I told you this would be a new feature on the blog. Sigh.
Here’s what I’ve managed to pick up this week;
BaubleBar Neon Bib Necklace
I’m pretty sure I’m obsessed with their weekly Buried Baubles. For those of you not in the know, they reduce one item on their site to a frugal $10 if you can find it. I’ve been searching and buying for a solid 3 weeks now. ::hangs head in shame::
I had a great time at Fashion Bloggers Night Out hosted by Annie Vazquez (The Fashion Poet) at Neiman Marcus last week. It was my first time attending an event like this and even though it was a bit intimidating (there are so many fashion bloggers in South Florida!), it was great to listen to the panel’s blogging advice and to see some familiar faces. I especially loved the fashion show, where I instantly fell in love with this year’s it color: orange.
I’m now pretty sure I need a pair of bright orange pants (Tobi has some great ones) to pair with some nice breezy blouses for summer! I’m also loving all the patterns, and of course, color everywhere. I hope it stays.
Oh the color! Oh the sassy! I love everything about this fun fringed necklace from Etsy seller, BooandBooFactory! With all these serious pops of color being seen over and over again in fashion, I think this would be a novel way to rock the trend. Pair it with a LBD or with a slouchy neutral top for that extra pow!
Something I don’t share nearly enough on this blog is my level of geek. It’s pretty high. Especially when it comes to my fandoms, one of which is all things Harry Potter. This is why I nearly passed out & died when I stumbled on So Effing Cute‘s Etsy shop while browsing for bachelorette gifts. Debbie’s items stretch from sweaters to panties dedicated to the world of nerd (Potter, LOTR, The Hunger Games & Star Wars just to name a few), but her deathly hallows crop tee really got me good. I had to have it!
I especially loved that I was able to pair the crop with my temporary dark mark tattoo (also from Etsy)! You wish you were as dorky as I am, admit it!
I really don’t want to have to say this, but I do believe it may be a new feature on my blog. I’ve told myself I am on a spending freeze, but then I find myself doing the exact opposite. It’s just so hard to go without being a loyal consumer. Am I right, shopaholics?
I blame last week’s purchases on my lonely heart. You see, my hubs was out of town, so naturally I had to fill that void. With makeup and dresses of course. Makes sense right? I know.
I’ve been lusting after a beautiful shade of hot pink lipstick for a long time now, specifically Make Up For Ever’s #36. However, at $20 a pop, I had to make sure I was ready to commit. So I had postponed the purchase. That is, until I found myself browsing the beauty section at my local Walgreen’s. I saw a similar shade from Revlon and decided to give it a go! Although it wasn’t as pigmented as I would have liked, it was a nice way to slowly transition into the world of colored lips (I never really wear lipstick). I also paired it with Revlon’s Colorburst in Hot Pink to give it a more glossy texture.
I also finally popped my Tobi cherry by ordering a really fun and sexy mini dress. I initially wanted the black & white zig zag pattern, but settled for this blue and coral tone. I’m so glad I did! It’s really fun and comfortable, although it’s a little shorter than I would normally rock a frock. I am not letting this discourage me though, as I plan to wear it to a bachelorette party and that’s what sexy dresses were made for, right? The bad thing is, I am now totally going to go bananas for all things Tobi. Why couldn’t it have been heinous and ill-fitting? That never happens.
