I've spent the day with the first round of the September issues. The September issues are the biggest and best issues of the year. And fall fashion is the best fashion season of the year. On top of spending the day neck deep in the best of the best of fall fashion, MTV is running Hills behind the scenes marathons. Ma
What more could a California Dreamin' girl want?
Mags are: Lucky, Elle, Glamour & Ocean.
I also picked up a copy of Twilight today - yeah, I know I'm about 3 years behind on this stuff - but I've resisted for too long. Im just about all prepped for Vegas - outfits picked out, purchases made, all that needs to be done is pack the bags!
Hope your Sunday is equally relaxing!
2 - Those three new pairs of shoes totalled LESS than $20.
3 - Those 3 pairs of shoes are NOT no-name. I was killing time before a movie in Casa Grande and went to Dillards. Lo and behold, a rack with a $4.99 sign on it, with shoes. Normally, this is a turn off, what good can possibly come from 5 dollar shoes, right? WRONG. TRIBECA, BCBG & Jessica Simpson shoes on super-clearance. I just hit the JACKPOT! I passed on the BCBG ones (too tight) but snagged these beauties.
4 - THEY ARE ALL GORGEOUS
5 - I've purchased 6 pairs of shoes in 30 days. I'm done now.
Outfit post, for good measure - this is now known as my lucky top - Necklace & wrap from H&M, Jeans from a boutique in Montreal.
GOOD, GOOD DAY! :D Amazing shoes, funny movie, good food and great conversation with a great friend that I don't see often enough!
FINALLY! The perfect pair of shoes presented themselves for Liane's wedding. They'll go with the dress and all the accessories I've pre-chosen.
I had to!
left to right: new Enzo pink strappy heels - gorgeous, so comfy and def what I've been craving since seein SATC & a Juicy Couture Wishbone Charm necklace. Everything here was less than $75.. together!
I need to put myself on shopping hiatus! But I'm really trying to step up my shoe collection. I've grown tired of the same Issac Mizrahi shoes over and over again.. I need some fun shoes! And I'm of the policy that "one shoe in, one shoe out".. so that everytime a new pair of shoes comes into the house, I get rid of an old pair I don't wear anymore... either by giving them to a friend, donating them, or tossing them out. If I could have the amount of shoes I have now, and they're all shoes like the ones above, I think I'd be the happiest girl ever.
Now, the next task.. finding a dress to go with those shoes for Liane's wedding! ;)
I love you. And your cheap bags. I snagged this one, for $15.. it's Marc Jacobs ESQUE, from about 2 years ago. I've been looking at the Melie Bianco version for a while, and it's been sold out everywhere in black... so I'm stoked that I found it on Ebay!
Edited to add:
and this is what I wore yesterday.. my new bag will take this to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL! <3
I am coming up on the tail-end of what has got to be one of the most brutal flu's I've ever had. Not the stomach flu kind, the lung infection kind. I've been out of commission literally all week.. I'm still without a voice (not that Nick is complaining) and I can half hear out of my right ear. I'm all nasty congested, I haven't eaten solids since Sunday (or slept through the night, for that matter) and I'm wearing brown gauchos and a navy henley.
If that outfit isn't proof enough of my illness, I don't know what is.
I did head down to Tucson this past weekend though, Nick hung out with Ryan, I hung out with Diana. We went through her closet (What Not to Wear style, too.. I'm still in shock she didn't fist me in the teeth when I tossed out her plaid miniskirt) and then shopped for two days straight. I own these, a unfortunately for my little novacheck pocket book, quite a few more:
Okay, I don't want grief from anyone... how often can you get amazing deals at Banana Republic??!! Just to give an idea of the savings I made, the silver top above originally retailed for $78. I paid $18.The day was FULL of deals like that. Not to mention that Diana scored the sequin dress they had over the holiday for $45, down from an amazing $228!
Ugh, and the lipgloss? I have no excuse.. VivaGlam VI by MAC. It's lovely. Goes with my new hammered pewter bangle from F21.
I'm done shopping now. Promise.
Promise!!
I love when the boss is gone. I get to catch up on some emails, talk to the girls, shop online.. sigh, it's just so nice. So, this weekend was a great, typical Phoenix weekend. It consisted of video games and bbq with the boy on Saturday, a badass "get my hotness on" workout Sunday morning, a swim in the pool, a historical museum and a nice lunch with a good friend.
God, when life is good... it's really good.
So this week is looking to be pretty tame. Going to spend a good amount of time at the gym, have some drinks Friday night. I picked some new skirts at ON, let me know what you think! I'll post pics me in them when I get them in :)
Okay, off to work.. a little bit ;)
