Nearly half of couples will get engaged sometime between November and February. Yep! They sure will! So naturally, hopeful brides are creating Wish Lists this time of year with their favorite engagement ring styles. In today's Robbins Brothers Coffee Break, Shulie and I show you two festive designs that are sure to be featured in many upcoming marriage proposals. Three-stone…

Coffee Break with Tracey & Shulie: Arguing in a relationship sucks! But look at the bright side, following every "break-up" is the "make-up" & that can be fun! Let us know the best way that you or your significant other has ever said or shown..."I'M SORRY!" (Take a look at what some of our Facebook fans had to say about the…

We need coffee ASAP….can you tell?! Up pretty late watching the VMAs and also on social networks listening in on people talk about Lady Gaga as a man, Chris Brown’s ‘flying’ performance, Kanye West trying his best to behave, another celebratory award for Britney Spears, and Beyonce’s pregnancy news! Congrats to Bey and Jay who are expecting their first child. Both were glowing at the show last night.

First she had a career, then she dated, then she became a wife, and now Beyonce…

Happy Monday! Shulie & I are just hanging out in the Robbins Brothers Ring Center, getting caught up on the latest celeb engagement & wedding news & wondering….when did you realize that you were in love with that special person? For me, I knew it was love when…I thought about him EVERY day and realized that “catering” to a guy isn’t so bad. Shulie says, I knew it was love when…I skipped hair & makeup & he still thought I was…

PDA–What is too much? Is it normal to hold your mate’s hand and/or hug them EVERYWHERE you go? We wonder. So let us know how you REALLY feel about this topic. Get your coffee & let’s chat! Also take a look at what Robbins Brothers' Facebook fans have to say about this.

(By the way, Shulie &…

In today's Robbins Brothers Coffee Break with Tracey & Shulie we're discussing colored gemstones & diamonds. Which do you prefer? Grab your drinks & let's chat!

Shulie & I are on location today in the lovely city of Monrovia! (Hey, sometimes we girls need to get away from the office to feel refreshed.) Lots of talk about prenups lately. What's your take on this? 1) It's a must. At the end of the day I'm responsible for my own well-being OR 2) Not interested. Why premeditate marriage failure? Ooooh we might need TWO cups of coffee for this discussion.…

May 23--In today's Robbins Brothers Coffee Break with Tracey & Shulie we pose an important question: Ladies, will you or did you take your husband's last name, keep your madien name or hyphenate the two? And why? Men, which do you prefer?? Let us know your…

April 28--I've spent the entire week searching wedding gowns and trying to figure out which one will come closest to Kate Middleton's. I'd love to see her in something like this even though it's quite modern. (Or maybe this is just my personal preference...it's beautiful!) What do you think??

The suspense is driving me crazy and I'm hoping she shocks us all. Well, as part of my Robbins Brothers duties I'll be up at 1am…

April 11-In today's Robbins Brothers Facebook Coffee Break with Tracey & Shulie the gals have one simple question: Round or Princess?? Let's Chat!

March 14--I'm excited about Daylight Savings as nighttime will come later...yay! But I'm seriously missing that lost hour so today's Coffee Break with Tracey & Shulie is just what the doctor ordered! Topic: How important is the way he proposes? Or is it not that important at all as long as the ring is nice & carefully selected? I say they're both important! Two things people want to know when a woman gets engaged: Let's see the ring & how did he…

March 8--It’s always fun to see an actual celebrity marriage proposal, especially when it’s caught on tape. During the week leading up to Valentine’s Day, actress and talk show host Holly Robinson Peete, also recent host of the NAACP Image Awards, shared details of her marriage proposal from hubby and ex NFL player Rodney Peete. What a beautiful couple these two make! Even more impressive is that they’re still standing strong after all these years. Congrats to Holly and Rodney from everyone…

March 7--For today's Coffee Break with Tracey & Shulie we're discussing engagement ultimatums! In other words, propose or hit the road. Personally I think they can be effective. Sometimes. However, I believe in giving myself the ultimatum. For example, "if this relationship doesn't progress by end of year then I'm moving on." That way the person issuing the ultimatum is truly in control of the situation. But hey, that's just my two cents. To chime in on…

March 4--Today's featured engagement ring style from one my favorite designers, Ritani, is for the sophisticated woman who's a hopeless romantic, adores her significant other & appreciates a rich vintage look. If this is one of your favs be sure to click the link, 'Like' it & share with friends!

March 3--One of the great highlights of working at Robbins Brothers is that I meet couples from all walks of life who each have a different story to tell. Many are so strong & courageous and have endured the unimaginable, yet still share a love for each other that stands solid as a rock. Yesterday our Dallas store had the pleasure of helping the sweetest couple, Lauren & Sean, find a diamond for their engagement ring. What a perfect match made in heaven. Lauren was near death 5…

March 1-For some odd reason many of my friends believe I know the coolest spots in LA to hang out for girls' night or even date night. (Yeah right, I haven't had a 'real' date in a long time! So why do they ask me??) The truth is, I'm not as in-the-know as I used to be! I'm getting older! And to be quite honest I really do enjoy staying at home on a Friday night. No, I really do!

Anyway...help me out...what are some of the coolest spots to go on a date in Torrance, preferably…
