Etsy: Buy Handmade!
September 10, 2009
So my Friend told me about this great website where you can buy handmade jewelry and other things handmade/vintage. It’s Etsy: your place to buy and sell all things handmade. She bought our fabulous bridesmaid necklaces from here (which I ADORE) and I know she has also had luck with other purchases she has made. I’ve been browsing the website for awhile tonight and so far I love everything I see! I particularly love this yarn flower headband, super fun and like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It’s so unique I just love it, which is like most items on Etsy… so many awesome handmade treasures at low prices– so check it out!
j.crew sale!
August 26, 2009
Browsing through the sale section on the j.crew website today I came across these a-dorable items:
I have always loved this little “Frenchie Slicker”. Just couldn’t get any cuter!
How precious is this clutch? LOVE!!
This shirt is simple, but the flower on the collar just adds a little touch that is so classic. I can just picture it with my dark trouser jeans. A-mazing.

Today I purchased my first one-piece swim-suit since the 8th grade. It’s super adorable and from j.crew: 2 things I require for most of my wardrobe. I decided to get the suit because it was on super-sale on the j.crew website. Awesome! Now, I have been wanting to get a one-piece for some time now, I could just never find the right one. I went last year with Hannah and Ali to try some on at L.L.Bean and boy was that a disaster. To put things simply I looked like I was twelve and wearing my old ballet leotard. I thought black would be slimming and flattering, right? Wrong. So after that experience I gave up on the whole one-piece idea for awhile, until my mom offered to buy me and my sister each a suit for the summer. I looked on the website for one I liked, but could not make up my mind. Plus this was pre-summer and all of the suits were close to one-hundo dollars. For serious. I could not bring myself to buy something I will only wear 3 months out of the year (only on the weekends plus that one luscious week in CC) for such a steep price. So up until now I have been making do with my last years suit, which is fantastic by the way (also j.crew), but I’ve still been yearning for that cute one-piece I’ve had in the back of my mind ever since they came back into style. Well, today I was randomly browsing jcrew.com when I came across this suit:
Isn’t is great? I just hope it looks as good in person as it does on the website. I just love the print. I think it will look great on and will minimize imperfections because the print is so busy. The top of the suit is a twist front, which is the same as my two-piece from last year and I love it. Plus I like the strap that you can put around your neck if you’d like. I can’t wait till it comes in the mail! It better fit/look good because I bought it on an impulse and it was final sale! Cross your fingers everyone… I’ll let you know the final verdict when it arrives!!!
