Hi everyone!
Before I get to my feature of the day - Happy birthday, Dad! Dad reads my blog quite frequently...love you!
As some of you may know, in addition to my full-time gig, I occasionally work in a local clothing boutique a few weekend days per month. In said boutique I am often walking around the store, helping customers, ringing up, etc. i.e. - I'm not sitting on my ass all day. Naturally, I routinely put up a fight with myself similar to the following...
Coley: I want to wear heels to work, it just looks so much better overall.
Me: Sure it does, but let's be real, your feet will start hurting after two hours of walking around.
Coley: True, but they look SO much better...especially since I am sporting the inseam of a 10 year-old.
Me: Thanks for the dig. Ok...let's try to find the most comfortable heels in the closet...
So, yes. I usually throw on heels and bring flats with me, because let's be real, around 2 pm, my feet are screaming. To counteract the foot pain, if I break down and wear heels, I have been sporting wedges. I LOVE wedges. Hubs thinks that wedges are funny little shoes - all wedge-like. Durrr.
But I proclaim my love for wedges - they are exponentially more comfortable than heels and still give my midge legs a mighty lift.
Below is a set of some slammin' wedges that I have had my eye on....especially those super fun tie-up Sam Edelmans and the gold tube Dolce Vita wedges. Also, I saw the DVF brown platforms at Nordies just this weekend (see the bottom right corner) - they are STUNNING.
Does anyone else love wedges as much as I do?
And if you're still shopping...

Real Life Review: Nordstroms Vigoss Ritz Jeans
The photos below are the Vigoss Ritz Jeans currently on sale at the Nordstroms anniversary sale for $35.90. I reviewed them over the weekend. As you can see they have a nice dark wash and some medium distressing. Although I didn't take any back shots, the pockets are normal and not offensive by any means.
Even though I'm a denim snob, I really love this pair. They have just enough stretch and are pretty comfy for a pair of skinny jeans. I think this pair looks great with both feminine and androgynous pieces.

What do you think? For $35.90, are they a buy for you?

Quick Trip to Nordstroms' Anniversary Sale
So, I did end up taking a quick trip to Nordstroms last night. And, I tried on the Vigoss "Ritz" skinny distressed jeans.
Now, many of you know that I am a jean fiend and I have too many pairs to count. But, these jeans are of great quality, fit very well and have a nice weight to them...so, for $35.90 I had to buy them. Just an fyi, the weight is similar to SFAMK jeans (that's Seven For All Mankind for those who are not jean freaks).
They run true-ish to size, but they are cut a bit slim. I took a 27 and they look very cute with heels. I'm still deciding if I want to have them hemmed or just leave them "bunchy". I also ended up ordering the ECI Ruffle Top shown in my set below. I won't receive the top for a few days, but I'll do my best to take some real-life photos of the jeans this weekend.

Nordstroms Anniversary Sale Is On Like Donkey Kong
Since I was up at 6:30 a.m. anyway, I decided to check out Nordstroms Anniversary Sale online. Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed. Normally, the NAS has an incredible selection of denim and shoes and this year it was just so-so for me. I'm sure my credit card and husband appreciate that. *golf claps*
They had a great selection of leather and faux leather jackets as well as some very cute boots and a few adorable dresses.
I only ordered one item online since, a) It's been quite the shopping month already, b) I didn't see too many items that I "needed" and c) The one item I really wanted was not available for pick-up in-store. Take a peruse for yourself...but here's the one item I ordered.

This is the Sashimi Faux Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Gray. It's on sale from for $44.90 and retails for $68.00. Although I was tempted to keep it safe by ordering this jacket in black, I went out on a limb and ordered the gray option, as I was really diggin' the color. Hopefully I'll enjoy it when it arrives!
Are you checking out the NAS?

Impatience Pays Off...Nordstroms Anniversary Sale: Online Catalog
Yep, I'm impatient. I have been impatient my whole life...ask my mom. I don't like waiting at lights, I get irritated when people take too long to turn, I especially do not enjoy waiting for a table at a great restaurant, and I am even annoyed when people take too long to answer a question. So, naturally I have been impatiently waiting for my Nordstroms Anniversary Sale catalogue to arrive in the mail.
But guess what...we don't have to wait any longer because it's available online! Here is the link that will scoot your impatient, shopping-focused cranium over to the online catalogue. After breezing through it I am definitely craving a leather motorcycle jacket and some new flat, brown boots. And, of course, the MAC and Bobbi Brown collections look superb.
Nordstroms Anniversary Sale will run from Friday, July 17-Sunday, August 2.
What do you think of this year's Nordstroms Anniversary Sale offerings?
Anything look craveable?

Nordstroms Score of the Day - Sam Edelman Gigi Sandals
If you're positively addicted to shoes like I am, check out my deal o' the day. Nordies is offering up a great pair of Sam Edelman sandals, "Gigi" 50% off. These puppies were originally $78.95, now $38.90.
I was searching around this morning on Ebay for these in yellow and instead of wheeling and dealing, I can go right to the source! Nordstroms is always a great spot to double check their online sales rack when a gift card is burning a hole in your pocket! These run pretty true to size, in my opinion.
