A Little Spring in Your Step

All this warm weather we've been enjoying has made me long for pastel pedicures and strappy sandals. One of my favorite things about spring is new-found foot freedom! And since a girl (and her closet) can never be too prepared, I decided to do a little snooping online to see what spring-y delights are in store....

Look at this paisley cutie from Unlisted by Kenneth Cole. It's "all girl" with a cork-covered heel and a charming bow... for $50 at Piperlime.com (free shipping and free returns). Long live the peep toe!




Now here's a versatile little sandal: Snopea by Nine West. This one is light gold leather (love it!), but it comes in seven other shades. And unlike with the heel above, my ankle will not give way when Bug gives chase. $58.95 at Zappos.com, which also offers free shipping and returns.

Check out the awesome color of Marc Fisher's "Glow" Wedge. A great match with jeans, skirts, shorts... so much potential in this kicky little orange number! $51.75 at Macys.com.

Okay, enough tootsie temptation for one day! My constricted, boot-clad feet are crying uncle.

All Dressed Up... and Somewhere to Go!

Valentine's Day is only nine days away. Having a little Bug running around has made date nights less common than Hunk and I would like... but Valentine's Day is an exception! It would just be too depressing to stay home with Netflix and popcorn (again), so for one night, my anal self will concentrate very hard on not cringing when I hand over the babysitter's money and head out for a little rekindling of all feelings pre-Bug with my hubby.

But, what to wear?! I decided to do a little searching for date night duds online, and while I doubt my conscience (i.e. my husband) will let me purchase any of these items, lookey at what I found!

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Vega Silk Turtleneck Halter Dress
What is more romantic than a silk, sleeveless, turtleneck dress? One that's also a halter, that's what!

J.Crew tissue rolling-ruffles tank
Isn't it sweet? Flirty but casual. I think it'd look super cute with a fitted pair of dark denim jeans, a casual blazer and heels... me likey!
$44 at www.jcrew.com


GAP t-shirt scarf dress
A cozy little scarf attaches to this t-shirt dress... which can be worn alone (yeah, if your legs looks like hers in mid-February) or over tights or skinny jeans. Gotta love a multi-tasker!

$48 at www.gap.com


Okay, so I'm out of time, but I think that's a nice little start for some date night ideas. Regardless of your plans next weekend, I hope you find something fab to wear... even if it's just for Netflix.
