Stripe in Your Step
Since I love navy and white stripes, and I've been on a bit (to say the least) of a shoe kick (pun intended), I thought I would share these fabulous navy and white striped sandals from Splendid.

Le Tote-Part Deux
My second "tote" from Le Tote was a much bigger success than the first. I actually wore all three items of clothing.
Two of the items were by Splendid and basically the same style, and while I liked both of them, I think Splendid is way overpriced. I digress... Say hello to Laverne.
And Shirley.
The third is this jacket from Willow & Clay. I liked the idea of it, but the button at the bottom was a little weird.
I didn't get a photo of the Laverne top, but I did wear the Shirley top and the blazer to our "family interview" to the French American International School, where we hope to send Sydney next year. And of course I topped it off with my new chain link necklace from Ily Couture. In case you missed the post, check it out here.
I should have worn different boots....anyway...I am looking forward to my third tote sometime next week. I'm hopeful that I will want to purchase at least one thing from these totes before my two month subscription is over.

Getting My Fix
C&C would like to give a special shout out to one of our most loyal readers, Kelli! (We hijacked this photo from your facebook profile).
Kelli is participating in her first Ironman this weekend. We will be thinking of you Kelli and wishing you all the best during your race. You go girl! As you get off the bike and transition to your 26.2 mile run, I suggest you envision Louboutin heels, a Chanel handbag and an Oscar de la Renta dress all in your size at the end of the race…and they are free! Run girl, run! That kind of reward might even incentivize me to run a marathon.
Now on to my first ever Stitch Fix. It arrived yesterday, with much anticipation. So here are the results….
The first two pieces: an open draped cardigan and skinny jeans. The jeans fit well, but I really don't need any pants, and for $88 I couldn't justify an unnecessary pair of pants. Although, I did really like the fit and the color.
Now to the cardigan…I really liked the print and the elbow patches, but there was way too much material around the collar, and it was a bit too much like a sweater coat, which I already have two of in my closet. At $118 I decided not to keep it. I think I can find something that I really love for less.
Next up, this knit cowel neck sweater from Splendid. It was just okay (and yes, kind of sheer), and I'm not going to pay $98 for just okay. On a whole, I think Splendid is overpriced and underwhelming…kind of like this sweater.
The last two tops were total losers! The first, a chambray blouse, was boxy, had big wide sleeves (when not buttoned up) and was shorter in the front than the back. It was blah!
The last shirt was the worst. You can see that the stripes on the right side of my chest have been sewn into the top color blocking of the shirt. Total fail! I can't believe it even made it through their quality control.
So, unfortunately all five pieces are going back, and I am losing $20, even bigger bummer! I am definitely open to trying it again. Hopefully next time I will have some success.
On a positive note…I am totally lusting after this dress from Ivy and Blu Maggy Boutique. I really want to order it.

Random Musings II
Just like Katie's Random Musings from last week, here are some of my recent ramblings...
This website FLUFFYCO has cool organic totes like this colorful bike tote.
Bright Bike Tote $56
Did you know that Splendid (best known for their super soft cotton clothing) now makes shoes? Katie should have included this in her wedge post!
Klever Wedge $119
I recently was introduced to three new (to me) online sale sites Fab , My Habit and Joss & Main. Check them out for great deals on home goods, decor, clothing and accessories. My Habit even had MZ Wallace handbags!
For all of our prego readers...I wish they had this video baby monitor a year ago. It works with your iphone. So Cool!
Do you have state pride? If so, show it with a necklace by Maya Brenner.
Speaking of Idaho (see above), I used to have this t-shirt...and no, this is not me in the photo.
