flip flops

I soooo badly want it to be flip flop weather. I want to retire my chuck T's and uggs for a few months, and just let my feet breath. I was brave the other day and wore flip flops to the store. It wasn't a horrible experience, however it wasn't the warmest experience either. With dreams of flip flops and sunshine I did a little "window" web shopping and found theses beauties.

If you haven't worn a pair of Havaianas before you are missing out. They are hands down the best rubber flip flops around. I suggest you run along and purchase a pair so you are ready for those warm sun rays.

Are you as ready for summer as I am?

TOMS ballet flats

I've always thought Toms were cute on other people, but they weren't really for me. However, these ballet flats are so stinkin' cute and I want them all. Of course I instantly chose neutral shades like usual, but the cobalt blue ones are amazing! 

In case you don't know, Toms is a company that matches every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for one. Even more reason to run out and add a pair to your closet.

Can you tell which ballet flat is the bargain buy?

Try and take a guess before looking at what I wrote below.

No cheating ;)

Do you have your guess? 

Number 1 is the bargain buy at only $59 from Piperlime. Number 2 may or may not break your bank at $178. Of course number 2 is a Tory Burch flat, and of course I am still dreaming of the day when a pair will grace my feet. However, that day isn't today, so I am still looking for deals on shoes that look similar to Tory Burch. This may be my calling in life. Ok that may be a little over the deep end.

lets talk boots ladies

Today the fabulous Mrs. Lindsay is doing a guest post about boots.

I am not a huge "boot" gal, so I thought it would be nice to get a little advice from a friend that knows everything about great fashion and bargain buys. I mean really check out how cute her fashionable little family is....

I’m so excited to be a guest on Tara’s blog and to be talking about one of my loves in life, SHOES!! Ahhh, don’t we all just feel better when we say that word, I know I do. We all love shoes because lets be honest you can still eat that quarter pounder with fries and a coke and be the same size and by size I mean shoe size, haha!!

! Since we’re in the dead of winter I’ll be talking about boots!! I love myself a great boot, both with a heel for some sassy-ness and without a heel for the everyday momma running around, and carrying a kid on the hip. My favorite boots are the ones that stay within our family’s financial budget because that’s when you can see them on my feet, and not just the drool on my face when I’m looking at them and never actually owning them. You’re also reading the words of THE QUEEN of bargain shopping over here!! Who wouldn’t want to spend $668 on a new pair of Louise Vuittons but let’s face it, NOT going to happen in my lifetime. So where is it you ladies go for your favorite boots? I of coarse love to hit Macy’s and Dillards but I only go there when they have half off their shoes, like I said, I’m a bargain shopper!! I don’t want to get your bargain shoe mixed up with looking cheap, you have to spot whether or not the money you’re saving makes you look that way. Be mindful of that.

 Okay so my all time favorite places I look for boots when I’m out for a good find is Marshall’s and TJ Max n More, Burlington Coat Factory(not just coats there ladies and gents), now that they came into town, Designer Show Warehouse and Ross will bring out the goods too, you just have to hit it at the right time. Of coarse there are great online stores as well, the problem I have is my ginorm size 10 feet so to order online is a big fat failure in my book, but if you’re up for the challenge and you’re the person I’d like to stab because you have a cute size 5, 6, or 7, give it a whirl sister. My favorite online sites are 6pm, great shoes and inexpensive. Also, if you hate em, or they don’t fit, sending them back is free!! Alrighty, my favorite part is about to happen, I’m listing my favorite shoes that will never happen unless I kill a man for them, and the others I’m listing are affordable in my book!!

These Calvin Klein boots are adorable, but the red is to DIE for. Reg $190 on sale now for $90. I mean come on!

I posted on Saturday about Steve Madden karisma flats I ordered. Well they arrived today and I love them. 

They are so nice in person and I couldn't be more in love. 

Excuse the crazy lines on my feet lol :)

and p.s- I HATE my feet!

saturday savings

I have been wanting a pair of Tory Burch flats for some time now and have had my eyes on the metallic eddie ballet flats. Normally when I lust after a shoe I go ahead and buy it. However, I just can't justify this price right now. Lucky for me Steve Madden has an almost identical flat for much cheaper. Granted I love the silver, but a girl on a budget can't afford to be picky. 

I ordered the Steve Madden Karisma flats last week when all shoes were 25% off and free shipping. Originally $79.95 I only spent $59.96. Amazing savings right?!? It pays to shop around. One day I will cave in and strut around in some fab Tory Burch flats. Till than Madden will do just fine :))

p.s- Right now you can get 15% off & free shipping. Just type in STEVE15 when checking out. They also come in black and midnight blue. 

I'll keep you posted if they have any more killer deals. 

Happy Saturday!!!!
