{Geeky Hip}: Romper Room

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

I was so excited when I got my fun little romper from ModCloth last week! As you all know, I had been looking for a stylish, yet comfy outfit to wear to the Epicenter Festival for the Bush reunion and I was pretty sure I hit the nail on the head with this cute romper. However, I had never ordered from ModCloth before so I wasn’t sure what to expect quality or fit wise. I was pleasantly surprised when it fit perfectly! This little number is the perfect summer outfit – it’s airy and sweet. The perfect accompaniment to a poolside BBQ, a beach bike ride or in this case, a summer concert.

So for those of you wondering if ModCloth is a viable option while doing a little online retail therapy, I can give it a really big thumbs up! I’ve just noticed that if you have your eyes on a certain item, don’t dilly dally. They seem to sell out pretty quickly so you have to act fast!

Have a happy geeky Tuesday!

{Geeky} Hip: So So Happy

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

While at Comic-Con a couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to stumble on the So So Happy booth on the Convention floor. It was like a slice of Melificent heaven: Lots of bright, fun colors and cute characters. They had tees, tattoos, pins and plushes, just to name a few and as if their products weren’t amazing enough, they had two wonderful people running the booth that were a joy to speak to. Needless to say, I left with a slew of goodies and can’t wait to shop at their online store for even more!

But you know what I love the most? The company’s message that we should embrace everything good in the world and treat everyone with respect and kindness. Each kind of bizarre character in their arsenal is supposed to represent each one of us that may be a little out there, a little eccentric, a little different, but still happy and worthy of everything this great life has to offer. Plus, 10% of all sales go to organizations such as Music Saves Lives and To Write Love On Her Arms, all charities that help today’s youth through different hardships. You just have to love a company that wants nothing more than to spread love, happiness and peace. It’s contagious.

So embrace your uniqueness and get so so happy…today!

Plasticland Favorites

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

One of my new favorite online shops is Plasticland. You may remember that I purchased the most awesome-sauce pink cuckoo clock there for my new pink room. Well, they don’t just have housewares. They have a variety of amazingly fun and retro items to choose from. And here are some of my most recent favorites:

P91126702

Watermelon Mini Skirt – $44

Can I get one in every color under the sun? I would literally wear this skirt every single day.

P91117901

Bardot Platform Pumps -$39

Oh heck yes. Pair this with a black dress or with a pair of skinny jeans and you will get all the right kind of stares.

P00209018

Decorated Tin Cupcake Carrier – $36

Being a big fan of baking and eating cupcakes, I often struggle with how I will transport them to parties or to my office. This is the most perfect and adorable solution ever.

What I Wore.

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

I know you are all still waiting on a review of Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince, but work has been driving me mad! I promise it’ll be part of Lovable Friday tomorrow morning!

I really look up to fashionista bloggers such as Jessica from What I Wore and even my own personal friends, like Ang, who manage to put together such great outfits on the daily and take such inspiring photos for the rest of us to try to emulate. Now Miami doesn’t have the best vintage shopping (if you know of any, please fill me in!) so I have to make due with what I find in “regular stores,” but I try my best to put together fun outfits full of personality as often as possible. And lucky for all of you, I decided to share some of my most recent get-ups.

3679856579_10c32f9a3bShirt – Old Navy
Skirt – Express (found at T.J. Maxx)

3680672012_9ca0593df3Jeans – Ross
Scarf – Claire’s
V-neck tee – Gap
Giraffe kid’s umbrella – stolen! (from a co-worker)

Shoes – Forever 21
Birthmark – well…birth

img_3565Shirt – Forever 21
Ripped shorts – Forever 21
Necklace – gifted
Hat – husband’s hand-me-down from Target

So what do you guys think? Should this be another weekly theme? Maybe an outfit of the week? Let me know!

Evil Temptress.

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

I’m trying my best not to spend any more money than needed leading up to my trip to San Diego for Comic-Con, but of course, something came up. Doesn’t something always come up? It just seems that way – when you are trying to save – BOOM! – speeding ticket, accident or in my case, car repairs. My car decided to have severe brake failure 3 weeks before my trip and although I am still trying to get a good estimate, it looks like I’ll have to drop $500+ on my car sometime this week.

And then I saw these:

gojane_2060_611378559Striped Colorblock Tank Dress
$24.80

gojane_2060_553219259Chunky heel pointed toe bootie
$22.70

gojane_2061_148573467Gladiator Heels
$19.99 on sale

Wouldn’t that dress really round out the rest of my wonderful birthday girl outfits for San Diego? I really think so! And those shoes are to die for. I’ve been searching for some hot gladiator style heels or booties and these two pairs really satisfy the urge! Will I cave in? Most likely. ;)

For more of these inexpensive fashions, check out Go Jane!

Edit:

Since I wrote up this post and got everyone’s comments “peer pressuring” me (yeah right) to cave in & purchase what I wanted, I have. Heh. What can I say? I’m weak when it comes to clothes shopping. I can never have enough cute outfits! I wasn’t able to secure the dress in green (huge bummer), but I got it in red along with the black booties (I don’t wear a lot of brown so I couldn’t justify the heels) & I threw in another dress just for good measure. I told you I’m weak.
