why the obsession:
Who’s ready for summer vacation???! I know I am, and have been on vacation to Florida to visit family. As with any vacation, I’m sad to see it end so soon, vacations are never long enough. In any case, this vacation was full of eating, beaching, and of course, some shopping! Since I usually buy most things online these days, it was a change of pace to go outlet shopping. In our recent trip to Ellenton, we stopped in to a J. Crew Factory store and scored some awesome deals, everything in the store was an extra 50% off. One of my favorite purchases was this J. Crew drawstring tunic, along with a necklace and bracelet bauble. White and navy stripes with pops of neon yellow? A classic summer combination…

obsession name: Sam Edelman Marais Leather Tilda Drawstring Satchel in Creme
where to buy: piperlime.com
purchased from: amazon.com
why the obsession:
Happy Memorial Day to all who celebrate this holiday! Today the first thing we should remember are the men and women who died while serving our country, our prayers and thanks for their great sacrifice. Today also typically marks the “official” start of summer season, and the fact that women are “officially” allowed to wear white fashion articles. I personally love all fashion things white, except that I’m always worried of getting everything dirty. This didn’t stop me, however, from being drawn to Sam Edelman Marais Leather Tilda Drawstring Satchel in Crème. Not only does Sam Edelman make some fabulous shoes, but I am totally loving the contemporary handbag line as well.

obsession name: Tiffany & Co. The Great Gatsby Collection Savoy Headpiece
where to buy: tiffany.com
why the obsession:
Last weekend was the hubby and I’s 4-year wedding anniversary. As part of our celebration, one of our many dates last weekend was to grab some dinner and watch the new release of The Great Gatsby. There are a great many fashion things to obsess about in the movie, but my favorite fashion piece was this Tiffany & Co. The Great Gatsby Collection Savoy Headpiece, famously worn by Daisy to attend one of many Gatsby’s parties (and where Tom starts growing suspicious of their relationship). If this does not scream 1920’s glamour, I’m not sure what else will…
obsession name: Sperry Top-Sider Authentic Original Leather Boat Shoe, in Platinum Gold
purchased from: nordstrom.com
why the obsession:
I love April. Not only is it (starting) to be ABSOLUTELY gorgeous outside, but it’s also the month of Friends and Family discounts, and the beginning of spring fashion markdowns. Given that it hasn’t really been “spring” in Denver until a few weeks ago, I love that by the time I actually buy spring fashion (since I can actually start wearing it), everything has already started going on sale! And what woman doesn’t love a great deal. One of my (few) April purchases has been this Sperry Top-Sider Authentic Original Leather Boat Shoe in Platinum Gold. It was originally $89.95, but it was marked down to 33% off to $60.26, plus, over Christmas I had won a $25 gift card to Nordstrom’s in a raffle drawing, so after taxes and free shipping to my house, I only paid $35.26! Pretty sweet for a very trendy metallic summer shoe…
