While my husband was talking on the phone with his brother about sirius satellite radio, I was at the computer doing some online shopping for clogs. I heart clogs. A wardrobe staple during the summer, the clogs are still highly popular in winter. We just need to wear it with a pair of heavy patterned socks or tights. Would you wear them in the cold months? I adore the clogs from www.miljoshop.com.

Have you checked out the Fall Collection of Promod? I was walking around the mall last week when I stopped to check out its collection. Boy, they are absolutely gorgeous. Love all the designs and fall colours. I have a thing for camel, brown and earthy tones. Below are a few of my favourite items at their store.

Printed smocked top

Turn-up shorts in faux suede. I have my eye on this pair of cute shorts.

Straight Leg Trousers

Fringed High Heeled Slip-Ons. This is in my shopping list as well 😉

Market Totes

I go grocery shopping once a week. Most stores have opted for the “No Shopping Bag” Day during weekends. Hence I have been using a recycle bag to keep my groceries, you know those free recycle bags you get when you have signed up for some telecommunication package. I really need to get a more fun and colourful shopping bag like this Barcelona Stripe Market Tote. It is durable and has a roomy interior. I love the bold stripes and the bright colours. Using the Barcelona Stripe Market Tote will definitely brighten up my shopping.

Save Your Bra In The Washer

barbara

How do you wash your bras? Do you hand-wash them or just toss them into the washing machine with the rest of your clothes? If you do the later like me, then perhaps you may often find that your brassieres are torn or tattered after each wash. Here is something which can help you to save some money from buying new bras. The Bra Saver will protect your garment or other delicates in the washer. This cylinder-shaped wash bag that provides room for all your fine washables without crushing padded or underwire bras. How cool is that? Besides blackhead removal, this Bra Saver from Lane Bryant will be in my shopping list this week.

Tote Bag For Men

It is not easy to find a nice tote for the man. He does not want something that is too girly-looking but big enough to carry all his necessities. While browsing the internet, I came across this Tote Bag for Men from TempleBags.com. It is made out of re-purposed WWII military issue parachutes. Cool eh? What’s great about this nylon bag is it is lightweight and can be folded into a 4″ x 4″ pocket-size when not in use. Let me check with my man and see if he likes it or not.

Vintage Cushions

I was helping a friend to look for an online printing company for her work when I stumbled upon some lovely cushions at JaneFosterVintageCushions.com. I like the cute Spring Chicken designs on the cushions. They are actually hand silk screen printed with based ink onto good quality cotton linen mix fabric. Pretty, don’t you think so? They are perfect for the children’s bedroom or for those who like a little whimsical touch to your home

Totes Made From Recycled Material

barbara

I love totes made of fabrics, especially those made from gunny, burlaps or recycled material. I was browsing Etsy.com and stumbled upon some lovely totes at Vintage Junky Style. The totes were constructed using scraps from vintage grain sacks. How lovely! The totes are very sturdy and have been prewashed for softness. Another reason why I like these totes is because each of them also feature a removable flower corsage whihc was created from new and vintage materials. If you are looking for a beach bag, diaper bag or a bag for grocery shopping, just head over to Vintage Junky Style and check them out.

Looking Stylish While Pregnant

I remember when I was pregnant 6 years ago, it was so hard to find stylish, comfortable and affordable maternity clothes. I hated those tent-like dresses that made me looked like a whale. Pregnant mommies now are far more lucky. Besides popping the best prenatal vitamin, they have access to a wide range of chic maternity tops, bottoms and dresses available. Some of the fabulous clothes which I like are from BumpStyle.com and BellaBluMaternity.com.
