FredFlare.com

I recently re-visited one of my favorite shopping sites:  FredFlare.com.  My favorite department is the Home section, with household essentials like a table saw cake cutter, shadow of a duck shower curtain and an ice cream sandwich pillow, it has long been my favorite destination for whimsical, offbeat, and downright hipster accessories.  Please enjoy:  http://www.fredflare.com/AT-HOME/?orderby=&all=true

Cubicle decorating

I have started my internship for the summer and part of the fun of having my first office job is decorating my cubicle. I found a picture of Audrey Hepburn and the Eifel tower at Icings for about $8. I got the orchid at OSH for about $10. The best thing about OSH is that if the plant dies, you can bring it back. I've never had a plant of my own so hopefully I don't kill it. My coffee mug is from home but it adds that "cozy office" feeling. I found pink sriped binder clips at Wal Mart for $3 and the purple mouse pad came with the cube. I brought in my pink flower magnets to put on the filing cabinet. I need to decorate the other side of the cubicle now because all the decorations are on the side with my computer. The job itself is really good.

Summer Internship

Finals have settled now and its time for all the wonderful things of summer including the beach, disneyland, camping, salsa dancing, bowling, freedom from homework, and a full time internship. I am very thrilled to report that I have found a summer long internship with a silicon valley high tech company. Now I am on a mission to assemble a wardrobe for a professional work environment. I have checked out Target where I picked up some tops that were on clearance and a couple pairs of work pants. I bought a pair of shoes from Nine West that are a little tight but I'm hoping they'll stretch. I also picked up a gorgeous blue purse from Target. Several necklaces and work blouses have made their way into my closet too. I feel like my collection is pretty much complete. The work environment is very business casual so I dont need to wear a suit or anything like that. I want to look stylish and professional at the same time.

Forever 21's Accessory Wall

Last weekend I was reminded yet again of why I LOVE Forever 21's accessory wall.  Oodles and oodles of the CUTEST necklaces, earrings, sunglasses, hats, scarves, bags, and now even shoes!  Never mind that they're made of the cheapest junk available.  They're trendy and fun.  At $4 for a necklace and $5.80 for a pair of sunglasses, who cares if they tarnish or crack after the 10th use?  At that price I can buy the entire collection rather than just one piece.  I love it.  Here are a few items from my recent personal collection of Forever 21 accessories.

FYI:  the jumbo pearl strand has been worn 30+ times and I get compliments on it all the time!  Just saying...
