BDG high rise jeans = new fave

After ripping a pair of Madewell $125 jeans I had a mini meltdown. None of my jeans fit!  Then I found an old pair of URban Outfitters BDGs in my closet. Thankfully they still fit. I realized that I've had good, long lasting relationships with all my BDGs so yesterday I went to urban to restock.  High waisted skinnies are the trend now, so of course I had to try. These jeans have stretch and hide the tummy. I'm in love. http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=34853721&color=091&category=MORE_IDEAS

Madewell Adjustable Necklace

Just got this versatile necklace. Metal beads slide up and down along the chain so it's easy to adjust the length to suit every neckline.

Reef Ginger - Flip for this Flop

Living in a beach town, I needed a sturdy pair of flops. Was a Havianas fan, but my local surf shop didn't have them. Decided to try Reefs. My friends always said good things. Wow, were they right! Reef Ginger cradles my feet like a tempurpedic mattress. If I had my way, they would never come off my feet!! Highly recommend! http://shop.reef.com/ginger/d/1098_c_200_cl_5694

Stripes are SO RIGHT

There is just something so good about horizontally striped pants/ leggings/ skinnies.  They somehow are sexy, fresh,  and they actually make women look taller. When Philip Lim showed horizontally striped jeans for men last year, I was skeptical, but these pants are done RIGHT on women. 

Banana Republic has a trouser version that I am coveting right now:

 

There's just something so sickly awesome about Sochi ski leggings with horizontal stripes that makes me swoon. 

 

Unroll.me DECLUTTERING for 2014

While I've been busy shopping my heart out this holiday season, I've been slacking on the blogging.  Instead of bombarding you with "sale sale sale" information, I bestow upon you, loyal readers, the most useful thing that I learned in 2013: unroll.me.
 
I spend at least 20 minutes each day deleting email from my inbox.  99% of the emails that I get are messages that I subscribed to.  I am so sick of opening emails that I don't even read them anymore. I just press delete like a "delete robot".  It got to the point where I was deleting important emails because I got so "delete happy" that I over zealously ignored the good stuff.

About 3 weeks ago, my friend sent me an invite to "unroll.me".  This is the same friend that introduced me to Tieks, the flats of which I have 7 pairs... yeah, hence Shopahillic... we know... so I trust her excellent taste.

 I don't know who thought of unroll.me, but it changed my life! Basically, it organizes all of your subscribed emails into one daily roll-up email that has previews of each message.  It also lists every email you are subscribed to (349?!? really?)  and asks you if you want to "unsubscribe" or "add to roll-up".  In less than an hour, I unsubscribed from tons of email lists and created my roll-up.  Now, I get 1 email a day.  Its heaven! I highly recommend using unroll.me

Here's to decluttering in 2014!
