Two for Tuesday: Killing It

The 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection may have been a bust... 

(That's my personal opinion - clearly most people disagree since it is sold out almost everywhere...)

But, Target's Shoe Department has been KILLING IT lately.

This summer I walked out of there with three pairs of wedges in one shopping trip!  That is CRAY!

And on Saturday, I walked out of there with not one, but two pairs of boots.  Oh shhhhhhhhh!  I needed them both!

Check them out.  I know you'll understand...

1.  Sam and Libby Booties:

They are fierce.  You should buy them.
Women's shoes are BOGO - plus free shipping over $50

2.  Mossimo Cropped Cowboy Boots

These are super comfy.  You'll probably wan to buy these too.
(Have I mentioned BOGO???!!!!!)

What do you think about Target's shoes lately?

I'd also love to hear your thoughts on the Philip Lim collaboration.  Worth the hype?  Or cheap imitations?

Love ya like I love Target BOGO shoe sales!

Weekend Wrap Up

I had quite the productive weekend:

• Finished up my yard sale with total profit:  $501.00 (not too shabby).  Now I can pay for the gorgeous pair of Italian leather boots I couldn't resist at Marshall's last week.  The leather is LIKE BUTTER.  Pure.  Heaven.  
• Donated unsold knickknacks and clothing to Good Will.
• Organized left over baby stuff to put on Craigslist, consign, or gift.
• Read Lost Along The Way in a 24 hour period.  My Pride and Prejudice fans out there:  YOU HAVE TO READ IT!  
• Performed fall clean up of front yard.
• Colt had his first day of swimming lessons and his first time in Sunday School (as opposed to nursery).  When did he grow up?
• Had a girls night out on Saturday and tried TRATA.  Loved the atmosphere! 
• Erected play yard for Cooper in family room.  It is my hope that I might be able to empty the dishwasher or poop uninterrupted.  Hey, a girl can dream.
• And last but certainly not least - I got BOTH boys in bed by 8pm last night.  (Those of you whose children go to bed at 7pm might not understand the momentousness of this occasion - but I assure you that when your beasties are usually up til after 9:00, 8pm is GLORIOUS!  

As for today:

• Cooper is 8 months old.  Wow!
• I've already blogged!   Go me!  Great giveaway up on my sister blog Flower City Fashion for all my local Rochester gals.

Let's hope this is a sign that this is going to be a productive week.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Dontcha Just Love a Good Deal?

If you're like me, you've been running around crazy Christmas shopping for everyone except yourself.  (Ok to be completely honest, if you're like me you're also shopping for yourself.  Monday night as I was headed out the door for a much needed Mom's Night Out, when my husband says:  "You're going to Pittsford right?"  I say: "yes."  He responds:  "Would it be really unromantic if I asked you to pick up a Del Monte Spa gift card for yourself?")  So yeah, I'm buying my own presents too, but that doesn't mean I wasn't thrilled to see the awesome Tory Burch boot sale going on at Suzanne's Distinctive Fashions in Pittsford.

That's right ladies:  50% off Tory Burch boots.  I've never seen them discounted this much.  I think I'll have to zip over there tonight and check out what they have.  (I already called to see what is available in size 9).  Nothing wrong with wishing yourself a merry little Christmas...right?

How about you?  Are you going to treat yourself to something this holiday season?  Do tell :)

A Girl Can Never Have Too Many Shoes

True Story.

I did a cursory assessment of my shoe collection and eyeballed about 75 pairs.  And you know what?  I want more.  I could never have enough shoes.

Here are eight styles I'm wanting and you'll be seeing (and hopefully wearing) this fall:

1.  Platform Loafers

Nine West.  Love these.
Would look adorable with wide leg jeans or paired with a dress/skirt and dark tights or socks.

2.  Ankle Wedges

Suede.  J.Crew.  Yes, please.

3.  Stacked Heel Boots

Tory Burch.  The leather is like butter.  Delicious.
Now, who wants to give me $550?  Anybody?  Anybody?

4.  Pointy Ankle Boots

These Christian Louboutins make me salivate.  

Sadly instead of buying these, I'll be replacing my oven.  Damn.

5.  Flat Ankle Boots

Love these from Zara (probably because they look like a mini version of my favorite pair of riding boots).
Either way they are adorable and under $100.

6.  Slingback Bow Pumps

Just bought these Mootsies Tootsies slingbacks for $39.95 at DSW to wear to my friend's wedding next weekend.

7.  Flat Knee High Boots

This type of boot is my go-to shoe for fall.  I fell in love with these Steve Maddens at DSW.
Once I find some cute maternity skinny jeans, they are mine.

8.  Pointy Flats

Love these by Elizabeth and James.  The pointy toe elongates the leg and looks adorable with anything.

I could go on and on but I think eight is enough.  Wasn't that a tv show?   I digress.  

What about you?  What shoes are you dying to add to your collection this fall?

Old Man Sweaters Aren't Just for Old Men

Got two fabulous deals at Athropologie Eastview yesterday.  Oh sale rack how I love thee...let me count the ways.

2. Camel Cartonnier Three Quarter Sleeve Blazer.  Original Price $118.00.  I paid $29.95!

Here I am today with my little goober in my fabulous new old man sweater:

Do I have a cute kid or what?

April Showers

Ah yes, back to Rochester weather.  Thankfully, I really love my bright yellow Target rain boots.  I bought them 4 or 5 years ago for $16.99 and get complimented on them every time I wear them.  They are a pop of sunshine on an otherwise dreary day, and best of all:  they keep my feet dry!  Here is my go-to outfit for combating April Showers:

Hoping those May flowers and sunshine are on the way - if not, I might need to add these babies to my rainy day repertoire:

Burberry
$195

What about you?  How do you look fab while staying dry?  And more importantly, would you spend $200 on rain boots?
