it’s probably not as relaxing when you work there

July 28, 2009

the State Office Campus in Albany has so many peaceful looking  little nooks and crannies that my blackberry camera can’t begin to do justice.  And c’mon, how cool is it to have basketball courts at your office!

Now I’ve never worked there, so maybe it’s not a big deal to employess still on site, but I still think it’s kind of  enchanting for an office complex.

the $200 flip flop

April 3, 2009

I am OBSESSED with flip flops.   OBSESSED.   Perhaps it was my time as a Floridian, perhaps it was my time as an ultra relaxed dj…regardless, I love the uber casual flop of flip on my feet, and am always on the search for the next great pair.

I can’t recall the most amount of money I’ve dropped on flip flops, I’m guessing a hot pink pair of Reefs would rate right up there.  I suppose if you were to take my entire flip flop collection (well over 30 pairs) into consideration it would be decent amount of cash.

While searching for HOT flip flops for 2009, I came across Havaianas, which claim to be the most comfortable rubber flip flop…ever, seriously?   I’m working on ordering a pair to do my own A test, but a quick search of their  website did yield some very interesting (and slightly fab) flip flops like the Crystal Mesh, which retails at about $195!

They may look like normal everyday flip flops, but apparently they’ll make you “sparkle“, which is reason enough to drop almost $200 on flip flops…or laugh at the price during this ever fab recession. 

Regardless of what you spend on your sandals this summer, break out the flip flops and enjoy!

Clean and comfy

March 25, 2009

tvproducts4less_2044_8934951I was thumbing through one of those grocery checkout line magazines and was totally excited (yea I shouldn’t type that) to see slippers that dust!   YES, now my lazy morning shuffling can actually remove the dust bunnies!   Love it…and yes I realize JUST how nerdy that makes me sound.  You can score the Dust Mop Slippers for the LOW LOW LOW (that’s my infomercial speak) of $6.95.

Mission: find lookalikes to Reese Witherspoon’s Balenciaga pumps

March 25, 2009

When I saw photos of Reese Witherspoon at the premiere of Monsters vs. Aliens I was instantly drawn to her Balenciaga pumps

Absolutely adorable, and definitely $1,045…not so easy during a recession.   I’m on the hunt for another knockoff, this one is definitely going to be tricky…peep toe that are grey and yellow, we’ll see.   So far I’ve found these (definitely not spot on, but we’ll get there)

yellow-zig-zag

Eley Kishmoto (a little too zig zaggy) about $182
