j who??

OK... I don't want this Blog to be about negativity...that is all too much in this day and age, so I am asking for BUY today...
here's the deal.. remember when I told you about the camo jacket from JCREW?? Since looking at that jacket I've visited 2 different Jcrew locations 3 different times.
the first time was for the camo jacket... no one greeted me, or even spoke to me.
the second time I was pushing a stroller, so you couldn't miss me, my 15 month old cannot be missed!!! ...totally ignored....
the third time I was again alone- back at the first location...carrying 3 shopping bags (jcrew to do exchange, nordstrom and I think lord and taylor)... again NO ONE even said Hello.... WHAT????
I will admit, I'm not the preppy type but still... do not prejudge... retailers in general these days suck! Are they cutting payroll so much because of the economy that they are so grossly understaffed that no one can say hi because they are sooooo busy and overworked?? No, they prejudged.... BIG MISTAKE jcrew...because I walked right down to ANTHROPOLOGIE got myself a personal shopper and went to town....so suck it jcrew I don't need you!!!!

on a lighter note... Anthro may just be the cutest store on the planet...if you haven't - check it out!!!

i don't even like skinny boys!

For some reason, ever since I can remember, I always want some piece of clothing or accessory that is impossible to find. I usually end up finding it after it is the hot item and put it away and make it work when its not so "in"... I remember specifically years ago looking for a white wedge shoe with a cork bottom... I means like 10 years ago, now everyone from Nine West to Christian Louboutin makes a white wedge...its pretty annoying... but it always surfaces... I never like it when everyone else does....
My latest obsession is a slouchy, boyfriend, cropped, ripped up jean. Doesn't sound too difficult to find does it?? For me "boyfriend" would mean a little big. If i put on my husbands jeans, they would fall off of me, I've for sure never had a bf skinnier than me... I don't like skinny guys!! Sooo if its called a bf jean, it should be too big. Every single bf jean I've tried has been a "skinny, slouchy" jean WHAT??? That makes zero sense to me... So I continue my search... I'm hitting abercrombie tomorrow... keep your eyes open... I would love some advice on this!!!

green scarf

Did anyone watch the bachelor special a couple weeks ago that showed all of the bachelor "secrets" from over the years??? Deanna Pappas was wearing a green scarf and I am obsessed!!!! if anyone sees a dark green (kelly) scarf... please give me a heads up..literally haven't stopped thinking about it in 2 weeks!!!!

I've got a crush on CAMO

camouflage to me is like animal print... it can always work in a wardrobe whether its trendy or not. Personally I LOVE leopard...its in my house, on my kids, on my feet, my handbags...obsessed...BUT right now its everywhere on everyone else too and I'm not really digging looking like everyone else! Where am I going with this you ask????
Ahhhh CAMO....Camo is adorable and this season I am putting it with HOT PINK... My oldest had camo pants as an infant and to keep her "girly" I paired them with a hot pink polo... the light bulb hit me the other day when I was looking through old pics...
I have a follower that HATES ugg boots but I LOVE LOVE LOVE them.... so here's 2 options...one for the ugg lovers.... camo mini, white t shirt and hot pink uggs...
for the ugg haters (courtney :-) camo mini, hot pink tee shirt and black flip flops!
I'm wearing it as soon as I can and I may even post a pic... yes I'm 37 and this is a young look...oh well!!! I'm doing it and I dare you to also!!!

ps...if your anything like me...you get a catalog...fall in love and never stop thinking about the item until you own it... I've recently been smitten over a camo jacket from JCREW... I'm more rocker than preppy BUT I thought...I will get this and make it my own... Finally got there today.... UGHHHHH thank goodness I didn't order it online... NOT CUTE...just an fyi...boxy, not good fabric and certainly not coming home with me :-)...ps it was $128...really?? something tells me Gap will have something similar for half the price...I'll keep you posted.

old navy must have!!

these days "recessionistas" are more trendy then ever!! I have to tell you, over the years I've splurged for both girls and myself and lately I'm realizing "less is more"

so I went into old navy last night... here's what you must have! The kids dresses are $10... there is a beautiful tiered dress in white... perfect for portraits... a must have. You have a boy too?? Then get him a polo and khakis...perfect!

for us...they had great cardigans for $10...I got a turquoise one... my thought over white this summer...such a huge trendy color and I'll want a few things in it so for 10 bucks i couldn't resist... I also picked up a tunic dress looking thing... thought of pairing with leggings...it was $20...super cute and comfy...check it out!!!

ps sorry i've been slacking off... i have so many ideas and want to put them all so be patient!! ps any questions feel free to post!!!
