June Summer Sandals Style from Aerosoles

I love being a blog ambassador for Aerosoles. With a new style to try out each month, who wouldn't? For June, I picked out the low stacked wedge gladiator sandal, Yet Another , in tan (the trendy style also comes in black and olive green). The shoe stands out because of the three contrasting buckles on the leather upper.  To be honest, when I first tried the shoes on, I wasn't sure how comfortable they would be mainly because of the location of the buckles.  But when I actually wore them to work, they were surprisingly easy to navigate the hard city streets in.  And each time I wear "Yet Another," the better they feel.

Mobile Fun's Genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 Flip Cover

Me with my new Samsung S3 flip case./Everything She Wants A few months ago, I finally upgraded my outdated, clunky smart phone to the streamlined Samsung Galaxy S3.  While it's a couple models behind the latest Samsung Galaxy phone, I love it . And the Genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 flip cover I was gifted from Mobile Fun has made my phone even better. I selected the official Samsung case in a fashionable dark pink color.  Besides being lovely to look at, it fits and protects my phone without looking bulky or detracting from the phone's super slim profile. Admittedly, I'm not a tech gal.  So in a "blonde" moment, I originally tried to fit my phone into the case without removing the back cover. But my gadget-savvy hubby (his review of the I-Phone 5 case he picked from Mobile Fun is coming soon), quickly showed me how to easily snap the phone into the cover. The sturdy yet feminine case is great to travel with ( see the photo of me with the case on a recent t
