Sephora, TJMaxx, Old Navy and Target purchases!

I have started Christmas shopping already, and have picked up some things for myself of course :) Here are my recent purchases. 

Sephora- I ordered some Christmas gifts, renewed my VIB status for 2014, and claimed my VIB birthday gift :) where is what I got for myself. 

The Urban Naked Beauty Balm is amazing. It's so lightweight and not greasy. Coverage is great as well. I received a sample and loved it. 

I needed more of my Clinique Dramtically Different lotion. I have used this for many years. 

I love this glittery cosmetic case! It's multi color sparkle. I have so many cosmetic bags but I love this. It's perfect for my trips coming up. 

Of course, love Sephora samples!

Target - I love this cobalt blue tee! It's so soft and will be great alone or as a layer. 

After eyeing this shirt so long I finally caved in. I can't wait to wear it!

TJ Maxx -I found some great Christmas gifts and picked these out for myself. 

I realize I have so many stripes but I love this. The material is so soft!

Again..stripes. What can I say? :) I sized up for a more relaxed fit. 

Old Navy - I saw this scarf and I was instantly in love with it. I am debating getting the orange combo as well. 

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Pinterest Inspired

I found this outfit on Pinterest and I love it. However I cannot wear chambray or any kind of jean like material unless it's Friday. 

I took the leopard idea and put it into the shoes and wore a navy gingham instead. 

Much better for my workplace dress code. 

I love Pinterest! Happy Tuesday :)

Fall Shopping List

Even though I live in Florida now and it's not as "fall" here as back home in North Carolina, I am definitely craving some new fall clothes!

Red cardigan-I would love a red cardigan to wear with skinny jeans and leopard print. 

Cobalt flats-I would love to get a pair! It's so versatile. 

Wine skinny pants-I want a pair to wear with a top I have similar to this. I love this color and can work as a neutral. 

Multi strand pearl necklace-I've been on the hunt for a while but I haven't found the "perfect" one. I want to definitely make it a fall shopping goal to find one!

I have such exciting news! My granite and kitchen cabinets are done and appliances go in tonight. I cannot wait to share photos with you soon!

Hope everyone has a great day! :)

Piperlime/Old Navy haul

Two shopping posts in a week?! Man these sales have sucked me in. 

Old Navy is doing 20% off (30% for cardholders) but it ends today! I am happy with what I got.

I used to hate old navy. Like. Loathed old navy. But I must say in the past year they have come out with some really cute and adorable clothing and accessories!

I love this top. I got it for less then $6 after all sales, etc. Its very comfy and I love the print. It is perfect for work. 

I love this dress. I decided to pull the trigger and I'm so glad I did. I love the color. It's perfect for work or even an easy weekend piece. 

I also got this shirt. I love the print and I can't wait to wear it with a pencil skirt! The quality is very high and it fits great!

For reference I ordered an XS in all pieces and very happy. 

I had also been eyeing this Hive and honey necklace from piperlime. I bought it to get free shipping (yes yes) as old navy/gap/athelta/piperlime orders ship free with piperlime but I really wanted it and it went on clearance. It's heavy but I really like it and I don't have anything like it. 

I am so happy with my new stuff :)

I am so ready for my kitchen to get done (being worked as I type!) and I can't wait to follow up :)

Hope everyone has a great day!

What I Wore Wednesday-old and new

I love mixing old pieces with new and giving older pieces a new look. Today I wore my old banana republic outlet skirt with my new Clare cardigan and my new necklace (hard to tell in photo) from jcrew factory. Tank is also old from jcrew factory and the heels are old from Macy's. 

I haven't worn that skirt in a while and it was nice to wear it again. 

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

JCrew Factory Haul

Once again, jcrew factory has sucked me in to their sales. I was eyeing all of these pieces for a while so when a good sale came around I pulled the trigger (plus 3% back on ebates!)

I love this necklace! There's some sparkle that's hard to see. I love the grey and mint combo!

I love these v neck tees. They are my favorite. The colors are so pretty and they are so soft. I have so many colors now. 

I also bought a navy Claire cardigan to replace my Jackie that finally had its day. 

The Shopaholic Equestrian does it again. 

What I wore Wednesday pink edition!

For Breast Cancer awareness month this Wednesday became pink Wednesday. I wore my bubble necklace again with a jcrew factory top and my jcrew no 2 pencil skirt. I needed 'easy' as this is my first day back to work after my trip. 

Hope everyone has a great day!

What I Wore Wednesday! Bubble necklace

I love my turquoise bubble necklace. I loved my green one too until it broke. The other day I decided to order a pink one, via eBay. 

I didn't realize it was the mini bubbles, and before I didn't like the idea of mini. But now I have one I really like it!

My work has some clients on house (very rare occasion) today so I decided to keep it neutral and add my bubbles. 

On a side note, today is my last day of work until next Wednesday! Making the trip over the big pond tomorrow. Ready to do a follow up post on that and our new kitchen!

Hope everyone has a great day :)

What I Wore Wednesday-travel edition and recent purchases

On Friday I was traveling from a warm to a cooler climate and I had a layover so me comfort and layers were key. I also had a black cardigan I threw on when I got chilly on the plane. The sandals were great for going through security-easy to take on and off. 

 

Tee, earrings and sandals are target, black cardi was the black Jackie cardigan from jcrew. Scarf is old navy, jeans are American eagle. 

For purchases, I got this top at Maurice's back home. Whenever I'm home I stop In to see as we don't have one here. I love the color and sequins!

I also got the mini tote from the Phillip Lim for Target collection. I want the large tote now! I love it. 

Hope everyone has a great day. Our kitchen Reno is coming along and I can't wait to post about it :) I'm also ready to have a kitchen again ;)

What I Wore-Pinterest Inspired

Hope everyone is having a great week! I'm getting ready for my trip tomorrow :) very excited. 

I saw this pin on Pinterest and I loved her outfit. Especially the lace top. Then I realized I had similar pieces and this is what I wore. I may or may not have added a white lace tee to my list ;)

Here are some of my other outfits from the last week. 

Polka dot top is jcrew factory (it was ok backorder for 2 months!), necklace is bauble bar. Pants are lc for kohls, flats are Target (Ona flat)

Top is from the limited, pants are express (editor), shoes are kohls. Top is recent and was pictured in my 'the limited purchases' post. 

Very ready for Friday!

My The Limited Purchases

So I normally don't shop at The Limited. I think I have one formal dress and a skirt to be exact. We don't have one near us (closest is an hour away) but I got an email about a sale so I checked it out. 

I wanted a colored peplum top so I knew this was mine when I saw it. 

I also saw this crisscross back top. I love the colors and unique print. 

I got both in an XS and I would say they run to true size or maybe even a little big.

I was very happy with my purchases! Shipping was slow (about 8 days) but I love the quality and fit of what I got. And for $15 each I really can't complain :)

Hope everyone has a good Thursday! Yay for Friday eve :) 

Simple Change

So during our bedroom makeover I wanted to get white frames for some wedding pictures. White frames are hard to come by! Finally I found them at Michaels and used one of their 40% coupons and ordered prints from Shutterfly. I hung them by our closet door. It looks so much better then a bare wall. Simple changes can make a difference for sure. 

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

Habitat Restore Find

So today I went to donate an old ceiling fan we had and decided to walk around the Habitat for Humanity restore. I had been in a few times but wanted to look. I realized that we haven't bought our kitchen faucet yet for our Reno (starting September 9th by the way!) and thought to take a look. 

I didn't find any JUST faucets. They were all attached to sinks. I did find this beauty though:

It's a Moen faucet with the sprayer feature for $50! They wouldn't sell me just the faucet. I can't use the sink as its not under mount and we bought a sink through the kitchen designer anyway. 

So the nice man took the faucet off the sink and sadly, he had to break the sink to get it, so it went in the trash. But I got my pretty new Moen faucet. 

Hey $50 for a Moen faucet? I will take it!

And the money went to my favorite charity. Win win.  

Hey-kitchen renos are expensive. Anyway I can save money I will try. 

Love the Habitat restore!

We also paid for our stainless steel appliances today. I am so ready for this renovation to begin. 

Here's our stove that's all I remembered to take. But we got the gallery dishwasher (I love when the controls are on the inside), microwave and dishwasher. We already have the fridge. 

Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

What I Wore Wednesday-printed pants edition

Hope everyone is having a great week!

I decided to wear my new target printed pants today with a jcrew factory tee, target necklace and LC for Kohls sandals. 

A bit out of my comfort zone but I like them :)

Speaking of new stuff, this jcrew factory necklace was backordered for 2 months. It arrived yesterday and I love it. 

Hope everyone is having a great week so far. 

Target Haul

Oh Target how I love thee. 

I bought this dress and I love it. I didn't need another striped dress. But what can I say. I'm a sucker for stripes. I like it with the belt better :) this does have an exposed zipper which normally I hate but I don't mind it here. I also got this scarf and these heels on clearance for $8!

Hope everyone has a Good Friday. TGIF!

What I Wore Wednesday and Jcrew Factory Purchases!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far. Here are some of my outfits from the past week. 

This outfit below was inspired by a Pink Peonies Pinterest find. I realize I had similar pieces in my closet. 

Pinterest inspiration. 

I also took advantage of 5% ebates cash back and 40% off jcrew factory and got these 2 skirts. I love them! I already have a pink no2 skirt (much lighter) but I love the super hot pink color. 

Oh Jcrew Factory. How you suck me in. 

Weekend Purchases

I did some shopping for myself this weekend. 

I went to Target (for some random necessities) and found this pretty gold necklace. I had been looking for one like this for a while now. 

I also bought some Sephora for OPI nail polishes. They are all on clearance as they are no longer going to carry this line. This makes me so sad as they are my favorite nail polishes. 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
