Loving…
Hilary Duff’s Poncho that she has on here:
http://fabsugar.com/810548
… yes I said I love a poncho. I usually hate ponchos as a general rule of thumb but sometimes something stands out from the crowd and actually looks good like this one does. It’s not dressy but it’s still not so frumpy or ugly that you shouldn’t leave the house wearing it. It looks comfortable with just a tiny touch of class.
Another outfit from Polyvore.com
Fun with style
Create outfits from different online stores in one spot: http://www.polyvore.com
Shown here:
- Sunglasses: whitchery.com.au for $59.99
- Bracelet: 80spurple.com for $60
- Dress: forever21.com …. seems to be out of stock
- Bag: macys.com $598 (geez I have expensive tastes)
- Shoes: Stevemadden … again another that I can’t actually find.
So there are some glitches if you actually want to buy that exact outfit (out of stock items) but otherwise it’s really fun. 🙂
Purse Organizers
- I initially wanted one of these:
http://www.purseket.com/
But I saw them in a store about a year ago and although the concept is good, the material was flimsy and fragile feeling … I would probably buy this if the plastic inside were thicker and the fabric covering were a nylon or something more durable and cleanable. These might be more durable than they seem so I would love to hear from someone who has tried one of these. - DIY version of the above:

http://www.pursebriteorganizer.com - Today though I saw this in a catalog:
http://www.purznizer.com/
This seems a little bit better …I like the idea of the zipper top because I no longer buy open top purses after an incident where my purse fell between the wall and restaurant booth seat and EVERYTHING fell out and went all over the place. The only drawback to this at the moment is that my current purse I think is smaller than the “small” version of this.
So has anyone tried any of these? Have another recommendation? I would love to hear from you! 🙂
DIY project: Lace inserts in shirts
Ok I really like this idea, to cut out a section of camisole and then add in some lace or other decorative trim (crochet might work.)
This shirt is really cute but I don’t think I could spend $70 for a wife beater when I could buy some for $5 and add to them myself (I don’t think the smushed boob look here isn’t a good one either but I think that’s the result of a bad choice in tube bra.) If you think these shirts are worth $70 or you simply have no time or any sewing skills whatsoever, here’s the link: http://www.graeyny.com/whitelacetank.html
Otherwise I think it would be a really great, easy and cheap DIY project. I’ll let you know if I end up making some. 🙂
PS – note the new addition to the comments on the site. It’s called recaptcha and it’s really useful, really easy to install and it has basically gotten rid of spam comments for me. Oh, and I will be killing the promo section of this site in the near future … I haven’t been able to keep it up to date plus it didn’t help to get hateful comments by some people (chewing me because a code that was over a year old didn’t work … let’s see… not my fault a code over a year old doesn’t work so there was no need to take it out on me. I basically haven’t bothered TRYING to do the coupons and promos since then.)
