Missed the Boat?

I just found these Farylrobin Madison heels online. The only problem is that they are sold out everywhere in white and my size (7)! I'm obsessed with tracking these down now. I blame this on two things:

1) With my recovering foot/ankle injury, heels haven't been on my radar.

and

2) Online shopping. If I hadn't been online, I wouldn't have seen these fabulous sold out heels.

Stack Em Up

I recently went to For Love 21, the Forever 21 accessory store, on a mission to find a ton of cheap, stackable, non-bangle bracelets. I found a ton of inexpensive, great bracelets. They can be mixed and matched or worn alone. These are so fun to try on with different outfits:) I'll definitely be getting a lot of use out of these.

Faux leather and silver bead bracelet $4.80

Small Crossbody

I am in search of a small crossbody bag. I would prefer something lightweight and nylon. Lightweight cotton/canvas are okay. I need it to be pretty small, just large enough to hold my id, credit card, cash, lip gloss, camera, phone and keys. I'm going to be using it for the zoo (my husband and I go to the zoo a lot!) and for the occasional trip to an amusement park. I have other great crossbody bags but I need something cheap and one that i won't care if it gets wet or dirty. Two of the below bags are in animal prints since I would be taking it to the zoo more than anything else:) Which one should I get?

Hybrid Heaven

For our third wedding anniversary, my husband surprised me with a Ford Escape Hybrid:) I'm really not much of a car person. I'm not a good driver. I would have been happy with my old car if it were safer. Unfortunately, it was a death trap. So Jeff decided that I needed a better, safer car preferably with better gas mileage. I am an SUV girl, so a little car that does well on miles was not an option. So the Escape Hybrid it is. This car gets more than double the MPG of my old SUV. Jeff did such a great job finding the perfect car for me. It has everything I want. And, it feels good to know that I'm being a little bit green. I really love this car. I love it more every time I get into it. Thanks so much my love:)

ps. I'm adding a pic of my new favorite bag, the Longchamp riding shotgun with me.

Lakers Fever

I'm not a huge basketball fan. For me, the most famous Laker is Mr. Khloe Kardashian, Lamar Odom. My husband laughs because whenever he puts the game on I ask him where the Kardashians are. I still love to support the team though:) I always break out my Lakers Adidas jacket during basketball season. Go Lakers!

Gotta Love The Gap

I have been shopping at the Gap quite a bit over the past year. I find a lot of great affordable basics and accessories. I always shop in the store for the Gap, since their fit can be off. Here are some items I've recently bought or have been eyeing.

Clear jellies


White linen pants


Black leather flip flops


Striped dress (beach dress)


Silver tote bag


Oversized sweater

Work Bag

Okay so I recently started a new job where I work outdoors. So I wanted to get a lightweight, synthetic tote bag that could fit a lot of stuff. Leather really isn't an option because it weighs too much and isn't weather proof.

So I bought a Dooney and Bourke bag, the Gwenny large tote. It is nylon, has two main compartments, and has a ton of pockets. Pockets, pockets, pockets. The bag was so functional for work. But... it just wasn't that cute:( It is a great alternative to the Longchamp though. It is nylon, well made, lightweight, and it has similar leather trims. Despite it's functionality, I returned it.

Dooney and Bourke Gwenny Tote- It's a return



So I ended up with my original idea, a black Longchamp Pliage. Unfortunately it has only one small pocket. But IMO it is more attractive than the Dooney. And I much prefer how it sits against my body when I'm wearing it. I don't let junk float around my bags, so I hope it isn't that hard to keep organized. I keep pens and my cell phone in the pocket. Yes, it would be nice to have other pockets for keys, sunglasses, and my wallet. But I love it:) This will also be used as a knitting bag when I'm over using it for work. I never really got why people love their Longchamps so much until now!


Longchamp Le Pliage- Its a keeper!
