a little indulgence is always in order...

While these summer days wear on the moms in the group... (myself included!) I thought it would be fun to indulge ourselves with a little window shopping.

Please be warned... none of these pieces are what I would consider "affordable", however they are all swoon worthy.

I am loving this sexy open back shirt... this top, skinny jeans and sky-high heels would make me infinitely happy - you know, in that purely materialistic way*. (Haute Hippy, Nordstrom, $195)


Good sunglasses like these would for sure hide my over-tired eyes... and make me skinnier**, right!?!? (Christian Dior, Net-A-Porter, $275)


J'adore this bag. Dang. I bet I could write better blog posts*** with this handbag on my arm. (Marc Jacobs, Bloomingdale's, $358)


This lovely tunic would be perfect for the pool and beach... I bet no one would even notice my hairy legs!**** (DVF, $210)


Well, hello gorgeous! Oh you weren't talking to me... oh, yes, the shoes. Gorgeous indeed! These would make the sippy cups***** melt from my existence. (Cynthia Vincent, Diani Boutique, $395)


Going along with my running joke (see ****)... this cosmetic bag better wake me up and put my make-up on for me for $95. Although, it is darling. (Tory Burch, $95)


* please note, I do not condone relying on "materialistic" happiness- I do however like to dream that it is a reality. It isn't FYI. THINGS will never make you (or me) happy. You do know that, right!??!
** if,IF, sunglasses could make you skinnier... $275 might be worth it - cheaper than a year of a gym membership. But again, pipe-dreams people. Until then, I'll stick with my $6 F21 sunnies.
*** you know, never mind the fact that actually writing a blog post AND having a purse on your arm at the same time would be extremely challenging.
**** in college I worked retail and always had a running joke with a co-worker... when something was over-priced we would say what that piece of clothing "better do" for us for being so expensive. You know like "those pants better wake me up in the morning and shake off my cellulite for $100" For some reason, I still get a kick out of that joke today. That was like 15 years ago. Good jokes die hard, I guess.
***** it's dumb that I get so annoyed by sippy cups. But enough already! Sippy cups are SO 2005.

I'm falling...

Here's a trend I have noticed this spring that I have to admit, I am falling for. Low priced jelly shoes from high priced brands. Let's discuss...

Kate Spade, $60


What they may lack in comfort (although... I can't say for sure, I just predict a few blisters, maybe like a new pair of flip flops?) the arguably make up for in looks and bold colors.

Diane Von Furstenberg, $75


This pair from DVF are calling my name from the mountain tops and I think I am about to cave (also, *spoiler alert* this pair was included in my Spring 2010 looks:book!)

Tory Burch, $145


I've never met a shoe by Tory Burch that I didn't love.

Tory Burch, $95


Case in point.

Marc Jacobs, $80 (from $160)


This is me getting Marc Jacob's Mouse flats within reach. Whether you "jelly" or not... it's tempting, no?

JCrew, $55


This is JCrew talking me into a "flat" version of wellies. My knees are quivering. I think it's working.

See by Chloe, $75


See by Chloe has me believing. In what, I'm not sure. Must be a crush.

So are you falling for these "designer" jellies?

perforated leather...

I am just completely enamored with perforated leather lately... don't you just want to reach through the screen to touch it?

Fashion Friday: Nature Inspired...



Since the daffodils are still blooming in my neck of the woods... and since it is such a short lived experience... I will celebrate them once again this week with nature inspired Fashion Friday.



~~~

Happy weekend all! I am off on an impromptu trip to Chicago and there WILL be shopping involved... perhaps some mobile blogging as well, I just can't say for sure! Also... Happy May Day!

Hooked On: Vintage-y Bandanas!

This week while perusing Target (so dangerous!) I came across these glorious vintage-y bandanas. Aren't they fab? While a bandana is of course a revolving door as far as wardrobe trends go... all I could think of was how to integrate them into my home! And at only $9.99 each - what a steal!

Two sewn together to make a throw pillow...

One in each color used for placemats (or napkins - urban cowboy style!) for a spring dinner party...

One or more thrown over the back or arm of a chair or sofa for a dash of color...

Using one to "reupholster" a dining chair cushion...

... the options are endless!

Yellow


Rosebud


Green


Of course, if price weren't an option... these would be glorious options as well! (At least it is fun to dream!)
