Holiday Presents...

...for myself!

I bought this JCrew Garland Cami today for only $49.99...on sale, so grab one before they're all gone. I plan on pairing it with this Jackie Cardigan.

As for some other recent purchases...I've been trying to limit my spending being that the holidays are right around the corner and the general state of the economy. I am normally not a big fan of any of the pants at Old Navy, but I was in need of some new longer slacks that I could wear with heels...and these fit perfect! I bought them in khaki and black, and I love them!

My favorite recent purchase is this Ruffle Cami, also from Old Navy. Who else thinks these look kinda sorta like something that JCrew would offer? Well, I do...and they're only $24.50. I got one in white, black, and pink, although the website has limited colors available.

I have a few other purchases I'll share...but I'll save those for tomorrow. I've been very absent from this blog in recent months...mostly because I just haven't been inspired to write. I'll try to make an effort...but rest assured, I've been reading all your blogs out there, even if I haven't been writing on my own.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Guess what.

I just realized I am almost at 100 posts...this is number ninety-nine! Wowza.

P.S. I'm back! I'll be updating regularly soon if anyone is still out there. Getting caught up on my blog reading...1000+ down to 916 :)

I've been a slacker...

In case anyone out there is still reading...I've been a major slacker and haven't updated in a longggg time. My apologies. It's been a busy summer and I just haven't found the time for blogging. I'll get caught up soon.

Hope everyone is having a great summer! :)

New purchases...

Old Navy has some great new summer dresses. I picked up this one for only $29! It's a very casual linen fabric though, and I'll be wearing it with flip flops even though the pic shows the model in heels.

Yesterday I finally broke down and bought a pair of Tory Burch Reva's in black patent. I've tried so many different kinds of flats with mixed results...so I finally decided to spring for the brand I've heard so much about. I've yet to wear them, but I'm hoping they'll be my new favorite work shoe :)

In other news, I cut my hair into a shoulder length bob yesterday. I'm still getting used to it, I've always had hair to the middle of my back. I'll post pics later in the week once I master the new 'do.


Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Happy Easter!

Sorry by for absense. I've been swamped at work, my parents were in town for a week visiting, and I've been pretty lazy. I'll get back to blog world soon.

Wanted...

...this rug that I saw on Atlanta Bride's awesome blog (seriously, start following her if you don't already). How cute is it!?!?! I ♥ that shade of blue. Too bad it's ridiculously overpriced at £395.00!!!

:(

I think I found the one!

The perfect reunion dress that is! If you remember, I got a Macy's card for Christmas that I've yet to use, and I was browsing through their website tonight when I came across this Calvin Klein spring dress.
Calvin Klein Pleated Dress - $128.00

I absolutely LOVE it!!! I'll be heading over to Macy's tomorrow to try it on. I love that it's Tiffany's blue too :)

This is another dress I came across that I love...it'll be my backup dress.

Donna Morgan Silk Dress - $188.00

Anyone else out there come across any fabulous spring dresses?

Twilight DVD

The Twilight DVD was released tonight at midnight! My friend D and I got our copies at Borders (no we didn't pre-order, D just stopped by Borders earlier today and got us tickets so we didn't have to wait in line) and cannot wait to watch the deleted and extended scenes. So excited!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! My parents are flying in tomorrow, so I'll be spending it with them. Keep your fingers crossed that the nice weather continues.

G'night.

JCrew

Ever run into problems, or run into a rude sales person at JCrew? Check out this story....hillarious.

What would you do with 30 pairs of shoes? Personally, I'd probably give all my friends matching shoes for Christmas/birthdays...and then wear a pair back into the store and smile smuggly at the sales girl...if she even still worked there, that is! Good to know that executives at JCrew actually care about the customer...we are the reason they have jobs afterall. I know I do my part, ha! :)

Quote of the Week

"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate."

-Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

Something to think about?

P.S. I chose this photo of Carrie because I ♥ that dress! I have a kinda-sorta replica by Isaac Mizrahi from Target, which you can get here for only $22.49 on clearance! All you need is a black belt and you're good to go! This was the outfit I wore for my 6th Annual 21st Birthday Party last summer ;)

My appologies...

...I've been seriously slacking on posting...although I have been reading and commenting here and there. We've had some cutbacks at my office, and I lost my assistant unfortunately :( So I've been working extra hard, which inevitably leads to longer hours.

I'll try to make some time and get back to blogging soon! I just realized I now have 13 followers, so THANK YOU!!! :)
