Bright Ice

Yesterday I had work yet again, and I decided to wear my knew J.Crew cardigan! I wore my trouser jeans with a pale yellow top that I got from Old Navy earlier this spring,  and my "Ice" as my necklace has been called, which Anna got from Frock Candy for my Birthday a few years ago. Of course I had my Coach bag with me, I got it when I went to the outlets in May, its the reason I didn't go to Coach on my recent trip to the outlets. My shoes are my black, patent wedges I got from Kohl's over a year ago, and I love, love, love them!

Also, today I found the coolest new site. Its called Picnik and its a photo editing site. I was able to crop and adjust color on my pictures as well as add frames, and its free or you can upgrade to a premium membership and get more cool features... so its something neat for those of us not cool enough to have Photoshop.

lookin classic

So, today was my first day wearing my new J.Crew dress and I loved it! It is so comfortable to wear, I wore it to work so running around for 5 hours and at no point was I uncomfortable. 

I decided to just go with a classic style, so I broke out my pearls and wore my favorite yellow sweater. I wore pink flat sandals that I didn't get into the picture, but just imagine that they were cute!

 I took the first picture and thought it looked cool, but the little sister took the second picture for me! 

Confessions of a Shopaholic....

So, I just came back from my beach trip... and I definitely spent more money on clothes than I did on the condo or food.

I was doing really well, only having bought food and paid for the condo then we went to the  outlets.... oh the outlets! So Tanger outlets in Foley, Alabama are my downfall... even though there is an outlet mall like 20 minutes from my house, I never go. But we had about 2 hours before we had to get on the road and I only needed about 20 minutes to do my damage, and if I had more money I would have done much worse. 

First we went to Nine West, and I got the cutest pair of wedges for $20. Of course yellow is one of my favorite colors, its all bright and happy, and these shoes are really awesome I can't wait to wear them!

Then we went to JCrew which even though they don't carry plus size, their sizes run large, so some of their stuff I can fit into and if you show your student i.d. you get 15% off... So I bought a dress and the cutest cardigan! 

The Cardigan is one of those long cardigans so it fits nicely and then the buttons are crystal... the first picture doesn't really show the color well but the second one does. 

And then we have my mannequin Tallulah modeling my dress... its really comfortable and loose and I like how it has a lower neckline then another dress I have like it. 

So I succesfully spent all of my money in about 20 minutes... isn't that nice. And we continued shopping but I couldn't get anything else as I only had about $5 left on my debit card!

Must Love

I love love love IKEA! 

They have great stuff and even greater prices... After years (more like one) of searching for my yellow desk chair I found it at IKEA! 

 

On my recent trip to Miami I took a side adventure to Sunrise, Fl and behold the glory that is IKEA!

 Not my picture  I didn't have my camera with me.... so no pictures but I will look up some on google to include!

I went with my parents and my Aunt in search of the perfect desk chair... 

At first I was overwhelmed, but quickly got into the hang of it! You start out by going through the show room which was so cute! and you jot down stuff you want to pick up later when you go to the warehouse... 

So I fell in Love with this chair: The SKRUVSTA Swivel Chair $149.00... of course of course I fall in love with something expensive at a store known for being cheap... but its too cute: 

So I kept shopping and of course I found another chair and it came in a much more “college student” friendly price… of  $17.99! Which is completely AWESOME! The SNILLE visitor Chair!

And people are always saying that the downfall to ikea is having to put together your furniture… but really it took me all of maybe 3 minutes to put together my chair!

So after going through the show room, we were hungry… So we stopped at their Café! It was awesome… I had some pretty good chicken nuggets and chocolate cake.

Then you start picking up your items! And it was a mad house… but I got what I needed:

Two lamps:

• The EKARP base $9.99 with a really cute shade that I can't find a picture of now but I promise to take a picture of it later!

• LYKTA table lamp $12.99

Mixing bowls

I love to bake so I bought these mixing bowls for $3.99 and they are awesome!

Bag Clips

These bag clips are great! $2.99

You walk through their… store, I’m not really sure what you call it… but you walk through then you go to the warehouse and you find your aisle and bin and you pick up your larger pieces of furniture!

I recommend going online and picking out what you like first so you have an idea of what you are looking for… like I looked at different lamps I wanted… and I also had an idea which chair I wanted… because Ikea can be a tad bit overwhelming… but overall I love it and think its an amazing store!

Awesome Earrings!

I have a bit of a shopping habit.... I usually buy online, but Saturday my BFF and I went shopping at some boutiques in town... and I picked up a great pair of earrings and major plus they were 30% off so I ended up paying $10.68 total!  I love these they can either be dressed up or down and they are one of my favorite colors sunshiny yellow! 

 p.s.  My camera broke after my first beach trip  this summer... and I have yet to buy a new one... so I am stuck taking sucky pictures with the camera on my apple!
