Weekend Wishlist

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I don't know about you, but I am not looking forward to another Monday. I had a long boring weekend of studying for the LSAT, I am so ready to take this test and get it over with; December cannot come soon enough! It sucks dedicating so much time to a test, but I know it'll pay off in the long run! Here a few things I have had my eye on lately:

1) Steve Madden Troopa Boots: I got these in black last year for Christmas and I absolutely love them! The brown pair however look much more versatile, and could even pass as a short pair of riding boots! 

2) kate spade candle: I've been on this kick lately for decor in my room. I'm definitely a sucker for candles, so when you put that together with kate spade + polka dots, you can bet that I need it. 

3) Old Navy Pixie Pants: I've been on the hunt for a cute pair of polka dot jeans. So naturally when I saw that Old Navy had polka dot Pixie Pants for only $25, I was all over it. I will definitely be picking up a pair soon enough.

4) Rebecca Minkoff M.A.B: This bag has been on my wishlist for far too long now. Every time I plan on snatching it up, I always end up breaking down and buying something else before I can get around to it. It hurts my heart to say this and I can't believe I am, but I think I need to cool it on my purse splurging. Hopefully I'll finally get around to buying it with Christmas money!

5) Acrylic Monogrammed Necklace: I have a confession to make.... I don't own a monogrammed necklace. I was going to buy one with my birthday money last year, but I just couldn't justify $100. I recently saw on Personalized From Me To You that they make acrylic ones for just $30! I don't need an expensive sterling silver one, so this acrylic is perfect for me (and my bank account). 

6) J.Crew Camp Socks: These socks are just too perfect to pair with my L.L Bean Boots, they're cute plus they look super comfy and warm for those cold fall/winter days. For almost $20 for a single pair though, they're definitely going to have a splurge buy!

September Favorites

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great start to the week! I feel like I say this every month, but really, I have no idea where September went. October is one of my favorite months, I absolutely love seeing the leaves change colors and Halloween and scary movie marathons are my favorite. AND, my boyfriend will be on fall break at the end of October and I will be spending a much needed few days with him and I could not be more excited! October should be a fabulous month for me! Below are a few things I was loving this month...

• Patagonia Snap Tool Fleece: I cannot get over how soft & comfortable this fleece is! Everyone raves about these, so I had to see what all of the hype was about. And boy, did it live up to it's expectations. Whenever I wear it, I have a hard time taking it off because of how comfortable it is! They're also super warm! This is definitely going to be not only a fall favorite, but a winter one as well.
  
  
• Rebecca Minkoff Five Zip: It's pretty unheard of for me to use the same purse for a long period of time. I have a serious handbag obsession, so I typically like to switch it up. I've been using this since I bought it back in August and I absolutely love it! I have the regular sized one, not the mini, and it fits way more than you'd expect. And I'm constantly getting compliments on it! It's become one of my favorites.
  
  
• Captain America The Winter Solider: My boyfriend is a HUGE Marvel geek. After months and months of him trying to get me to watch some of the movies, I finally gave into him. To my surprise, the movies are actually really good (I know he's in his glory). Seriously, if any of you have seen the first Captain America, you MUST check out the second one!! I was amazed at how good it was, it was definitely the best movie I've seen this month.
  
  
• Michael Kors Watch: I've had this obsession lately with chain watches and I was on the hunt for the perfect one. If you remember from my Haul post (when I also bought the RM bag), I found this gorgeous rose gold watch from Michael Kors.
  
  
• J.Crew Merino Wool Sweater: J.Crew sweaters are seriously my absolute new favorite. J.Crew has such a consistent fit and they are SO comfy! About a month ago, I found a wool sweater on sale with an extra 40% off, I got it for $20! While I hate that it's dry clean only, it is so comfortable!
  
  
• Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade: Surprisingly enough, my last few visits to Starbucks haven't included a PSL. While it's one of my favorites, summer has been lingering around and a hot coffee just doesn't sound too pleasing just yet. I love Starbucks Black Iced Tea Lemonades, but it was just recently that I finally tried Passion Tea. It's the perfect kick of flavor when you're wanting more than a plain old Black Tea Lemonade!

HUGE Haul!

Hello my loves! I'm back, and back with lots to show you all! Over the past week or so, I've been doing some MAJOR shopping. If you all remember from my tweets and previous posts from last week, I picked up a gorgeous Kate Spade wallet ($100) and Michael Kors leather bracelet ($50) from TJ Maxx!

This past Saturday we went to a local mall and I ended up getting quite a few good deals! So, for the past year I have been dying for Marc Jacobs Dot perfume. It was love at first smell (I'm hilarious, I know). I finally decided to splurge on a small size and I'm so happy I did, I love it! I finally got my first Alex and Ani bangle, and it's safe to say I'm obsessed. I definitely see myself getting quite a few more in the near future! Such cute bangles that don't break your bank account! I've been going back and forth between using a Kate Spade agenda and a Lilly one. After purchasing a Kate agenda, I got cold feet and started regretting switching it up, so of course I cracked under pressure and ended up getting a Lilly one as well {Jellie's Be Jammin' in Large}. I'm a complete case whore when it comes to my phone and iPad, so I picked up new Lilly cases for both! While browsing through Dillards, I found adorable Pom-Pom shorts with an awesome price tag, only $24! I couldn't pass them up. As I was going to check out, I stumbled upon a black Michael Kors bandeau on clearance for only $20!!! I thought that was a great price, plus I've also been looking for a black top I can wear to the lake (anything else gets dirty, yay for clear blue lake water! Lol jokes). Lastly, we stopped into Target and picked up a few DVD's {Full House Season 1, The Hangover Part 3, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones}

Wednesday, we went to a nearby outlet mall that has a Saks Off 5th and Michael Kors. I was on the hunt for a new Rebecca Minkoff bag, and I succeeded! I found a 5-Zip Clutch for $219, and it was an extra 30% off, so I snagged a $295 bag for about $170! Score! My mom wanted to go to Michael Kors for a new purse for herself, I was looking around while she was busy with that and came across a gorgeous Rose Gold Chain watch for $150! Awesome price for an MK watch, so I had to snatch it up! I'm obsessed!

Lastly, on Thursday, my mom and a friend of hers went out to an outlet mall in PA. Naturally, I was super excited for this trip considering they have a J.Crew Factory Store (plus PA has NO tax on clothes!!). A North Face store recently opened there so I went and picked myself up a new book bag for only $65 ($90 originally). Next, I hit up J.Crew (my favorite part!! Yayyyy!). First thing I noticed when I walked in, they had Herringbone Vests!!! I about died! AND I got the last one in my size! I was so excited I found one considering they're backed up until November online. I also picked up two extremely comfy sweaters and a pair of leggings, which all came out to around $170 with my student ID! Not bad considering $110 of that was the vest alone. Next, I picked up a new Polo hat. They were on sale $14, so I couldn't pass that up. Lastly, I picked up a new pair of Nikes for only $35! Such good deals! To end the day, we had lunch at Primanti Brothers. If y'all live anywhere Pittsburgh, you have to check it out!!! Best turkey sandwich I have ever had.
