Shoe LOVE {Zappos.com}

{found these random office shots online}

Do you shop at zappos.com? I do. Not only do they have an enormous selection of products but they have excellent customer service, a creative work environment, a positive vibe, a unique culture, employees that love their job & are one of the best 100 companies to work for. After reading the zappos.com 2009 culture book {I read it a while ago} I instantly loved the company & what they stand for & it turned me into one of their customers. There are so many aspects I found interesting about their company, the one that stuck out the most is the fact that each part of their office is decorated by a theme {so fun!}. Although I have a creative job I am surrounded by bland walls {no color, no artwork}, a boring work environment & people who are unhappy & lack passion for their job. I dream of decorating my day job office environment with inspiration posters, splashes of color, palm trees & large feathered birds. I thrive on inspiration and I believe you should surround yourself in an environment that keeps your senses & mind flowing & dreaming.

Did you know zappos.com has a sister site? 6pm.com filled with great priced merchandise! I just ordered a pair of boots I have been lusting over forever! I am so excited for them to arrive.



Weekend Fun {vintage shopping}

Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend! It always seems to go way too fast & before I know it it's Sunday night {and I am already thinking about all the projects I need to accomplish this week}. I finally took some "me" time & went vintage shopping over the weekend. I scored two floral dresses {a mini & a bohemian long dress } & a great silk blouse that looked brand new! Love me some good finds especially when they fit well.  I love discovering new vintage & thrift shops... do you have any favorites?

Gluten Free {Talenti}

Do you love a sweet creamy treat? I do! I randomly came across Talenti gelato & sorbet at Ralphs {I never shopped at Ralphs until my office gave me a gift card} this is the only grocer that I know of that carries these yummy treats. I have enjoyed all the flavors I have tried; Raspberry, Double Dark Chocolate, Tahetian Vanilla... LOVE them all. Head to your local Ralphs or Ralphs Fresh Fare to try them out... you will not be disappointed.

I live on a budget {saving for our adoption} so I am always happy when I spot an item I like for a good price. While out shopping the other day I stumbled upon these pants from Old Navy {I know this trend has been here for awhile now} they fit great & are currently on sale for less than ½ price. Multiple colors are available; black, camo, olive green, grey. Check out your local ON.

Silk Shorts {Madewell}

The electric blue immediatly caught my eye. I LOVE vibrant colors. These silk trouser shorts look so comfortable yet dressy at the same time.  I am adding these to my spring must have list.

FREEWAY {EYEWEAR}

The sun is at full strength this week & shades are a must for just walking to the car. For some reason I seem to be addicted to eyewear {basically I am just addicted to shopping} so when I just learned about FREEWAY EYEWEAR I knew I needed a pair! The names are cute {if your from LA/OC you would totally dig em} named after famous FREEWAYS. My personal favorite is FREEWAY 1... can you guess what it stands for, not only do I like it for its name{all my favorited beaches reside along side this highway} but the style is so sleek. I think I would like them in the both the tortoise & grey each color creates a different look and I could wear them with so many outfits.

Swim Away {Tori Praver}

Swim wear is hitting the sales floors just in time for this warm weather in California. I can not help but day dream about all the new suits I want & the beautiful tropical places I can wear them to{I wish I was going on a tropical getaway!}.  I have just discovered tori's swim wear line... love the mix n match pieces. There are so many I want it's hard to narrow it down! {For those of you who are a fan of one pieces tori offers some great ones}
