I love the weekends

I took advantage of some of the sales and free tax DC is having this weekend.

Top from Forever21 (this is part of an outfit I am putting together for a super secret mission), Red headband from Forever21, Gold and black glasses case from Aldo, blue bag and scarf from NY & Company, and I finally got myself the Bamboo tablet that I have been wanting for a while.

I really want to be more Eco friendly and stop using plastic/paper bags from the stores, so I am going to start making shopping bags. This was my first one. I made it out of green and white upholstery fabric and the bottom out of white denim. I forgot how much fun it is to sew. I have plans to make grocery bags but I need to go out and buy more fabric.


A couple of weeks ago Steve Madden was having a sale and I bought the shoes above for $20! I love them. They are so comfy.


When we went to the Eastern Market I bought the cuff below from a local artist. She had them in different colors but ended up picking this one up. More my style.


Isn't it great?


I will end this with my first outfit of the day picture. This is what I wore for my Friday festivities.
Top: Do not remember where I got it.
Pants: Old Navy
Shoes: Rockport Shoes
Sunglasses: From vintage store in NYC
Earrings: Bought at a Native American Flea Market in New Mexico
Bracelet: New York and Company

Today I will be at Merriweather Post Pavillion for the Incubus concert. I am super excited, I have seen them in concert once before and they were awesome.

How is every ones weekend going??

Ciao! xoxo

Rockport Shoes

Today is Mr. P's birthday and one of his presents for him from me were a pair of shoes.

We first went to Kenneth Cole and we did not find anything to his liking. Actually, he found one pair but they were not comfortable. So we decided to head on over to Nordstroms to see if we could find anything there. On the way to Nordstroms we passed by the Rockport store and thought "Why not, I know he likes the shoes, maybe they have something nice".

Well we did find a pair of shoes for him, he picked these shoes but in black:

I was impressed by the new styles they had and loved the shoes that Mr. P picked.

While we waited for the nice sales man to find Mr.P's size I decided to browse around the store and I found these:

I never thought I would ever own a pair of Rockport shoes. I always thought of my grandmother when I saw their shoes and the last thing I wanted was to look like her.

But the colors drew me in and when I saw the price I just had to try them on. So the nice magical sales man went off to find the shoes in my size. When he came back with the grey box, I took them out and slipped the shoes on.

Ladies, I found my summer sandal! Yes, after a few blog posts, several mall trips, countless hours searching the internet. I found my summer sandal. Now I know what you are all thinking "But Dissolved Girl, the summer is almost over!" I know! I understand BUT I still have 2 glorious months of summer sandal wonderland and not only will I enjoy the hell out of those shoes my feet will love me for the nice soft pillows I have given them to walk on.

I highly recommend for you to run to your nearest Rockport store (they are cheaper at the store then on their website) and pick these puppies up. Your feet will thank you.

Ciao!! xoxo
