Over the last few weeks, I've barely had time to myself - let alone time to shop. I've packed. I've moved. I've cleaned. I've helped a friend move. Phew! But even now, free time is limited. My focus has shifted to the 10-year high school reunion that I fooled myself into thinking would be a blast to organize. It's not. Since there's no time to visit the mall, I'm turning to the Internet for a bit of sartorial sanity - starting with this month's Style Obsession sponsors.

1. Chiffon Dress, The 1727, $53

I feel like a broken record lately: summer just can't come soon enough. While I not-so-patiently wait for the mercury to rise, I'm daydreaming about these vintage-inspired items from this month's sponsors. Each piece reminds me of grainy 1950s vacation photos - in the very best way possible.

With my Florida vacation a tantalizing 10 days, 10 hours, 49 minutes and 26 seconds away (not like I'm counting down or anything), I've been craving new warm-weather staples: bright colors, chunky jewelry and statement sunglasses. Who else is ready to shed winter's woolen layers?

Heading to the mall today was the worst decision I've made in a long time. Hordes of ravenous people were throwing elbows, hoping to score a post-holiday deal. I'm not sure about you, but I find glittery ornaments less appealing in January, even at 75% off. I should have stayed safely tucked away in front of the computer e-shopping. Here are some of my favorite items from this month's sponsors - and don't forget to check the sidebar for coupon codes.

1. Champagne Gold Drops, Wendy Mink, $198 $168.30 with code
2. Fire Bird Shoes, KM2 Shoes, $350
3. Pillow, Comfort & Samuel, $92.66 $74.13 with code (be sure to check current currency conversion)
4. Triple Gold Silver Rings, Wendy Mink, $55 46.75 with code
   
5. Erich Black Frames, GlassesUSA, $38 $32.30 with code

No one can deny the elegance of saturated green gemstones - and this month's sponsors make it far too easy to indulge. Wendy Mink's Malachite Beaded Tassel necklace ($150) is a standout in my jewelry box that receives a bevvy of compliments whenever I wear it. If you'd rather make a subtle statement, consider Wendy Mink's Green Adventurine necklace ($59) or Acanthus' Gemma Green Onyx Earrings ($60).

It's that time again when our mailboxes are inundated with September magazines. This first sign of autumn making me yearn for cooler days and a well-edited fall wardrobe. (No surprise there, right?) I've already spent hours carefully considering which trends I'm aching to embrace and now we're on to the fun part: shopping. I've spent the better part of today perusing websites to find the perfect autumn items, like these two from our sponsors: Wendy Mink Jewelry's Rose Resin Bracelet (only $45!) and Oufi London's Pippa handbag ($155).
