Thursday was a pretty blah outfit. I'm starting to "pop" a bit so my regular shirts all feel too short! Glad I ordered a few work shirts from Destination Maternity! Plus I started using the BeBand I got at Target as buttoning the pants is a wee tight these days.

It's the first day with the new camera! I'm also using a GorillaPod as my tripod. So lots of new things to get used to! I assure you I will get better pictures as I get used to my new set-up!

J got me this sweater for Christmas. He had heard me mention I was looking for an orange cardigan, but was having a hard time finding one. So I was very excited when I opened up this gift on Christmas Day!

Now I could finally do the charcoal grey/orange combination that I "pinned" on Pinterest!

The Best of 2011

2012-01-01T10:04:00.000-08:00

2011 was quite the year. Namely for these two reasons...

Truffle joined our family on May 14, 2011!

J and I found out we are expecting our first baby!

I hope to get back to blogging my OOTDs, as I received a new camera for Christmas!

See y'all soon :)

Off topic- Acts of Kindness for the Holidays

2011-12-04T06:48:00.000-08:00

I think there are opportunities year round to partake in Acts of Kindness. However, during the holidays is where it could mean the most to many people. I'm linking up with Suburban Princess, who posted a list of 25 Acts of Kindness.

Today, I'd like to feature the three Acts of Kindness I've already completed for the Holiday season.

(1) Adopt an elderly person - Through my work, I signed up to adopt an elderly gentleman for the holidays. So many eldery and disabled adults in our community survive on so little. Many of them do not have family to help out. The number one item on his wish list was for a blue bathrobe. After searching numerous stores, I settled on an Izod robe in navy blue. I really hope he likes it!

(2) Angel Tree - Like many other churches, my church has an Angel Tree. An Angel Tree has many different Angel cards with children and families' wish lists. My card had requests for books for kids of all ages and wooden puzzles. I had a blast at Homegoods, picking out wooden puzzles. Their toy section is really great--lots of Melissa and Doug products. Then I headed to Books a Million and stocked up on a dozen or so books. I couldn't help but throw in some of my childhood favorites, like The Boxcar Children and A Little Princess.

(3) Toy Drive - Our local organization that works with foster children hosted a toy drive. While buying presents for my nieces, I picked up a fun Transformer toy that I hope a little boy will love!!

The Holidays are a wonderful time to rejoice in family and friends. However, if you have an opportunity to bring some joy to someone outside of that circle, do it! Suburban Princess's list is a great resource for ideas!

eShakti review/OOTD

2011-11-22T15:03:00.000-08:00

I was contacted by Jennifer at eShakti to review an item from their collection. Initially, I thought I would select a dress, as I had seen so many lovely dresses on fellow bloggers Kimberly and Gracie Beth. However, I’m particular when it comes to fabric. I do not like 100% cotton dresses as my body shape needs a little stretch in all the right places. At the time I was searching, it seemed there were a lot of cotton dresses. I evaluated my closet and determined a skirt would be a better choice as I really had enough dresses. After much deliberation, I selected the Bows and Whistles skirt (no longer available). I had the choice of ordering a standard size versus a custom size. In addition, there was an opportunity to pick the length of the skirt to be at or above the knee, taking my height into consideration. I opted for the standard size with a length of above the knee.

Overall I am pleased with this skirt. The waist is higher than my natural waist, which I wasn’t expecting, but it works for the style of the skirt. Here are my pluses and minuses:

Pluses

Fully lined skirt

Nice cotton sateen fabric

Thick waistband

Correct length

Minuses

Cheap zipper – Got stuck a couple of times!

As for the rest of my outfit:

Cardi: Lands End Canvas
Shirt: Ann Taylor Loft
Earrings: Stella and Dot
Shoes: Antonio Melani, Dillard's Clearance Center

I recommend you give eShakti a chance next time you are seeking a new skirt or dress. For those of you who are vertically challenged, it is great to have the opportunity to indicate the length of the skirt or dress! I hate taking my dresses and skirts to be altered. With eShakti, they take care of this for you!

Disclaimer:I received this product for free for review from eShakti. I was not compensated in any other way.

Sunday Uniform

2011-11-11T09:16:00.000-08:00

I picked up this sweater when we were in Baltimore. There is an H&M in the Inner Harbor. We went right when they opened, so it was empty! I've never shopped at H&M unless there have been 1000 people pushing me around. It was amazing. This sweater was 24.95 AND it was Buy One, Get One Free! So I also picked up a cream version of the sweater.

Sweater: H&M

Leggings: Target

Boots: Roaman's

Also, I picked up these gift bow earrings at my local Kate Spade outlet. They are so cute and cheap! After tax, they came to $13!! I plan to wear as much as I can in December.

2011-10-06T13:37:00.000-07:00

My camera is on the decline. I'm going to hope that J can work some magic on it. I'll try to get my OOTD's on my cell phone camera. Otherwise, it's an unplanned break for me. :(

Recap: OOTD's from Chicago

2011-10-05T18:38:00.001-07:00

I'm back from Chicago! We had a wonderful vacation filled with seeing old friends, eating tasty food and enjoying my second home! I managed to convince J to take a few of my OOTD's. I missed a cute outfit from last night's dinner, but I'm sure I'll repeat it soon enough!

From the top left, counterclockwise:

(1) Cardi: F21; Scarf/Top/Jeggings: Target; Boots: Brown Suede, Comfortview, Roaman's

(2) Top/Leggings: Target; Boots: Brown Suede, Comfortview, Roaman's

I managed to pick up some items while on vacation. I stocked up on my favorite teams' shirts!

I also got J's Christmas present to me a litttttllllle early.

October!

2011-09-30T18:44:00.000-07:00

Seeing Zac Brown Band in concert!

Welcome October! I've been waiting for you!

When it rains...

2011-09-08T19:00:00.000-07:00

it pours? I had such good luck with the brown boots. So I searched again for a pair of black boots. They arrived tomorrow. I'm cautiously hopeful!! The pic is of the tan boots, but I ordered them in black.

Wish me luck!!!

Uh...yes, I know I totally fell off the "no shopping ban". However I returned both shoes and the blazer from a few weeks ago! Promise!!

We have a winner!!

2011-09-01T03:49:00.000-07:00

Ding ding ding! I finally had an online purchase work out! I received the boots that I ordered after the first pair didn't work out. They FIT! I ordered an 8W and it worked out great! Here is a picture...

Blazer fail

2011-08-24T15:25:00.000-07:00

I got my Lands End Blazer today. It was about 3 inches too big in the stomach area. While I COULD get a smaller size, I'm not going to. The blazer is a lot heavier in weight than I anticipated. It wouldn't get much use here in Florida. I was buying it for a climate where I don't live! So back it goes. So I've negated almost all my shopping damage, yes? :)

Uh, yeah. Because I totally fell off the wagon today. I stopped at the outlet mall. I picked up a skirt at the Ann Taylor outlet for $18.34. I love the simple cut and the plum/grey color combo.

I picture wearing it now with a crisp white button down and black peep toe pumps. Later this year, I see it with a black or plum sweater, black tights and black snakeskin wedges.

Yes? No? Let me have it, girls!

Update on the new shoes...

2011-08-23T16:09:00.001-07:00

Well, I got my 6pm.com order yesterday! Unfortunately, both pairs are going back. The Bass shoes were too big. The Boots fit great in the calf, which was my biggest concern. However, they were too tight in the foot. My correct sizes were not available in either shoes, so I guess it wasn't meant to be.

I did order these and used a coupon code to get another 25% off! Let's hope they work out.

Find them here.

I think September needs to be a no-shopping month...

2011-08-21T06:55:00.000-07:00

I've gone a little crazy with the shopping lately :(. In preparing for this blogpost, I realized I need to cut myself off for the remainder of August and all of September. Once you see what I've been buying, you will see why...

From Lands End, purchased when their sale items were an additional 30% off. I had a heck of a time trying to add the picture from the Lands End website, so this is the best I could find. I purchased the blazer in Navy.

From 6pm.com, I purchased a pair of Bass loafers and a pair of knee high boots. I have had a struggle with boots since I have big calves. These are wide calf boots, so fingers crossed! I measured my calves and everything, so I'm hopeful these will work out.

I checked the price of these loafers. When I bought them, they were $27. The price has gone back up to $41? Strange!?

I thought I was done. Not so much.

I went to my first Stella & Dot Trunk Show yesterday. I always thought their products were cute online, but I wasn't blown away. However after seeing them in person and being able to try stuff on?? I was hooked :/ These lovely earrings will be making their way to me in a week or so..

Cute, yes?

But it is time, no more shopping till our trip to Chicago at the beginning of October. Help me, readers! Keep me accountable!!!

Come along with me on a shopping spree!

2011-08-11T15:36:00.001-07:00

I have been having incredibly bad luck at my beloved Dillard's Clearance Center. However, I was passing by today and decided to give them another shot. I'm so glad I did! Here is what I tried on...

The pink dress, the red flowery dress and the green dress are all Jessica Howard. The blue and white one with the halter esque neckline is by Antonio Melani. The navy blue polka dot dress is by Robbie Bee. With the exception of the Antonio Melani dress, all of the dresses were originally $80 and marked down to $28 each!!! The Antonio Melani dress was regularly $120 (I think) and was marked down to $51.

Which one did I buy? All of them? None of them??

Okay, I'm not good at suspense! I got the red flowery dress with the ruffle neckline, the green dress and the navy polka dot dress! I need to have them all shortened, but otherwise, I am very satisfied! Thanks Dillard's Clearance Center for renewing my faith in you:)

P.S. I did say something to the sales clerk regarding the poor selection as of late. She disclosed that they had not had a delivery in 2.5 months! They JUST got this shipment in a day or so ago. Whooo!!

Sorry for the blurry picture! I could not get it right this morning.

Dress/Cardi: Ann Taylor Loft
Shoes: Jessica Simpson, via TJ Maxx
Necklace: Gift from Tricia

A month or so ago, I saw what looked to be an identical dress in purple at the Loft Outlet. Seeing as I love this dress, I eagerly grabbed it and headed to the dressing room. Upon further inspection, I noticed two major things:

(1) No lining. This dress is linen and my original dress has a lining.
(2) No piping detail at the hem and neckline. The piping really gives it a finished look.

So I didn't get the dress and really realized how some of the outlet clothes cheapen their items for the sake of the bargain. Now I've gotten some great items from the outlet mall. However, I'm really starting to notice these details. How about you? Have you ever noticed this at your favorite brand's outlet?

Recent Purchases

2011-07-04T14:48:00.000-07:00

I've been striking out at my usual shopping places (TJ Maxx, Ross, Dillards Clearance Center). I had read some tweets about the salae at Dillard's (30% off all clearance prices). I knew I wouldn't have an opportunity to get out to my brick and mortar Dillards. Luckily, there were great deals to be had on Dillards website. The silver shoes are Antonio Melani. The dress is Cremeiux . I’ve never worn this brand so I’m a little nervous about the fit.

On Saturday, I passed by Talbots while en route to my in-laws. The Red Hangar sale was going on. This is the best time of year to stock up on Talbots. Their regular prices are beyond my reach, so the extra 40% off makes the items more attainable. I already wore the navy eyelet shorts to a cookout yesterday! I also signed up for their rewards card (no fee) so I could get an extra 10% off! The total for the 3 items was a shade over $60. Score!

J and I have just been hanging out today. Back to work tomorrow. Hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day!

Unintentional Hiatus and OOTD from 6.27

2011-06-29T15:31:00.000-07:00

We've spent the past nine days house sitting for my in-laws and their dog. I wasn't taking any OOTD pics hence no blog posts. We're back home now and I hope to get into the swing of things again! Here are some pics from the past couple of weeks.

One of my best friends came to visit me from Chicago. Here is our view from one of the fun beachside bars in my town!

I had a tweet-up with some friends last Saturday. Two of them are girls I've met before. One of them was someone I was meeting for the first time. We laughed A LOT during this lunch!! It was loads of fun!

OOTD from 6.27

I bet you are shocked! I never wear suits! I had an interview for a promotion at work. I love what I do now so I will be okay not to get it :) Also please excuse all the bags...J and I cleaned our closet! We've got a bunch of bags to take to Goodwill.

2011-06-15T15:38:00.000-07:00

I stopped by Ross recently and picked up this cute little dress. I like that it has sleeves as it eliminates the need for a cardigan in the office. Also you'll notice I'm wearing very casual sandals. I hurt my big toe over Memorial Day Weekend. Luckily it was just bruised and sore--nothing was broken! However, wearing regular shoes hurts. I'm hoping it will be better next week as I miss my shoes!! Wearing flip flops and casual sandals to work has been fun, but it's time to get back into a normal shoe before I forget how to walk in them!

Dress: Ross ($14.99!!)
Sandals: Ross (from last summer)

Discount Store Feature: TJ Maxx

2011-06-01T16:46:00.001-07:00

I've only been shopping at TJ Maxx regularly in the past 2 years. I changed jobs around that time. Down the street from my office was a TJ Maxx! That coupled with a 1 hour lunch break made for lots of lunchtime shopping. There are times I walk into TJ Maxx and walk out within minutes. Maybe I didn't see anything that jumped out at me? More likely, I didn't have the patience to look!

I have found a little bit of everything at TJ Maxx. I've bought household decor, bedsheets, baby gifts, clothes, shoes and more. In my experience, TJ Maxx excels the most in the shoe and paper goods section. For paper goods, I've purchased Lilly Pulitzer stationery, Barefoot Contessa cookbooks, Martha Stewart crafting supplies, giftbags, wrapping paper, etc etc. One of my favorite finds in the papergoods area were these Lilly Placecards:

Well, don't think I'm going to mention shoes without posting some picture?! Here is a shot of some of my favorite finds from TJ Maxx!

My Ross Dress for Less post brought out some 1st time commenters! Thanks for reading! I would love to hear about some of your great TJ Maxx finds!

Discount Store Feature: Ross Dress for Less

2011-05-31T16:40:00.000-07:00

My love affair with Ross began when I was a freshman in college. I would go to Ross to purchase babydoll tees with cartoon characters on them. Don't judge, it was the mid 1990's, after all! When I moved back to Jacksonville, we didn't have any Ross locations nearby. I never saw them in Chicago either. Luckily, we finally got our own locations! So my love affair was reignited.

I've bought all sorts of items at Ross. From kitchen supplies to pillowcases to shoes, Ross has a little bit of everything. However, I think they really shine in their dress department. I've seen everything from Maggy London to Calvin Klein. I've also discovered many department store brands like In Studio, Tiana B and more. The prices are typically between $14.99 to $39.99, however I must admit that you'll find me more in the $14.99 range.

I pulled together some of my favorite dress finds from Ross. These aren't all of them! I have a wonderful black and white Calvin Klein dress that I wore to a wedding last month. I didn't take a good picture though.

I know that Sarah at Classroom Chic and Taylor of It's My Cardi share my love of Ross. What about you?

Splurge vs. Steal

2011-05-19T18:39:00.000-07:00

The Tory Burch Thora's are very cute. I've heard they aren't too comfortable though. So when I found a "steal" pair at TJ Maxx that were actually comfy? I had to snatch them up! The rubber sole was critical to the comfy factor!

Tory Burch Thoras: $115

Report, TJ Maxx: $20

What do you think?

I pulled a muscle in my back this weekend. So when it came time to pick out Monday's outfit, I had two requirements. (1) Flat shoes and (2) I didn't have to shave my legs. So with that in mind, I suppose this outfit is a score :)

Cardi: Ann Taylot Loft
Tank: Lauren, Ralph Lauren via Dillard's Clearance Center (I also bought it in pink!)
Pants/Watch: NY&Co
Shoes: Bandolino
Necklace: Premier

I really liked J's outfit today. Honestly, I always like his outfits! I just forget to take a picture. He bought these Brooks Brothers pants this past weekend, at 25% off! He's really become fond of BB, especially the slim fit button-downs and pants.

2011-05-05T14:46:00.000-07:00

I have a love/hate relationship with this dress. I love the light fabric and print. However, it accentuates my unfavorite part of my body (stomach), so I know I should donate it. Usually I can let go of clothes pretty easily, but I can't with this dress for some reason. I'm working on it!

And I'm back!

I didn't plan to be a walking Talbots ad today, but here I am!

Top/Skirt: Talbots
Cardi: Merona, Target
Shoes: Naturalizer
Bracelet: Premier
Watch: NY&Co

Rewind to a few years ago. If you had told me I would be wearing Talbots clothes and Naturalizer shoes, I would have been aghast. However, I'm enjoying the "modernization" of these two previously stodgy brands. Allie of Wardrobe Oxygen just posted about her most recent Talbots experience. Her skirt is especially lovely!

P.S. After I saw this picture this morning, I immediately went to flat iron my hair. YIKES.

Calypso for Target

2011-05-01T14:13:00.001-07:00

I checked out the Calypso line from Target. The only thing I really liked was the below dress.

I like the pockets and the fact that was lined. (Correction--it is not lined, but the fabric has a good weight to it) I think it will work well for work.

I've been really into turquiose/teal lately. Like this bracelet I just got...

I think I have a problem. Perhaps a turquoise/teal shopping ban would help?

Absence

2011-04-30T06:42:00.000-07:00

I apologize for being MIA this week. Work has really been crazy and I have been feeling uninspired. I've also not been tweeting as much (shocker). However, I want to give my few readers a little gift.

You are welcome.

J and I went with another couple to St. Augustine for dinner on Saturday. Our friends' parents and friends were docked at the marina so we enjoyed Happy Hour on their sailboat! After dinner, we went to their friends' boat for more fun. It was a gorgeous night and really makes me want to own a boat :)

I wish I would have packed my flip flops as getting on a sailboat in wedges is a tad difficult :/

Here is my OOTN from Saturday!

Scenes from our Saturday!

Shopping Fun!

2011-04-21T17:09:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to share some fun purchases I've made in the past month!

I love the blog Fashion for the Economically Challenged. She has a pair of adorable pewter Me Too Flats. Every time she wears, I would find myself stalking the internet and my trifecta (Ross, Marshalls and TJ Maxx) to find a comparable pair. So when I stumbled on these shoes at the Dillard's Clearance Center, it was instant love. Best part? They were only $14.00!!

I attended a friend's Premier Jewelry party. It's hard not to leave without ordering a bauble or two. I don't remember exactly how much the earrings were because I actually ordered them a month ago!

I've really been into bracelets lately, When I spied the above bangles at their reasonable price point, I grabbed them up immediately!

I picked up this dress on sale at Belk's. The brand is New Directions, which I am assuming is an in-store brand. I loved the print and the cut. I felt instantly put together when I tried this on! It was 30% off and I think I paid just at $40.

Don't think I forgot J when I was out and about! I picked up this awesome Mario Batali Pizza pan at the Dillard's clearance center today. It was normally around $70 and I purchased it for $20! The box was pretty beat up, but the pan was still in its plastic in perfect condition!

Have you bought anything fun lately?

As you can see, I am a bit behind! Rather than 3 individual posts, I decided that this was another good way to use the collage feature on Picasa (if you haven't figured out, I'm OBSESSED!) I Wish I could tell you what happened to my Wednesday OOTD. I think I was pretty sleepy when I left the house, so I didn't realize I forgot until much later in the day.

This dress is feeling kinda big up top! Either I stretched it out or those 5 lbs I've loss have come out of my top half (I really can't spare to lose any there LOL).

However, I think I'll try to shrink it in the dryer. I just bought this! I can't give it up yet!! I also have plans to shrink the cardi in hopes that it shortens up a few inches. Wishful thinking?

I can't believe I'm not wearing a cardi!!!!

The weekend

2011-04-11T18:11:00.000-07:00

J and I had a pretty busy weekend. He was a groomsman in the wedding of our close friends on Saturday. I also had a baby shower to attend before the wedding! Luckily this is the last crazy weekend for a while. I didn't take an OOTD photo today, but I do have a picture from the weekend festivities!

I did not take a full length picture of the dress, but I found a picture online:

This outfit is all about Spring!

Cardi: Merona, Target
Shirt: Ann Taylor Loft
Skirt: J Crew, via consignment store
Shoes: Naturalizer
Necklace: Purchased at The Finicky Filly, Charleston, SC
Earrings: Stein Mart
Watch: NY&Co
Bangle: Premier
Bracelet: Gifted

However after I got to work, I felt like something was missing. First off, the cardigan is a little too long. A wash and dry should take care of that. When I asked my co-worker if she thought anything could be added, she recommended a belt. When I got home, I decided to try out a couple of looks. Since I'm somewhat new to the belting world, I need your help. Do you like any of the looks below? Should I scrap attempting the belt? Your help is appreciated!

Bonanno's or Barefoot!

2011-04-06T15:47:00.000-07:00

My friend Tricia , her adorable son, S and I took a little road trip to Stuart, FL today. Why, you are asking, would be trek over 3.5 hours to Stuart for in the middle of the week? To get fitted for our first pair of Stephen Bonanno's!

As you can see from the top of the picture, it was a beautiful and sunny day!

We visited their boutique/factory location in Stuart. Since Bonanno's are custom made to order, we did not want to "guess" our size, only to find ourselves with the wrong one! While on a girl's trip to Charleston in January, we decided we would make the trip to Stuart. We saved our pennies and off we went!

The store and factory are located in an industrial park-ish just off Interstate 95. The store is very tiny, but well organized with sample shoes lining numerous shelves. I meant to take a picture, but I was so excited that I forgot! :/ It was great to see the shoes in person. The colors and leather are best seen in person, rather than via computer screen! The leather is kidskin leather and so soft and amazing!

Melanie (Mel) helped us figure out orders. First she helped us with the bottom (sole) size. Then we moved onto the top sandal size. I have challenged (i.e. CHUBBY) feet, so I knew a standard 7.5 all the way around would not work for me. Ends up that I am a 7 on the bottom and a 9 on the top!

We then picked out what styles we wanted. Originally, I wanted to order Emma's. In the past few weeks, however, I thought about ordering the Palm Beach Classic sandals. I tried on both styles in the store and I'm sure glad I did. I did not like the way the Palm Beach Classics looked on my feet! The Emmas were still cute, but not quite right for me. I ended up falling in love with the Tatianas. Here is a stealth cell phone picture I took of the shoe:

We selected our colors next. Mel brought out leather samples as well as color combo samples (pairings such as white/navy, pink/green etc), so we could see how the colors coordinate. After much deliberation and discussion, I selected the platinum sandals with gold whipstitch and gold monogram. I will not spoil what Tricia ordered as she may want to blog about it! :)

Mel was extremely patient and friendly as we peppered her with questions about fit and color. She really wanted to make sure the fit was perfect! We did not feel rushed at all and she really took the time to take care of us! She even let us get a sneak peak at three sandals that Stephen Bonanno designed for the Palm Beach 100th Anniversary. Not wanting to spoil it, let's just say Swavorski crystals were involved on one of them!

As we were paying out, she called Stephen Bonanno (!!!) himself in introduce us! He was just wonderful and thanked us for coming down from Jacksonville. Mel and Stephen were both incredibly gracious and thanked us for thinking of their company!

It was really a special experience to visit Stephen Bonanno Sandals. The service they provide and the product is top notch! We will get our sandals in 4-6 weeks, just in time for summer! Can't wait to share them with you on here!

Today is the first time I'm wearing this necklace. I bought this necklace last year and never really found the right outfit to wear it with. I'm glad I hung onto it instead of donating it to Goodwill--I love it with this dress!
