miss selfridge

awesome accessories.

awesome.

take a look

and go here for a currency converter.

seriously...the cutest stuff ever.

reserving my energy

for a party, 

standing in line 

and 

midnight showings

super excited.

monday haze

why does modcloth have to be so wonderful?

besides that, this week may be sporadic with posts

because:

a. my bff is in town

until

b.i go out of town...for two weeks.

sooooooo

feel free to contemplate your summer wardrobe

and let me know if you have

any questions about

how to wear certain things

or how to wear them on your body type.

any summer clothing q's.

 ~

i hope you got to shop this weekend...or even window shop.

i'm on money lock down until our trip

but you better believe i will be buying

something awesome on my trip of awesomeness.

(we're going to visit my in-laws...lucky for me i love my in-law)

i'm hoping there are some awesome thrift shops along the way.

have a great week friends!

fantasy friday

all things chloe.

i love the blues, tans and browns in this line.

grand total for all of this:

$8,303

and some of it is even on sale!

here for shopping details

on repeat

i think about things on repeat.

right now all of these things are on my mind

going in repeat mode...hopefully i can get them out soon.

 couches.

in my imagination my husband is giving

me thousands of dollars to re-do our 

entire living room

source

which includes an elusive picture

of a tree with symmetrical birds...

i saw it 

on one of my shows

and now 

i can't remember what show it was

this isn't it but i i'm having 

a little love affair with folk art.

source

and i think i've decided on blue and orange color scheme too

for...

somewhere in my house.

p.s. i don't actually have a house, i'm a renter

so when i say "in my imagination" it's 

totally and completely in my imagination.

source

and if we're already down the road

of my imagination, 

may as well add

the perfect summer frock and sandals in

my awesome (fake) house:

what's on repeat in your head??

wednesday webs

bluefly.com

i'm sure you've heard of bluefly

or at least seen some of 

there interesting ads

they have designer things

at discount prices...

not that it fits my

budget all the time

but you can definitely

find a reasonable price 

if there's something in particular

that you want.

here's a little

eye candy from bluefly.com

details here

see, there are some things that

are completely affordable with

a designer label on it!

i have to admit, a designer label

does appeal to me...what can i say.

happy browsing.

look 4 less

as i was perusing the internet

i came across this great summer look

comfy, easy, feminine

and

$511.

yeah, that's a lot of money

that i don't exactly have access to.

so i figured i could probably find something

pretty close to the original

here's what i found:

tops

if you want the original halter look that's totally doable,

they seemed to cost more...odd, right?

then i found some other alternates

that one in the middle is from wal-mart and is $10. 

i may actually go right now to get it

ok, not really, but you should.

~

bottoms up:

bottoms

those two in the middle are from ae and they are $20..and there are

a good amount left look under clearance jeans.

and on the bottom, those are from

banana republic and they have a lot left too.

~

now shoes at anthro 

are pretty one of a kind

so these are the best

imitations i could come up with:

shoes

i personally like the $49 ones but the one

in the middle is pretty close to the heel and cork feel of the original.

~

now for the necklace, it seems like

you could probably do it yourself.

here are some close ideas off of etsy:

here

here

here

i'm sure you probably know someone 

that can make jewelry or you know

how to do it yourself, i bet you could make something pretty close.

same with the hair tie:

bows

so, what do you think?

let's put some together

it's always easier to

see it all together:

deets

deets

 deets

did you see that?

as i was doing my monday routine

which involves getting online mostly

i saw this pic of 

lady gaga

at a baseball game this weekend.

let's just say

it's not exactly 

appropriate baseball attire

yeah, that's panties and a bra with a jersey.

to the right is 

what i would deem more appropriate, right?

plus the amazing hot dogs and fries.

yum.

all though i haven't been to a 

professional baseball game since i was 5

i thought it would still be fun to 

do a little baseball appropriate

attire...since gaga is setting a bad example.

there's the obvious wearing a baseball shirt,

here are a few updated versions

of rocking a baseball t.

details

or

you could just go how you are.

whatever you're comfortable in

and add a little team spirit to the mix,

like a bag that has the team logo

or one of those little removable tattoos on your cheek

or if you prefer  dresses

dress up, have fun, work your summer look girls.

 details

whatever you prefer to rock at a baseball game

don't delusion yourself into thinking

you could pull off a gaga.

only gaga can (and would) pull of

undergarments at a baseball game.

play ball.

fantasy friday

deets

free

it's finally the last day of school here.

source

here's what my kids will be living in, i'm sure...

clothes

and here are some combos for

mother's to be

~

remember, it doesn't have to 

say maternity on the tag

you can mix in pieces that you already own

look at your wardrobe 

and see the things that can...

grow with you.

maternity

and some more 

summer combos

because 

i am so excited 

that summer break is offically

(finally)

here.

i'm off to celebrate all day long...i now have

no reason to wake up in the morning.

woo hoo.

wednesday webs

do you crave clothing that's

one of a kind?

did you grow up shopping

at thrift stores?

today's wed web is for you.

bleubird vintage

all of the clothing is hand picked

and gone through maticulously at

bleubird vintage.

this is a great one stop

shop to find some unique pieces

here are a few that

caught my eye:

these looks are all so much fun.

i can't even tell you how much i love that

blue polka dot jumper, so cute.

even shoes!

there's also men, decor and kids categories!

go check it out, you might find something

that you super-love and can't live without.

and you'll be the only one with it!

happy browsing.

hot squeeze, cool breeze

comcastic was having issues

in my area this morning...

shocking.

not that i don't love my digital cable

because i totally do.

so here's an afternoon posting.

anyway.

jackets.

summer jackets to be exact.

depending on your climate it may already be

smoldering and humid.

or

partly sunny and rain.

i'm in the latter.

regardless, there are always cold summer nights

where a light jacket is necessary.

feast your eyes on some great options.

most of which can be found 

at old navy!

jackets here

i am in definite need 

of a light jacket for summer.

i like the one on the bottom left

but i wonder what the pockets

would look like, on?

too much volume 

in an area

that doesn't need it?

these are the things you need to be aware

of when shopping.

just cause it looks cute

doesn't mean it's for your

body.

look at all the angles.

do you have a light jacket already?

is it amazing? tell me where you got it.

there's no such thing

as too many shoes.

in this case, sandals.

so many summer choices

leads to so many sandal choices.

there is no such thing

as too many.

(this is written mostly for my husbands benefit)

i have two or three pairs of 

"go-to" sandals

in my imagination i have 20-30 pairs of sandals

to choose from.

what?

does that seem like a lot?

ehh.

sandals are fun and they are 

a way that we can show our personality

through fashion.

you may prefer a t-shirt and jeans but 

when you through on a pair

of sandals that "scream" YOU

then you are set to face the world.

sandals

so here are some ideas to get 

your brain swirling with the 

possibilities of sandals out there

just in case your eyes have

been closed every time you go out.

these are between $50-$100:

where to shop

~~~

these are under $50:

where to shop

have i convinced you?

now just bring your husband over to the compter screen 

and say that i'm super important

and i know every womans

apparel needs.

that life as you know it

can only be complete with

at least (X amount) pairs of sandals.

good luck.

i'm still working on my own husband...we'll see.

fantasy friday

re-make of the wizard of oz?
