Fantasy Friday: Whatevs

That's my new slang word for whatever...it's so going to catch on. Trust me, I totally invent words all the time and it's hot.
So I started last night grabbing up images of things that caught my eye. I didn't really go for a theme...maybe I should start going with a theme...we'll see, it may make it easier. So if any of you have suggestions of things you'd like to see, feel free to leave me suggestions in the comments. I'm also showing some things that I've had in my little folder forever and I've just been waiting for the right time/theme to show them...so I'm showing them now...they are both shoes and there's actually just two things I've been holding onto forever.
Onward:
The first is the Betsey Johnson shoe. I think we're all aware that I love her and I love (most) of her shoes and these shoes named, "Chip" make me happy. They make me have hope that someday the sun will come out for longer the 45 seconds and that all will be right with Spring. Chip is $190 but I've held onto these for so long who knows...maybe they're on sale somewhere in cyber world. Thank you Chip...you've pulled me throw some rainy days.
Next up is this great circle skirt...I just realized my first three items are all polka dots...there's your theme...for the first three. Anyway, my friend Jessica let me in on a little secret...called Down East Basics. They have modest cute clothes and I really love this skirt, it's got the nautical colors and big buttons, this could be a trend anyone could pull off because it's not too severe. I love the pleating and it looks like it would move very well too. This little Maritime skirt is $24.99, it also comes in green with smaller polka dots.
I really want this shirt. It is adorable. It comes in this great yellow (which is my favorite) and also in navy (very nautical looking) I chose to show this color because you can see the polka dots really well. It's completely sheer so you'd have to have a great white undershirt with it...I think we all know which undershirt is my fave. This shirt will look amazing with a skirt for church and dark denim. Loves it! The Bella Top is $22.99.
I thought these shoes were beautifully made, I love the flowers and the shape of the sandal is very popular right now. This is the Prada flower flat and it's $590. Yes, $590.
I thought I would show another high end look that you can find somewhere else cheaper. This is a Diane von Furstenburg skirt, entitled, "Neon" and it's $275. Now I really love her clothes and if I was rich I would buy her clothes because her story is amazing and she makes things that look beautiful on women. The Neon skirt is of course following suit with the nautical trend (it also comes in red). It's cute I like it but it should be said that not everyone will feel comfortable pulling it off. I don't think I would wear it but that's because it would accentuate my negatives...if I were thinner I might buy a piece like this, with these buttons and what not. The point again, ask a girlfriend before you buy or go out in public (note: it must be someone you trust and that will tell you the truth).
So here is my knock-off. Again, from Old Navy this "Sailor Pencil" is on sale for $19.99. I would also like to add that Old Navy has things (this skirt included) that are only available online, which is kind of cool because you could purchase something that not a lot of people have. At least not people in your town. This skirt also comes in a lighter antique denim.
I really love this dress. So cute with a white shirt under and with some leggings. Adorable. You could do a lot with this dress...use your imagination. And the best part? If you fit into sizes XS-L this baby is only $19.80 online at Forever21. Awesome!! I of course do not fit into that category but I thought, why deprive my skinnier friends from a cute dress that's such a great deal! This is the Rebecca Denim Dress.
Now I went from polka dots to denim and now I've reached my totally random stuff. I loved this cashmere hoodie, totally cute, right? You can buy it if you have $180. That's right, who in there right mind would spend $180 on something your child will grow out of in 3 months or less.
Just for the record I saw a tie that looked exactly like this at TJ Maxx for $12.99, that's right, a pretty decent deal on a name brand tie. Of course if you want to buy this name brand, Kiton, it will be $235...FOR A TIE! You must really love you daddy to get this.
I chose this umbrella because it keeps pouring outside. It will be sunny for .5 minutes and then the rain starts pounding against my window. I of course do not own an umbrella because I am a true Oregonian. I think there might be a broken one on our porch...not the point. This pretty umbrella is $145! Ouch...I think I'd go without. Or I'd go to Wal-Mart and they have $1 umbrellas at the check out line...hmm, such difficult decisions.
This necklace caught my eye right away. It's breathtaking. It's a shaker necklace, which I thought was pretty cool. It's designed by Renee Lewis and in this necklace is rubys and sapphires. She also has others with different jewels, like blue sapphires, black diamonds and regular diamonds. I thought this one was just so pretty and colorful for spring. Now if only I could convince my husband to get a loan for $19,000 I can totally rock it out. Or maybe I just wont buy it at all. I bet I could make my own with rhinestones.
Last but not least I've held onto this shoe for several months. I've been thinking where does this shoe fit in? I have to have a reason to post such a crazy shoe. Her name is Mad Mary...very great naming. She's made by Christian Louboutin and his shoes have been made very famous by many stars...namely Christina Aguliera. I decided today was the day I would share Mad Mary because all I want to do is strap her on and kick my foot up a rain clouds bum! Maybe that will help encourage them to go away and the Spring sunshine can finally come. The End.

LOVE the green shirt. Your last comments about Mad Mary made me laugh, too.

I want that necklace soooooo bad. It is so pretty!! I also love the green shirt and if I wasn't going to be getting very fat very soon I would totally be tempted to buy it. I am considering buying that jean dress from Forever 21 though. Looks like I can have some room to grow.

ps - I also absolutely love the Betsey Johnson shoes. Just thought I would mention that.

Nice...I love those shoes at the very top and your comment on mad money.

Love the first shoe, skirt and shirt. So springy or nice weatherish.

The first shoe was my favorite. I LOVE heels!!!

btw... i think you're trying to butter me up for something 'cause that is in no way me singing on that video. Shane and I both sound like alley cats howling at a full moon. We are not singers!

As far as the camera goes, we just use the video option on our digital camera. And actually, that movie I played was shot with a really old digi camera that we had that took really nasty video. The new one we have still isn't anything special, but it gets the job done!

I love Downeast, they have the cutest stuff. Shade Clothing is my other fave.

Yay for the green shirt! Check out my Easter blog for a preview of what it would look like on- that was my Easter pick! I love DownEast Basics, and there are seriously at least 2 in every mall around here, so I have no choice but to shop from there!
