I started noticing that a lot of the clothes that I end up buying at Therapy stores (an indie clothing boutique in the San Francisco Bay Area) can also be found on ModCloth.com. I was really happy to find this out since I try to write about things I like that are available online in case my readers want to get them too. :) This week, I got this taupe and cream squiggly-striped Bow Front Stripe Frock at Therapy -- it's called Sand Sculptor Dress on ModCloth. I love the round bow collar! Read more...

Nordstrom is having their Half-Yearly Sale for women and kids going on now through Sunday, June 5! I stopped by my local Nordstrom store on the first day of the sale (Wednesday, May 25th) to look at some shoes. I ended up buying two pairs of heels -- a black polka dot "Apple Pie" heel from Poetic Licence and a black patent leather "Shimmer Sandal" by Michael Kors! Read more...

Scarves are my favorite accessory, because they instantly add color, texture, and/or pattern to an outfit. They also keep you warm! I got this colorful pom pom scarf from ModCloth.com. It's unique and pretty sizable at 52 inches by 52 inches! The pom poms are actually quite bigger than I expected when I saw the picture online (they are about an inch in diameter), but I love how they stand out and are so colorful. This scarf really livens up a simple outfit! Read more...

I was drawn to this cute scoop-back dress when I was shopping at my favorite Therapy boutique. There's a strip of the same floral fabric on the bottom of the dress that helps the scoop-back top stay nicely in place on my shoulders. This dress is one of those things that I can turn to on a whim, especially on days when I don't have much time to come up with an outfit. It also works well as a swimsuit cover up! Read more...

The weather has been really nice lately, so I wanted to get some new shorts. I bought two shorts from Anthropologie that are both featured on their new May 2011 catalog. The blue Gerbera Shorts has beautiful brown embroidery of African daisies on both front and back. These shorts are cut straight without any pleating, so I love how they don't flare out. The other pair of shorts has dragonfly print, and it comes with a sash made of the same fabric. Read more...
