Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker (sold at Steve and Barry's.

Bitten....by disappointment.


As you may of heard, Sarah Jessica Parker released a line of clothing called "Bitten". Its being sold at a store called Steve and Barry's. You can read more about her line at the BittenSJP website.

My take? Total disappointment, for me. The jeans go up to a size 22 and I could not even zip them up. Im typically a 22-24. I tried on the xxl tops and they didnt fit either. The regular Steve and Barry's size 22 and XXL don't fit either, so it was a disappointment all around. The quality and style of the items were similar to Old Navy, but cost less.

Looks like I will be sticking with Old Navy where I can fit into many xl and xxl tops. And I never seem to go wrong with Lane Bryant jeans.

Casual Outfit - Purple and Black

When I first saw this top I thought it would be perfect for a casual night out. Maybe a night out with the girls, or a get together with family. I combined it with a wristlet because I prefer to carry a wristlet if Im out at a bar or resturant. As long as I can fit my ID, cash, cell phone, and keys in it, I am set. I dont have to worry about lugging around a bag all night.

Fun with Orange!

Orange has always reminded me of summer. To me, its bright, fun, and exciting. I really like the pattern of this dress, and how you can play it up with orange, white or browns.



The dress is by Lane Bryant and runs in sizes 18-26. It currently costs $49.95

I found the orange shoes on amazon.com. They are called "hype womens glitz sandal" and are currently running on sale at $41.89. This is a 70% savings off the list price of $149.95. This is a fun and sexy shoe. Open toe, strappy, and orange. This is a hot summer shoe! This shoe is offered in a variety of sizes.

The bracelets are by Torrid. I lke the mix of brown, oranges, and yellows, combined with different textures and shapes. This is a 6-pack of bracelets and is currently $9.

I chose a brown handbag from payless.com. Lets be honest. Handbags can get expensive, but I am on a budget. Payless's line of handbags are fun, functional and affordable. This brown bag is only $22.99.

I really am in love with the earings I found at Boscovs.com. These earings are by Trifari. I love these earings because they dangle and involve several shades of topaz. Pull your hair off and show these babies off! They are currently on sale for $6.99

Total: $130.82
