Yay or nay?

I was wandering in Macy's the other day with the boyfriend when this Coach bag caught my eye. I'm not a huge fan of Coach, but the bag looked so gorgeous in person!

I almost bought it on the spot, but
A.) the boyfriend was with me and he would've FREAKED out
B.) I've been doing so good at saving money lately that this would set me back about $458 + tax which would come to a total of about $500.



What do you guys think? Is it worth it?? It looks so much better in person.. Especially under the intentionally well lit display cases... Haha.

Or should I settle for THIS bag? It's $298 and with tax it's $325.. It's cheaper, but not as nice as the other one in my opinion.. And I've never actually seen this one in person.

Bought some summery clothes

I've been doing such a good job at saving money that I decided to let myself buy a few things cuz I haven't bought clothes in a while. I'm surprised that I actually picked out some clothes with color cuz I've been sticking to more black/white/gray/brown neutral colors lately.. But summer is right around the corner!


Crochet Ruffle Knit Top $13.80


Emilia Knit Top $14.80


Liza Ruffle Front Top $17.80

I also bought a really cute dress for about $10, but it isn't on the website yet. The boyfriend signed me up for the gym under his account since I used to bug him about taking me. We just started working out and I'm SO exhausted when we get home from the gym!! It's hard work! But hopefully at least I'll be somewhat more fit little by little. Slow and steady wins the race?

Sweet!

I scored some pretty sweet things at the Marc by Marc Jacobs store about a week ago. I got myself a leather bracelet and I got my friend an evening clutch & a Marc Jacobs condom for her birthday! (The birthday girl is in brown in my previous post) Haha


Only $7!! It means "truth enlightens" in latin
My best friend & I got matching bracelets! Hers says "For you, forever"


The clutch was only $35!


Marc Jacobs condom!!! How freaking hilarious is that?

More polyvore

Polyvore feeds my shopping addiction! I should change my blog into a fashion blog cuz I barely blog about makeup anymore lol. I sport a neutral look pretty much everyday for school and work so there's nothing really special to post about. Anywho, here are some more sets I made. I'm still experimenting on how to format the layout and all that stuff. Polyvore is so much fun and it keeps me entertained for hours lol.

Help me decide...

I can't decide between these two. I like the first one more because it has more straps and is a bit simpler, but it's also 10x more expensive.

OPTION #1

Maud Dylan Sandal
$188

OPTION #2



Adelia Peep Toe Flat
$22.99

Shoes <3

I love these boots from Bakers! I want to order them online since they're having a 25% off deal, but I need to try them on in the store first to see if they fit. I have a fitting problem with knee high boots and sometimes mid-calf boots cuz I'm short and I have thick calves.


I also really like these sandals! But they're $188!! I originally wanted them in brown, but they're all sold out in that color so maybe I'll settle for black. Do you think it's worth $188?

Clothing Haul

Bought some more clothes from F21. I wasn't going to, but they put another leather jacket up on their website and I hesitated too long the first time before it got sold out... Plus, I have a $50 gift card that I can put to use anyway :) Yay!

Silky Origami Dress
$19.80


Cory Plaid Shirt
$15.80


Fab Striped V-Neck Sweater
$10.50


Chevonne Faux Leather Jacket
$39.80

Hopefully the leather on the jacket isn't too tacky... I wish I could've seen this in person before I ordered it, but oh well. I can always get store credit back if I don't like it.

P.S. I'm going to do a post for Amina on an oatmeal and honey mask after the holidays so keep your eyes out for it :)

Outfit

I'm attempting to show off my outfit, but I can't get this full body shot down lol. Bear with me haha. I tried taking photos through my mirror, but that didn't turn out so hot. And I'm too slow for the self-timer! Any suggestions?

Jacket, scarf, and jeans from Forever 21
Sweater from H&M
Boots from Target

My step mom hinted at getting me a Louis Vuitton purse. She had the website open on her computer and told me to go look. She picked out this multi-color monogram that she thought I'd like. (No! lol) So I pointed her in the right direction... Didn't really know if she was asking for my opinion on a bag for HER until she told me to print out the one I liked. Is that supposed to be a hint or am I just wanting it to be one? Lol. I do want a Speedy 30 very badly, but not at the expense of my dad's $$$$$ especially since the economy is in shit right now. *Sigh* We'll see what happens..........

My shoes came!!!!!!

My Paris Hilton heels came!!!!!!! I got free overnight shipping from Endless.com. Awesome right? They're a little loose on me since I ordered a half size bigger cuz that was all they had, but I'm hoping my feet will expand after wearing them so it won't be too bad. It's not even that bad right now actually. I just like my heels and flats to be really tight so they don't slip off.

I'm so excited for the rest of my presents to arrive! I love being spoiled lol.

They're beautiful!!! Rarely do I ever gush over a pair of heels!

I know what I want!!!

The boyfriend wants this $300 pack of Jordans for Christmas and we're going to the mall to pay for the pre-order. (Or I mean, I'm going to pay for them lol).

He's been asking me what I want for Christmas and I finally found some things that I want! I was gonna settle with either a Coach or Juicy Couture purse, but honestly I don't know if I can see myself wearing those brands. It takes me back to say... middle school and little teenage girls. Coach does have some new decent bags though that don't have the signature "C" all over them that are kinda cute. I'm not much of a logo fan unless it's LV cuz their monogram is hawwwt. All the bags I want are $1000+ and I'd feel so damn guilty if the boyfriend ever spent that much money on me.

So I chose some presents that I wanted and we just ordered them. This is so much better than being surprised! Haha

Presents!!
Tongue Tied Handbag
I love the flap over the bag and the handle!!!


Amour de Paris Necklace
Paris necklace. I think I bought the same exact one for one of my ex-friends a year or two ago for her birthday... Can't remember!
