Girl Sailor

Girl Sailor

I've pretty much already worn this outfit. Forget the fact that it's my new top, the white capris and a striped top were done last month.

Almost Americana

Oh well. This time I clearly pushed the nautical element, with my anchor necklace, starfish necklace, and starfish ring (which isn't in the photos because I took it off to do dishes and left it by the sink).

 Dispite this being the seventh striped shirt I have acquired, I still need one more. Seriously.
I need one where the stripes don't go all the way to the top, preferably with 3/4 sleeves. I'd like this sequined one from J.Crew, but at $72 that's not going to happen.


Without sequins and $15 would be just fine. Know of any?

The shoe quest continues. I'm now finding it to be so hard! I just want a shoe that makes my heart pound, and a price that doesn't... make my heart pound. 
Two new contenders are shoeaday's very affordable nine west option ($35):



and this Jessica Simpson I found today ($46).

Still on the table are the Aldo ($50) and the French Connection ($60).

Another strange and sudden must get now item: a lion belt.


Just popped into my head this morning that I needed one, and I anxiously awaited my 10 am break so that I could look for one on ebay. Found one right away and the auction ends in a little while. I hope I win!
Have you heard about the Surprise Ball Exchange at Oh, My Darling? I've signed up! The participants will each get a random name and must fill a ball up with random trinkets of fun and mail it off at the end of the month.


I must go, Burn Notice is on in a few minutes! And thanks to everyone who left me sweet comments on my last post, Wednesday was a bit better, and today after a brief freak-out over a non-printing printer (that turned out to not even be my fault) was much better. And tomorrow is Friday!!!!

  5. You look so cute you can never have too many stripes! hehe I too have a collection of striped tops. They have some tops like the J. crew minus the sequins at Zara - I got one it was about $19 if I remember correctly.

    Also- Lion belt! Did you win it? hehe I have one too! Seen here http://iwasthegoldengirl.blogspot.com/2010/05/chambray-kinda-day.html
    it's vintage and has gotten a bit tarnished - i need to find out what to clean it up with!

  6. Lyddie my vote goes to the Jezabel Sandal, it's such a great shoe, I'd buy it myself if I could walk in heels that high (anything past 3" is very high for me). I love this outfit better than last months because it flatters your figure the best! You have such a tiny waist I envy it! hehehe =D

  7. that top is SO flattering for stripes, wow!

  8. That striped top is really flattering - I'm totally scared of stripes but I like the mix of directions! I fell in love with a Christopher Ross lion belt on ebay awhile ago... never made it mine though :( I love Burn Notice - is it just me or is Michael's acting getting progressively worse though? I love Fiona though, she's fabulous!

  20. I know how you feel about the stripes conundrum. I found a cardi at old navy that meet your requirments, http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=26195&vid=1&pid=696876. It's pretty awesome.

    Also those nine west shoes are EXACTLY what I was going to recommend to you! My professor was wearing them the other day and they were super cute.
