Green Thumb

My first attempt at gardening - glad it was a success!

Update: Shopping Bag

Here's a little update on Wednesday's Moment of Weakness.

The Seychelles flats are horrible in person and going back this afternoon. They look like grandma shoes, at best. Not really what I was hoping for.

The Lilly Pulitzer Callahan shorts are completely see through. I mean see through to the point you can see the care tag right through the fabric. Just awful. I suppose I'll have to resort to white denim shorts.

PSA: Friends & Family 30% off

Today is a gorgeous, sunny, warm FRIDAY and it only took me an hour to get to work sooo I am in a fantastic mood today!

Anyhow, Tory Burch has added tons of new items to her sale. The icing on the cake is that Friends & Family is also going on right now! The 30% F&F discount can also be applied to sale merchandise. When checking out, use code: FRIENDS2010.

Happy shopping, ladies!

Milly

If you love this Milly dress as much as I do, and happen to be a size 12, it is on sale at Nordstrom right now! Sale price is $199 down from $325. I LOOOOOVE it!

Shopping Bag

Well I had another moment (or perhaps a few hours) of weakness yesterday. I think it was all the stress brought on by all my clothes falling apart at the seams.

So I did a little damage, online. Hoping all the packages arrive while Mr. K is traveling on business this week!

Here's what I bought:

Seychelles 'Bette' flat

Lilly Pulitzer 'Callahan' shorts

KUT from the Kloth cropped khakis

KUT from the Kloth cropped skinny jeans

Coach 'Helena' heel (mine are black patent)

Caslon open cardi (in 3 colors)

Holy Monday

Here's a visual of yesterday's lovely hole. How embarrassing!!

Anyhow, coming soon: pictures of my "garden." My pansies are thriving!

Case of the Mondays

Well Monday was off to a rough start. I won't get into my gripes about work but I returned from getting a cup of coffee to notice that my Banana Republic Martin 323 pants now have a hole in them. I guess I have loved them quite a bit.

The real kicker, though, is that this is the fourth item of clothing that I have found a hole in, in the past week! I guess it is time for some new digs. I headed out to Old Navy (not my favorite store) for some retail therapy on lunch but all I managed to find was a $12.50 white, lace trimmed camisole. Fantastic :(

Determined to find some new items, I headed to bananarepublic.com while devouring my 6 inch sub at my desk. I bought the pants below (navy, cropped, similar to the Martin 323). And the short sleeve cardi also pictured below.

I found a coupon code on RetailMeNot.com for 25% off which expires tonight. Use code: BR25DEAL.

Age:28
Number of Lilly Pulitzer items in wardrobe: 1
YAY!! My first Lilly!

My favorite item to wear year-round to bars and other evening social occasions is black, ankle length pencil pants. I have 2 pairs - one from BCBG which is strictly evening and another from j.crew (the Minnie pant) which I wear during the day sometimes, as well. I have been looking for a bright, summery top to wear with the BCBG pants and found it on today's RueLaLa sale!

Calvin Klein

What do you think - would this suffice as an acceptable knock off for the Jimmy Choo Private? This is the Calvin Klein Remini ...

Piper - May 2010

Have you ever seen a sadder boxer? My poor baby Piper broke her toe playing fetch on Sunday (Mother's Day). She was upset about the broken toe and really nursing it. Then I took her to the vet. She was more upset about the cast. But the straw that broke the camel's back was the cone. Piper is morose!!
Look at my little sweetheart! POOR BABY!!

Aww ... I am really hoping Piper makes a super speedy recovery. She hasn't moved off the couch in two days. She doesn't want to eat or play. It's going to be a long road ... for the whole K family!

Thursday's Material Wishlist Vol. 10 (Tuesday Edition)

I never thought it would happen but I am in love with rompers! No, not the 1985 kind I wore when I was 3. Today's rompers are way hotter! (And of course a little chambray, lovin' that too).

French Connection

Dammit BUM! Why do you have to be so plump that by the time I find something to fit around you, it is 2 sizes too big on top? WHY?!?

I was DYING for this French Connection dress to wear this summer and to the New Kids on the Block concert but I guess my search will continue.

Shoes ...

If my husband asks, these shoes have been in the closet FOR-EV-ER!

Hit me up ... let me know what you think of my new shoes!

Thursday's Material Wishlist Vol. 9

By now it's probably apparent that I love, love, love shoes! Shoes can make an outfit. But what about the outfit? I certainly have a greater variety of shoes than I do of clothes. So here it goes, Thursday's Material Wishlist ... dedicated to clothes (and ... ruffles!)
