0 Shoe Wants.

So, I'm in the market for some new sandals for spring.  I'm absolutely in love with these...HOWEVER, they are very expensive.  I need to find some similar ones that are more in my price range (which is like a tenth of what these cost for the record).

Balenciaga Eclipse Flat Sandals in Plomb/Corail. + Alexander Mcqueen Skinny Leather Flat Sandals + Rebeccca Minkoff Bardot Colorblock Sandals 

In other shoe news:

I also really want these.  But I haven't been able to find any information on them...anyone know anything?

And did you see these chevron Louboutin's? Thank god they aren't paired with yellow or I would cry.

2 New Art

I'm in the market for some new affordable art. I ordered these two prints from Mammoth Collection yesterday that I'm super excited about!


I'll be honest, although I love them and what they are doing, I get a little frustrated with the shipping costs of many of the affordable art sites (like 20x200 and Little Paper Planes).  It's probably totally justifiable on their end, but often causes me to second guess my purchases.  BUT, right now Mammoth Collection is offering 25% off every print in their collection using the discount code "FATHERSDAY"...more than makes up for shipping costs.  Thanks Mammoth Collection!


Anyone have any other art suggestions for me, and/or discount shipping codes!?

1 Geronimo Balloons

Geronimo Balloons. I mean these are just flat out happy.  Who wouldn't love a giant balloon?

Geronimo! was founded by Certified Balloonatic and Master Balloon-Trooper, Jihan “Jihanimo” Zencirli, as a way to celebrate friends’ and families’ lives in her hometown of Seattle in 2010. On any given day, Jihan could be seen arriving to a restaurant, birthday party, friend’s home, park, art gallery, library or boutique with her balloons fastened to her 1974 (yellow with matching saddlebags and whitewall tires) French Moped, drawing attention and delight from every person she zipped past. Eventually “The Balloon Girl”, as she was soon known, decided that it was time she shared the bliss of balloons with people of Los Angeles. Jihan opened the doors to her Seaton Street Studio and Workshop in Los Angeles, on May 1st 2011, where her spherical interests can be seen as an explosion and  visual feast of fine ribbon, vintage millenary and hand cut paper fancy created exclusively and originally for every order, also offering party planning and event services!

Found thanks to Oh Joy!  See hers and her adorable baby bump here...so cute!
