25% off Repetto ballet flats at Calypso

by grechen on October 29, 2009 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I try not to repeat myself across my blogs too much, but since I posted the Calypso-Celle 25% off Friends & Family coupon this AM over at grechenscodes.com I felt compelled to tell you guys over here in case you don’t visit. Which you should, by the way :)

The code is “girlfriend” for 25% off through 11/1 and seems to be valid on everything (including sale items). I have a few things in my cart at the moment, including these Repetto Flats:

repetto bb flats 25% off

but OMG, look at these in pink patent!!!!!

repetto bb flats 25% off

I can tell you now that I have a proper fitting pair of Reptto bb flats, they are heavenly. I’ve never wanted to put a pair of shoes on so much as these. With the coupon code, they’d be just under $200, which is expensive, but not really…if you wear flats as much as I do, these will be well worth it. Just a reminder, I’ve found these to run at least a 1/2 size small, some people size up a whole size from their regular shoe size. I’m an 8 and do well with the 38.5, although they did need some wearing to stretch out a bit.

This counts as no pants, right? You know what the best thing is about legging? They’re PERFECT when you don’t shave your legs. TMI, maybe, but I’m excited about it.

etsy Find: Embroidered Geometric Necklaces

by grechen on October 28, 2009 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I keep seeing this etsy seller and her necklaces featured on various blogs (the latest) and I can now safely say I’m obsessed. I’m also a bit jealous, because I’ve been meaning to take up embroidery for quite some time now, but haven’t found the time, nor have I picked up all the supplies I’ll need. I do have a really beautiful, simple canvas my step-mom bought me for my birthday a couple of years ago…all I need to do is sit down and start.

Anyway, I love these hand-embroidered geometric print necklaces by etsy seller, spinthread. They kind of remind of those coloring books I used to do in high school & college with the very detailed geometric prints (do you know the ones I’m talking about?). I would spend hours coloring those with colored pencils…

Outfit: Look! No pants!

October 26, 2009

That’s right, there are no pants in this outfit. And I’m going to try and go pants-less all week – only wearing dresses and/or skirts. I’ve gotten really comfortable (and boring) recently with my jeans-only outfits, and after picking up this super-comfortable sweater dress at Anthropologie this weekend, I determined that I LOVE dresses and [...]

Outfit: James Perse + Alexander Wang Coco Duffel

You know what I’m doing today? going through bags and bags and bags deciding what to get rid of in the “moving sale.” It’s harder than I thought! Even though I pretty much decided I’d get rid of everything but just a few bags that I REALLY REALLY love, and that tend to be on [...]
