spring rewards are HERE!

I happily came home this afternoon to my spring rewards card from j.crew! GLEEE!!!

It’s been awhile since I’ve been to the store. The high waisted shorts pictured above are certainly a new fashion piece for 2011, but I think I am more partial to the fun orange skirt. It’s more me for sure. I wonder what will strike my fancy when I skitter over there to claim my prize. I can’t even wait to find out!

stripes!

Stripes, stripes, and more stripes! Loving all the styles, each found at j.crew!

Love this scarf too! Stripes aplenty, stripes galore.

Today is the start of the weekend factory sale online– hit it up! I wonder if they will have any stripes?!

shoe accessories oh so lovely…

Today, I am ever so pleased to bring you the most adorable shoe accessories ever created.

Buttercream shoe clips.

Rolls nicely off the tongue doesn’t it? When I see things like this, such simple, beautiful add ons to everyday wears, I think, why the heck couldn’t I think of that? But alas, someone else has come up with the idea first, and most definitely has done a better job than I ever could have as far as design and creation, so here I am just a middle (wo)man, bringing them to you.

They are truly precious, and can make any currently owned shoe twice, maybe even three times more adorable than before. Plus, you can switch them from shoe to shoe, giving you so many different options with so many different outfits!

Find these fabulous shoe clips and more at Magpie Lovely. Handmade goods made by independent artists. Everything is so one-of-a-kind and so thoughtfully made!

sundance…

Here is some really nice jewelry I found at Sundance, a kind of earthy clothing and jewelry company whose catalog graces my mailbox every so often. My mom has given me some really nice earrings and necklaces from Sundance for my birthday and Christmas and I often get many compliments!

I prefer the jewelry to the clothes, only because the clothing has more of a rustic, flowy, country look, that is not particularly “me”. The jewelry is really beautiful, and I often find pieces I really like while flipping through the catalog pages.  It’s a great place to buy a nice gift for someone, as their jewelry is unique and special.

Check it out online and see if there’s anything for you or someone you love!
