Snakes and shifts? I don’t usually like snakes (I loath them), but I do like love shift dresses. They are perfect for a girlio like me, who wears one size on top and a different one on the bottom.
This shift dress from French Connection is especially cute because of the “tough,” metallic snake print juxtaposed with the femininity of a 60′s era dress.
A perfect union really.
Remember a while back when I wrote about how Ugg makes virtually everything. Well…. I ain’t lyin’!
Ugg now has a wedding shop, which includes furry flip flops, metallic leather short boots (those have been around) and irridescent sequins classic short boots.
I’m not sure their intent is to actually have brides wear these under their wedding dresses (not that they wouldn’t be thrilled at that photo op!), but who would actually need “wedding uggs” in May, June or July? Couples honeymooning in Chile?
Party in a glass. What’s more fun than that? You don’t even have to clean your house.
I UH-DORE these amazing little 13.5 oz glasses, which you fill up with your favorite libation… any time after noon. The speckles make way for bubbles, which float to the uppers of my new favorite, and dishwasher-safe I might add, glassware from Anthropologie.
Tote your favorite city… and don’t get lost in it either, for that matter, when you carry this earth-friendly map tote from well, maptote on myhabit.com.
At 14″ x 15.5″, these are roomy enough for the beach, the farmer’s market or just to and from work. Of course my fave is the Paris one, but there are other ones too, like the weekend getaway trio with Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and the Hamptons on them.
I love them so much that I want them all. One for $22 or three for $30. You do the math.
I’ve posted RED Valentino a few times on this blog, so it should be no surprise to you that I think this baby sister brand to Valentino is AB FAB.
I especially love this RED overcoat and red and white spotted dress. Both pieces are amazingly feminine with adorable details that call to mind lots of the fashion I see and love on AMC’s Mad Men.
It’s not bloody likely that I will ever wear a white bikini. It’s a good day when I will put on one at all – which is to say when my children are the only ones at the pool to see me in it.
But if I were to regularly wear a bikini. And if it did happen to be white. I would be wearing this Chloé one with the gold scalloped trim!
If Chloé makes one more thing that I adore and can’t afford, I will JUST die! Luckily, for life’s sake, a white bikini is probably never in my future. So I will live another day.
But isn’t it cute?!
There are few things better than the marriage between shoe maker extraordinaire and sneaker maker extraordinaire. Several years ago, I bought two pairs of Cole Haan ballet flats with Nike Air technology. I was pregnant at the time, and just needed comfortable shoes that I could chase my then 2 1/2YO around in, without looking like a schlep.
They were on sale, so I treated myself to both pairs, one leopard calf hair with chocolate patent around the edges and the other, which were zebra calf hair with black patent edges. They have been amazing shoes now for over 3 years, and may just be the first pairs of shoes I have actually “worn out.”
So, I’m looking for new ones. These Cole Haan Air Tali Jeweled Ballerina flats are a little more summery and a little less all-purpose than the calf hair ones, but I still love them. And if I’m going to pay good money for a pedicure, I definitely want to show off my toes anyway!
There is notshortage of stripes this spring.
You will find them on throw pillows, dresses, wedge sandals, iphone cases and pretty much anything else you can think of. So because I love them, and because there are so many to be found, here is a little bundling of some stripes I tracked down. (Complete shopping info via Polyvore.com too.)
I don’t know about you, but it seems like I never have enough cutting boards around. Seemingly, the two that I have are in the dishwasher or worse yet, are sitting dirty on the counter when I need to cut something else. So when I saw these cool, personalized cutting boards on Zulily this a.m., I had to post. I’ve seen similar personalized trays in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but I am NOT someone, who needs another tray around my house!
And hint, hint, what a great mother’s day present too!
Anthropologie’s Luella Dress. This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful and ladylike black dresses I have ever come across. And the price is surprisingly low for something that has so many aspects of fine tailoring.
You’ll notice the scalloped edges at both the sleeves and the hem, the sheer back, the skirt’s slight flare. Wear it to an evening wedding, your big birthday bash, to dinner with your honey or to receive an award for “bessed dressed!” It’s shows just the right amount of skin to be sexy, but still has a conservative, antique-y look about it.
It’s timeless and feminine and I think I NEED it!
