a horrible, gigantic, enormous mistake

Thankfully, I didn't leave myself much time and left without buying anything. Afterwards I found out there is a whole room in the back that is clearance. A WHOLE ROOM. Must go back soon. My birthday is coming up. I might ask to spend the whole day there.

Here are a few of my favorites currently listed online..

Love love love this dress

and this one

and this one

all of which I think would love fabulous with these shoes.

I also fell in love with this scarf. Gorgeous.

And this cute little birdie necklace,

and this stylish hat! I just discovered that I can sort of pull off hats so I am always looking for cute ones.

And then I ventured to the home section where I found these little measuring cups,

this awesome cookie jar,

this little butter dish, my favorite thing I found today, and

these little salt and pepper shakers. I have a little collection of salt and pepper shakers and think these would fit nicely. Yep. Like them a lot. And that little butter dish above... Did I mention my birthday was coming up? Just sayin'...


Yep. I have a new favorite store.
