When asked what item I would want with me if stranded on an island, the first thing that comes to mind is my cell phone! Not only is it on me all the time, but it's starting to feel like a permanent accessory! The first thing I had to get when buying my new cell phone as a sleek black case for it. You know, so it would match all my outfits!

Designer Andrea Behar had a similar thought. She created Cellies, a stylish stretch cuff bracelet that easily slips on your wrist that allows cell phone users to conveniently wear their cell phones. Why not make cell phones part of your everyday wardrobe?

The Cellies Story
"No matter how convenient cell phones are, they are quite a nuisance to carry around. I created Cellies because I needed something to solve a real problem I was having," says Andrea. "I was either missing calls because I couldn't hear my phone ringing or feel it vibrating in my bag. I would also try to tuck it discreetly inside my bra strap because I didn't want to hold it in my hands all the time; or put it down somewhere and misplace it. I wanted something that allowed me to carry my phones hands-free and still be able to access it. The only options were bulky belt clip-ons."

Available colors: Black, Pink, White & Blue. If you're buying a new cell phone, or buying a cell phone as a gift, this is the perfect stocking stuffer and accessory.

A Perfect Fit with eShakti

Do you ever get frustrated about not finding the right size and fit of clothing? I feel like shirts from stores like Express are made for tall fashion models, and look like nightgowns on me since I'm short!

eShakti is a new online retailer that lets you tailor your clothes down to the inch. Not just the length of the pants, but everything down to the inseam and lengths of sleeves on tops. Their Mission is:

To make every customer look her absolute best.
Provide amazing styles and a wide variety of fabrics and color choices in all sizes from 0-26.
Ensure the best possible fit and fall by providing all customers with the ability to personalize any item.

I received a dress from eShakti after sending in my measurements for length, sleeve length, waist and chest. The dress fits me perfectly, and I got to customize it for the Fall weather by making it 3 quarter length sleeves.

Here is a promo code especially created for your readers An9Z6I to get 15% off when they shop at eShakti - valid till the end of November.

'Trashing' the Dress in Detroit

Want to get another use out of your wedding gown? Take post wedding pictures in it! 'Trashing the Dress' doesn't necessarily mean turn it into trash, it's just a phrase that has become very popular for taking pictures in your wedding dress, after your wedding. My 3 best friends and me were all married in the past 2 years. We decided to put on our dresses and head to downtown Detroit and take some fun pictures of us and our beautiful, underestimated city.

Thanks to my best girls, Beth, Justine and Kristen, our photographer Alex, and assistant photographer Torrey - so much fun!
