Ti Amo Thursdays

Another week loves.. whew! I'm tired and exhausted from all of these taxes, I will say this at least 10 more times but I cannot wait until April 15th! So to keep my sanity, I daydream about the day I can shop for these:

Chic Belted Jumper from Forever 21

There are many styles of rompers/jumpers available for Spring/Summer but I adore this simple and flattering silhouette. Nothing too crazy. Just elegant and casual at the same time.

buckled strappy leatherette sandal from GoJane

I'm in need of some plain strappy sandals. I love GoJane and the fact that these are only $15 means they are definitely getting added to my shopping list!

Juicy Couture Beach 'Little Lulu' Halter Swimdress from Nordstrom

I definitely need to go bathing suit shopping asap! I found one a Kenneth Cole one piece I liked at Dillards a couple of weeks ago but it was not nearly as cute as this Juicy Couture one. I may be taking a trip to Nordstrom here soon :)

So what has caught your eye this week?

Thanks to Forever 21, GoJane and Nordstrom for the pictures!



Ti Amo Thursdays

Hello lovelies! Hope you are having a good week! Work has been busy busy for me but I still had time to pore my eyes over these beauties:

Zebra Ruffle Slingback Heel from Charlotte Russe

I'm usually not a big fan of animal print. I feel you either have to been under 18 or over 40 to pull it off. But these slingbacks are fabulous and would make an excellent standout accessory to an otherwise drab outfit!

House of Blue Leaves on Etsy

I have to do a bit of open bragging and coddling for this one. My husband is absolutely genius when it comes to crocheting. He started last year with scarves and gloves but has now made his way to clutches and purses! I'm lucky enough to have my own private arsenal at home but if you are looking for something unique and handmade for either yourself or a loved one, please check out his newly created Etsy store! More items will be added soon :)

European Impressions Tour from Contiki

Traveling is ALWAYS on my mind. My goal is to retire in the Italian or French riviera. Europe is simply beautiful and I could go on for days and days about our amazing travels there. So as I daydream at work sometimes I can't help but browse the tours on Contiki's website. Contiki is a tour group geared towards 20somethings which is nice if you don't want to travel with kids or seniors (no offense if you are either!) and offers a no hassle vacation for very decent prices. I won't be able to return to the other side of the pond 'til at least 2013 but I am already looking forward to it!

Speaking of vacations, we leave for Vegas in 7 weeks! I am beyond excited and many of these "Ti Amo" posts that include clothing will end up on my shopping list for this trip. But I am also looking forward to the food, nightlife and shows. Nonetheless I want to look fabulous for all of it so here is to 7 more weeks to find the perfect wardrobe for Sin City!

Thanks to Charlotte Russe, Etsy, and Contiki for the pictures!



Ti Amo Thursdays

Oh my, its already Thursday! Hope you all have been having a good week. Here's what piqued my interest this week.

I follow many fashion blogs but my favorite is Erika's Cafe Fashionista. Not only is she a fantastic writer, she has amazing fashion sense and is one of the sweetest girls I've ever encountered on the web. She has a weekly feature entitled Thrifty Thursday which featured this gorgeous blazer from Forever 21:

And for only $22.80 its definitely getting added to the after tax season shopping list!

Another thing to look forward to after tax season is Las Vegas. My husband and I along with a couple of friends are trekking all the way from Cincinnati to Sin City for a 4 day weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday. My Kodak digital camera is over 3 years old which as we know in electronic age is ancient history, so I've been shopping for a new point-n-shoot to catalog our crazy wolf pack adventures. I haven't made up my mind completely but one of the contenders is:

Nikon - Coolpix 14.2-Megapixel Digital Camera - Silver from Best Buy

To say I take a lot of pictures is the understatement of the century so I really need to find a camera that is easily portable but still takes amazing shots.

And as I started thinking of Vegas, I imagined a sunny day laying by the pool at our hotel (the Mirage) sipping a cocktail and possibly wearing this (if only I had the body!):

Carmen Marc Valvo Retro One-Piece from Victoria's Secret

I think this retro silhouette is simply stunning. Its sexy but not trashy. I really need to get back in the gym..

Enough about me, what do you have your eyes on loves?

Thanks to Forever 21, Best Buy and Victoria's Secret for the pictures!



Ti Amo

Time for my weekly bliss as I "window" shop the 'net for new obsessions to add to the ever growing "wish" list.

Cut-out lace up slinkbacks from GoJane

If you haven't figured it out by now, I am a HUGE supporter of GoJane.com! They offer the latest in clothing, shoes and accessories at great prices. Now how adorable are these sling backs?!

.Katniss' Bow and Arrow Necklace from Etsy

I really enjoy the juxtaposition of this necklace and how it represents both hard and soft natures.. Etsy is great for rare and unique finds like this!

BCBGMAXAZRIA Tiered One-Shoulder Dress from Dillards

I think this beauty would look gorgeous on my porcelain skin! I must find a more frugal alternative-stat!

What has caught your fancy this week loves?

Thanks to GoJane, Etsy and Dillards for the pictures!

Ti Amo

One thing you may want to know about me is that I am in love with all things Italian and will probably talk about it A LOT. So it only seemed fitting to have a feature of all things I am loving at the moment. (FYI: ti amo means "I love you" in Italian!)

So without further ado:
Merona Houdstooth Rain Boots from Target

Ahh, houndstooth is one of my favorite patterns. So sophisticated and matches anything! These beauties are only $24.99--maybe for a tax season present?

Sheer Paneled Maxi Skirt from GoJane

I am not usually a fan of sheer but there is something classically sexy about these skirts. I haven't worn an ankle length skirt since.. never. But I may have to break that rule for this sheer delight!

Black Swan Blu Ray from Amazon

Ahh, I cannot even begin to tell you how much I loved this movie! Natalie Portman was muy bellisimo in her performance in the psychological thriller and just thinking about the ending still gives me chills. I have already bought the soundtrack, Tchaikovsky's score of Swan Lake, and 2 ballet workout dvds to get me back into dancer shape. I (im)patiently await for this masterpiece to arrive in my mailbox.

So, what are you loving at the moment? What has you itching to reach for the plastic?

Thanks to Target, GoJane and Amazon for the pictures!
