This weekend I was visiting my friend Tory in D.C. and she told me about a store called Bandolino. We walked by the store and I had to stop in (of course). Well, lo and behold, I found my new favorite store. I was grabbing every shoe off the shelf. I guess there was a Memorial Day sale going on because almost EVERYTHING was on sale… like 50% off and MORE! And on top of that, if you bought 2 pairs of shoes, you got the 2nd one 25% off.
Now I was hesitant about posting this because the deal was too good to tell everyone, but I figure if you’re reading this, you deserve to know. And thanks Tory for telling me about this!
Thank you Laura for suggesting this dress from Charlotte Russe! In fact, I loved it so much that I decided to make this my pick for Dress of the week.
Recently I’ve gotten into tube dresses because, let’s face it, with this weather, there is not much else that will keep you cool. These colors and eclectic pattern are what makes this dress a winner. Not to mention the price of a whopping $26.99!
Bermuda shorts are a great alternative to wearing suits and pants in the summer. They aren’t too short which means they are work-friendly but give a really nice put together and casual look. Jessica wore a pair to work today and not only are they comfortable but they are super cute.
You can find a ton of these at Bloomingdales, but grab ‘em while they’re still in stock, because these Bermuda shorts are hot.
Ok, so I’ll be the first to admit that bathing suit shopping isn’t as glamorous as it may seen. Buying a bathing suit can require shelling out some serious bucks — It used to be impossible to get bathing suits for a good price. And even the ones from Victoria’s Secret that are priced low are made cheaply.
Well here’s a new idea. Old Navy has great bathing suits! This one shown above is under $30 bucks for BOTH pieces. And they have great colors and designs that you can mix and match.
Oh, and if you have some bathing suit tips or a great store that you’d like to recommend, let me know!
Fabulous 80s vintage dress for only 35 bucks with intricate detail and buttons… bid now while supplies last!
Maki Maki is a great eBay store with TONS and TONS of vintage clothing from dresses to coats, tops and even accessories. The best thing about this site is that since it’s on eBay, prices start at ridiculously low numbers! Check it out for a great deal.
I fell in love with this dress from Urban Outfitters. Why? It’s not only elegant without trying too hard, but its simple, casual and great for both day and night because of its length. A simple dress like this is great to wear everyday or dress up in.
I have found it hard to find dresses that work in both situations, but I think this one fits the bill.
So I was searching the web and found this really cool USB case made of Legos!!! It’s really simple to make — Here’s the link so you can make one for yourself!
Thanks Ian Hampton for the step by step instructions!

I found these amazing pair of Radiation Symbol Guitar Pick earrings on Etsy.com made by Maggies Handcraft Studio. They are made with a one inch wide guitar pick and topped off with a Swarovski crystal for a nice touch.
Last week on ThreadHeads, Rob and Corinne visited a local screen-printing shop called ABT’s and Camilo gave them the run down on how they screen print the professional way. Then, they took it a step farther and showed you how to make a screen and screenprint – DIY style from your very own home.
And speaking of t-shirts they also showed you some recent breakthrough t-shirt innovations such as Lumalive Technology, Tqualizer, Csiro, and a look at an awesome Threadbanger t-shirt designed and created by one of their viewers, Chris. Plus, they’re giving two free tickets to Maker Faire in the Bay Area. Watch the show to find out how!
This strange flower garden looking teapot is actually blooming flower tea!
You put the tea buds in hot water and they bloom right in front of your eyes with a deliciously refreshing tea!!! I love Full Bloom Tea and they are having a mother’s day special, so head on over there to find the perfect gift!!!
When I stopped into Sephora a few days ago, I couldn’t help but notice the large pile of slimming cream called “Fat Girl Slim.” SERIOUSLY? They are adding Caffeine and QuSomes to aid in the slimming and trimming of the body. This is for the seriously lazy person.
For $25 bucks you could buy yourself something healthy to eat and go for a run. Anyway, they recommend you to apply this twice a day and massage it into your skin for 20 to 30 seconds. Does this really work? I doubt it. I really really doubt it.
What this does, is proves to me that our nation is LAZY.
This weekend, I went out both nights (obviously). It was Cinco de Mayo AND the weather was great. However, I noticed an increasingly large number of short dresses. I don’t mean just short like above the knee, but I mean like “Wow.. I hope she’s wearing shorts under that and the wind doens’t pick up.”
Case in point, I got to thinking that short dresses are maybe the new “in” thing. REALLY short dresses. Kinda like the one shown above from Urban Outfitters.
Today when I went online, I had no trouble finding short dresses. Maybe I should buy some…
Some cream and sugar with that? This week we show you what to do with your old coffee, grounds by dying your jeans in ‘em. Were also exposing this weeks top 10 weirdest web wears, and exploring the world of open source sewing with the creative folks over at Burda Style.
If you somehow missed the controversial bomb scare that went on earlier this year in Boston this past year, or can’t get enough of Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Adult Swim, then you MUST purchase this necklace. Its so rad, that how could resist, really? But beware upon entering Boston, they just might think this is another form of a bomb….
If you’re from the West Coast like myself, of just can’t get enough of flip flops, then Bonsai sandals could just be the pair for you. Why??? You can wear them year round! They are uber comfortable because of their sheepskin, yet they are casual and give your feet the freedom of a flip flop!
