Great Buy: Target

I bought this dress last week at Target:

Mossimo Black: Smocked Knit Dress in Ink, $19.99 (also comes in Ebony)

I paired this dress with a long gold vintage chain that I have had forever, gold drop earrings from NY&Co, and nude strappy sandals that bought at Macy's years ago.

Maxi Dresses

I am obsessed with Maxi Dresses right now, but I have a hard time finding them. I have one cute Gap dress that I found at the outlets in San Marcos. I see them all the time on celebrities, but those are never in my price range. Has anyone seen any under $100?

Here are a few pics to inspire you. Celebs that are big supporters of the maxi dress are Jessica Simpson, Eva Longoria, Gwen Stefani, Nicole Richie, Eva Mendez, and Jessica Alba. These dresses are so comfy and look great with casual summer sandals, big sunglasses, and even a summer scarf.

I found this dress at Nordstorm's in the junior section for $68.00. I am considering it...what do you think? It comes in other colors like I actually like better. I think this would be cute paired with a denim jacket.

Great Gift Idea for Beach Lover or College Student

I just ordered my brother, Carter, a present for his 22nd birthday. Carter would never read this blog so I don't have to worry about blowing the surprise. Carter is a senior at Texas State and currently is loving the college lifestyle in San Marcos: floating the river, hanging out with this fraternity brothers, sleeping in and staying up late, etc.

When I found this product I immediatley thought of Carter. Reef makes a flip flop that actually has a bottle opener on the bottom of each shoe for sodas or any other beverage you may enjoy while on the beach or floating the river. Available in different colors for men and women.

Ladies, another fantastic product that Reef makes is a flip flop that has a compartment that slides out of the sole of the sandal to hold keys, cash, ID. Now you are never without the essentials without have to lug them around. Comes in different colors. Check out all of the style at http://www.reef.com/

More Than You Can Imagine

Houston has great shopping, but sometimes it can be overwhelming and hard to find a truly special store amongst the hundreds of shopping centers. More Than You Can Imagine is one of those Houston gems and really is more than you can imagine. The concept of the store of new and used designer clothes, new and used designer handbags (I'm talking LV, Prada, Gucci, Dior), shoes, jewelry, lingerie, denim, sunglasses and gift items. One of the best things I love about this store is you never know what you are going to find, but you know you will find something (usually a lot of somethings). The owner, Vicki Rizzo and all of her girls will treat you VIP and make sure you find just what you are looking for. If I EVER need a gift, this is where I go. You can find something for everyone (even guys) and every price range! I always know that whatever I give from this store will be unique and treasured. Plus they do free gift wrap that is gorgeous!

For all of you designer darlings, you can find great pieces that are like new, but without the guilt of paying full price. If you are looking for a specific piece you can let them know and if they ever get it in (they will) it's yours!

Trust me, this is the place to shop in Houston. We give it two thumbs up (Tucker gives his stamp of approval because the store is animal friendly too with a little yorkie named Olive who sometimes makes an appearance.

Happy Shopping!
