Espadrilles for Less

These are the shoes Jennifer Aniston was wearing last spring in almost every picture taken of her. She must have loved them.  I hear they are really comfortable too. Which one would you buy?






Stuart Weitzman $365.00

  Steve Madden  $69.95

Guess which ones I ordered? They come in black too. At this price why not order both?

Mens and Womens Clothing | AllSaints Clothing Store
We just got back from visiting colleges in Rhode Island and Boston and had a free day to browse around Boston Friday. Amanda, Steve and I were walking down Newberry Street when we came upon this store with hundreds of antique sewing machines in the window and we could not resist going inside. Well we were so glad we did. What a great store. It's hard to explain what it's like because there is nothing like it in Baltimore. It's got mens and womens clothes and accessories that have a style all their own and there is something for everyone. Amanda found a great looking printed swing top and I found the cutest little chain clutch. We spent so much time exploring in here and there were surprises around every corner. Just loooved everything... shoes, jewelry, clothes, jackets, everything. Coming to Georgetown soon but we will probably have to wait a while here in Baltimore. There are also two stores in New York.

Amanda is featured online as well as in the April/May Girl's Life Magazine's Spring Fashion Issue. How much fun is this outfit? She showed up at their offices on Valentine's Day to drop something off and they thought she looked so cute they shot her picture!

Sooo Sooo Comfy... Jeans?

"Anthropologie's AG Stevie"

Do you ever wish you had a pair of jeans that felt so soft and comfy you felt like you were wearing your favorite PJs? Well, AG jeans has made your wish come true. They have designed a pair of jeans that are soft to the touch, stretchy, dark and great looking. They fit snug but do not look like they are cutting off your circulation and they move and stretch when you do plus they are not cut so low in the back that every time you sit down your unmentionables show. They are called The Stevie slim straight and they come in two washes.  I may have to go back and get the other one because I will be wearing these everyday. Go try a pair on and tell me what you think. 

Note.. the inseam on these was 31".. I am 5"7 and they were perfect for me if you are vertically challenged.. Saks has a similar pair called the Stilt cigarette jean that have a 30" inseam.

Hi everyone!

Sorry i haven't posted in a while... but i have been so busy with preseason field hockey and getting ready for school that shopping (unfortunately) has had to take a back-seat for a while. But, i just got my license last week!!! .. so now i can shop whenever it is convenient to me! So i went to the Towson Town mall the other day, and to my surprise, J.Crew (one of my faves) is now an ALL WOMEN'S store!! There is no more men's section which means tons more merchandise to check out. I bought a few cute tees for fall, like this one which comes in a ton of cute colors. There was also a whole wall of sale clothing just waiting to be bought. So check it out!

Off to shop! (really, i am)

Amanda

Down the Ocean, Hon.

We just got back from our yearly trip to Bethany Beach, Delaware. It was a stellar week as far as the weather goes.. low humidity, sunny skies and the waves were quite calm.  Therefore many hours were spent oceanside reading...I read three books last week. The first one I have to mention is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Steve and I both were captivated by this book and could not put it down. We each read it in a day. Steve is now on the third installment in the series.. there will not be another one because unfortunately the Danish author Stieg Larsson passed away suddenly at the young age of 50 after writing the third book. Another good beach read... that is not as popular "One Day" about a 20 year relationship between two people that meet one day after graduation from college and spend 24 hours together and then go their separate ways but keep in touch with letters and phone calls and visits. Every chapter in the book starts with July 15 of a different year and what is happening in their lives on that day. It made me laugh out loud and cry and I could not put it down.

We had to have cocktail hour on the beach and what better way to cool off than a margarita on ice. But not just any margarita, we had skinny girl margaritas. They were delicious and only 100 calories. I brought three bottles with me from home. Which, I had to search far and wide for. They are sold out almost everywhere. Beltway Liquors had a few cases there last week.. I hope they still have more because I have company coming this weekend. 


We always have a girls day out midweek, with my mother, Sandy, my sister, Adele and Amanda and her friend, Payton. We go to lunch in Rehobeth Delaware and then to the outlets there. Mom loves The Ralph Lauren Outlet and Amanda, Adele, Payton and I go to J.Crew. This year they had some great tee shirts and cordoroy jeans on sale. I also found an adorable black and white leopard print cotton blouse and a cotton jersey boyfriend jacket in black. Amanda and Payton found neon colored skinny flower belts on sale that were a steal. Payton found a great little jersey print one shoulder dress at BCBG that she wore that night out for sushi. 

We stopped on the way back at Prime Outlets to see if there was anything we missed and I found a great little wallet to fit in my smaller purses that was 50% off the discounted price and we were given a 20% off coupon when we entered the store!  And Amanda got an adorable "poppy" wristlet in gold with the same discounts.  Steve.. who never buys himself anything bought a new credit card holder. Everything was so reasonably priced it was hard not to find something. Under Armour outlet is there as well and they had some great pieces that you never see discounted anywhere. So check it out.  


Gotta go shopping.
