Bananas are Beautiful!


Just so you know...Banana Republic (my all-time favorite store of all) is having a great sale on their dress pants! I was able to get a pair of Martin pink-and-tan plaid dress pants for $17.97 (originally $128.00) at a BR store today. This week and last week I was able to pick up several pants for $26 (mostly Jackson fit, which fits me best of all their different cuts). I was also able to snag a really cute pair of wide leg denim jeans for $26 last week. Their dresses and tops/blouses don't seem to be quite as generous in the sale price, but you could probably find some deals if you really look.

Keep in mind, with BR, you must must must shop the sales racks. I rarely ever buy full price at BR; I usually pay 50-75% of their original ticketed price.

And if you do spend $800/year at BR, you can qualify for a BR Luxe Card, which allows free shipping from all BR company stores (BR, Old Navy, The Gap, and Piperlime). You also receive free hemming of pants, which is worth its weight in gold if you really use it. At $10/hem, it really is worth it to have perfectly hemmed pants.

Hope this has been helpful!

Cute Summer Dresses!

I'm not really a "dress person", but for some reason this summer, dresses are everywhere. And they are actually cute and figure-flattering. Best of all, to me and all of you, I have found some super cute dresses in the best of shops...TARGET! Yes, Target has a plethora of cute dresses that I have scooped up.

The first dresses I bought were the Mossimo Black "Shift Dresses". Only 23 bucks, can you believe! I purchased this in brown, royal blue and this beautiful plum color (that has since disappeared from online...prob b/c it was a hit and completely sold out). But, right now you might still be able to find some in the stores and the other colors online. This dress is best without the crazy bow/belt that is in the picture. With the dress just hanging, it fans away from all figure-flaws, and is absolutely stunning for causal-wear and for dressing up. I really really really love this dress.



The next dress is the Mossimo Supply Co "Bubble Dress". I bought this in both black and heather gray. I would've loved the fun-ness of the green, but they didn't have any in stock at my local Target. Right now they are only $15!!! So cute and comfy... I know everyone will love this dress.









































The final dresses are the lovely maxidresses. I have both of the pictured ones. I have only worn the blue & green dress so far and received wonderful compliments. I also saw a fellow mall-goer wearing the purple dress and it looked excellent on her. These dresses are so so so comfortable and carefree. You just throw it on with a pair of cute flip-flops and you're good to go. These are also selling for only $15 at Target.








































Gotta love it! Let me know how you like all of my dress selections!
