At the end of a fifteen hour day, this is all I need.

It all started today at 6:00 a.m. After playing musical beds with my four year old last night, she woke up ready to play. Shortly thereafter, the eighteen-month old got up and we were off two the races.
Two kids up, fed and ready for school. Check.
Workout, grocery store, dogs walked. Done
Clothes taken in to consignment, Nordstrom Rack visit. Check.
Networking meeting, more shopping, get girls from school. Done.
Two kids fed, adult dinner prepped, two kids bathed and the little one sleeping. TIME FOR A LARGE GLASS OF WINE.

Then I remembered, my fashion find of the day.  I am sporting them right now, and they are amazing. This is quite possibly the best fifteen dollars I have ever spent.  The super glam slippers below are sequined geniuses, ready to make your princess obsessed, little girls, jealous (bargaining chip anyone?). They are fleece lined, machine washable and utterly dreamy.  My gym socks are officially retired from my after work wardrobe.
I found these today at Castle Home Decor in Cherry Creek.  The store is certainly not my go to fashion mecca, but it will be my go to gift spot from here on out. You won't believe how many great things there are to buy in this fantastic store.   I had the pleasure of meeting Sydney Kelker there today, and after showing me her stash of Snoozies in her register drawer, I was sold.  So if your days are like mine, and you need comfort more than Christian Louboutin's, I suggest heading for some Snoozies, ASAP.

Victoria, I think even you can smile about this.

In Cherry Creek North, is a fantastic store, MAX.  Walking in on the upper level you can easily be intimidated by the prices.  Think New York City, Fifth Ave, not a single item on sale.

But tucked away in the back of the store, is a small stairwell that leads to amazing treasures.  At the end of this rainbow is a fantastic pot of gold. You can call it the designer jackpot if you'd like, because that is literally what it is.  You will find clothes from Lavin, Bottega, Maria Cornejos, Celine and a variety of designers you've never heard of, but can't get enough of.  To top it all off, the prices are insane.

I stopped in today and found at least four things I had to convince myself I could live without.  But for those of you on the quest for some new spring items, you need to get in there soon.  These two dresses from Victoria, By Victoria Beckham were two of the fantastic articles I found for astonishing prices.

Victoria, By Victoria Beckham, Cotton Dress in Navy Borderie Anglaise, originally $595, now $99.

Victoria, By Victoria Beckham, Silk Tee Mini-Dress, originally $920, now $99.

South Pearl Sale-tastic

Last fall I spent some time on South Pearl street, drinking beer and shopping with some of my best girls. I haven't been back since, until last week. I decided to focus more on local businesses this year as the fashion scene in Denver continues to get better and better. There are some great shops on South Pearl. Melrose and Madison is over there and is a fantastic boutique. There were racks and racks of great brands you'd typically find at a major retailer. They had a ton of stuff on sale reduced 30-50%, all with great finds.

And then I stumbled upon the $50 rack. This rack pretty much made my Monday (and the fact that I was kid and spouse free ALL day)!  I found this great dress, still available in all sizes.
Red23 Dress with Leather Pocket, originally $145, now $50.
You can wear it now with your tights and boots/booties and then wear it again in the spring. You will live in this dress, I promise.
