A Treat for My Feet

So I was on my way to a KMart that carried this really inexpensive but AWESOME make up brand - e.l.f.- and I found out the store was gone! :( So I swung by the TJ Maxx that was nearby :)

I'm burning through the last of my temp job savings pretty fast. But I finally got a pair of casual sandals that didn't have crazy heels nor were they just cheap flip-flops. I'm so excited to be able to "dress up" my casual summer outfits. I used to like flip-flops cuz it was simple, easy, and casual- but lately I've been really despising the SoCal - beach look -ugh, it's so sloppy and TOO casual.

I love the neutral brown color, could go with anything. Simple straps but enough to keep it securely to my foot. And the little studs are a nice addition without being too bling-bling...

Bamboo and Shoes

I've been getting into yoga a lot and decided I don't wanna wear sweatpants to classes anymore but be really more serious with the right gear. Yet I didn't want to pay $90 at LuLuLemon or someplace like that, so I decided to go to Marshall's and they have an awesome selection of yoga pants from Adidas, Jockey, Marika, etc. I refused to buy anything over $16 and so I ended up with this


I satisfied the inner-tree-hugger in me when I found "Green Apple" yoga pants for $14.99 it's made of 60% Bamboo, 26% Cotton, and %14 Polyester! It's super soft and stretchy and it's "thermal regulating, anti-bacterial, breathable, quick dry, and anti-bromic (deodorizing). woohoo!













Ok....guilty. They put the shoe section right at the front of the entrance...what could I do?! I thought a little walk-through wouldn't hurt. I saw these and I found my perfect gladiator sandals that I have been waiting for! I was willing to spend $60+, but these were (Steven Madden, Madden Girl, original $45 -- Marshall price $24.99) They give me a lot of height yet are super comfy and I don't feel wobbly at all because of the soft heel pads, thick heel, and thick straps around my ankles for support.

The Perfect Galdiator Sandals

Spring in here, and the gladiator sandals are inevitable. I've been avoiding them since last summer. I disliked them a lot when they first become popular, too many straps. But now.... I've given in. And since I'm poor, I need to look for the perfect pair that will be versatile and affordable.



It's ok I got all spring and summer to find a good pair. I definitely want heels though.
Right now I'm window shopping online just to get some ideas.
these look a lot like the model's on the right


I just had to show these, trippiest sandals Ive ever seen. I'm just amused and I wonder if anyone would be able to pull them off. I dare not try.












I definitely think these are a step in the right direction. I like black, no over-the-top, showy buckles or anything like that. Strappy, but not TOO strappy...and I like the subtleness of it. I can wear it casual or on a night out. I like that it's not the glossy patent leather.












Nine West... I'm likin' it. I usually dont really care for Nine West stuff cuz it's usually too mature for me I feel like. But this one, I might just have to go to the closest Nine West. And only $88 :)
