First off, I have one pair of shoes to show you that I ordered. I was hoping to have two but I’m returning the snow boots I ordered because I didn’t like how they fit around my ankle even though they were the cutest ones I’d seen online. Poop. I ordered these flats from Modcloth (LURVE this website) and even though I ordered a half size too big, I have insoles from Aldo that make them practically fit me. Aren’t they adorable?!
Some days after dropping my husband off I head to the drive-thru Starbucks which is next to a mall. I get my chai tea latte and leave it in the car to “peep” in a store or two quickly while it cools. Today I went to “peep” in Old Navy to see if they had any of the sweaters with the animals left. Unfortunately they didn’t. So instead of leaving, I did what always makes me feel less guilty – check clearance. Hey, if I’m not supposed to be getting anything else then I can feel less guilty about spending a lot of money ;). I came across the shirts below: two plaid flannel shirts ($11.49 each) and one striped cotton shirt ($8.99) [and they’re giving out Old Navy cash right now to be redeemed between 1/31- 2/6]. When I saw the striped shirt I immediate saw it with some white shorts and the flats above for a very fresh Summer look. I’ll have to post that look when I do where it in the Summer because our Spring can still be very wet. I was also considering getting another pair of the rockstar jeans in corduroy but they didn’t have my size in the color I wanted :(.
I was recently telling someone how much I dislike turtlenecks. If it doesn’t stick to your neck I’d wear it but the fitted ones I despise. So I had to chuckle when I came across these two ($10.49 each! after an additional 30% off for the closing sale). On Tuesday, I went to a store in another mall to run an errand and I was walking back to the entrance by where I parked and I looked up and saw a store, that I shop in occasionally, was closing that location and had a sale. WHAT!? I had to give it one last look around as I just got my NYE dress from there and everyone loved it. So I tried on at least 8 sweater dresses of which I put all back (womp) and I came out and saw these turtlenecks in 4 different colours. I tried them on and they looked amazing! Very flattering and the neck didn’t bother me at all.
I’d probably be classified as a bargain hunter. I prefer to get more for my money (for clothing) but at the same time I splurge on quality items like shoes and bags. I’ve been building my collection of handbags so I that I can only have bags I know I will use throughout the years and not just for the moment. Once I get my camera sorted out I may do short videos just to show you as it may be better than posting pictures all the time. Anyway, enough rambling.
Thanks for reading!

I’ve been placed on a budget for Christmas gifts. This meant I had to get creative in deciding what to get my girlfriends that was meaningful and not too pricey. So I decided to look around and see what my favorite items were and collect them. I also have to look for items that won’t be too bulky to pack as I’m travelling home with them or shipping them. Because I know some of my friends read this blog I won’t go into details on specific products but just list options that would have them wondering :P. Everything below has a low to high price range so it is always up to you to decide where to get it from while considering the quality of item you are purchasing.
You got the idea right?
I’ve personalized each gift with something that I see as unique to each girlfriend, something that speaks to wherever their interests/lives are right now. For example, one girlfriend is recently engaged, so something bridal may/may not be included in her gift.
When in doubt (or on a serious budget), Rite Aid, Walgreens, Target, CVS and other pharmacy/drugstores can hook you up. But make sure it’s a product you’ve seen good reviews of or that you yourself consider to be a great product. It always helps that the product has special meaning to you. If you have no limit on spending Sephora, Nordstrom, Macy’s and Ulta may give you a headache deciding, but at least you know you will find something there that is also of good quality.
Hope this helps!
