CRAZY spring sale, even before the hot weather!

____

You gotta love Old Navy...

They are super smart into bringing you in the store, all the time!

No, the hot weather is not here. In fact, it feels like winter.
Twenty-nine degrees this morning. But spring/summer dresses are on sale on Old Navy!

I did already post about my white dress, that was too cute not to get (in fact I needed it to replace a Zara dress that was worn to pieces...).

But I did see those beauties in the store:

These eyelet dresses were too cute to pass! And they do really compliment my body type. Aannd extra points for boosting my ego: they run huge! Had to get a size FOUR and even then it was kinda big!!!

And then I saw this cutie:

Was on the fence with this one... The flowers were a bit big and I thought it could look a bit matronly... But, overall I did like it and also it was a whopping 20 bucks!!! LOL

I guess I am all set for spring!!!! I just need some hot weather!!!

LOVING my Ipad Mini!

_____

Well, after thinking, thinking and thinking again, I did decide to invest my hard earned money in an Ipad Mini!

SO HAPPY I BOUGHT THIS AMAZING LITTLE THING!!!!

  

I was thinking: I do have a laptop, a smartphone... So why would I need an Ipad. Boy, I didn't know HOW I needed one!!!

This thing is absolutely wonderful and I seriously cannot put it down when I get home!

The screen is just wonderful. Perfect size screen (making my Droid look like a tiny dwarf), but also small enough to be super portable!

Cannot recommend it enough!!!!

I am having a ball with some amazing apps:

1. Tunein: you can literally listen to radio from all over the world (the speakers are awesome and good enough to fill an ambient)

2. Zite - customize your news, show them what you like and they build an electronic magazine with what interests you.

3. Pocket - you can save the above Zite news into Pocket, so you can read them whenever you are not connected to the Wifi. 

4. Zinio - awesome magazines online. I did get some subscriptions for free by answering an online research, but the app is great.

5. Dropbox - LOVING the fact that in this "cloud" app, I can view my files in multiple devices: home laptop, Droid and Ipad. Even backs up my Droid and Ipad photos immediately!!!

And, did I mention that all of those are free? 

Seriously, do not even think twice, get one now!!! 

I did get the cheapest one: 16 GB with wifi. Do not regret it at all.

Probably I am just seeing the tip of the iceberg here in terms of what I can do it my little amazing Ipod, I will keep you posted ;-)

Buying a summer dress when it is freezing out...

_____

I cannot believe that I am still wearing a million layers (we just had a March snow shower a couple of days ago in NYC) and... I am shopping for summer dresses already!
And they are on sale!!!? Can you believe it? Summer is really kinda far away and they are already marked down!!!

I was really looking for a white summer dress to replace my old beaten up Zara dress. That poor thing fell to pieces by using and washing it too much.
I just didn't think that I would find one in March, when I am still thinking about scarves and gloves...

Went to Old Navy on my lunch break and guess what... Summer dress extravaganza!

This one really caught my eye:

Reminded me about those early 20th Century dresses that I love so much (the lace) and has a great A-line skirt (good for a curvy gal like me).

The dress fit me perfectly and it was marked down from 36 bucks to only 25!

Cool detailing, huh?

Shame I cannot wear it soon enough!!!!  It is still freezing here in NYC...
