I was surfin Net-A-Porter.com and realized they were having a sale. There were several things I liked but none in my size :(. The few pieces that I really liked were also not my size but maybe they will be yours ;). Enjoy & happy shopping.

I was surfing when I came upon these Flip Flops:
Details
They have a FUNCTIONAL BOTTLE OPENER ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SOLE!!!
You will never again be at a loss for a bottle opener.
I just think this is such a cute idea……LOL

Gladiator sandals are everywhere these days. On Celebrities, in the Fashion Mags and even in Blogs 
To be honest I really haven’t liked this type of shoe. I thought it cut a woman’s leg off, disturbing the line from her shin to her foot. For those of us 5′4″ and under, that could make us look even shorter. I also didn’t like all the straps over the foot. I thought it looked too busy and distracting. Take for example Sarah Jessica Parker’s feet in the promo picture from the Wedding scene in the “Sex and the City” movie coming out at the end of May 2008.
I just hate those shoes with the Wedding Dress!! I like funky and unusual. And as some of you might know, I have a deep love and respect for Particia Fields (If you don’t know, you can read about it here). But these shoes with this dress DO NOT work for me :-& .
Having said all those negative things about Gladiator shoes, I came upon a few yesterday on Piperlime.com that I really like. They aren’t too strappy across the top of the foot and I think they cut the disturbance of your leg line to a minimum.
Bettye Muller Baccarat regular price $420.00 sale price $335.50
DV by Dolce Vita Carnival-30 $65.00
Nine West Rossinis $79.00
Via Spiga Undo $165.00
I’m seriously considering getting one of these pair of Gladiator sandals. Since sandals are all I wear these days, I at least like to get ones that are fashionable.
PS If you plan on visiting my eBay store, take note that I will be posting a bunch of new Shoes by Friday May 23. Stay tuned

I found this blog post which I think is interesting. The post is called “Is Internet Shopping Harmful?”
I personally think it isn’t harmful but then I’m in the group of people that call Shopping “Retail Therapy” to coat in an air of self-help rather than admit to the addiction it may really be :/ . So is it a waste of time….probably but so are many things (TV, Video Games….ect). The above blog writer is correct when she says “at the end of it [Internet window shopping]; all you’re left with is an empty closet!”
How do you feel about Internet Window Shopping?
Also what do you think is a good term for Internet Window Shopping? It seems long and could use a better name. I’ve read “Screen Shopping” which is good name for it. I thought WISH might be a good name for it. WISH standing for Window Internet Shopping Habit and also the Wishing you get to own the products you see as you surf. But maybe you guys can come up with something better. Lemme know your ideas.
I came across this dress while Screen Shopping (the Internet version of window shopping ) at Neiman Marcus. It joins too ideas sequins and Ombre.
Sequined Ombre Dress Was $550 Now on Sale: $385
You know how I feel about Ombre (If not read this blog) but I’m not sure if I like Ombre and Sequins? So I put it out to you readers. What do you think?
Yes this is a good combination. Ombre looks good in everything
No this is a hideous combination. Anything sequined is Bad.
No this is a hideous combination. Anything Ombre is Bad.
Leave me a comment below and/or Take this survey.

I’ve noticed for awhile that Ombre has become a trend this year. I really like this trend. I think I really became aware of it and how much I liked it when I saw Gwen Stefani’s wedding dress by John Galliano for Dior back in 2002.
Before I left for vacation I bookmarked several Ombre items I found that I liked but I’ll post some of those another time. This post is about some items I recently found that incorporate the Ombre trend with another popular trend I like Patent Leather.
Bloomingdales showed an Ombre and Patent Leather bag by Maxx in their recent catalog.
Maxx New York Women’s Degradé Ombre Large Tote Bag - $198
Comes in Purple as well.
Also at Bloomingdale’s was this bag by L.A.M.B (seems Gwen likes the Ombre trend in things other than Wedding Dresses)
L.A.M.B. Manchester Ombre Patent Leather Tote - $495
The above bags can be yours with a 20% discount by using the code FLOWER now thru May 21st at Bloomingdales.com.
But Bloomingdales is not the only place offering items combining these two trends. Some of my other favorite shopping sites have some cool Patent and Ombre items. Enjoy!

CBS News did a story on these suits and some similar products called Clothes For The 21st Century, Stainproof, Wrinkleproof, Sweatproof And More…! In it they say:
A new company called One Suit has cornered the market on cheap and
accessible suits. The suits are all one-size-fits-all and are
disposable. These adjustable - and pretty sexy - suits cost only $10.
Because they’re so inexpensive (and unlined) they’re the perfect
solution when you’re in a bind, or even to offer friends who are
suit-less and want to take a dip in your pool or hot tub.
So what do you guys think? Would you buy one of these? I would like to see how one of them looks. I mean for $10 if it sucks I can use it to dry the dishes
