OOD 4.28.09: Resembling My Coffee Cup + Oh My I Just Found Quinn


I don't wear a lot of green, but I love the styling of this top so wanted more than just one white one... and was drawn to this color because it is different from anything else I have. I added a white cardigan and noticed... hey, I look like a Starbucks coffee cup. And I don't mind.

My white cardi is AT Loft but (as I've said many times) quite similar to J Crew's Jackie, which I love and own in other colors. But - last I was in the Loft these were on promo for $24.50. F&F starts today so if they keep it at that price, these will be just $17.15. I did notice this morning that online they are back to $39.50 (I purchased two a couple months ago for $24.50 each online) so that would make them 27.65. Still a great price for some pretty new Spring colors. I'd like to get a champagne/ivory and, if they are under $20, am contemplating a Spring color or two.

So here's today's Polyvore. The shoes are similar... I'm actually wearing some Mia slides I bought at Nordstrom Rack last year.

The watch is the CUTEST. My daughter and I spotted these at Nordstrom on Sunday in the girls department. They come in all kinds of fun colors - turquoise, bright yellow, etc and have those rubber/flexible plastic bands and sparkling rhinestones or crystals around the face. And guess what - $14.00! Only $14.00! What a perfect summer watch. On the face of every watch at Nordstrom, it says "Sophie" with the "o" as a heart. I had never seen these before and when I went to the the website engraved on the back of the watch (www.collezio.com), all the watch faces are plain. I am wondering if they have named these "the Sophie watch" or if they customize them and accidentally printed up 500 with the name Sophie. Either way, they are cute, cute, cute and the SA said Mommies were just buying them up for themselves too so we both got one!

Also, I just found the Quinn. I have an old Kate Spade diaper bag around here somewhere which was a great bag, but I once had a beautiful red KS in some kind of grosgrain fabric that did not hold up well at all... fabric rubbing off on all bottom corners after just a few months of occasional and gentle use. They told me it was because it was rubbing on my clothing, which did not make sense to me at all, so I've kind of not been looking at Kate Spade for the last 8 years or so. But now, though she's been around 10 years, I've found Quinn! This has got to be the most darling Spring bag ever. I want the tangerine tulip and the apple green! I joined the site for email updates and they sent me an email for 15% off... but it seems I've heard of better discounts on the KS site? At any rate, I am waiting. But I've got my eye on these...

Happy Tuesday!

    So cute! Love the green top w/ white cardi, and watch ~ I saw it at Nordie's girls, and thought it was cute, when I went back it was gone. I found a similar one at Kohl's ~ so cute for a summer watch.

    Thanks! Yes, I think the SA said something about them selling out but they must have gotten a replenishment. She was wearing one too. Glad you found something similar!

    I just left a comment on your polyvore about the watch! I think I might look for that one in the girl's dept, rather than get another strap for the Michelle. And I have $20 in Nordstrom bucks!!

    Then it's free lol! Yes, I was planning on getting a white strap for my Michele for summer but since I just got this one I won't... and I saved quite bit of money. I know it's easy to change out those straps but I haven't tried it yet so always have to ask Hubby to do it.

    such a pretty combo...I love the jeans at that length to...something about it screams "summer is almost here." (I don't know why...it just does to me.)

    I also LOVE the bags. Esp. the one with the flowers!

    What a cute watch! The closest Nord. is one and a half hours from here, too bad! I love the KS bags too. I haven't had one since they were all the rage when they first came out, when they were nylon fabric! I may have to check these out!!
