My Weekend Shopping Finds and #200!

I had a B-L-A-S-T shopping this weekend! I found some great stuff at BR, Nordstrom Rack, and NY&CO.

First up BR:
I founds 2 pairs of Earrings both $6.97 each! Such a steal!
These ones are super pretty!



And these studs are a purple amethyst color. Sorry for the bad picture!



I also bought these sandals! Super cute and surprisingly comfy! $24.99


I'm thinking about getting the black patent ones too since those are incredibly cute! Online I think that they are still $29.99 so check your local BR if you're interested!

And last but not least from BR, I got these fun Satin Ballet flats for $21!



I'm not exactly sure what to wear with these yet but they were too good to pass up!

Next up: Nordstrom Rack
As I strolled around the overly crowded and messy Nordstrom Rack, I found these Patent Wedge shoes.



And they were only $19.90!!! I looove the wedge look and how they fade from Green to black! Looove it!

And now for: NY&Co.
I only went inside because they had these huge 50% off signs in the window and just after a minute in the store I found 2 items that caught my eye.

Vneck Print Dress was $60 got it for $30!
Here's how it looked on me:



I thought it was pretty cute and certainly has a lot of potential. The only minor thing is that I might have it taken up a few inches just so that it reaches knee length.

My last item: "Ikat" Print Scarf $11.86



Hmm, it looks kinda ugly in this picture but IRL, it is waaay different looking! I saw this scarf triple wrapped on a mannequin that had on a magenta top and denim jacket. I'll have to re-create the look one day but I can definitely see myself wearing this scarf all through fall!

So that's it for my purchases! Did you do any shopping this weekend? I was surprised that there were still sales going on! I guess everyone is trying to get rid of those last few summer items!

On a VERY BIG side note: Today marks for me my 200th post! I can't believe it! I started this blog back in December so that I could started my rants and raves on JCrew but now it has grown into so much more! I have had so much fun keeping this blog running and have met so many great ladies through it all!
So to all of you f-a-b-o-u-l-o-u-s readers, THANKS for always stopping by! And keep on coming back! :)

Yep, UNDER $10!

And when you join you get $5 to spend!!! SERIOUSLY! I just got something for $7! Go CRAZY! :)

I'm sorry but...

I think these earrings are too big!
Look how H-U-G-E they are!!!



This is Los Angeles Good Day LA anchor Dorothy Lucey. And yes, she wore them to work. I guess these are "IN" style but personally, they look like they are heavy and just like "BAM" in your face! What do you think??? Would you wear these?

Btw, have you guys noticed lately how "stylish" and less "business-attire-y" News Reporters, ahem! I mean Broadcast Journalists have gotten?! I'm surprised! They're getting more and more casual everyday!

LOL: Creepy or Cute???

Evian's New Roller Skating Babies. Hmmmmmm I'm laughing outside while still feeeling a tad creeped out. What do you think?

For Sale!

As much as I LOVE this necklace, I'm not getting as much use out of it as I had originally hoped. So to anyone that would love to give it a good home, come and get it! :)


I've only worn it 3 times so it is practically new.
I'm asking $40 shipped

I also have the Vachetta Brown Belt, Size small $23 shipped.

Feel free to email me questions. Thanks!

Oh no, I CAVED.

After fellow JCA Jean found JCrew's SOHO store to be filled with necklaces, I gave them a call and to my SURPRISE, THEY HAD THE ONE I WANTED!!!

Crystal-Flower Charm Necklace $29.99



I tend to ignore full priced jewelry altogether and so once items go on sale I usually end up waiting until the last minute for them to be dirt cheap or end up missing out because they're sold out. I already missed out on the Magnolia flower necklace and so when I missed this flower charm crystal necklace I was super sad.

But now, I can be HAPPY! Woop woop! Still within my $30 spending max too! :)
Did any of you ladies cave at the last minute... or thinking about it?!

PS: Thanks Jean! :)

I went shopping!

My mom took Monday off so that we could have another fun shopping outing. This time we ventured off to Costa Mesa, California to stroll around South Coast Plaza. That mall is super nice! It has all of those high end stores that I can only wish to afford. But it sure was fun to window shop! I went into JCrew (of course!) and even though that store is HUGE, I was super UNDER-whelmed! Their sales section went from wall to wall but I really didn't see anything i needed to have. For the most part I was pretty bored with all of the summer stuff and I guess I'm just waiting for fall to come around!

I then went into "Zara" and found my own cute petite version of a "Poplin Cargo Jacket."



I got this Jacket for $24.99 so it still kept within my $30/per piece max rule. It doesn't have a hood but still manages to give off the boyish jacket look without being oversized or too masculine. You know that feeling when you see something that you just LOVE on the hanger and just HAVE to try it on then and there without going to the fitting room... I did that with this jacket and seriously fell in love with it. The army green color is perfect for fall and I can't wait to re-create this look:



My last set of purchases came from Banana Republic. Let me just say that they were practically giving their clothes away. Stuff was seriously marked down even without an additional percent off sale. (I must have missed that this weekend.) But anyway, I ended up walking away with 6 pieces:
3 long sleeve v-neck sweaters (12.99 each) one Orange, one Black, and one White. They're quite comparable to JCrew's Cotton V Neck Sweater but with a slightly deeper V. I also bought a fun blouse for 13.99, a Suit Coat/Jacket Piece for 17.99, and a Tie Wrap Sweatshirt/Jacket for 18.99 that has the same material as the Rumpled Terry Cardigan. And the best part?! I spent LESS than $100! Woop woop! :)
(Sorry I didn't take pics.)

So all in all, my shopping day was a success! I love shopping during sales! It just feels so good when you pay less than full price! :)

So did any of you take part in any 4th of July sales?! If so, what did you score? Are you taking part in JCrew's 20% off sale???

Happy Shopping!
