Gettin’ Tanked

April 19, 2011 by

  1. Forever 21, Embroidered Braided Strap Tank
  2. Forever 21, 100% Silk Polka Dot Tank

  2. Target, Mirrored Flops
  3. Forever 21, Striped Top

These Flops Were Made for Walking

April 14, 2011 by

I ran across these AUH-mazing flip flops at Target last week and I NEED to tell someone about them. And you are the winner. These are THE most comfortable things ever to go on my feet. I literally wanted to walk out of the store in them. I take a lot of walks, both for entertaining my kiddo and for exercise, and people always think I’m nuts because I walk in flip flops not real walking shoes. These are like walking flops, people. For reals.

(also in black, brown and zebra)

Just Call Me Dora

April 7, 2011 by

As in Fedora. I wore one last weekend while at the big antiques/craft show in Round Top, TX and Court called me Dora the whole day.  My sister, on the other hand, called me Pete Wentz. Not really sure where that came from, does he even wear fedoras?? Any ways, regardless of the nick names, I will continue to wear my fedora with pride. What about you?

  2. Forever 21, Ricky Woven Fedora
