Over the Rainbow

Got an exciting text from my dear friend Ana, who went back home to California for a visit. She was at the Rainbow Sandals Outlet Store, and asked if I wanted a new pair! So, first of all...Rainbow sandals are like a staple in California beachwear, and the classics are made out of yummy leather with an arch support! Now what flip flops have arch supports...these do need a bit of breaking in in the beginning, but once you get the supple leather to turn all soft shiny and dark, you know you have a keeper. I decided to try the updated skinny strap version pictured below...can't wait to get these babies! Thanks Ana! xo, B

Chic Prints for Nails!

Style.com just posted this sick image of the new Chic Prints by OPI for Sephora, they're nail appliques in crazy cool prints. Summer is definitely the time I love to experiment with color on my nails...and I can't wait to get my hands on these tricked out prints. I want them all...the tiger prints and stripes especially...I'm going to def be hitting up Sephora during lunchtime! xo, B

Daily Inspiration

OMG, just found this awesome section on Vogue UK's site that follows the outfits for a month of different celebs/models/socialites etc. And Alexa Chung was one of the girls amongst Daisy Lowe, Olivia Palermo and Rosie Huntington Whiteley. It's cool to see what exactly these girls are wearing...and it was surprising to see how much they mix stuff up. It's necessary to check this out...a little peak into the windows of these fashionable girls' wardrobes. Loves it! xo, B

Who knew that Olivia wears "normal" stuff like Topshop and J.Crew!

J.Crew Summer Find

Finally had a moment to chill out and catch up on my mags and catalogs over the long weekend...and found this cool Summer bag in the J.Crew catalog. It's called the Wayuu Mochila bag, a hand woven bag made by the women in the Wayuu tribe from the coast of Columbia and Venezuela, how cool is that! I was stalking the J.Crew site for a few days looking for this bag, and I finally found it up, but only to find that it is already sold out! Totally bummed, and even a little pricey at $175, but thought it was a cool and unique purchase. Perfect for the weekend strolls with Cooper in my long summer dresses. Oh well, I can admire it from afar...xo, B

Rachel Comey Boots

So it's June now...and all the first shipments of Fall start to arrive into the stores, which is my fave season! And boots are my fave type of shoe, so naturally it is time to start peeping the new styles that are coming out. Creatures of Comfort just added these awesome Rachel Comey boots...sick heel, rad colors and perfect shaft height to tuck skinny jeans into! This is just beginning of the boot prowl, but these are def at the top of my list...xo, B

The black embossed croc skin is to die...usually not a fan of the heel not matching the upper material of the shoe...but in this case it works.

Great neutral tan color.

Gilt-y...again!

I did it again...bought these bad boys for summer on Gilt. They weren't badly priced at $70 for these Faryl Robin snake skin sandals, loving python these days. Never tried this brand before...but we'll see how they fit! xo, B

Almost considering bringing my Chloe phython Silverado out of hiding...and btw, can't believe I just put LL on my blog...umm, she was actually sorta normal and cool back then (circa 2005).

F21 Ring Action

Dabbling in cheapie Forever 21 jewelry is one of my loves...I check the F21 sites every other day at least for the latest arrivals. This wannabe turqoise ring was only $5, and looks great with a good weight to it. It can be hit or miss with F21, but I've learned to shop with an observant eye...and I think I merchandise it well enough to fool the experienced shopper. lol Jewelry goes quick, so if you love it, it's best to swoop in and make your purchase. Gotta love my cheapie indulgence...xo, B
