Fabulous Find Fridays

What are those? I know I haven't done them in a few weeks, but today I have to share a fabulous find of my own with you!

The only thing I love more than shopping is finding amazing sales & deals. I have always been a firm believer that you can look beautiful in Gucci, Prada, or Target. Last night I was randomly engaging in retail therapy browsing through the mall when I found these beauties. Teasing me with their details, these lovelies were calling my name. I realize I don't need another pair of shoes, but I am sure I'll find an occasion to wear these. And how adorbs would they look with a pair of skinnies? *love*

And then my heart skipped a beat! Price tag- $12! Yes I said $12! And then things got even better- they were MY size. All I could think about is "these were supposed to be mine!"

After taking my special treasure to the closest check out line, secretly holding my breath I watched the girl ring them up. Yupp, $12.87 with tax! Seriously, how much better does it get?

What were some of the fabulous deals you've discovered recently?

HAPPY FRIDAY dolls! This weekend hubs and I are going home to visit our families. I can't wait! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Fun Find Fridays

Happy Friday, lovelies!

As you may remember a few weeks ago I decided to do Fun Find Fridays, where I share with you all of my favorite secrets. Well, what I am about to share with you today is MAJAH! (said in my best V. Becks voice)

Recently I discovered a FABULOUS sample sale website that offers designer brands at a steal of a deal for a few hours to like 2 days! We're talking cosmetics and designers (like Gucci, BCBG, Burberry, Seven, Rolex, Christian Lacroix and many more) at 50%-75% off! That's insane, especially if you're like me and not only love to shop but love a deal even more. Oh, and they also carry designer makeup that is normally never on sale like Stila, Lorac, Hard Candy etc.

Do you want designer clothes and high-end makeup, but don't want to pay the outrageous prices?

Just leave me a comment with your e-mail address and I'll send you an invite to join this private, member’s only club and join in the fun!

Oh, and the best part is you won't have to fight millions of other crazies fashionistas over the last of something. By cutting the costs of middlemen and distribution channel, HauteLook guarantees that you get authentic merchandise at the best price possible.

Just comment with your email and I'll send invites!

Happy Shopping!

L-O-V-I-N-G!

Happy Monday!!!

First, I am loving this weather right now. L-O-V-I-N-G. And you know when I use the little - spaces - between the letters in loving that I am serious.

In fact, I am so dead serious I am going to do it again. L-O-V-I-N-G!

And you know what else I am L-O-V-I-N-G? These adorable fall clothes I keep seeing everywhere!

SO EXCITED. SO IN LOVE.

So this weekend while the rest of the population sat in crowded bars cheering, singing and yelling at the T.V., I opted for a shopping trip with my Mama to a few nearly empty stores.

While everyone else opted to watch the touchdowns being scored, I on the other hand, managed to score a few of my own with some pretty fabulous finds!

My new coat. It's full of color. It's easy to wear anytime, appropriate anywhere. Love!

HANDS-DOWN one of my faaaaavorite items for fall- a new bag!

Love the attitude of this bag. Pretty and stylish with the bold hardware that gives it a little edge. Plus, the divided interior and organizing pockets will be working to keep my stuff in order.

What are some of your fave fall purchases?!

Willpower? Not in my vocabulary.

Dear forever 21,

I am currently sitting at my desk, shamelessly drooling after your amazing creations.

Why must you do this to me?

Just please send me all of the above, and we'll call it even.

Love,

your most loyal customer

p.s. Happy Friday everyone! This weekend I am happy to report that I have no bridal showers going on (i know, crazy right?), so I am going to spend it hiding at F21 with the hubby and my family! Have a great weekend ladies!

Priorities Shmiorities

Dear Husband,

I'd like to mention, that yesterday I was a good little wifey and I even cleaned the house. Also, I think you are very cute. And smart. And sexy. And you're totally the greatest.

Now what do you say that we just forgo paying the mortgage this month?





And maybe not next month too?



Love,

Your adoring {and new shoes deprived} wife.

Sassy, Sexy, and a Bit Bohemian

Love, love, love it! And with Spring mere 9 days away, I cannot wait to shed layers for summery pieces. And even though my shopping mandate is still on, a girl can still look. :)

My style inspiration for this summer is Ms. Richie. Here are some of my favorite Nicole Richie looks.

These looks are quintessential Nicole: sassy, sexy, and a bit bohemian. I am totally loving them all. Nicole just looks chic and fabulous! And her trademark Jackie O shades are a must-have.

Are you a fan of her bohemian style?

Monday Madness!

It's just another manic Monday! Sorry for the lack of posts recently. Life is totally getting in the way. I promise to be back to blogging in full force this week.

The days have been going by so fast for me it's ridiculous! One thing that seems to be taking forever is the warm weather! Last week I got my first taste of mid 50 degree weather and it was lovely. Now I'm back to huddling up!

But I did spend every hour a significant amount of time this weekend shopping and I did find some pretty great deals that I have to share with you all!

Kensie Girl- High wasted pencil skirt

The black pencil skirt is a style staple.

I am especially fond of this skirt paired with a vibrant colored cropped cardigan (purple or magenta come to mind), sexy camisole (lace is a must!) and killer pumps. The best thing about this purchase is that this classy pencil skirt is versatile and can work for a business meeting or a night on the town.

Fuschia Ruffle Satin Halter Top

Adorable satin halter top has layers of front ruffles. I love the color. The picture does not do it justice. It is much brighter and pink in real life. It looks great with highwasited skirt or dress pants. Can't wait to pair it up with my new skirt!

Lela Rose- Satin Ballet Flat

Designer Lela Rose marries the elegance of an evening shoe with the comfort of a flat. This shoes features a luxurious satin upper, a bold vamp bow and a d'Orsay cut side. The d’orsay cut and big satin bow gives the shoe a lighter feel and added femininity. This is the flirtiest shoe I have seen in a long time. I just love the flouncy bow! And the best part is that this is a versatile style that can be worn with flirty a-line dresses and even pant suits.

American Eagle Jeans- Two Pairs
I know I may not be 15 anymore - but I still love AE jeans. I love them so much that yesterday I bought not one, but two pairs. They sit low on the hips and the long style is just the right length for my heel-wearing 5’7 frame. Not to mention that they are so comfy and make my tush look grrreat. And when it comes to sizes, what I love most about American Eagle is that their jeans are dead-on accurate. I hate it when I have to test different sizes just to figure out which one is my size when I already know my waist and leg length.

And the best thing about my weekend shopping extravaganza is how much, or how little, I spent! The total for all the items above comes out to $110! Not bad for a pair of shoes, two pairs of jeans, a skirt and a top. I love bargain shopping and hunting for good deals! Shopping is always a little sweeter when you don’t break the bank.

HAPPY MONDAY!

Charlie's Got Style

First of all, thank you all for your compliments and sweet comments about our little guy. Charlie and I really appreciate it :)

However, recently, I have been spending hours a few minutes online shopping for a full wardrobe few things for munchkin.

Here is what I am thinking:

Pretty cute, huh?

Hubby calls it excessive, but I call it necessary. I always thought putting clothes on dogs was for decoration until yesterday. We took Charlie out and he was shivering like a leaf. Hubby is still totally against walking a "little dog with clothing." But I think the items in the pic above could be considered "manly" enough to walk the dog in public with. Right??

I can only imagine the abuse our bank account is going to take once we have kids. Geesh.

Night Out!

Well, tonight hubby and I are heading to dinner with about 30 of his coworkers and their significant others. I am very excited. I have only met a couple of his friends from work and cannot wait to meet everyone else. It's going to be nice to be able to put faces to all the names.

And, in honor of my recent discovery of Polyvore, (i'm hooked!) here is the outfit I will be wearing.

Well, I have finally managed to cram my lipgloss into my tiny little 'going out' purse, and it looks like we’re ready to head out!

Ciao! <3
