Campbell's Mom

Still shopping today....  finding all kinds of cool things as I surf around.  Campbell brought her mom and uncle to town this week for a short visit.  While they were here, Campbell's mom showed me the sweetest iPhone covers.  They were all so cute, I couldn't decide on one.  Old Lily would have ordered two or three.  New Lily decided she didn't need a new iPhone case.  Little victory.

While at that webstore, I found several other organizational products that might be necessary.  I have always had this fascination with being organized.  It is my fantasy.  On the See Jane Work site, I found a number of items that New Lily might need.  Like this Habit Former set of Life Organization cards.....  Who doesn't want to have good organization habits?  Those cards are going to help me do and delegate my way to a less stressful life!

And another favorite item....  the Mom Agenda.

Nothing beats having all the important information you need in one place.  Whether it is health insurance information, immunization info or schedules and calendars -- a Mom Agenda is a slick way to keep everything you need to know within reach. 

And I know I tend to be a "yes" man when it comes to commenting on things here on the blog, but I did find something ridiculous in the store.

Seriously?  A hard-bound Webster's Thesaurus with 686 pages?  For $180?  And my alternative is to use my computer or the internet for free and not to store a gigantic book?  Hmmmm.................. 

Premium Sites

I just don't live in the right area of the country to have access to the best shopping areas.   Therefore, I try to find as many great things as I can on the internets.
This week, Temple St. Clair partnered with Target to release some really great jewelry pieces.  You really should check them all out.  It surprised me with its depth and variety.  I was expecting about 5-6 pieces and was pleasantly surprised with many more than that.

While you get your microscopes out to zoom in on these pictures, I will go ahead and post a couple of pairs of earrings....

I am sure I don't have to remind you that you are reading a rookie's blog.  I don't know how to fix every little thing like pictures that are too small, but when you blow them up, they get all blurry.  Just remember, I fly by the seat of my pants at all times.

Then there was this really cool site, carrying lots of different brands for moms, kids, and babies.... it's called Zulily.  (I wonder what attracted me to it.)

Gosh, they have some cute things!  Good thing I can show some restraint.  Look at me!  All restraintful and everything!  An unbelievable exhibition of self control.  Right here.  For a minute, anyway.

Don't worry...... I'll keep looking!  I know the list is neverending.  Ta-ta!

Another Worthless Wednesday

It's been a weird week.  No real schedule to speak of, just random things that need to be done.  Thus, another Worthless Wednesday....

So I found these darling little numbers on Love, September's Etsy shop.  How cute are those?  I am pretty sure that everyone I know needs them!  Precious!

And while searching the children's aisle, I found this cute little number.....

.... from a different Etsy store belonging to Ana's Baby Couture.  Happened to be in some of my personal favorite colors.

Oh, and Ana had this other cute headband, too!

But I didn't stop shopping.  In my quest to bring you the best finds of the ...... day ...

I thought these notecards were hilarious! 

The seller said this means "Crap" in French, but I thought it meant "Shit."  Either way, could be very appropriate.... or not so much.

How cute are these fabrics?  I guess the artist hand draws them all.  She is super talented, and she has dozens of patterns in her Etsy store.

And how about these shoes???

I have an affinity for anything with the word "Bollywood" in the description.

Just wasted another Wednesday... hope it wasn't too worthless!

Worthless Wednesday

Okay, maybe not worthless, but it is stinkin' hot outside - and for a girl who doesn't handle her humidity very well, days like this are meant to be spent inside.  Inside ANYWHERE.  But inside.

If I lived in a metropolis, you might find me shopping on a day like today.  This is the time of year when most stores are stuffed to the gills with "back-to-school" supplies, clothes and necessities.  You don't have to look very far on the internets --I say it like that to annoy-- to find tons of fall and winter clothes and accessories.  Many of which a girl needs.

My buddy, Big Mama, is a pro at shopping the internets.  I don't know how she does it.  But she can find more stuff that we need than anyone I've ever seen.

These boots were a find of hers.  They are called Naughty Monkey 'Detective' boots.  I wanted them sight unseen, based on the name alone!  Not sure they would accent my short 40-something-year-old legs, but I want to try them on.  Naughty Monkey!  really?

And then, I thought this purse was super cute...

It just screams autumn at me.  And if you know me, you know that I am all about autumn and anything autumnal.  Even though I would carry it clear through the winter.....

And after finding such great things at Piperlime, I hopped on over to J. Crew where I went straight to the jewelry, totally unnecessary, and found this little sparkler.  No idea where I would wear such an item, but I just liked it.  And then by the time I clicked over to it, it was already sold out in this color.  Darn the luck.

I am going to have to hone my online shopping skills in order to keep up with Big Mama.  She is the bomb.  And as long as the temps stay up, I will continue to work at it.  :)
