This weekend was awesome. How was yours? We had amazing weather and I got to wear my sandals! I love these babies. They were a good purchase. Luckily Target has some more this year. They also have a pair similar in yellow! They might be on my list. 🙂

What’s on your list?

Deja Vu Boutique in Seaside, FL

by //

You guys, on our way to the warmest place in the USA we stopped in Seaside, FL. (Fun fact, The Truman Show was shot there!) It was a beautiful and quaint little town. We would have stayed there if it wouldn’t have been in the 40s. I wore a winter coat and hat the whole time! But that is neither here nor there. I talked Bob into letting me look in this sweet little boutique Deja Vu. You guys, I was so overwhlemed that we spend about an hour in there just looking around. (Don’t I have the best and most patient husband!) I kept looking and looking and finally walked out, empty handed. 🙁 I’m so bummed that I didn’t try stuff on, or just grab something. I almost bought a bracelet, but it was $40 and I thought that was a bit more than I wanted to spend. But I wish I had just gone for it.

So if you’re ever in Seaside you need to go there, and then apologize to the ladies there for me that I didn’t buy anything. I just couldn’t decide! Ahh! Check this place out:

2011 Spring Trend: Flared Jeans

Something So wonderful is happening. Skinny Jeans are no longer the only cool denim to wear!! Yea! Check out these looks straight from the runway (Derek Lam and Adam).

I found these images on The Sartorialist in November.

The Sartorialist Wide Leg Jeans

What I’m seeing is that these jeans are not meant to be long, comfy, boyfriend jeans. Rather they are to be used as trousers. They should fit your tushie and the top of your leg pretty well, and then flare from there. I’ll wear them with chunky high heels although the skinny heels in the picture above are making me rethink the possibilities.

Here are some jeans that I’ve found that are more in my price range. I already have one pair from Gap and I plan to get more.
