Fashion Haul: Basics from Forever 21, Spring Dresses from Ideeli, Shoes from DSW & Cole Haan

Spring is here, which means summer is just around the corner.  I know that I can’t ever have enough white or black t-shirts, which are great with jeans, for layering etc.  The best place (for me) to get my t-shirts for the summer is Forever21.  I picked up several tanks and t-shirts in black and white.

 

 

I also picked up this color blocked bodycon dress from Forever21 ($17.80). The way the pattern is fakes a curvy shape (not that I need any help in that area 😉 ) I bought it because my husband liked it.  I know he can’t wait to see me in it (or out of it lol)

 

I had $50 Credit on ideeli.com so, I picked up two dresses. Both I can easily wear to work, and dress up or down. Both dresses are by Greylin. I pinned them on my pinterest board.

 

This one-shoulder dress has sequin detailing around each circle, which makes it perfect for n evening date.  I did try it on when it first came, and I think I need to wear a thin belt with it.

 

I love this one! The back makes it sexy. Since it zips down the front, it makes it easier for me to breastfeed.

I was looking for a pair of wedges that were either brown or in the brown family.  I was perusing the DSW website & came across these cute wedges – Sole Obsession Maggie 07 in Cognac, plus I had a coupon! I ended up getting them for $39!

 

 

During Cole Haan’s Friends & family Sale I ended up picking up these cute & comfy flats! I told you I would.

 

That is it for now…

How are you liking my buys?

Have you ever wanted a date with Ashton Kutcher? Now’s your chance – He’s on a dating site!

 

I can’t believe Ashton Kutcher is on a dating site!  I know there are millions, upon millions of girls who would want to score a date with him.  Watch the video below, and check his dating profile on this new dating site World Wide Lovers.

 

 

If Ashton Kutcher is not your cup of tea, the match-making site, World Wide Lovers has a variety of men suitable for your tastes.  Here are just a few I found, you may find them to be amusing too! Just browsing the site had me in stitches.

Raj is a bollywood producer.  He kind of reminds me of Reza from Shah’s of Sunset. 

 

Nigel, for those who like to indulge in a little herbal therapy, he is your man!

 

 

Darl, is for those of you who have an affinity for pets, and sharing your food with them doesn’t bother you at all. Oh, and doesn’t he look like Karl Lagerfield?

 

 

Swordfish is your man if you are down with the tattooed, biker get-up.  I have a few tattoos myself, but, I will leave him for you 😉  Besides, behind those tattoo’s I can tell there is a nice, sweet, hunk of love waiting for you.

 

 

Check the dating site out!

If not Ashton Kutcher, Which of these guys will you date?
