PURPLE NINJA-She reminds me that in my 40's I need to work on my Ninja like qualities of stealth, true patience, self-control, dedication & loyalty!
My oldest son took me to my absolute fav, Starbucks for my Grande Americano and Lucy's Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies! Love it! Then he totally surprised me with this Owl Coin Purse from IchiBan! I love owls - so into them right now!
MRS. OWL - reminds me to embrace my 40's and continue to gain wisdom during my next decade!
And from my little girl - a gift from Anthropologie! She remembered that the very first time I set foot in an Anthro, I loved this little vintage-y sugar bowl! We put our organic, raw sugar in it!
BIRDIE SUGAR BOWL - This reminds me to be sweet to others, and to allow myself little "sugary" treats now and then! I'm 40 after all - I've earned it!
Old Navy Flower Applique Cardigan
After seeing this on Anthroholic yesterday - I went by to see if they had one in my size as it is sold out online -they had one left! It was meant to be!


Ripstop Cargo Pants - OK, these were $79.99 like two seconds ago......today they were $19.99! I was sooo excited - they were on the cover of the March catalog and I so longed for them. At $20 and my birthday - they are now mine! I got the Safari color.


Tunic from the Garden Collection at H&M $9.99 - I can't wait to wear this one with just some jeans and the pretty new sandals I got at Payless shown below!
I saw these in a magazine- can't remember which one now but thought I would check them out when I happened upon a Payless. I guess they were their most popular shoe of the season - they were sold out everywhere! I finally tracked down a pair and they gave me 10% off, plus a $3 coupon - and they were already on sale - so I got them for $15!! I will wear these ALL spring and summer. IRL they have a chambray look.
