A couple weeks ago, Banana Republic had 30% off everything in honor of their 30th anniversary. On a whim, I ordered the shoes to the left, in black as well as bronze.

No pic… out sick. Not sure if it’s the changing of the seasons, allergies, me being a bad vegetarian and having a bit of seafood… but I started feeling icky yesterday and got full-out sick last night and am still really reeling from it. So right now I am sitting on my couch with bedhead… Continue Reading Tuesday
