Rauterkus
 Stephanie Rauterkus has launched a new personal finance blog - a kind of lap bar to keep families on the rails through dips and curves of the roller-coaster economy. The blog, 365 Days on a Budget, was started July 5, 2010. Every day, the professor, wife and mother of two updates readers on her struggles and successes as she attempts to balance both budget and life. It is described as a chronicle of the daily challenges and triumphs of a "regular" family as it works to achieve its financial goals by keeping a watchful eye on spending. Visitors from all over the world have clicked on to the blog, and her audience grows daily. Join Dr. Rauterkus on her journey at http://www.365daysonabudget.com/ .

Dr. Rauterkus is an assistant professor of finance at UAB School of Business has a research focus in specific innovations aimed at making housing more affordable for moderate and low income families as well as other personal finance areas.  She has been published in Financial Management and The Journal of Economics and Finance Education among other scholarly publications.  Dr. Rauterkus has received grants to fund her housing and mortgage research from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Smith Barney and others.

This Spring's Giving Me The Blues...Chanel Blues That Is

Saw this look built around this Chanel Riva nail polish and had to share!  You can pick this polish up at any of the local Chanel counters - Sephora, Saks or Gus Mayer - all at the Summit!  Totally adorable...

Mmmm...JellyBeans

Michele Watches latest & greatest were on display at Saks over the weekend.  And although it was raining with their Prom Fashion Show going on and the trunk show...well your girls at MCC could not pass it up!  (will post favorite prom looks in a day or so).  Anywho, the lady from Michele said that most of what they had in the store will not be available in the store right now, but they are able to order it and some of the styles will eventually make it into the store.  Read:  You can get the hotness before everyone else!!

So take a look at my favorite new faces below :)

Gorgeous rose gold...and I mean gorgeous!!  Caber Park Diamond Rose Gold w/ 148 diamonds

First off, a Michele watch for under $500!!  Fun face & super fun strap colors! Deco Grand Carousel Stainless Pink Silicon
 Wow guys...what can we say?  These Tahitian Jelly Bean watches come in some fabulous colors and start at $295...way to go Michele!  I think I need one in red or teal and that chocolate just looks so rich!!


Urban Park Stainless Bracelet, Simple, effortless style
Of course the Butterfly Collection is back but with yellow gold butterflies as opposed to the multi color and there are tons of sweet color options to match any mood you might have!

So there you have it!  Now even if you didn't make it, it's almost like you were there...well kinda.  Well not exactly because they had cupcakes and you could also try them on:), but close enough!!

Til next time...keep it chic!
