So if you're looking for gift ideas, I'm going to make it easy for you. Go to Kohl's or kohls.com and pick this dress up for me in a Medium.
Now that that's out of the way, I can share with the rest of you this lovely dress that I actually found on Kohl's a bit ago, but have been waiting for the price to drop. Well, the day has come, y'all. I checked today and it now fits under my price cap. I couldn't be more thrilled.
This lovely piece is from the ELLE collection at Kohl's, which is in my opinion, right up there with Isaac Mizrahi for Target. Fashionable, affordable, and even fairly well constructed garments for the price. Get them while you can and especially before everyone else finds out about it. You probably can't make an entire wardrobe from it, but you can find some really great stand-out pieces to work into your existing closet.
This dress is made from a polyester blend, which means it's fairly thin and has a LOT of movement. Perfect for spring/summer days when we don't need anything sticking to us. The waist is high and a little empire without being over the top and making it look like maternity wear. Also, what you cannot see in this photo is that there is a DARLING bow in the back of the dress at the waist. Movement, striking color, universally flattering...what else do you need? You need it to be under 30 bucks, you say? Well, it's done that too. So stop your demands and buy it already.

Lots of Summer-breeze infused love, kasey
So I did. And then I vested him! hahahahah
Okay, terrible pun but I decided to do another Friday for the Fellas, and I managed to find 2 items that TOTAL less than 30 bucks! I am so happy/pleased with myself.
I wonder if any guys read this? If you're out there, let me know! I hate to think I'm spending time finding clothes for men that don't exist, and Himself never reads my blog, so I can't even tell myself I'm doing it for him.
Anyway, these 2 items are from Kohl's and I'll start with the belt that has both a sweet looking gunmetal buckle, and is reversible, so it works no matter what. I love it-it has a modern look without being over the top, and it's really versatile. You could pair it with almost anything and pull it off (tuxes excluded).
The second is this ADORABLE vest that is SEVEN DOLLARS right now. I am a huge fan of the sweater vest in general, and this one has a great color scheme. I would love it even more if they had thrown in some navy, orange and electric green, but you can't have everything for under 10 bucks, at least not in my neck of the woods!
Well, there you have it. Fellas, fork out less than 30 bucks, pair these items with some cords, a grey or white tee and sneakers, and stir vigorously for some instant hotness.

Cheap, department-store love, kasey
This is a really, really great find. There is nothing I enjoy more than when a designer makes a deal with a national chain of stores to carry some of their product. Granted, it's never going to be the avant-garde collection, but it's usually quite a notch above in its overall design, while being just right on the wallet.
One small aside - I also really like it when a designer goes box store because it takes some of the exclusive snobbery out of the branding process of "designer" and it always makes me feel better to pollute that well.
Moving on -- this little gem comes to us from Kohl's, a store which I used to think only existed to carry bad jewelry so my mom could buy it for me for my birthday. I have been proven wrong. This is in the nightgown/camisole section, so I am guessing it's a bit thin, but I can see this really working in the summer, or over a pair of dark leggings. I can also see it working in the bedroom quite well (wink,nudge.)
Let them have La Perla, we shall take Vera Wang and be able to pay the rent on time, thankyouverymuch.
Love, Kasey
