Which should I buy?

I'm gearing up my Spring wardrobe (even though it is clearly STILL winter) and I can't decide which I should buy:

Safari Jacket $64.99 after EXTRA20 discount
Great price, love the look, will get a lot of wear out of this.



Stripe Popover $59.50 can use my student discount on it to make it a tad cheaper
Can be worn with so many outfits, simple, and classic.



Chambray Popover $78 can also use my student discount
Very versatile, can be used spring and summer... easy to be styled. Can be worn with patterned bottoms.


What do you think? Which top should I get? I'm having such a hard time deciding!

I'd love to buy the safari jacket while the extra20 promo is going on. The drawback is that it'll be final sale... I love the other 2 but I really just can't decide.

Let me know what you think!

POPBACK MANIA!

OMG there were so so so many popbacks this morning that I dragged myself out of bed half asleep. To my surprise only 2 of the 4 things I ordered were actually marked FINAL SALE so I was happy happy happy!

Here's what I got:

Canvas Atelier Jacket in Mineral Grey :)

Wallpaper Jacquard Shorts (Only $19.99!!!)

Chiffon Trellis Tank! I've seen this top styled so well I really hope it works out!

And last but CERTAINLY NOT least, Ocho Rios Print Sweater Dress!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I bought this in a small so I hope it fits! If not, I'm gonna make it fit!!!

I used the free shipping code just because I HAAAAATE paying shipping. Overall, I'm so happy with what I got. I'm going to stop shopping for now.... or at least until I get some Christmas money! Did any of you take part in the Final Sale madness?

I have to admit that I have been snubbed by the final sale before but if something doesn't fit I can always ebay it and if it is defective in ANY way, I am always sure to return it and get my moneys back!!!

Happy shopping Ladies!!! I hope you all have a very happy holiday! :)

Oh la LOFT!

Like many of you, I decided to take part in the "PRESENTS" promo over at Ann Taylor Loft. I found a few cute things and saved $$. I definitely would have bought more but I've spent a lot of money on myself in the past month. Every December I always tend to get a little carried away because Christmas and my birthday are so close together. I usually get duped w/ gifts this time of year... "ohhh that's your birthday AND Christmas gift." Eh, I guess I'll take what I can get.

Well anyway, here is what I bought:

Smocked VNeck Pullover, in Pink Blush

Love this simple look. It's a cute little sweater with non-overwhelming ruffle detail. I chose this color because :
1. I don't have any light pink sweaters
2. It can carry on over to Spring :)
3. It's pretty!

Next up is the Long Cubic Zirconia Fine Link Chain Necklace


I actually saw this necklace in store a while back and thought it really resembled the JCrew Twisted Crystal Necklace. The ATL version is different but achieves the same look without breaking the bank. Can't wait for it to arrive!

Last up, and my FAVORITE: The Jewel Neck Tee

I bought this tee in Vintage Plum and think it is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S! It totally looks like the JCrew Bijou top but is much cheaper! I'm so glad that Gigi mentioned this tee because otherwise I might not have ever known about it!

I would have gone to the mall today but I had a feeling that it would be madness! I resorted to clicking here and clicking there! I love me some online shopping!!!

Hurry on over to ATL if you haven't already! The PRESENTS promo will be over soon! :)
Enjoy your weekend & stay warm!

Today's shoppin' goodies!

I paid a visit to Banana Republic to use my fun $15 Birthday Coupon (which i WISH JCrew would start giving out!) and found some great deals!

They had:
Soft Cashmere Sweaters for $59.99
Thick Wool and Merino Sweaters for under $40
Chunky Scarves for $29
Various Tees and Tops from $10-30!

Love the prices!

I walked away with this Cowl Neck Sweater for $29.88 (still $49.99 online)
LOVE this sweater! It's warm and fashionable! I've been eyeing it since fall and now finally it's mine! :)

I also picked up 2 long patterned silk scarves
this one is pretty with a pop of green, $11.99

and this one with pretty spots, $14.99

Cheap!!! I love sale shopping! :)

And for my birthday present, my boyfriend took me to Build-A-Bear! We made this cute Hello Kitty stuffed animal! I always wanted one! This Kitty is extra special because she's all dressed up in SOX gear! :)

I hope you all enjoy your weekend! I know I will!

And just for kicks, here's a picture of my dog!

Some QUICK reviews!

Hi bloggy friends! Sorry I've been so MIA! I'm almost done with the semester so I've been rather busy. I'm super excited because my birthday is just around the corner! (SATURDAY!) The big 2-4!
:)

But anyway, I ordered a couple things during the past few promos to check 'em out. Some hot, some NOT!

LOVE:

Printed Kelsey! LOVE LOVE LOVE times a million! Cute top! Great fit! I ordered this in a 2 since it was the only size left. To my surprise, it fit! The ruffles aren't too crazy. It's silk, button down, and perfect for dressing up or down. If you get a chance to grab this one, i HIGHLY recommend it!



Sequin Ruffle Tank- LOVE! I ordered this in a small because I had a feeling it would be stretchy/spandexy. I was right! It's stretchy-ish. I didn't want it to hug my tummy but other than that, I'd say its TTS. The sequins around the arm are fun and only on one side which makes it rather edgy. The front ruffle is kinda *just there* so it's not overwhelming at all. You'll definietely like it if you get it. The navy matched with black is hot!


DON'T LOVE:

Silk Lumiere Cami- It's a pretty shade of lavender, and the style was very promising but it just looked horrible on me. Maybe because the sizing was a little weird... The chest was too tight on me and once I zipped it up, it was seriously uncomfortable! I could probably size up to a 2 but then it would definitely cut low in the front. I might try it again in a different size but I guess I can live without it for now.


Organza Sash Tank- All I have to say is OMG LOL. That's what I thought when i put it on. The sash seriously goes down one side of your body which makes your other boob just stick out. It looked so weird. My bf saw it on me and was like, "you should return that." LOL. He read my mind. I ordered it in an XS and the tank fit fine and was comfy but wow that sash is all wrong. Save your money... buy something else!


Sorry that's all for now, I'll be back soon! :)
Enjoy your week!

I bought a subscription for my mom! The first issue won't arrive till January... but she'll love it anyway! :)

To buy? or Not to buy?

Ahhh. I'm on the fence about ordering a new Black wool coat and I just can't decide!!!

Which should I buy?

1. Wool Ruffle Front Coat


2. Wool Duffle Coat


3. Wool Harbor Peacoat


I want something warm...
Something cute, stylish, well fitting, and good for another couple years down the road.

Do you think that the Ruffle Front Coat will be out of style next year?
Do you think that the Duffle Coat is not flattering enough? Dare I say masculine?!
Do you think that the Harbor Peacoat is warm enough?

Ahhh... decisions, decisions, decisions...

I have other JCrew coats but none that are wool & black. I have enough of the "Double Cloth" material and am ready for nicer coat.

What do you think? Should I cave? Or wait around for a better deal?

Come to Mama!!!!

Yes! I finally decided to get my hands on a Mini Campo! (AND AT A GREAT PRICE!)

I'm going to love you like no other! :)

I decided to return almost all of the items from my past couple of orders because of the following reasons:
1. I didn't love them. They didn't fit right, they were meh, or they were cheapy. Why should I keep something that I just don't love? RETURN. RETURN. RETURN!
2. They were itchy. (Colorblock Cardigan & Dolce striped sweater especially!!! I couldn't stop scratching! And when I stopped scratching I knew I'd be itchy a minute later!)
3. They were DEFECTIVE!!! (My striped scalloped gloves had some weird EXTRA knitting on the end of the thumb! It's okay though b/c i exchanged them for some way cuter ones for a dollar cheaper! OH AND MY CRESCENT COLLAR CAMI CAME WITH NO TAG AND A MAKEUP STAIN!!!!!!! WTH?!?!?!!? THAT WAS DEFINITELY USED!!!! C'MON QUALITY CONTROL!!!)

I'm really starting to lose faith in the Crew. They are just shelling out disappointment after disappointment! :(

On the flip side, I ended up LOVING the Evie, Cambridge Cable Cardigan, Forever Cardigan, and studded belt. I returned my tissue necklace tee b/c I was sure that I'd rip or lose one of the jewels within 1 wearing.

After unpacking, I realized that I have a ton of clothes. I did a ton of Black Friday & After Thanksgiving shopping that I reeeeally shouldn't buy any more stuff. The next time I fly home my mom recommended me just bringing an empty luggage because she knows I'll do more shopping in Cali. I think I've drank all the Crewlade that I can for now... time for a break!

Did any of you take part in the GIFTS promo? Do tell!
