ShoeMint May/April Haul
Wednesday, May 23, 2012
ShoeMint's offerings have become increasingly tempting. This spring I purchased two swoon-worthy styles: The Jill criss-cross wedge sandal in a vivid coral hue, and the Bridget sandal in leopard print.
The Jill has a 1 3/4" wedge and is ridiculously comfortable. I was very impressed with the comfort of this shoe, my only complaint is that the back zip does seem to stick and takes some patience to get on and off.
The Bridget has a 1 1/2" wedge. I tend to flock to flat scrappy sandals, but I find them to be rather uncomfortable. The Bridget gives enough of a height boost to avoid the pains that come with wearing completely flat sandals.
Both styles have been very popular on the site, but in the past they have brought back past styles and colors, so it is always smart to keep checking back for additional stock in your size. 1 Comment »
Top Ten: Printed Shorts
Tuesday, May 22, 2012
Memorial Day is widely recognized as the kick off to summer. With pleasant weather in store for us, printed shorts may just be in the cards. They are the perfect excuse to show off your tan & toned gams! I mean, why else would I be suffering through my bazillion lunges? If you need some help in the bronzing department, I highly recommend Michael Kors' Leg Shine. Not only does it smell terrific, but it also gives your legs a flattering bronzed shine! Check out my top ten picks for graphic shorts below:

Nautica Color Series Watches: Perfect for Summer
Thursday, May 10, 2012
Summer is undoubtedly my favorite season. Beginning in January the countdown for summer is in full swing. When resort-wear starts making its way into stores, and I am bundled up in my massive loop scarf I find it to be a natural reaction! Last year I went on two warm weather vacations early in the year, so by contrast this spring has felt like chilly torture! I haven't really had the opportunity to enjoy my spring attire unless you consider striped boat-neck tees and Sperry's to be particularly exciting! I am longing for sunny days on the beach and bold colored accessories.

Last year, I purchased a bright colored plastic teal watch from Target, but admittedly it looks a bit juvenile. Nautica has released a new color series of unisex watches (NSR 100 Color Series) that capture the fun of summer without looking cheap or childish. The sporty watches come in a multitude of colors and are available for $95 each, and if you sign up for e-mails on Nautica's website you can get 20% off! It is time to get shopping! Add a comment »
