Council of Fashion Designers of America awards – My favorite look

57697156

I’m  not a Gossip Girl fan (however that won’t stop me from watching NYC Prep on Bravo this week — looks very juicy) but Blake Lively definitely was my fav dressed for the CFDA awards last week.

She looks fresh, fun and sexy — exactly the look I’ll be going for next February when my best friend and I head to Miami and the Florida Keys to celebrate our 30th birthdays. That’s right — I’m already shopping.

Update: My Havaianas arrived

There was some discussion in the comments over at Budget Diva that flip flop world had scammed customers in the past. Just wanted you to know my order arrived yesterday. All is good!

Totally havin’ Havaianas

I know I’m late to this game, but I bought my first pair of Havaianas last month and THEY ARE TO DIE FOR.

 

Besides the really cute styles and prints, these flip flops are soooooo comfortable. Now, I’ve talked about my feet problems, which make it very hard to walk anywhere in the summer in anything cute. Besides exercising our new puppy, my husband and I live within walking distance of the ultra fun and cute neighborhood in St. Louis. If we drive there, it’s seriously just sad.

Enter Havaianas. I know I’ve heard of them before, maybe a stupid mention on the Real Housewives of Orange County or something, but when I saw that the Gap was selling a few select pairs I took a second look.

 

Well, the second look had me over at Nordstrom in West County one night just before closing. The Gap only carried a few basic colors, and the ones at Nordstrom’ convinced me to throw down the $24 bucks. Since then, I’ve been singing the praises of the Slim Havianas to everyone and their mother.

 

And when I saw this lovely post bythe Budget Diva about a 65 percent off sale, I knew it was time to gift them. Both my mom and sister have birthdays later this summer, so I grabbed up a few pairs.
