Oh man, can you tell I’m craving summer? For several reasons but the main three are: one. the weather. two. the pool to open (Memorial Day Weekend). three. there is a library a stones throw away from my house (literally) that has been in the process of being built and was supposed to open “winter 2009″ Well, it’s now supposed to open July 2010. Yes, makes me mad that they tricked me, but I can’t wait for it to FINALLY open!
Okay… on to the swimsuit, at Boden for $68.00

This morning, while reading one of my favorite blogs, Stephmodo, I saw a link to a new collection by Narciso Rodriguez. I’m not a designer clothes-wearing kind of girl, but I have always liked Rodriguez’s clothes. (First Lady Michelle Obama wears Narciso Rodriguez all the time, and looks fantastic.) Of course, a cute and simple knit black dress caught my attention, and then I realized, I pretty much already have this dress. Check out the comparison:


Cute dress and cute shoes, but this look will set you back $720.00. Yes, that’s right, seven hundred twenty DOLLARS. Crazy.
For that kind of money, you could buy:
an almost identical dress (from Shade Clothing, one of my all-time favorites), cute shoes and accessories for three separate looks, and still have $300 left over. I have this dress and believe it to be the perfect casual-on-the-verge-of-nice (business casual?) little black dress. The scoopneck is just the right amount of scoop, flattering without giving away the farm. It looks more sleek than it feels…it feels like you’re wearing a dress made out of your favorite sweatshirt. I seriously love this dress, and wore an outfit similar to outfit #1 just the other day.
Trust me on this one, you’ll love this dress. And it’s on sale. What more could you want?
1. necklace, tights, shoes
2. necklace, bangles, shoes
3. necklace, ring, shoes

This is a reminder for myself, but I have a feeling that many of you are in the same boat, right along with me. I am a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl, and that suits my lifestyle pretty well since I’m a stay at home mom of three boys under the age of three. But sometimes, even I get a little tired/bored of my super-soft Gap tees and comfy jeans. Here’s my solution: Cute knit tops!
It’s not a novel idea, for sure. But there are so many options for knit tops out there, and since they’re basically just a dressed up t-shirt, I can’t resist their soft and stretchy powers. I love ruffles, pleats, cowls, plackets, different sleeve lengths…I never met a knit I didn’t like.
So, this spring I’m going to upgrade my comfy style with some fun knits and switch up my jeans with some cute pants. Top everything off with some bangles or a necklace, add some cheap and easy sandals and it’s just as comfortable as your favorite sweats and a baggy tee – but a million times cuter.

I love the floral print on this blouse, and how cute are those polka dots?
At Anthropologie on sale for $49.95
Posted in $100+, Anthropologie, Dresses on February 19th, 2010 by Natalie – 4 Comments
A new, cute, and modest dress from Anthropologie! YAY! And for Anthropologie, it is pretty affordable…
At Anthropologie for $138.00, 39.5 inches long
Let me clarify, no… this is not affordable to me… it is affordable for being an Anthropologie dress…
Posted in $75 - $100, Anthropologie, Dresses, Shabby Apple on February 18th, 2010 by Natalie – 2 Comments


So the dress on the left is absolutely perfect… I need it. And when I say need it… this time, I mean it! It is a modest version of the Anthropologie dress on the right that was out last summer. (pictured in this post, second outfit down) And I wanted that dress, but not only was it $178.00, it was also sleeveless, so I would have had to buy a cardigan as well. So yes, this dress is $88.00… but that’s like over $100.00 savings compared to the Anthropologie dress. (haha my husband laughs when I consider buying this dress and tell him that I’m really saving money…)
At Shabby Apple for $88.00

Is it just me or does this look like a perfect swimsuit cover up? Yes, I know… it’s pretty covering for the beach, but I get burned so easily, I tend to lean towards being more covered if I’m not in the pool anyways.
