My Favorite Wedges to Date

/

This past weekend I headed into my favorite discount clothing store, TJ Maxx, to look for some shoes for my sister in law. I was successful in finding shoes for her AND for me. haha! I scored my FAVORITE wedges to date. They might even in my top 5 of all time...So what are they?

BCBGeneration Tempa Wedges. They are THE most comfortable AND attractive shoe. Seriously, I don't think Born or Soft has anything on these guys. The elastic around the foot keeps me feeling comfortable, as well as the built in arch support.

I bought these shoes in brown, but they also come in beige and black. However, I think dark brown is going to be a beautiful color for fall, so I plan to wear these shoes through October.

What's your most comfortable shoe?

Birthday Goodies

/

Today is my birthday. WOOOHOOO! Though I don't love the fact that I found a gray hair on my head the other day (sigh), I am definitely celebrating turning the big 2-7 by doing a little sale shoppin'. Actually, I did it on Monday...I just couldn't resist. haha! Want to see what I found???

First stop Banana Republic. I walked into the store because they had a giant sale sign that said take an additional 40% sale items. How could I say no? I ended up finding a denim shirt on sale for $24.99, bringing the total down to $16. WOOHOO! Unfortunately, online they only have it on sale for $49, so check out your local store.

Then I headed over to my all time favorite store, J.Crew. Of course, I had the best luck there. :) I found several fun things on sale with a bonus of an additional 30% off all items.

1. Awesome slim boyfriend jeans on sale for $19.99. For all of the years I worked and shopped at J.Crew, boyfriend jeans have never appealed to me. Recently, the came out with the slim boyfriend pant, and I love them! I'm normally a 6/8 and I had to wear a size 4 in them, so keep that in mind if you order them. I also LOVE the light denim wash. It's going to be pretty popular the rest of this year. Online they are still full price, so head into your local store.

2. I also got the Silk Sophie Blouse in dark slate. It actually has a hint of green in it. It's sooooo pretty, comfortable and a great piece that will transition into fall. In the store this blouse was on sale for $25.99.

3. Wide-rib wool tights in heather gray. They were marked down to $4.99, so I basically got them for $3.00. What a steal?! I can't wait to wear them this winter.

I also found a blush colored leather belt for $6.50. Unfortunatley, you can't find it online.

Great way to start off 27 don't you think? ;)

Pssssst for Curly Hair

/

I'm a big fan of dry shampoo, especially using my new favorite product Pssssst for Wavy and Curly Hair. I had used the original formula, and had thought it was so-so. I preferred to use Batiste because I thought it smelled better. Well, that was until Psssst came out with one formulated for curly hair.

It smells SOOOO good! It's basically like wearing Clinique Happy in your hair, but better! It also doesn't leave white residue like the original formula does. It only costs $6.99 at Ulta.

Try it! You'll love it!
