Slightly old pictures from coffee/lunch at the Barnes & Noble Starbucks and later attending a Wakey!Wakey! concert.  It was my very first concert (well, there was this orchestra that I went to earlier last year but I feel like that doesn't count), and it was really great.  Michael Grubbs and his violinist, Caitlin Moe, are really funny, and the whole atmosphere itself was fun.  Michael Grubbs is on One Tree Hill, one of my favorite shows of all times, and after he sang "Dance So Good," I fell in love.  I looked up the song and have been a fan of Wakey!Wakey! since.  I'm grateful for the opportunity to see Grubbs in concert, as well as meet him!  It was a great day!

Pictures from a little while ago...After spending hours managing volunteers and making sure our event was going as smoothly as possible, I took a walk on a pier nearby and enjoyed being done with work.  I love walks by the water on days with not a single cloud in the sky--bliss.

Swarovski earrings. Linea Pelle bracelets. Guess watch. CC Skye ring. Zigi Soho boots.



And apparently, the day was exhausting enough that I tried to sneak a nap in on the way home.  (We had a stop then, which is why my seatbelt isn't on.  Wear your seatbelt when you're driving, kids!)



(P.S. I warned you it wouldn't be the last you saw of the Zigi Soho boots!)

Yes, you've all seen these boots before; you saw them here, here, and here, but I feel like this won't be the last post you see with my Zigi Soho boots.  Truth is, I am madly in love with them.  Every girl should own a pair of boots as versatile as they are!  I can wear them casually with jeans or dress them up with skirts and dresses.  Most of the time though, I find myself usually pairing them up with some girly skirt or dress; it gives my outfit a nice edge and balances things out.

I have also been finding myself wearing my cross connector ring from Forever 21 pretty often. I first saw the ring on That's Chic, was really sad to see that it was sold out online, but then became miraculously fortunate enough to find it in a Forever 21 store (after scouring multiple stores)!  Forever 21 rings are absolutely great--not only are the designs unique and fun, but the prices are always such a bargain!  Forever 21 is also the only place I've noticed with a good selection of connector rings.  All the connector rings I've gotten, such as the ones seen here or here are from Forever 21.  Definitely check out their selection when you get the chance!

I've been meaning to buy a loom and learn to make something other than just scarves.  However, with summer here, I have plenty of time before I really need to start knitting again for cold weather.  Still, I love strolling the aisles of craft stores and admiring all the great yarns.  I tend to get immersed in all of the colors and textures.

I am test wearing my new Ed Hardy Sin City flats.  I had been devastated when they sold out of the flats at Nordstrom and Macy's, but thankfully, I found the flats here --and for an amazing deal!  They're not only insanely cute, pretty comfortable, but most of all, very versatile--traits I look for in shoes!

A late blog post, but these pictures are actually from Easter.  The cherry blossoms blooming, my bright pink dress, the little animal truffles I got from Moonstruck...all signs of Spring and Easter.

I have been in love with the Juicy Couture butterfly print stuff ever since they started coming out.  However, when I saw this dress on the runway for Barbie's 50th Anniversary Fashion Show, I had to have it. 

I checked Nordstrom the other day, and I'm really sad that they didn't have the butterfly print swimsuit/bikinis anymore.  However, I recently found and ordered another version of this dress so I think I will manage okay without the bikini.  The dress is actually supposed to be a swim coverup, but I will probably wear it as a normal dress.  I doubt anyone will try and stop me, and I don't think it'll be obvious anyway.

"And I remember every word you said."

Where I go.

My absolute favorite store to shop at is Nordstom Rack, essentially the cheaper equivalent of Nordstrom.

However, lately I've found myself doing a lot more shopping online.  As a bargain hunter for designer deals, I am in love with sampler sales.  Places I specifically recommend:

HauteLook
Beyond the Rack
Ideeli
Ruelala
Gilt


Enjoy!  :o)
