment because we are ugly Tee Hee Hee," is something to the effect of what they're saying every day. ANYWAYS....... I think it would be fun to collect coasters from different parts of the world so I guess on my next jaunt to Dubai and India I'll pick up a set or two. . . zZzZz. . . . Until then, I'm not opposed to Anthropology coasterzzz
