Have you made it to the new Banana Republic at Scottsdale Fashion Square yet? Love the store! Loved everything! Here’s the little something I picked up for $55.

It has snaps for the clasp, which I just adore.  And the delicate tassels look darling while holding a glass of bubbly!  I’ve also got my eye on a million more things. But this dress really rocks my world…

Venus Fly Trap in Pink $150

Feast your fabulous eyes on the fashionable eyewear from Cinzia Designs.

Cinzia Designs has been featured in high-profile magazines such as Martha Stewart Living, O Magazine and Women’s Health among high-profile eyewear designers twice the price.

The Scottsdale based company’s designs have evolved to include readers, ophthalmic, sunglasses, Sunreaders, accessories and the new Redeux sunglass line for 2009.

I was rolling through Target in Scottsdale at The Pavilions and came across new items for the Converse One Star line of casual dresses, button-up shirts and shorts.  Of course, when you’re not looking for anything, you find a million fabulous things!! 

Here are the pieces I bought. Perfect for summer bbq’s, 4th of July picnics and more…

Converse One Star Twisted Dress $34.99. Cotton, blue & white striped with matching ribbon belt.

Pair this Converse One Star Twisted dress for $34.99 with oxfords for a casual day look (above) or dress it up like me on Saturday night with some heels and this fun necklace I found by Erickson Beaman $49, in the jewelry case also at Target…

The Erickson Beamon Bubble necklace $49

I also picked up these Converse One Star Bermuda shorts in True White $24.99.  These had a better fit for me than any of the Mossimo brand shorts famously found at Target. I love their lightweight 100% cotton fabric and they’re a great length for a mommy like me. But, choose your knickers wisely! I’m tempted to buy them in every color for the summer (khaki and navy).  Again, great with white oxfords.  I picked up the Merona White Oxfords for $14.99 to go with my new Converse dress and shorts.

Converse One Star Bermuda Shorts $24.99
