Cynthia Vincent for Target: The Gladiator Wedges in Cognac


Running out the door but wanted to post a few quick snaps. I saw your comment on Gigi's blog, Peggy! :)

These are super comfy, especially for the height. The strap at the ankle snaps and the other three do not but look the same. The strap that goes back around your heel and the next two down have a little elastic sewn onto the straps where they meet the insole.

I took an 8 1/2 which is what I wear in Tory Burch. These are a little adventurous for me -- since I am usually wearing ballet flats, classic flat sandals, or Tretorns -- so I am looking forward to figuring out what to wear with them.

Miss Trish of Capri for Target 2010


Sometime back in March I noticed these uber cute Miss Trish of Capri sandals for girls, so I took my two in to choose a pair. My six year old chose the white with seahorse, and my eight year old chose the brown with turtle. I was really, really hoping some mommy versions would appear - and when I heard they were I zipped over to Target to hopefully score a pair or two.

I came home with the white and black yesterday, so here are some pics. (I tried on 8.5 and 9 and went with the 9s... either would have been ok and I typically wear one of those sizes.) I went with the larger because I can't stand even a hint of toe or heel overhang on the front or back of my sandals.


Mommy and Minnie - I love it - thanks, Target!
Girls' are $19.99, Womens' are $24.99


the same jeweled seahorse detailing on both


you can slide the side straps up to get a snugger fit


detail of the black coral branch flat sandal


the decoration is a little hard on the top of my foot - I may need to stick a little cushioned Band-Aid on the underside... same as the Tory Burch Kelseys


check before you buy! the strap on the right sandal (on the left above) is considerably shorter than on the left one -- I have to buckle the right on the very last hole and the left around the first hole to get the same fit

(update: I was able to exchange this morning for a pair with same-length straps on each shoe... and Bonus: I happened upon an endcap with a few pairs of Cynthia Vincent shoes out already, and bought the Gladiator Wedges in cognac... Fabulous Florida Mommy has some IRL pics up today and I'll have them in an OOTD before too long, hopefully!)


and aren't these cute?! (I didn't see a mommy version)... love the boxes too with the swimming-pool-reflection interior... Barbie might like these!


the turtle detail


I won't be blogging for a few days... Spring soccer, birthday party season, different events... but I'll be back soon! Happy Weekend!

update 5/21: IRL pics here

update 4/20: thanks so much to Natalie, who let me know in the comment section that this is the "Tegan Tunic Top" and is now available online here.

Fabulous find at Target today! This scroll print tunic is light and airy 100% cotton, nicely detailed, and in a beautiful cool blue, Greek-Isle-y kind of print. From the Merona Collection. I can't wait to wear it with white capris and strappy silver sandals or ballet flats. I don't see it online yet.



Top Scroll Print 254675 $26.99

I did run in to Target this morning for dishwasher detergent and Band-Aids, I promise - but I couldn't leave this tunic hanging on the rack. I may have also gone to check out the Miss Trish of Capri sandals... reviews on two pairs of those will be coming up!

Happy Friday!

Jo Cupcake Ladybug Cupcakes



I found these pretty tins of cupcake mix/deco at World Market a couple weeks ago and decided it would be just the thing for an easy, fun Girl Scout meeting snack. The cake actually tasted really good - I think I detected a little almond flavoring (?). At any rate, the kids really enjoyed them. I didn't use the frosting mix - I went with a whipped vanilla of the tubbed variety. The white paper liners are not included in the kit.





And -- did anyone else make that Kraft Foods bunny cake? So easy and fun for the little ones!
