Zappos has everything!
This is probably old news for some of you, but it’s been a while since I stopped by zappos.com, and they’ve started selling clothes now? It’s no longer a mega shoe store. What can’t good ol’ Zappos do? So I have to check out the clothes. They have a wide range of brands and price points. These are some of the summer looks that I wouldn’t mind getting into.
Betsey Johnson - Gerber Daisies Dress (Aqua) - Apparel
$325. Super cute! Love the vertical bow and the whimsical daisy print.
MISS SIXTY - Allison Singlet (Bright Yellow) - Apparel
$119. You dare wear this tiny little short dress? I hope so! If not, you can definitely wear it over a bikini as a cover up on the beach.
Ben Sherman - Eaton Sleeveless Dress (Crimson) - Apparel
$100. Gingham always emerges as the weather gets warmer and sunnier. It’s time to have picnics and play in the park more often. This dress is utterly adorable.
Rip Curl - Sea Shell Dress (Fluorite Green) - Apparel
$50. Such a flattering shape this dress has. If you have an hour glass shape, this will be perfect for you to show off your curves. The green shade is soft and neutral.
…Lost - Verdugo Dress (White) - Apparel
$36. How cool is this print? I stared at it for too long and got a little light-headed, lol.
kensie - Drapey Jacket (Slate Multicolor) - Apparel
$78. A step-up from a light cardigan for a bit more dressy look. Perfect to be paired with a sun dress for work.
Lacoste - Sport Retro M10 Fitness Bag (Lacoste Green)

Splurge v.s. Steal - Miu Miu bag
Miu Miu Oversized matelasse tote
($1,590) has been a hot bag for quite a while now. Miu Miu really has some staying power despite being so trendy at the same time. So… it doesn’t looks like it’s going to go on sale anytime soon.
UrbanOutfitters doesn’t disappoint. You can get this awesome Deux Lux Pintuck Satchel for $68, definitely a steal. Love the seafoam green color too, strangely.
White handbags
I bought a couple of new print dresses. So I wanted to use one of my old white bags to go with my dress and found that they aren’t in such great shape, either stained or bent out of shape after being in the storage bins for so long. I really need to learn how to store my bags properly. In the mean time I need a new white bag, something simple with subtle details, and of course it has to be roomy and comfortable to carry. A white handbag is as essential as the little white dress in the summer!

Sometimes I just want a funky bag
I was jonsing for a new funky bright-colored handbag for the summer. This Mikko Patent Spai Bag totally reminded me of Marni’s handbag, but I wasn’t about to break my bank for a Marni’s bag yet, so this one was perfect, it’s only $78. It’s super roomy, it can hold everything I need in a day and an extra pair of shoes. It also comes with a shoulder strap. I also wanted the purple one, but I decided on the cheery yellow shade instead. When I asked my guy “do you like my new bag?”, he gave me a puzzled look and said “errr, yes, it’s very funky.” Lol. Guys they will never understand.
Cute things - Scopy’s “I love cats” totes
Speaking of cotton totes, I just couldn’t resist when I saw this, Cotton Twill Tote Bag - “I Love Cats More Than Anyone Else Does” ($38) from a Japanese brand called Scopy. Fellow cat lovers, raise your hand, lol.
And if you don’t necessarily want to shout it out to the whole world, there’s a more subtle version, Cotton Twill Tote Bag - “LOVE CAT” $22.
Leftover Bags Totes
Seems like everybody has their own favorite eco-friendly totes. And now pretty much every store offers its own reusable shoppers. I’ve collected about a dozen. My Mango tote is the most durable one I’ve used so far because of its tight thick canvas. It’s not the cutest but it’s really reliable, great to bring to the grocery store. I’m always looking for cute ones too. Check out these organic-cotton canvas totes from Leftover Bags. I especially like the fun graphics incorporated with the recycle symbol. At 16″ x 17″, they sit snuggly on your shoulder, $38 exclusively at shopbop.com.

Second-hand shopping is hard work…
but very enjoyable. I went second-handing on Saturday, I didn’t score big. I know it’s partly my own fault ’cause I don’t have the patience to comb the racks. I did found this oversize John Hort handmade leather clutch with a gold shoulder chain at Goodwill. John Hort was a handmade handbag brand from Vancouver, Canada in the 60s. I wish I knew more about the label. Ya know the metal-chained clutches have come back, I’ve seen lots at the mall, but I wanted to get a second-hand one. This one is still in excellent condition. It’s pretty roomy inside and has two divided compartments that are expandable, much more practical than all my other clutches.
After going to the second-hand stores, I wasn’t ready to go home yet so I hit the mall for a few frivolous buys. I found these peep-toe slingbacks at Costa Blanca. I wasn’t looking for shoes, but they are super comfy so I had to get them.
Bottega Veneta Butterfly intrecciato bag
Let me just close my eyes and dream a little……If I had $3,000 to spend on a bag, I’d spend it on this beauuuutiful Bottega Veneta Butterfly intrecciato bag ($2,820). Bottega Veneta always makes such refined and timeless bags. This one is no exception. The beautiful butterfly detail takes it up a notch, making it current with the spring season. *sigh*.
Try your luck at Piperlime
While I am running an awesome contest (if I may so myself, hehe :), I have to let you know that Piperlime is giving away a bag a day from 4/7-4/27! Customers can play once a day for a chance to instantly win an amazing bag from brands like Marc by Marc Jacobs and Kooba. Go there and play now
I could really use one of these crisp pretty white bags.

Gap Spring Sale is on
Has anybody checked out Gap spring sale and bought anything yet? There’s been so much talk about going back to basics and classics in print media and blogs alike, Gap seems to be really benefitting from it. My local Gap store seems extra crowded thesedays. Of course sale doesn’t hurt either. I’ve been wanting to add some simple but adorable blouses and shirt dresses for work. So I think I’m going to pick up a few of these.
Women: Ruffled gingham shirt - pink gingham
$39.50 $24.99
Women: Tie-belt top - celestial blue
$38 $27.99
Women: Sleeveless belted dress - mayfair khaki
$64.50 $44.99
Women: Pleated shirt dress - true navy
$69.50 $39.99
And you gotta have one of these, it’s a summer essential.
Women: Color-trimmed tote - pixie green
$39.50 $19.99
Juice Couture’s weekend chic
Juicy Couture’s got some amazing sailor-chic weekend attires and accessories. Some of the flip-flops I’m not a huge fan of, but they are doing a good job with the spring stuff. I am particularly liking this Pleated Chiffon and Jersey Dress $198. Love the delicate neckline and sleeves.
Couture Canvas Red Carpet Tote $175. And this canvas tote is quite adorable in the light pink print. It’s perfect for going to the market on the weekend.
Juicy Couture Violet Sunglasses $150. And I love the softer color of these shades, very feminine, plus the light pink earpieces match the pink canvas tote. Albeit it’s on the inside, which is better ’cause that is more subtle.
