Blankets For Everyone

This just might be my favorite fashion staple of all time. The blanket. When the winter sets in, there's nothing more cozy then being under a pile of blankets.  

So when I came across this link on Twitter from Harper's Bazaar, I was ecstatic to see just how easy it was to make my own. There are two styles to choose from, and they are both fab. I'm obsessed with mine and planning on making more!  

To make your own go here.

Can't Afford Not To

I recently scored in a major way, though it wouldn't have happened without my husband's hound dog skills. We were heading home after a road trip and after spotting a Ross, he suggested we check it out. 

Once inside I headed straight for the shoes, but was quickly discouraged as nothing stuck out to me that was larger than a size 9 ( I know, I know....I have big feet ). I was about to throw in the towel when he came over and thought he should take a look. Within a matter of minutes, he found me not one, but two pairs of heels that I actually liked!

Oh! It gets better...the booties he found me were marked at $4.99, and the heels we marked at 49¢!! I thought there had to be a mistake. Sure enough, it was true. Let me do some quick math for you. That is TWO pairs of shoes for $5.48!!

Lesson learned: good deals can take some digging, and don't forget to check discount stores. After all, you can't afford not to!

U-Pick

I. Love. Peaches. It's true! So, when I found out last October that there was a U-Pick for peaches in my area, I've literally been waiting since then ( rather impatiently ), for peach picking season to come around again!

Of course I wanted to be gussied up for the occasion, because is there any reason not to be?! I even brought some boots along so I could get down and dirty ; )

Last Saturday, I met with Liz from Honest Fashion at Le Pain Quotidien in DuPont for coffee and pain du chocolat. It's fun to talk fashion inspiration with other folks who might find the latest Jeffrey Campbell chain wedge sneakers in Elle just as swoon-worthy.

Are you a local blogger? We'd love to hear from you! [ Be sure to dish on what you thought of Amanda Seyfried's August 2013 Elle spread! ]

You know that feeling when you've been searching for an item for years and finally you just happen upon it? 

Yup, that one.

That's exactly how I felt when I stumbled across this Nine West straw hat at Macy's. Now [even more than before!] I'm looking forward to all the outdoor concerts this summer!
