Do It In Denim

Ok...take away the ridiculous boots, but keep everything else and you've the making of a keeper of an outfit!


...who really chose these boots??

I am in love with this Button Down Denim dress from Forever21.  



It's a nice little nod to 70's with it's choice of color, button front and front bodice detail and length.  I've been holding out on this post for a day or so and I've watched the reviews on this dress go from 2 to almost 5 stars.   

It's on my list.   I know where I'm going this weekend.

$27.90

Rag & Bone vs Everyone

Well...if they say "imitation is the best form of flattery"
                                                                   Rag & Bone must really be feeling the love.....

Their Talia v-neck sweater has been imitated SO many times it is ridiculous!


It is a great sweater I must say,  and I'll admit I'm actually wearing a knock off version of it by Derek Heart I picked up for 8 bucks at Rue21 as I write this post.  Although I do feel some type of way about knocking off designer pieces, in reality we all can't afford R&B prices.



Excuse the tired expression.  I working with a stiff neck here...

So while browsing around on Asos.com  I wasn't too surprised coming  across this.


This is Vero Moda's Varsity Style Long Line Sweater.  I will admit...I do like it just a tad more than the R&B despite the absence of the deep V neckline which I'm quite fond of.  
I like the length, added stripes on the hem and that it's 100% cotton.   I also like the price.  $47.38

,,,,,what an odd price.....

Give Me Lots O Sweaters! Thick Nordic Warm Sweaters!!

I'm a sweater junkie.  I have a lot.  Not a ridiculous number that's just unmanageable, but perhaps too many to pull out every winter.   Lately I've been all about quality 80's style sweaters from the thrifts.  I don't care how much I look like I just stepped out of "She's One of the Guys" ....one of my favorite 80's movies btw.

Anthropologie's offering this beautiful Barnegat Pullover by Knitted and Knotted for $98

While Ralph Lauren is giving away this Snowflake and Reindeer sweater dropped from $298 to $94!

The Red White & Blue

And this is how I like to celebrate it!



Slide 1

For some reason I am seriously on an American flag print theme.  I want anything that shows my country pride.  This I got this American Fringe bikini on CrowdSavings.com from $18.00 down to $16.04 with a 10% off coupon.  If that ain't a 4th of July steal..I don't know what is.

Anchors Away..Done Up



So I bought it!


The Ocean Water dress from Great Glam.


It's really not as sheer as it appears on the website but it is a lot more tight than I thought it would be.  I do prefer something with a little more give but all in all this was a great buy.

(sorry for the blurries..I just couldn't get my camera to take anything decent this day)

Anchors Away

                                                  This is where I'm living this summer..



This is the Ocean Water dress at GreatGlam.com...and I do apologize for the tiny shot. 
I literally just purchased this dress as I write this post (Grant it I did stare at the web page for about 5 days before really deciding..but whatev.)


I usually make my own dress to prance around in in the summer ..and tho I did make a brown and white striped on similar to this..mine doesn't have the nifty hood.  I too enjoy how this is somewhat sheer making it still a practical choice for the shore (the youngin's in NJ trot around our beaches in very little clothing).

So yes..at 28.80 I will be calling this dress my place of residence for summer 2014

A Paler Pink

You see this blouse here....


..It's only $13.80 from Forever21...and I'm about to be all over it!!!



I'm not necessarily a fan of pink but I really like the subtleness of this color. I mean you can't beat the price but kudos for versatility as well.  This is a future addition.

To Mint or not to Mint.

            There's ShoeMint, there's HomeMint, there's even IntiMint all brought to us by BeachMint. The "Next Generation Social Commerce Company".  I'll admit.. I was a fan originally.  I loved and raved about JewelMint when it first arrived on the scene. (Remember my "Bling Bling" post a couple years ago...http://126king.blogspot.com/2011/11/bling-bling.html  .)
Currently however,  I gotta rant about them.   I've actually been ranting about them to myself for about a year now planning to cancel my membership but never really getting around to it.  Seriously tho, why do you have to call to cancel your JewelMint membership but not for any of the others???

           First of all, I hardly EVER like anything they add to my showroom anymore.  I almost feel like I should take the "style" quiz again and pray for better results.  Some of the other pieces available on the site are quite nice like these Open Arrow Rings.

Then again one of the comments left by a customer states that the rings look cheap.  And I can agree with her there being my very first purchase from JM back in 2011 was this In The Rough ring,  


 which has faded on the band after only a few wears. But what can you really expect from jewelry for only $29.00

I did recently purchase their Lady Luxe Cuff in black and I do love it, 


however my main reason for buying it was because I wasn't able to "Skip the Month" in time before they charged me.  In the beginning you had until the 7th of each to officially skip it.  Now you only have until the 5th and let me tell you... when you're already running around worried about other things you forget to "skip" you're month.  It really sucks.  They got me about 3 times with this so far, and I couldn't even use my credit to buy this cuff because I it was on sale, which I didn't know either and wondered why my account said I still had 1 credit until I saw my Amex bill.  Did I mention you can't use your credits to purchase any Collective pieces either... Even if they're priced UNDER the $29.00 credit you receive???  Yea... I don't get that..


All in all they have a decent product especially if you're buying from their Collective brand.  It's the service that's a little irritating to me.  Very "Do this, but don't do that"...a lil bit of a pain in the ass if you ask me.

A Lil' Bit-O-Leather

Huh....hhhhhmmmm   ...  Do we like these?


For $596.00 I guess you better be pretty damn sure you do.
Alice + Olivia Leather Zip Crop Leggings at Bloomingdales.com  ...something about leather CROP leggings.  I mean..they are quite nice..yes..  but how do you wear them without looking like you belong in The Pink Ladies, or sitting on the couch next to Peg Bundy?? ....Ah..nothing a lil sexy Betty Jackson Studded Ankle Boot can't fix!

...aaahhh  understood.

Oh Ombre!

..well I guess they're not REALLY ombre more than they're just two-toned.  WHATEVER! I don't really where shorts...in public...too much...unless they were made my me.....but these!!


I may just have to slip into these babies this summer. Mossimo Supply Co. Junior Dip Dye Denim short obviously from Target.  I really really like these.  Even when I saw them in the ad I wanted to go grab them that day forgetting the sale starts Sunday... not the day I get the sale ad.  They're $19.99 regularly but if I'm quick enough..I'm gonna grab them for $15.00.   So cute!
