New Kicks!!!

Ta da! I got some cute new Onitsuka Tigers when I took a visit to the Journeys at Jordan Creek Mall in Des Moines. They were both uber-clearance and my size and strange and cute and unique. Des Moines kids must not like Tigers like Iowa City kids do because if we had these puppies at our store, they would sell out in about 2 seconds flat. I love having a discount cause both pairs, including tax, were about $30 bucks!

Hello Kitty Shooooooes!

In honor of her 35th birthday, Hello Kitty teamed up with Asics to make some bomb-ass Limited Edition kicks, which I happen to want really badly!!!!

Go to Sanrio.com if you wanna buy them for me:)

Hangin' Out at Journeys

We try to have plenty of fun at Journeys and I have tried to add personality and spunk to each day. More than anything, I am very proud of my store and my job and feel that taking ownership for something greater than myself is the key to going further and becoming successful. I don't think that being a store manager is the top.... I want to go further. I either want to be a district or regional manager or own my own store.

So drum roll please...... Here are some photos of us being goofs at work:)

I like my job and have alot of fun everyday. It is well worth the work I put into it.

My Ikea Expedit Bookshelf

I like my new Ikea Expedit bookshelf so much that I decided to blog about it! Seriously though, this thing has been my savior, as it holds pretty much everything I own and keeps it organized and thoughtfully displayed. I am all about it! This bookshelf takes up half of the wall and is taller than me. Strangely enough, it has very few books on it but we won't worry about that.

I Adore the New Tokidoki Shoes!

Ahhhhhh!

The new Tokidoki shoes for Onitsuka Tiger are the cutest yet! I totally want these and for only $115 bucks on pre-order they can be mine:)

Shoes That Give Me a Special Feeling

Um, can you say cute?! What a delight to find such perfect shoes, in perfect condition, and a perfect fit. Oh, and did I mention I only paid $18 bucks for them? I feel like a lucky lady for sure!

Yesterday, I had a bit of extra time so I strolled down to Revival in downtown Iowa City, Iowa. Revival and I have had a long standing relationship together. When they first opened about 5 years ago, I was lucky enough to sell my hand sewn goods at the boutique. The store became such a great success that it moved to a far larger location and does killer business bringing in the perfect mix of new goods, one-of-a-kind items, and consigned vintage finds. These Gianni Bini's were no doubt a pricey purchase for whoever previously owned them and I had the luck of finding them in like-new condition for way cheap. Hell yes!

Mag Love

I am being serious here: Few things in life are better than getting a cool magazine in the mail. Totally makes my day pulling a bright, sassy magazine out of the mailbox and to flip though those glossy pages is just heaven! MISSBEHAVE Magazine is the ultimate cool girl, hipper-than-thou eye candy you have always dreamed of. Trust me on this one.

Every month, cool ladies such as Chloe Sevigny, M.I.A., Lily Allen, and Bijou Philips grace the cover and the many pages to follow do not disappoint. The writing is witty and hilarious, the fashion is colorful and playful, and the girls are gorgeous but real. Love it!
