Save My Shoes!

I can't tell you how many times I've busted one of my heels in the NYC sewer grates. It's to the point now that I only carry my shoes in my bag and wear sneakers or flops when I'm walking around. I'm serious! However, now I don't have to - enter Smart Heel heel protectors. Founder Stacie Urbach came up with a gem of a product - for $11.95, your Jimmy Choos, Manolos or in my case, my super cute peep toe velvet red suede Guess stilettos (which to date have hardly left the closet) are safe - at least from the streets!

Soft vintage-y tees

Whenever I go to Target, I end up dropping at least $100. Today, I ended up spending only $40 which was great, especially because that purchase also included this fabulous looking tee. It's soft, slightly faded, tissue thin and with it's Miss Firecracker Contest Finalist reminds one of a 4th of July fair in the middle of Texas.

Oregon Trail tees for sale!

Ohmygod these are hysterical! Do you remember when computers weren't in the classroom, they were in a computer lab and if you were lucky you learned how to program that old Apple 2e (or something) to go up one and over one so that it made a circle? Well if so, then surely you remember Oregon Trail?!? We played it in social studies, you had your team, you had oxen, a wagon, had to decide every day whether you were going to buy medical supplies or food. Were you going to hunt or walk or rest? Invariably regardless of what you did, you died of dysentery. This tee is a subtle reminder that in the end, we all wind up in the same place!

Stylehive & Bluefly pair up for 'The Hunt' Contest

Okay for all of you Stylehive fiends - they've recently partnered up with BlueFly and are running a scavenger hunt of sorts. It's a really cool idea - basically "hivers" are encouraged to dig through all of the great things on BlueFly, find something really cool, unique, etc.. and bookmark it in their hive. Then said hiver, encourages all of their followers to hive the find (in my case Prada peep toes last week). She (or he) with the highest rated find wins a $200 BlueFly Gift Certificate. How BRILLIANT is this?? I was mighty proud of the fact that my Prada peep toes not only made it to the Top 15 last week, but I also picked up like 7 followers. Yippee! Here's a picture of my find - now go out and conquer The Hunt yourself!
