almost all iphone and ipod speakers look ugggly black or white.  this speaker system, from pottery barn teen of all places, comes in five cute colors and has a nice look.  i might get them soon and i’ll report back how they sound.  i’d like to completely replace my alarm clock with something like this.  i hope the alarm sound comes out loudly through the speakers when docked.  stack your speakers for iphone and ipod at pottery barn teen ($129).

earphones never last long.  after trying many different brands at many different prices i’ve learned that it’s not worth spending much money on them since they’ll stop working in a few months anyway.  but, super-cheap earphones aren’t great quality and they’re usually ugly white, black, or silver.  griffin’s tunebuds are a nice alternative — you can get a pack of 5 cute colors for $40 and they look like decent quality.  griffin’s tunebuds (color) (1 for $20 or 5 for $40).

um, so i bought completely different gray jeans and bunny necklace than i tumbled about yesterday.  this one is even cuter and is half the price!  i found it on shanalogic but they were sold out so i bought it on marmar’s wonderful etsy store.  i’m sure i’ll be back someday.  bunny wishes charm necklace by marmar at etsy ($26).

okay, okay.  i didn’t get the delia’s jeans and upgraded to these awesome jeans by j brand.  these look like almost the perfect jeans for me except maybe the rise is a little too low and the flare a little too big, but i like this style too.  these are the most expensive jeans i’ve ever bought but got a nice 15% off through retailmenot.com.  j brand lovestory charcoal bellbottom flare jeans at active endeavors ($125).

boot cut jeans will always be my love but skinny jeans are great as long as they’re not super-skinny.  gray is a great color for jeans and this tone is almost perfect.  delia’s has consistently cute stuff and it’s wonderful how they list the length of all their clothes.  they just opened their first retail store in washington state and i want to check it out as soon as someone wants to drive me.  morgan low-rise skinny gray jeans at delia’s ($49.50).

i’m not usually into necklaces, but i want to change that.  this one from boygirlparty is so incredibly cute.  it reminds me of the cutest thing a caveman ever crafted.  bunny hopping necklace from boygirlparty, via chocolateandsteel’s etsy shop ($44.50).

i love cute little stuffed animals.  shanalogic is a great little online indie boutique and run by the same great lady who runs the awesome desktop-graphic site pixelgirlpresents.  you can find great cute indie finds on etsy or ebay or by googling all around but it’s awesome when places like shanalogic do the work for you.  they sell out of really cute items very fast so i’m going to have to buy this bunny asap… mashmallow bunny plush by mymimi at shanalogic.

i love that converse keeps coming up with new styles.  by far the best place to get converse is good old zappos, which has more styles than anywhere as far as i know.  there are so many styles it blows my mind.  i could spend a billion dollars just on converse there.  pictured is the “light” version that has a pretty cute shape.  charcoal/light blue converse all-star light ox from zappos ($42).

toms shoes are trendy loafer/slip-on shoes made by a guy who was on the amazing race (reality show).  they haven’t reached annoying mainstream crocs/tevas/keens/uggs trendcentral yet, but it looks like that’s their monosyllabic aim.  i think they’re a really cute alternative to canvas or leather loafers like vans.  cindy from true north style really sold me on them with her cute posts.  the only problem so far is that the styles on the toms site are mostly ugly, but i found some cute styles on revolve clothing’s web site (make sure to check retailmenot.com for discounts).  cobalt blue suede toms by toms shoes ($71).

there’s going to be a lot of american apparel on this tumblog, but i’ll try to keep it to new and interesting stuff.  i looove them already but this apron adds to my love in several different ways.  i only wish i needed an apron for anything.  adjustable apron by american apparel (coming soon).

seattle is starting a grocery bag tax so i’m going to start using totes most of the time.  there are actually really cute and comfy ones, better than paper or plastic!  i saw a girl using one of alg’s bags and they are sooo cute and sassy.  i hate meat eaters canvas bag by angry little girls ($25).

i just got obsessed with this jacket.  zappos has a surprisingly huge amount of clothes, a lot of which doesn’t seem to be anywhere else online.  o’neill fillmore fleece jacket ($69).

i have these sneakers in green/blue but i want the grey/pink version too.  i love that zappos can ship usps - don’t stores know they lose business if they only ship ups (from apartment dwellers)?  simple shoes carat - charcoal ($65).
