My Pair Tree

Now that it is flip flop weather, it is time to figure out what to do with all of those shoes that all us preppies are addicted to. I was using one of those plastic shoe holders from Target; but when I spotted this on The Today Show yesterday, I knew that I needed to own [at least] one! What makes this flip flop tree even better?! You get to pick out the grosgrain patten!! Look at all the choices...


Now, you should hop one over to My Pair Tree and grab one for yourself :) They are priced at $13.99, which holds 6 pairs of flip flops or crocs. By far, this is one of my favorite finds of the season!

Oh how I love the dollar bins!

Somehow, I walk in to Target looking for one thing and I come out with 6 things. And did I mention that did not include what I went in for? Too bad they didn't have any gold sandals! Moral to the story... I absolutely cannot go to Target without making a stop at the dollar section. You can find some of the cutest seasonal item or just little happy's.

Preppy Puppy has not even made it home yet and he/she is already going to be outfitted in pink and green! I could not believe it when I found this collar and matching lead in the dollar bins. What a great buy?!


Then I also found these cute little pails that can house anything from pens to candy to flowers. I went ahead and got four and used two of them to organize stuff on my desk. I just thought that they would be handy to have around. It is sometimes hard to find places for little things to live! They would also be the perfect compliment to Easter decorations or a table setting.

Bath Organization

I am in no way, shape, or form any where near as organized as I need to be. Seriously, I have made huge strides in recent years, but I still lack the organizational skills that are required to keep my massive amount of "stuff" in its appropriate home. This year, I purchased two large baskets that have worked pretty well to organize my bathroom. One keeps all of my makeup on my vanity, while the other keeps all of my hair products and larger bottles on a different shelf. Still, I felt like I could use a little more organization in this department...


Shopping online one day, I spotted this cute make up organizer from PB Teen that had a matching console for all of your hair accessories (hair dryer, straightener, etc.). I decided to wait and see if I could find anything better/less expensive. Of course, I kind of forgot about these organizers until I went back on the PB Teen website and realized they were gone! Don't you hate it when you miss out on something when it sells out?!So I was on the hunt again! Here is the closest thing that I could find from the Container Store. This organizer will work just as well as the PB one, plus I have acrylic cotton ball and Q-tip holders that will match. I guess it all worked out in the end, but I am still a little disappointed about the white one.


If you are interested... PB Teen has the smaller version of the make-up organizer in a pretty light blue that is still available. Too bad it doesn't match my color scheme!
