Recent Purchases at LOFT and Nordstrom's

**Update: Amrita Singh is having 40% site wide sale with code: 4JULY11**
How is it already almost July? Wow, this year is going by so fast!! Work has been keeping me very busy so I haven't had a chance to really plan any good posts. Just thought I'd share some of my recent purchases. I had $60 in LOFT rewards I had to use before they expire so I picked up this adorable ruffle cardigan in XXSP. It comes in dusty taupe and iron grey- got both colors just in case. They are on sale plus an additional 40% off.  I had to add additional items to my cart for free shipping so I got this twist strap dress to test out.
So you know how I have been searching and searching for the right pair of sandals? Well after many failed attempts, I realized no matter what I get- I always end up comparing them to my nude pair of wedges I got a couple of years ago at Nordie's. They are still available HERE and on sale with 20% off (small sizes and nude/black available)! I highly recommend them!!  They are seriously the most comfortable shoes on the planet. I can walk for 10+ hours in them shopping w/out my feet hurting and they have a 4" platform heel! I wore them for 3 weeks in Italy w/no pain. So I had a "DUH" moment last night before bed. Why don't I look for some cute versions of mine? Then I came across these cuties and knew they were the ones. Callisto usually focuses on slides with no straps around the ankle so I knew I better scoop these up.  The size 5 runs small which is PERFECT for my tiny feet! And they are light as a feather and I know I will get my money's worth. A bit pricey for sandals but I have worn my other knot wedge slides to the ground. 
I also picked these up in brown. I wanted the yellow ones too but they are not as practical. I am trying my best to use this frame of mind, "Am I really going to wear this and how often?" That usually puts my purchases in check:)

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you know I just treated myself to a Rebecca Minkoff purse (similar style but in a mini mini) which should be arriving today! Yippee! Also I have a couple more treats coming in the mail which I super excited about.....stay tuned!

Have a fabulous weekend! If you are going to the outlet's this weekend, here is a printable LOFT outlet coupon for an extra 20% off. And this is the LAST day to enter both of my giveaways HERE and HERE.
