Rain Rain Go Away

It has been raining here for four days straight. Even though it is a part of Spring, this rain has been cold and windy and makes me want to just bundle up completely.

The rain does give me a chance to wear my new Hunter wellies. Funny story about those--I love rubber boots and I had latched on to the Hunters as something that looked timeless and classic while that "Hunter" brand had just a small element of style. I was cruising Zappos.com when I realized that they now make a Hunter "Huntress" style that is for wider calves. Since I usually take the Extended Calf in JCrew boots, and I wanted to tuck jeans in to the boots. I decided to give them a whirl.

So the box arrived, and they were great! Pine green color, and they fit around the jeans as I hoped. But I looked closer for the cool cute modern "HUNTER" logo, and I realized these wide calf Huntress boots were branded "HUNTRESS" on the front. Hmm I thought. Is this an advertisement for "Hey I have fat calves" or "Hi, my boots might be knockoffs" or "I like to traipse through the woods with a bow and arrow"? I realize this is total shallow thinking, I mean they are just rain boots to keep water out. But it did give me pause. In the end, I ended up keeping them because they are comfortable, protect my feet, and look cute! Love the green.


I may end up traipsing through the woods with some bow and arrows though if the occaision comes up...I have got the boots for it! :)

Whats your favorite rainy day outfit?

Deal of the Day: Target Merona Moccasins

I am really hard on my shoes. For some reason, I am always wearing heels down to the metal pegleg, or scuffing, or smudging, or dirtying, any pair of shows I own. I am "that girl" who gets her heel stuck in a crack in the sidewalk, trips out with bare foot hopping, and pulls the shoe out to reveal a tear in the leather on the heel (this happened last night). I don't know what it is, I just know that shoes will never remain pristine in my care.

Because of this, I never spend more than $100 on shoes--I just know I won't be able to do them justice of fine care. Its almost a game, what are the best shoes I can get for under $100.

Today I reached new heights in this goal when I received a box from Target with my $5 Pearl Cluster necklace (so cute) and the Merona Micaela Moccasin.

The Mocasins are HERE for $17.49 and they are so comfortable! Like a slipper. I am sure they will fall apart eventually but at least I will get my money's worth!

Here is a pic, excuse the ugly carpet at my office:

Martin + Osa Delivery

This evening I arrived home to a box from Martin + Osa. Of course this meant an immediate try-on session. I was excited cause I had ordered a mix of work and casual wear. I ordered the:

Campfire Fleece Hoodie:
Cute zip up fleece, I ordered this is a Medium and it fits great and is the perfect go to hoodie for after work.



Men's Tattersall Check Shirt:
I have this funny thing where every once in a while I think a men's shirt would be great to have. I took a chance and ordered this shirt in a Small because it was about $11 after discounts. I also ordered one for my husband haha, with the commitment to never wear them at the same time! I plan on wearing it with either a slim pencil skirt or breezy pants. Please excuse my goofy face, I was happy because I think this experiment just might work!





Stripe VNeck Cashmere Cardigan in Brown:
Again, I ordered this in a Medium and it fits slimly but in the way I like cardigans to fit--also has a longer length good for layering. Its a chocolate brown with a orange striping. Even though the colors are fall-y, I think this will be cute into spring. Wearing it here with my wide JCrew jeans belt.

Osa Boot Jean:
After so much talk about the Osa Straight jeans, I decided to try the Boot fit jeans as well, and the same size fit, the 30s for me. I usually wear 31 in Paige and my Citizen (wider leg flare), but for some reason the Osa cut fits me really well. I recommend these jeans!!




I also got a silk cami but no pics of that. The best part is with the sale prices and a promotion code, I got all the items for around $100. Considering the cardigan started at $170, I would say thats a good deal. Kind of ridiculous, but a good deal!

LOST Brain Buster of the Day...

Just read this on the message boards, I didn't notice it myself when I watched...

Doc, I can't believe you missed the biggest Easter Egg of all. That was Hurley's voice reciting The Numbers on the transmission Danielle's crew was following.

!!!!

When the Frenchies are on the beach right before they ask Jin about a radio tower, you can hear the numbers through the radio. If that is Hurley's voice doing it...well, I just, I ....

THIS SHOW IS AMAZING!

Spring is in the Air...

...and I am Dreaming of this:



Green grass, long summer shadows, and the crack of the bat! Pitchers and Catchers report today! That means Opening Day is just around the corner.

Of course, this has to equate to clothes somehow. My spring/summer "uniform"...




White jeans, navy sweater, trusty Rainbow flip flops and weathered belt, Starfish necklace, and my perfectly faded Sox hat.

Play Ball!

Quick Jeremy's Update

Just wanted to post an update that I visited Jeremy's last night, list in hand, and only found a few matches. If I haven't emailed you with good news, I am sorry I didn't find the shoes!

I have my list (nearly a page long!) in my purse and will keep it with me if I pop into Jeremy's again soon. Thanks to all for your interest and for reading! I hope to help you guys find other treasures in the future!

Today's a Good Day...

Every once in a while, things come together for a good day. Here's some reasons that make a good day:

I brought my lunch, meaning I saved a bit of money and hopefully some calories!

LOST is on tonight and I can't wait to see what is in store for the Jin/Rousseau storyline.

Went for a great run last night, on the treadmill but still counts!

We left for work on time this morning so got a good start on the day.

I am hoping I can find some readers the shoes they are searching for!

Valentines Day is around the corner and I love to see the cute letterpress cards like these:





What is making your day today?
