Crocs is quite an ambiguous footwear isn’t it? There are basically those that think of this as a fashion mistake, and yet there are those that actually love this footwear and can’t live without ‘em. I’m in that second type of group. I can live without my Crocs, let’s get that out there. But I do love how comfortable they are. I have the Malindi and the Adara, pretty cute women’s designs… and not the kind that most people would say only looks good on kids or clowns.
Anyway, if you’re like me and you find Crocs comfortable, you will enjoy the ongoing sale they have on their website.
When you buy two or more pairs, you will avail of the 50% discount or get a pair for as low as $5!!! You can also use this coupon code: springcustomer09 for free shipping.
Pretty great deal, huh?

The thing about PVC made shower curtains is that it leaves an awful stench in the bathroom. It also gathers molds and mildew faster than anything. If you’re conscious of what this does to your environment, you would do well to leave this type of product alone.
Now, as an alternative, you could get one of those non-PVC made shower curtains. Lavish & Lime carries a few selection for about $20, which is quite a good price, I should say.

Take a fashionably breezy stroll in this strappy style from Vince Camuto. The Boris flat has an open-air woven upper in cute color combinations with the added shine of metallics for a casually glitzy look, plus a low heel and thickly padded insole for perfect comfort.

The iconic plastic doll we grew up with has turned 50 years old and to celebrate that, Philippe Starck has designed a special limited edition chair in honor of her.
As anything Barbie, this Lulu Ghost chair comes in pretty pink. Making it transparent has a very mod and stylish effect, Philippe Starck does know her style and image! It looks very vintage but still very, very beautiful, right?
The chair carries a price tag of whopping $270, so yes, this is definitely not a toy for young girls, it is an actual furniture. But you can still get a smaller version of this for $100, for the kids to enjoy.
