So a few months ago I was contacted by one of my blogging buddies Kimberlee of I Have a Degree in This about BlumeGirl.com- a company that personalizes pretty much anything you can think of. From onesies for babies to shirts for dogs, Blume will have everyone calling your name.

You can personalize lingerie as well. Remember Valentine’s Day is right around the corner so this would be a pleasant surprise for the boo lol.

Celebs like Angelina Jolie, Victoria and David Beckham, Gwen Stefani, Nicole Richie, Mariska Hargitay, Jessica Simpson and many others all love Blume’s creative styles. Blume’s can also be found in stores nationwide and also abroad, so all of my international readers, you can get down with Blume too!

So I was completely lost when I had to come up with something for my patch. I am not too big on random people calling me by my name in the middle of the street so I didn’t get ‘Janique.’ Check out my patches from BlumeGirl.com

I chose “HGB” when I wear his vest people will ask what does it stand for and it will be the perfect time to promote my blog. Genius right? Well maybe not genius, but I think it is a good marketing strategy.

So head over to BlumeGirl.com and design your own personalized patches.

What is MadeByAG? Source

MadeByAG represents all things that (Amina G.) wants to share with the public. Originality is what MadeByAG is all about. It is the stuff that makes people stop, stare, and compliment. Trendy, tribal, sophisticated, edgy, unique. There’s no one word that can describe the pieces. There is a piece for just about anyone.

Recently, Amber Rose was spotted rocking a pair of earrings from Made By AG

MadeByAG pieces are definitely original. It is hard to find unique jewelry of good quality at affordable prices. I think this line does it all. It is for those who like to standout and love statement pieces. The pieces are filled with bold, bright colors and various geometric shapes.

This was my accessory board before Tuesday evening. It was very lackluster and uninspiring. I would gravitate toward the same pieces over and over. Things that I once loved did not do it for me anymore. I was bored and noticed that I lacked color. (It feels like I’m talking about a relationship here lol). Anyway, on Tuesday I went to my favorite accessories place and picked up a few pieces that would give me a pick me up for the spring and summer.

This was my board before

This is my board now

It is amazing how a little color goes a long way.

Check out the pieces that I added to more board when you continue

Can you believe I only paid $50 for all of these pieces? I was surprised and excited when they told me my total.

I love these earrings because of their size. They are huge but they are light weight which is exactly what I was looking for. Heavy earrings stretch your ear lobes and these feel as light as a stud.

Turquoise is always in season for the spring/summer. It adds just the right amount of color.

Pink is my favorite color but you would never know considering I don’t own any pink jewelry besides a pink pearl bracelet my brother bought me years ago when he studied abroad.

I don’t know why I bought two orange necklaces lol I guess one will be for the shop and swap next week.

These are my three favorite pieces. I wanted a wooden necklace for my safari looks and I fell in love with the orange necklace as soon as I looked at it. The teal necklace also came in purple and pink but I felt this color was more bold. I may go back for the purple and pink.

I love the fact I purchased mainly sets too. Its hard finding earrings to compliment certain necklaces and now I don’t have that problem.

Now my next step is reorganizing my board or purchasing an additional one. I find that cork boards are perfect for organizing your accessories. You get a clear picture of all of the items that you have so when you go shopping you know exactly what  you need. The boards are relatively inexpensive (depending on sized) they can cost anywhere from $1 to $20 and you can purchase push-pins at the dollar store.

Reader, Myeedah went to the Noir Jewelry Sample Sale I posted a few weeks ago and sent in a few photos of some items she purchased. Let me be the first to say that I am MAD that I did not get a chance to go. She got some really great pieces. Check out what she purchased

I love all of these pieces. My favorites would have to be the cuff and the jaguar (I think) necklace. Myeedah great picks girl!

If you attend a sale posted on Her Goody Bag, send in photos of youor purchases to info@hergoodybag.com and I will post them.

My favorite pieces would have to be the lips, the angel, the arrow, and the heart and bell. They are simple, but would grab anyoone’s attention.

The new year is upon us and it is about that time that everyone sets goals that they want to accomplish throughout the year. I don’t necessarily believe people have to wait until January 1 to make a change, but for many people this is a good starting point. I always write my goals out in various categories such as: faith, relationships, career, finances, health, etc. So this year I added two new categories, fashion/style and beauty thought it would be fun to share my fashion and beauty resolutions with you all for the upcoming year.  So here it goes…

1. Shop my closet: When I shop, I sometimes forget to think about what I already own. I sometimes end up with two or three of the same or very similar items. It’s not until I get home and put everything away that I realize I had something similar. So I can only buy things that I don’t already own.
2. Create more creative looks: When I say creative looks, I don’t mean “crazy.” I usually stick to classic pieces, which you can never go wrong with, but I want to play around with more colors, textures, prints, and accessories
3. Buy more accessories: My accessories collection is slowly fading, and accessories transform an outfit. So when I shop, I will look for accessories first, since they are significantly cheaper than purchasing an entirely new outfit, to create different looks.
4. Use my makeup: I have A LOT of makeup, not as much as a makeup artist, but I only wear makeup when I’m going out or on the weekends. Sometimes I don’t feel like getting up 15-minutes earlier to “put on my face” for work. So I must not waste my money and use what I have.
5. Hair Rules: I want to try different styles. I have three “signature” styles that I rock now: my good ol’ faithful doobie wrap, a sleek-chic ponytail, and curly/waves. I want to try different hairstyles to switch up my look. Also work on getting my hair healthier. I am not on this “natural” bandwagon that most people are on. I was considering going natural, but then I really thought about it and thought why? My hair is healthy now, and I am relaxed, but I want it to grow fuller and longer.
6. Nails, Nails, Nails: I used to do my at home manicures every Sunday, then I fell behind with some things at work and spent my Sundays trying to catch up instead of pampering myself. So I need to keep up with my manicures because they do wonders for my old lady hands.

What are your 2011 fashion and beauty resolutions?
