Deal of the Day: Slip into Sexy Sandals on Sale at Piperlime.com

Category: Deal of the Day

image

It’s sandal season, ladies, and those flip flops aren’t going to cut it for date night, although it’s always a good idea to leave a pair in the trunk just in case.  Skip the flats and the boring black and go for something fun.  Go metallic; celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe says it’s the way to go and we agree.  Not only do they add some sass to any outfit, but you can find a bunch on sale at piperlime.com.

image
Taryn Rose Jewel Sandals ($167.99): If you’ve got the legs, flaunt them in these super-sexy T-Strap sandals.  Your man will go crazy trying to take them off at the end of the night.

image
Carlos by Carlos Santana Explicit Sandals ($74.99): We love the woven detailing on this strappy slingback, and rubber pads on the sole make them slip-proof.


image
If you’re afraid of heights, go for the Steve Madden Tipperr Sandals ($55.99).  The stacked heel is low enough for you to be comfortable all night long, but high enough to make a difference.

MomAnne’s Mother’s Day Wish List

Category: Mother's Day

La Blanca by Rod Beattie Terry Dress
La Blanca by Rod Beattie Terry Dressicon ($58): In the summer I’m with my kids swimming at the pool, beach or lake almost everyday. I cannot get enough cover-ups. This one is really cute and I dig the Terry fabric. If anyone is reading this I’d like it in all three colors.

Lady’s Slipper Orchid
Lady’s Slipper Orchid for my woodland garden. I’m focusing on native plants and have been lusting after this gorgeous one for years. When purchasing any native plant you want to make sure you’re getting it from a reputable vendor, to assure it wasn’t dug up from the wild. White Flower Farm has some available for $85.

Vintage Prints
Vintage Prints: In fancy interior shops I’ve loved the look of vintage natural history prints such as flowers or insects. I’ve always thought I’d order several inexpensively on eBay and then frame them and have a designer look for a reasonable price. Yet have I done this? No. I even own a mat cutter that has been gathering dust since I had kids. So I’d love someone else to do it. Order some great prints, frame them and hang them on my wall. I love these butterflies. Since they are being auctioned they will be gone soon, but Haystack Treasures has many more lovely prints. Auctions start at around $16.

Laura Mercier Flawless Face
A Flawless Face. I’d bet stoked to have a flawless face without makeup, but since that’s not happening I’d love to get all new Laura Mercier makeup to make me look like I have one. At Laura Mercier you can ask questions about your skin and get back some Flawless Face recommendations. The products focus on giving you a clean slate to achieve a beautiful, natural look.  If someone were to buy all the recommended items it’d be around $175, but the shipping is free. 

Bosch  800 Series Nexxt Washer
Bosch 800 Series Nexxt Washer: An unglamorous choice I know, but my washer is old and keeps on breaking. Half the dials are busted so I need a wrench to switch the water temperature. Consumer Reports Greener Choices gives this one good ratings, so I would not return it if it showed up on Sunday.

LIFE’s Dream Destinations: The World's 100 Greatest Places to Vacation
A Relaxing Vacation: I’ll go to any tropical place where I can sip a Strawberry Daquiri and watch the sunset in peace.  That’s not going to happen this weekend so I’ll settle for LIFE’s Dream Destinations: The World’s 100 Greatest Places to Vacation.  It’ll help me narrow down my choices for my family’s next getaway.

MBT Sandals
MBT Sandals: I have the MBT sneakers and love them, so I’d like to try out the sandals and walk off some pounds at the beach.

Chic Sunglasses
Chic Sunglassesicon: Surprise, surprise…I lost another pair.  I need some new sunnies for all the trips to the playground and the drive time in between. 

Maid Service
Maid Service: I try to keep my home neat and organized, but it’s a never-ending job.  I’d be more than happy to pass the job on to someone else, even if it’s just once or twice per month.

DadFinds Friday: Slate from Banana Republic Looks as Great as it Smells

Category: Dad

Slate Eau de Toilette from Banana Republic

What: Slate Eau de Toilette from Banana Republic

Why: When it comes to choosing a fragrance, I’ve always tried not to be swayed by the bottle. However if it comes down to Perfume A or Perfume B, I’ll go with the more appealing package. But I have to admit that opening Banana Republic’s Slate cologne for men, all I could think was “I hope this smells as good as it looks.” The black natural wood box is so good looking you’ll want to keep it for storage. The heavy square bottle has a black and silver top and is simply classic and elegant.

OK, so I’m sold on the look of Slate, but what about the scent? It’s very cool, predominantly citrus with notes of ginger and sage. It’s on the light side, and makes me think of the outdoors, maybe the beach, a great scent for a guy who prefers clean and green. And again, trust me, if you want to wow him from the get-go, Slate will do it.

Price: $45 and $58

Find it: bananarepublic.com

Deal Alert: Spend $150 at Banana Republic by May 11th and you’ll receive a $25 cash card.

MomKristyn’s Mother’s Day Wish List

Category: Mother's Day

Cookbook Holder

1. Cookbook Holder.  You know, so I don’t have to wedge the pages open with a can of coconut milk while I’m measuring out the curry ingredients. 

Jeans that fit

2. Jeans that fit:  It’s hard to find jeans that flatter my post-baby tummy.  I’m sick to death of low-rise, which wasn’t even that flattering on me in the first place.  Also, I need the time to spend shopping for them.  Unaccompanied. 

Tempurpedic bed

3. Tempurpedic bed: Yeah, this one’s a little over the top, but it doesn’t hurt to hope. 

Honda Pilot

4. Honda Pilot: And you thought the mattress was a splurge…
