Let the birthday celebration begin....

I love the summer for many reasons: warm weather, long lazy days, time to do nothing, tons of shopping to do, and of course MY BIRTHDAY! My birthday is in July and I've already started getting prezzies! Yay! Loves it. I always say they're not necessary but I love them just the same!

The first little gifty I got was from one of my fav stores, Anthropologie. They sent me my 15% birthday coupon! I just love their little packaging - simply adorable. Can't wait to go and see all the pretties I am sure to want!


Then, my Bestee Cathy came and surprised me with my graduation/birthday gift! We've started sewing (if you can call what I have done sewing) and she knows that I want to do more. I love it! The Hello Kitty design makes it pretty enough to leave out, at least I'm hoping H won't mind looking at it once I get started being crafty! I have a few projects in mind to complete this summer....I better get started!

Luxury Shopping for the Twee Recessionista Fashionista

There are tons of websites that offer deep discounts to many designer brands you know and love. I wanted to pass my favorites along to you. Some require invites so if you want one let me know and I will send you an email inviting you to enjoy the savings!

I've seen loads of designer brands represented on these sites. Anything from C&C California to William Rast, Citizens of Humanity, Zac Posen, Vera Wang Purple Label, and even - are you ready...(gasp) Christian Louboutin! I KNOW, you're dying right??? I recently bought a pair of Superga Italian sneakers for 50% off. Regular price at Bloomingdales $80.00, Haute Look price $35.00! What could make a girl happier than a really great sale? Not much, trust me I know!

So, here they are, my favorite sites with nothing but designer labels for less! Happy shopping!

Jellies, they're back!

I love love love getting packages in the mail. I know H does NOT. However, when I saw this box waiting for me my heart skipped a beat! I had noticed a girl wearing some super twee shoes one day while in my law class. Yes, I know I should have been listening intently to something or other regarding classified employee termination laws but instead I was drooling over my neighbor's footwear. When break finally came, I leaned over and asked her who her shoes were made by and where she had found them. She told me they were BCBG and she found them at Off 5th, but sadly, it was months ago! I was then determined to find them! Luckily my classroom was wi-fi equipped, Google Gods please be kind. She didn't know the name of the actual shoe so searching BCBG flats might prove to be harder than it seemed. But Twee reader(s) you know me...I am diligent if nothing else. If there is a shoe to be found I'm your girl! Sure enough, I found it on Endless.com with free overnight shipping to boot!
These shoes are actually jellies! Remember the jellies we used to wear way back in the day? But these are not just the old run of the mill jellies we used to get for super cheap and they would break apart after a few weeks of wear. Oh no girls, these are high quality jellies (is there such a thing or am I justifying this purchase, wink wink) complete with adornments on the toe box. Please take a moment to admire them with me...

Plump It Up!

I read about the new Max Factor 2000 Calorie Lash Plumper/Mascara and I've been hemming and hawing about getting a lash plumper, but can't swallow the usual $100+ price tag that comes along with it. So, when I heard about this and read the reviews I thought I'd give it a try...I will begin tomorrow and blog any results I find. The box claims to fatten the lashes for a dramatic look. I'll be the judge of that!

Twee Look of the Week

I am in love with a blog I just discovered called iamstyle-ish.com which has this super adorable girl who blogs about her outfits, shopping, design, and photography. I love her "lookbook" posts and thought we should have one too! So, here is my first attempt. It's kind of ugly and grey out today so I did throw a black cardi on for warmth but wanted to show the cuteness of this blouse without it instead.

Blouse: JCrew Outlet - (Yay)
Jeans: Seven for all Mankind - Dojo
Shoes: Report

I'll try to smile more next time, H was kind of annoying me about this... ;)
