Say NO to Foam Flops
Usually when I shop at Ross, I don't expect to see any sandals slightly dressier than flip flops. I'm not referring to dress sandals. But sandals that are casual without the over-casual tacky flip flops. However, I was in luck while on my last trip to Ross. I thought to myself, "Forget the Havaianas, they're hopeless (to find). I'll get these instead!" The best part?... only $7.99!

Buys from the City
Most of yesterday's day was spent in San Francisco shopping with my friends after eating lunch at Buca di Beppo. When I'm in the city, I absolutely must make a stop for Urban Outfitters. I was elated when I discovered that the clearance items were an additional 50% off! =D I think we spent nearly two hours in that store. o.0 (Sorry, Roxi and Bro! =X)
Kimchi & Blue - Bright Stripes Cardigan $5
Floral Ruffle Umbrella $5
(I also bought a small wall hanging for $2.50 for my sister.)
One of my best friends, Connie, spoiled me with this necklace from Hot Topic! =D
Cupcake Cult - Blue Seahorse Necklace

Sister's Thrifted Heels
I love them so much I had to post about it. haha! I had wanted these, but they were a size six. Since my sister's that size, I demanded that she try them on, and she ended up buying them (only $2.99). =P I'm so envious! I love the details of these heels!

I picked up a vintage romper pattern for 29cents (along with the shorts from the previous post).

Fruitless Search
I've been on a frantic search trying to find a certain pair of sandals online that I saw someone from Wardrobe Remix wearing. Ebay doesn't have the color (black) I want in my size. All other stores on the internet are from another country, which I prefer not to buy from. ACCCKKK! Please let me know if you know where I can buy these Havaianas Flash Urban sandals (size 8/9 or 39/40) -- in store or online! I love them so much!
My second choice, if all else fails but which I don't love as much as Flash Urban, is the Havaianas Flash Way.

SwapSF
SwapSF is a project that orginizes all sorts of swaps in the city, such as clothing swaps (men only, women only, co-ed) and book swaps. At the door, you hand over your items, and then you're free to pick out annnyyything you want out of the whole stash contributed by everyone. Free music and refreshments are usually offered with the price of admission. I have yet to go to one, but they seem awesome! All the fun of the Flickr SwapShop group, but made even better by the atmosphere and browsing the items first-hand rather than just pictures on the internet! (And no paying for shipping!) Plus, all leftovers go to charities, so it's a win-win! For more information, go to the website, or go directly to their FAQs page.
The next swap, a co-ed clothing swap, is coming up soon!
More info.
Swapped: Vintage Dress
Eeek! It arrived today! I've been checking the mail like crazy the past several days waiting for this gorgeous dress. I swapped my green hobo bag for it with Arsenal Nothing. Once I opened it, I tried it on... and I haven't taken it off yet. hahaha! The material's so lightweight, so it won't be suffocating in warm/hot weather. I love it, I love it, I love it!!! =D She was really sweet, too, and included some green tea caramels, some cute sheets of notepad paper, and some stickers. teehee!
I'm a Flickr addict. =0

Selling My Swimsuits
Ok, so I changed my mind about the Patrick Robinson swimsuit. I feel too exposed in it, so I might return it. I'm also selling some of my older swimsuits. If you're interested, they're here.
I'll be saving up for the Damsel solid one-piece from Urban Outfitters. I really love vintage/vintage-inspired swimsuits.
The Sheer Goodness
I just love love LOVE sheer flowy tops and tunics. They're goreous and so chic. Plus, they're perfect for the summer weather! The lightweight material won't keep you sweating like a pig. And if you happen upon a breeze, you'll feel cool to the touch as you welcome the pleasant air flowing through your top. =)

Both bought from Charlotte Russe. First was bought on clearance for about $5! Second was bought for $18.99. (click pictures to enlarge)
