Fancy Friday: Springy Sandals

You know you're a mom when you get to Target right when the doors open at 8:00. This morning I went in for two things; 1) to return an item and 2) to get Cranberry juice. That's it. But nooooo, $66.59 later (mind you that was my 4th trip to Target this week. Eeek.) I walked out with almond milk, coconut water and two pairs of shoes. Oh and the Cranberry juice.

Damn Target.

While I wasn't successful in sneaking out of there with only the $3.09 bottle of Cran, I did think I scored big with my two sandal purchases for a total of $49.99.

Wondering which ones tickled my fancy?

Item #1: Merona "Eireen" Wedge Sandal ($24.99). I bought the blue/white stripe but the coral is super cute too! Fashion alert: Stripes are HUGE for spring/summer. As is the Nautical theme. And corals and tangerines are showing up everywhere.Tangerine is actually the Home & Fashion Pantone color of the year! Such a vibrant, feel good color. Can't go wrong with either.

Item #2: Mossimo "Peace" Gladiator T-Strap Flat Sandal ($24.99) - I bought the Animal Print (they look wayyyy better on) but they have a slew of other colors. Unfortunately Target has a glitch in their website for this particular sandal. They have the same sandal listed as two different names with different colors so click HERE for black and animal and HERE for brown, black glitter and gold glitter. Fashion alert: Bold, wild parades of patterns and prints are big for spring/summer - floral, leopard, tropical, tribal. Pretty much anything goes.

FYI; I blogged last spring about a pair of cute braided flats that I noticed they still are selling online. Only $14.99 and available in a handful of colors. I personally love the pewter.

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k
