Got me some new necklaces!!!

....and for cheap!!!

Crystal Cadence Necklace in Butterscotch (Currently $70 online)


I bought it off the weekly exchange so I got a GREAT deal (Thanks JCrew Junkie!) and at first I thought that the jewels were INCREDIBLY huge, but now I love them! This necklace is just a fun statement piece! The butterscotch color is perfect for fall and the complimentary pinkish color is soft and pretty. The fun thing about this necklace is that it can be wrapped around twice giving you options on what length you want to wear it. The goldish metal is actually bronze in real life. Overall, I never thought that I would wear such a huge necklace but it goes great with my boatneck painter tee and some of my other fall clothes.

Mixed Shape Crystal Necklace $19.99! But currently sold out.


I already had this necklace in the clear crystal color (still haven't worn it) and now I have it in the blackish color. This necklace is GREAT for layering and was such a steal for as much use I'll get out of it. If you find one around, I highly recommend you snatching it! It is versatile and can easily be dressed up or down! :)

And this morning online I picked up:
Scattered Glass Bead Necklace! For only $19.99!

I've been drooling over this necklace after seeing this picture
in the September Catalog. I'm glad it finally went on sale! I snatched it online right away because i knew it would sell out fast. I didn't even hesitate despite the fact that I had to pay shipping. I can't wait to get it! Anyone have this necklace?

And slightly OT, but still concerning jewelery, I received the Dangling Crystal Ring yesterday and I am pretty disappointed. The jewels look overly huge, fake, and not quite secure. And when they said dangling...they weren't kidding. The crystals seriously dangle. I really wasn't a fan. I'm going to return it today in hopes of getting something else that I like. This ring really was weird because the round metal ring wasn't even a complete ring. It was like 3/4 a ring and the top part just dangled on little loops. It's so hard to describe...but yeah, it's going back.

I'm stoppin' by the store later this morning to check things out. I've heard about some great markdowns in the sale section and I really wanna find some deals!!! Happy shopping ladies!

YAY! New Arrivals!!

Whenever new arrivals come out, I always feel like a kid in the candy shop! I got that feeling of being overjoyed because I saw a few things that I just had to have! (Lol, just a few things! After I clicked through the new stuff and the catalog I was kinda sad because it wasn't THAT exciting.) What did you think?

On a side note, sorry times 100 for being away for a whole week or so! It has been INCREDIBLY hectic! School and studying have consumed my life! (I've been wearing lounge pants...TO SCHOOL! AHH! I'm guilty of being a fashion no-no!) I could hardly even catch a break to do any online shopping. I've been studying non-stop with my study group for the past 2 weeks for this test that is FINALLY OVER. So as soon as I got home and read that the new arrivals were out, I seriously busted out my credit card to do some well earned shopping.

I took advantage of the SHOPFALL promo even though I didn't have free shipping. Like many lucky ladies (who get it all month long!!!) I'm so jealous!!!... I wish I got it again but I did my fair share of shopping with that VIP card. JCrew's selectivity is SOOO RANDOM!

But anywho, here is what I got:

Tivoli Boiled Wool Cardigan $78 (LOVE THIS COLOR!! I wonder how long this cardi will be on me?? I'm 5'4... Eh, oh well it's sooo cute! It really better be soft and not toooo itchy!)

Always Cardigan $29.50 (looks like a nice/comfy little something to throw on with jeans..)

Strada ruffle cardigan $88 (I'm seriously going to copy the exact same outfit! LOOOVE IT! Love the pattern, love the side ruffle, ahhh I LOVE IT ALL!)
PS: I got the toothpick ankle pants in the black rinse and I'm loooving them!!

Did any of you take advantage of this promo? I think it was a pretty good deal considering new stuff NEVER really gets promos. I just had to shell out $15 for shipping... sad!!! I guess spending less than $160 (shipping included) really wasn't so bad. Thank goodness Massachusetts doesn't charge tax on these things!! WOOP WOOP!

AND THE WINNER IS.....

TASTYMOOG!

AND A REMINDER!!!! Today is the last day to enter the Aldo Bracelet Giveaway!!! (See previous post for details!)

Oooh and I seriously had to blog about this: so there is this girl in my class who must be incredibly OBSESSED with JCrew... its so funny because I swear, everyday she comes to class DECKED out in Crew gear. For class. Seriously, head to toe! She even layers her necklaces, rolls her jeans, rolls her blazer sleeves and lives in her Jack Purcells. I wonder if she is a JCA?? She has some great clothes but I don't think I'll tell her about the JCA site because she might think that I'm weird or something for writing about the clothes I buy.. hehe. Would you tell a random stranger about your blog or the JCA site??

But anyway... Sorry for not having much fashion to post about. This has been an incredibly busy week! I'll be sure to post about alll of the great goodies I've bought during this VIP free shipping promo! Happy shopping to you all! The weekend is almost here!

GIVEAWAY!!! (wannabe storybook charm bracelet!)

I popped into the mall this afternoon to return that weird streamer tank that WAS NOT my Corsage Cardigan.. I browsed around JCrew and saw a lot of nice things that were NOT on sale so I had to pass. I walked around, bought a cookie to snack on, and swung into ALDO!

They happened to have a good amount of "Storybook Charm" bracelets currently 2 for 1 so I decided to grab 2! The first thing my BF said was "WHOA. That bracelet has got a lot going on.." LOL, he's right but I had to have it! It was only $15 for two so you know what, ONE OF YOU CAN HAVE IT!!!

I'm giving away this baby!


Rules to enter:
1. Follow my BLOG or already be a follower.
2. Leave your email so that I can contact you if you win.
3. Leave a quick sentence on what is currently your FAVORITE JCrew item and why!

I'll choose a winner via random number generator next Thursday: OCT 8!!
GOOOOOD LUCK!

OH NO! I'm sick! :( ...and one GREAT POPBACK!

I woke up feeling sooooo horrible!! Stuffy nose, sore throat, and overall just bllaaaaah! It must be the weather or something... I really don't know how I caught this cold so fast!

I wish I could give ya'll a nice post raving about my NEW JASPE!!! (Which came in the CORRECT SIZE and color!! hehe) I'll have to take an IRL once I feel a tad bit better. Can't wait to wear it with some leggings! :)

OOOH and some other AWESOME NEWS... I FINALLY got my hands on an IMPERIAL TEE!!

YAY!!!! I missed out on it when it first came out, then I missed on it again when it went on sale. There weren't even any on eBay in my size!!! But since I woke up SUPER early this morning, since I couldn't sleep... I decided to check out JCrew!!! I was soooo lucky to browse the sale section to find an Imperial Tee in a size small!!! I've learned my lesson in the pass with popbacks... once you find that one item, don't wait around and browse other categories!! GO STRAIGHT TO CHECKOUT!!! That's what I sure did! And now all I have to do is wait for it to ship!!

WOO HOOO for being a VIP! Thank goodness for free shipping!!!
I'll post back soon with a great IRL of my JASPE! :)

Maggie and Fiona are screaming for my attention!

I just want to thank so many of you for helping me in my search for that Beloved Corsage Cardigan! I decided not to pursue it only because I've reeeeeeeeeally spent a lot of money in the past few weeks. At the moment I guess I can live without it. I recently cleaned my room and fixed/organized my clothes and there are a lot of things that I totally forgot that I had! I'm going to try shopping my closet from now on... BUT if a JCrew sale/promo happens within the week I'm SOOOOO joining in!!! (Assuming that it's a free ship/additional % promo.) I can feel one coming on!!! Can't you?!

But anyway, as I was going through my closet, I found two of my greatest finds!!! My yellow Maggie Double Serge Jacket


and my Herringbone Fiona!

I'm going to try to wear those in the coming days because they are just sooo cute!
I love them so much but for some reason I never really wore them. They've been sitting all sad and lonely in my coat closet so they're just screaming for attention! :)

Do you have any items that are just dying for you to wear them?!

Oh! And My JASPE is arriving tomorrow!!! All I can say is that IT BETTER BE THE JASPE I ORDERED IN THE CORRECT SIZE TOO!!!!! OR ASHLEY WILL NOT BE HAPPY!
