Breakfast Blackout August 30, 2011 No Comments

Over breakfast this morning I temporarily lost control of my mind and body, regained consciousness five minutes later and found an email confirming my order from Kate Spade. I swear aliens took over my body for those few minutes, but I’m sure glad they did. I had been eye-ing the Candy Darling Emanuelle for months [...]

Two for Tuesday 8.16 August 16, 2011 1 Comment

This week’s Two for Tuesday comes from a familiar name in the blog world, the one and only Sharon Montrose. Being a sucker for a good deal my sister and I teamed up last week to take advantage of The Animal Print Shop‘s buy three, get one free sale. I, after much debate, got these [...]

Back from Sandwich May 23, 2011 3 Comments

I’m kicking myself right now. In an attempt to avoid the torrential downpours last night I dragged my Sandwich Antiques Market desk purchase inside before snapping pictures out of doors with oodles of natural light. So what you get now are some semi-blurry, kind of janky indoor pictures but I think you can grasp the [...]

Good Deal: Jacob Lysgaard May 5, 2011 1 Comment

You guys might remember this post from the end of last month about the very talented Jacob Lysgaard. Well apparently he’s not only talented but he’s generous too. He has gotten in touch with me and is offering all ebb & flow readers a discount of 25% on anything and everything in his shop! When [...]

Coming Home April 13, 2011 9 Comments

I had a major blond moment today. As discussed yesterday I have fallen hard for this dress. I spotted it online, but based off my previous history with H&M products I decided to check it out in person. The list price online (or so I thought….) was 19.99 so I had a feeling this item [...]

It’s a sale. A big sale. February 15, 2011 2 Comments

I just got an email about the Kate Spade sample sale going on right now and nearly fell out of my seat. I think one of these two beauties may be calling my name. Well, they both are, but I’m not buying both. They’re marked down to $189 from $495 and $425. I think that [...]

Burning Rubber February 8, 2011 No Comments

Bad news, friends. As I grabbed my computer this morning to head off to work I heard a horrible noise, smelled burning rubber and my machine has been in a coma ever since. There are some strange noises lingering still but no signs of returning to life. It’s not looking good. I have an appointment [...]

Temptation January 31, 2011 No Comments

Good news, friends. I came home empty-handed from my outlet shopping adventure on Saturday. There were a few whiny ‘but I want that‘ moments, but I took a deep breath, thought it through and nothing made the cut on my five year list. With every dodged purchase I can just hear my new MacBook getting [...]

Think It Through January 26, 2011 3 Comments

Speaking of purchases and wish lists, I think Joslyn and I are on the same page after reading this today. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to make more thoughtful purchases, especially when it comes to clothing. I do not need more shirts from Forever 21 or Target shoes. I need timeless basics that [...]
