i don't know about you but i've been seeing and reading about this shop in many of the blogs i encounter. apparently, they did a site relaunch recently, so i went to check it out. love it! no wonder, the site is filled with pretty headbands. the downfall, though, is too expensive for me. however, they did add the much more affordable line of still lovely pieces(shown in pictures below) called heart by bando. everything in that line is under $50. not bad right?
but wait! i managed to find another shop that makes pretty headbands called tree and kimball. the two designers work for anthropologie but their pieces at their etsy shop are much more affordable. here are some of their head pieces which are all under $30:
both shops are worth checking out! trust me you won't be disappointed. if you can, let us know if you ordered anything.
enjoy!
remember this post? the lovely owner of the shop with the adorable accesories has a blog that i have been following for a while: oh, hello friend. danni hong, the owner, has put together a pretty awesome giveaway at her blog. so be sure to check it out! there are 3 chances to win. the giveaway ends on march 12.
enjoy!

a clutch bag, of course! design within reach (DWR), a website i discovered last night, is filled with modern items from furnitures to home accesories. the prices, however, are waayyyyy beyond comprehension but i did manage to find something affordable -this tools bag for only $15. it's made out of canvas and i think it would definitely be big and cute enough to use as a clutch!!
i would buy it, would you?
the above picture is one of fave finds on the site. she purchased the fleece scarves from the dollar store and hand painted the images to make it more modern and stylish! check out the rest of the article here. i like going to the dollar store to buy wrapping paper, ribbons, office supplies and stationery! moreover, for two years in a row i bought christmas tree decorations from there! my husband was amazed that i only spent $20 on the tree trimmings! i'll have to look for the pictures and post them on here!
if you've been to a dollar store before: what awesome finds did you score?
enjoy!
Fashion trends come & go... & then they come back! Above are this years fall 2008 fashion trends.
Pointy toed heels are back, but when aren't they? they go well with practically anything from formal to casual clothing.
Dresses in bold solid colors, the simpler the better (or what ever you prefer).
Plaid prints -- preferably full-print on dresses or jackets. Not unless you don't care what other's think, then wear it what ever way you want.
Floral tops, but remember to think fall and autumn colors.
Tuxedo Jackets, check out Kate Moss' style. She sports the jacket often & it looks good.
Snake Print heels, belts, bracelets. Little accents, not head to toe!
Cut-out bootie boots, or ankle boots. Also cut-out heels, not straped heels (too fancy).
Layering necklaces, whether its a bundle of necklaces together, or 1 made with lots of layers.
Lace is also in. Lace tops or lace accented tops.
Mix & match, but don't wear all this at one time! Like I always say, find your own style -- Something that will bring out your personality. Buying clothes that fits your correctly will flatter your figure.
Shop around before you jump into something & regret it later on. Regret as in finding it at a sale price elsewhere!
