EASTER SUNDAY 2011 CHUCK STYLE

What did you do today?
Did you munch on some ham?
Go to church?
Hunt for Easter eggs?
Or was today just another Sunday-Funday for you?

Today was a little bit different for me.

This Easter Sunday 2011, I shoveled shit.

No, really.

I did.

And honestly it wasn't all that bad.

Because I spent the entire time laughing my ass off

And hanging out with the sister-cousin.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Try and top this next year...

;)

p.s. I move to the city in 7 days...

after posting this on twitter,

my friend D  had this to say:

I think he's right.

Get ready Brawl-timore, 

HERE I COME!!!

COOTD CASUAL ROUND UP

This week has been a little bit...

I'm not quite sure exactly how to describe this week.

I've overloaded on caffeine, finished my paper for grad school (FINALLY), realized my ass has increased in size due to my stress, lack of time for exercise, and horrible food consumption over the last 2 months..
Oh, and Friday I had a flat tire :(

On the other hand, my outfits for the liquor store have been pretty decent, considering I had to run to Target today and buy my lard ass a new pair of jeans, that I literally WORE OUT OF THE STORE because the ones that I had on today... well they just weren't cutting it (in my opinion).

I did learn that Target jeans are pretty damn comfy, and as a last minute/mad dash purchase (I was in and out of the store in 8 minutes), work out pretty well. I'll have to see how long these last.

Onto the outfits for this week:

Today's outfit...

($15 TJMaxx score -- Target tank -- Target Jeans $17.99)

The same shirt... 

Trying on at TJMaxx two nights ago

Kenneth Cole wallet 

(scored from Marshalls last year)

I love the BRIGHT green :)

Very easy to find in my purse

The MKors... 

My love :)

A stack of bracelets...

And a JCrew necklace that I've featured here as a headband

The FIRST pair of shorts this Spring!!

Was anyone else as excited as I was earlier this week!

The weather here in MD was in the 80s!!!!!!

Hence the shorts.

Which are DKNY from Marshalls

(I scored 2 pairs last month--high waisted--IM IN LOVE)

Top is from Target ($8 woooo!)

I hope everyone has a Happy Easter tomorrow!

and a good rest of the weekend :)

CRUSING HARD

I told you I was in the midst of a WEDGE-fest...

I've been in shoe browsing/daydreaming heaven lately... I'm trying to re-adjust my current job situation, and I am in NO PLACE what-so-ever to spend ANY money on shoes! Especially on heels that I rarely wear.

If you know me, you know how much of a shoe hard on I get, then I wear the shoes a total of 5 times and they end up stashed away in my closet... it's bad. Really.

BUT I really, really want to branch out.

I want to break free... so to speak and get a cute casual pair of heeled sandals, or nice pumps, or something other than FLATS and BOOTS... that OVERTAKE my closet.

Mr.A comment the other day when I wore flip-flops (woo-hoo 56 degree weather!) that it was strange not seeing me in a pair of boots since I wear them ALL the TIME! :)

So here are a few of my shoe pics... some of my shoe crushes... eh... it's just some my shoe hard-ons for the moment:

:)

Lauren Ralph Lauren Skylar Sandal - $47.98
Jones New York Lagoon Platform Pumps -- $59.95

Aerosoles Plushing Bride -- $69.00

Nine West Entire Sandal -- $78.95

Ann Taylor LOFT Wide Strap Wedge -- $79.50

Nine West Guinevere T-Strap Wedge -- $78.95

Also, I found a pair of Franco Sarto heels that I like... BUT then found a pair of Target knock-offs on their website! Both sites offer different colors! :)

Yay! Found a deal!

Franco Sarto [$78.95] Merona [$26.99]

SALES, STEALS & DEALS

Here is a new little feature I am going to try out...

SALES, STEALS & DEALS

I get bored throughout the day and find tid-bits all around the internet that I think some of you out there might like.

Lately I've been on this wedge kick. I have been browsing like crazy for a pair of wedge heels, in my size GINORMOUS of course, specifically for Stacey's wedding, and for casual/nice outfits for this spring/summer.

PLUS, with Mr.A being in the 6'4" range I've been wanting to try out a pair of heels with him ;) [but that is only after my stupid broken toe/sprained ankle heals... I tried to squeeze into the new pair of NineWest heels that I got from eBay yesterday. WHAT A JOKE! I could barely stand. My foot was in Ridiculous amounts of pain].

I stumbled across this pair of Pelle Moda wedges on Lori's Shoes and then went looking for a cheaper/knock off pair.

Pelle Moda
[$112.00]

I wound up going to endless.com and found these three similar babies which all happen to be near identical to one another AND are all CHEAPER than the Pelle Moda wedges.

BCBGeneration
[$79.95]
Wanted
[$33.81]
J Renee
[$49.47]

All of the lower priced wedges come in various colors: Black, White, Orange, Brown, Stone, Green, Fuchsia, etc... Only the Pelle Modas come in Black or Beige.

Found two more VERY similar pairs over on Amazon:

Bandolino
[$69.00]
Ralph Lauren
[$46.35]
