Its America's Birthday: Buy yourself a present!

My parents are in town visiting for the weekend and we 've had a fantastic time so far.  They've been a welcome distraction from my job and constant studying.  In the past two days, we've been to Bud's Broiler and Salvo's Seafood (both awesome) and my Dad made eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits for Sunday breakfast, put new wiper blades on my car, crawled under my house to fix the AC ducts, and my Mom has weeded my flower bed.  I'm thinking they should move permanently closer to New Orleans.  We are spending the rest of the weekend staying downtown, where my Dad will probably disappear into the bowels of the casino and my mom and I will hang by the pool.  Staying downtown will probably inevitably lead to another trip to Saks or Anthro, maybe French Connection and/or Urban, so stay tuned for the possibility of some 4th of July finds.

In other news, the Donald's daughter, Ivanka Trump, has her own line which popped up on my daily visit to ideeli.  Ideeli should probably start paying me, because I feel like all I do is blog about stuff I find on their website.  Some of today's items:


Blush Topaz Small Flap: $45




Hali Wedge: $74 (also in white and leopard)



White Alexandrite Quilted Briefcase Flap: $89

Also, there are a TON of cute dresses.  I could easily spend hundreds of dollars buying dresses.  No purchases today, but here are some pics of a few of my favorites from today's sale:

BCBGMAXAZRIA $69



Donna Rico New York Bisque Strapless Faux Wrap Peplum Dress $39
 (I think the main reason I like this dress is because I feel like it is something Kate Middleton would wear)




Hype Blue Iro Denim Dress $49
Football game wear for my fellow Tar Heels?




Judith March Red/Black Layered Strapless Dress $49



JB by Julie Brown Red/Orange Jersey One Shoulder Tenley Dress $49



Marc New York Chambray Ruffle Neck Border Dress $59

 If I had any room in my closet (or more dollars in my bank account), I'd probably buy one of all of these right now. 

Hope you all have a happy and fun 4th of July!
