Lookbook: Bonjour

What I’m Wearing
ASOS Bonjour Sweater (now on sale) – I’m not one to wear words on my clothes usually but couldn’t resist this simple but cute sweater.
OASAP Sequin Collar Blouse – Thought it needed a bit of sparkle so added the blouse underneath but it created weird bunching all over. I love this sequin collar that you can just add to any shirt to get the same effect with no bunching! Actually any of these styles are so cute, I’m going to go to Nordstrom to check them out in person, I’ll let you know what I get!
Madewell Jeans – Check out their sale section, it’s an additional 30% off! I love their silk boyshirts and always stock up when they go on sale. And this super cute cardigan with heart elbow patches that I’ve been wanting since I first saw it (glad I waited for it to go on sale!)
Vintage Chanel bag – have you checked out Belle & Clive? It’s a new sample sale site that has mostly just high end designer stuff. They always have Proenza Schouler, Mulberry, Valentino, Prada, etc… sales and I’m always ready to pull the trigger on everything. The prices aren’t cheap but they are reasonable and a great way to get a designer bag for a discount. Anyway, they have vintage Chanel bags this week and they have my bag. Here’s my invite if you need it, they give you $10 to spend once you sign up!
Black and Gold Love Bracelet
Black and Gold Chain Bracelet
Gold Love Bracelet
Prada Booties – I like these that are more of a “shootie” since they are lower and don’t cut me off too high at the ankles which can make my legs look even shorter. These booties from are similar.

Yikes, it’s almost New Year’s Eve and my plans are still not finalized! I do this every year and we procrastinate on what we are going to do. But you know us girls, if I don’t finalize my plans, I can not finalize my outfit, so I need to make some decisions like now! Such problems right? LOL. Have a good weekend!

Designer shoe sale haul

It’s my bi-annual designer shoe sale haul 🙂 I tend to save up all my money and buy most of my shoes only twice a year during the sales. I always end up buying a ton of shoes because I can never resist a good sale especially on shoes! Well, this year I actually found a pretty bag that was on sale too so I definitely can not keep all of these but thought I’d show you what I ended up getting and maybe you can let me know which ones I should return? I really do need your help as I love them all!

I completely forgot to take “real” (not iPhone) pics of these Fendi pumps but I instagrammed them last week. They are so cute and I’ve been eyeing them forever, couldn’t believe the black ones went on sale! I can’t find them on sale anymore, seems like they are back to being full price.

These Miu Miu flats I’m definitely keeping (seeing as how I’ve worn them already as you might’ve seen on my instagram). Aren’t they so pretty? I love how they sparkle! Bluefly currently has them on sale.

Miu Miu Jewel Flats

I got these from Net-a-Porter and I didn’t see them anywhere else on sale. I’ve been wanting a pair of Maniac pumps for awhile so was very glad to see these go on sale. Definitely not a color for the faint of heart but I love bold color shoes so I think I’ll get lots of wear from them. They are sold out of my color but they still have a few on sale in pink (60% off now), pink suede and nude suede.

Brian Atwood Maniac Pumps

These YSL booties were a lucky score as my SA at Nordstrom told me I got the only pair in store and they were my size! I’m a fan of the tributes as I already have the pumps and mary janes and find them all to be very comfortable. I love the cap toe on these! SSENSE has the all leather version as well as the cap toe tributes on sale

YSL Tribtoo Bootie

I love the color of these Jimmy Choo pumps but out of my haul these are probably my least exciting pair. I do like to have classic pumps in different colors and textures which was what attracted me to these but I’m a bit undecided if they are worth keeping over my other shoes. The good news for those of you that are interested in them, they are now 60% off at Nordstrom! I got them for 40% off so waiting it out is always worth it but I’m too afraid of missing out on my size so I just snag them when I can.

Jimmy Choo Cosmic Platform Pump

Lastly are the most gorgeous Prada boots. I have a hard time finding boots and these may just be perfection in a boot. HOWEVER they are suede and Seattle is so rainy and gross that I hesitate to spend this much money on boots that I can’t wear very often. I do wish they were leather but I was lucky at least finding these in my size. They are OTK boots however, they look great scrunched down too so I like that they can double as knee high boots too. These are the same ones but in leather.

Prada Over The Knee Boots

A lot of places are already marking down their designer merchandise to 60% off. Sizes are slim but you never know, you might get lucky! Make sure to check out Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter and Barney’s!

Lookbook: Leather Mini

What I’m Wearing
Chichwish Blouse (c/o) – sold out, similar with a pearl collar.
Choies Skirt (c/o) – sold out, very cute peplum version or pleated skirt. See below for discount
DKNY tights – DKNY is my favorite brand for tights, they are comfy and don’t squeeze you uncomfortably in the waist. Nordstrom usually has a 25% off sale for DKNY tights so I always wait for that sale and stock up. I love love these lace tights.
Prada Booties – Black tights + black booties is always a winning combo! 🙂 These Rachel Zoe booties are fab! DIE for these Giuseppe Zanotti Booties.
ASOS Clutch – sold out. ASOS makes lots of cute clutches, I have a few. Quality is okay but price is usually just right and I can usually get them with an extra discount. Love this Bow Clutch and Horse Clutch.
t+j Designs Chain Bracelet + Bow Bracelet (new!) – Our Thanksgiving week sale has started! Take 35% off your entire order with code TDAY35.
Double Chain Necklace – I’ve been wearing this piece non stop. It just goes with everything! For those of you worried with the two chains it might be heavy, it’s actually quite lightweight and doesn’t hurt my neck even if I wear it all day long.

Oh it’s Monday again. At least it’s Thanksgiving week so that means yummy food and awesome sales! This year will just be me and my husband for Thanksgiving but I’m not complaining. I love spending time with my family and his family but to have a little Thanksgiving feast just the two of us means getting to spend time together, less food to cook and less clean up 😉

Lookbook: Tweed and Teal

What I’m Wearing
Zara Tweed Jacket – Tweed can be expensive but Zara has some great options. I got this in the summer so it’s now sold out but I’m eyeing this tweed top! This tweed jacket is gorgeous and on sale for under $90. Also in love with this tweed and leather jacket for a pretty reasonable price.
Romwe Top – sold out. Cute pink blouse with cut outs.
Shop Sosie Letta Skirt (c/o) – I’m kind of obsessed with this color. A few other options, adorable peplum skirt in the same color (under $20) and J Crew has a very similar shade in a pencil skirt.
Miu Miu Bow Bag – Love Miu Miu bags, I’ve got my eye on this jeweled crossbody bag next!
Prada wedges – Similar here, or very similar Miu Miu wedges, or Jimmy Choo wedges.
t+j Designs Luxe Chain Link Drop Crystal Necklace, Gold Textured Chain Link Bracelet, 18K Gold Plated Pave Link Bracelet

I took this awhile ago, before my Mexico vacation so I promise I’m not alternating between being tan and pale. haha! I was just really pale before I left for Mexico. After looking at the pics that I’ve been taking lately, I’m glad I finally got some color to my skin. I needed it! I feel a bit Easter-y in this outfit but I just really love this skirt that Shop Sosie sent me and wanted to pair it with something equally cheerful.

I’ve always been more of a pink and purple girl but lately have been gravitating towards these pretty greens and blues. I wore my J Crew Jules dress for my mom’s birthday dinner and just loved the color. It’s now on sale for 50% off.

As seen on my instagram. With my sister and my nephew who is the cutest ever in his little hat!

Sale Shopping

Just a quick shopping post. I had to return a few things and stumbled upon the additional 25% off sale at J Crew! I know they had 25% off online last week so it looks like it’s the stores turn this week.

I found a few things that aren’t on sale online but a great price in stores.

The Jules dress (in retro jade) was $119 + 25% off in stores. Also, my picture makes it look super blue but it’s more of a teal like on the J Crew site. I’m wearing the 00 and the fit is great in the shoulders, sleeve length and overall length. (For reference I’m 5’2″ and usually wear a 0/XS) I love shift dresses and haven’t found a long sleeve one that fit right so am really loving this one. I’m sure I’ll be wearing it a lot in the fall.

The Matchstick Cord (in sweet lemon) was also on sale for $54.99 + 25% off.
The only color I saw on sale was this yellow but it’s not on sale
online. I’m wearing my regular size and fit is great. These cords are
actually really soft and comfy. You know how some cords can be a bit
stiff and tight? These ones are more of a relaxed fit which I really
liked.

I’m loving this retro jade color that they have in several pieces. I actually already have the blythe blouse in this color but saw that it was on sale for $59.99 and the extra 25% off makes it a really good deal! I love the cafe capri pants and have several different colors. They were also on sale in store but they didn’t have my size, but they are on sale online.

Blythe Blouse | Cafe Capri

Speaking of pants, can we talk about the Pixie Pant? For some reason, I hear a lot about the Minnie Pant and the Cafe Capri but the Pixie Pant seems to get no hype, however, I was looking for a nice pair of skinny black pants and ordered these in my last order. They are awesome! I would describe them as leggings x 10 in awesomeness. 🙂 The material is nice and thick and they suck you in at all the right places. It also has a zipper so unlike most leggings that are always falling down, these ones actually stay up and in place! They really are a mix of a pant and a legging. I think they will make great travel pants. Sizing wise – I stayed with my regular J Crew pant sizing and got the “short” inseam which is still a little long but not too bad.

At Nordstrom, I saw that the floral blazer I wore on Monday’s Lookbook is now on sale for 50% off.

Lush Blazer (comes in 3 other floral prints and a polka dot print too)

If you follow me on instagram you may have seen that I went to look at the Prada Saffiano totes again. They put out a few new colors and I love this gorgeous burgundy (the official name is Bordeaux)

On another note: I’m giving away a pair of Seychelles shoes from PB&J Boutique, make sure to enter if you haven’t yet.

And we’ve got a great giveaway for my jewelry line! Just like our facebook page and let us know your favorite piece from our line and you’ll be entered to win a $200 shopping spree! Go to our facebook page to enter.

Shopping with me: Nordstrom & J Crew

18 Comments on Shopping with me: Nordstrom & J Crew

Had some time to go shopping last week so wanted to share some of my dressing room pics and finds.

I stopped by the Prada boutique at Nordstrom and loved seeing the new colors/styles for fall. You may have already seen this pic on instagram but this is a much better view of the bags.

I’ve been debating about the Saffiano Lux Tote for awhile now and even
though I ended up getting the YSL Chyc, I always come back to look at
this bag. I don’t have any navy bags but I think I may have changed my
mind from a beige Prada to either this navy blue or even the purple. I’ve been looking at blue bags lately (have my eye on this new Proenza) and spotted the Balenciaga Hip in this pretty blue.

I have been on the hunt for a faux leather skirt and spotted this one online so I went to Nordstrom to try it on. It’s really cute on although the faux leather is very “faux” but considering the price point, I’m okay with that. While I was there, I spotted this blazer and cute button down that I had to try on. The button down has faux leather lapel and cuffs which is really cute! The jacket comes in quite a few colors and prints. I love the cuffed sleeves as that’s how I always wear my blazers. It’s unlined but other than that the material is a nice silky feeling and it fits nicely in the shoulders.

Lush Print Blazer (wearing XS) | Faux Leather Skirt (wearing size Small)

Faux Leather Trim Shirt (size XS on the left and size Small on the right)

if you are wondering this was a different day than the rest of the pics. The purple pants I’m wearing are Madewell Colorpop jeans

J Crew had a few cute things on sale and as you can see, I was apparently only attracted to the striped items!

Multistripe long-sleeve boatneck tee – (wearing XS) This top was super soft. I almost would wear this to bed! The burgundy stripes are perfect for fall and the price ($34.99) for J Crew was pretty good. I would’ve preferred the smaller size since it kind of pooled around my waist and didn’t make it very attractive but it wasn’t available in store.
Rugby-stripe boatneck top – (wearing XXS) This top is less stretchy than the top on the left so it was a bit tighter around the bust for me. I have to be careful when I buy J Crew tops because their non stretchy tops are always quite small in the bust and I’m bigger in that department so often times I get the pulling in the chest that’s quite unattractive. The rest of the fit though, was great and love the color combo.

Jules dress in stripe silk twill – (wearing size 0) One warning about this dress, the shoulders have absolutely no give so I actually tried on the 00 and got stuck!! It wasn’t that it was too small for me, it fit fine. But you know how you have to lift your arms up to get the dress over your head and so my shoulders would hinder it from going above my head! The top part of the dress is just very constricting. I was in the dressing room thinking that either I was going to have to call the SA over to come help me pull it over my head or just buy it and act like I wanted to wear it out of the store. LOL! Anyway, I did finally get it off so I tried on the 0 because I had to see if it would work better. It was just slightly too wide on me (but would be okay with alterations) but with the trauma of getting stuck in the other one, I left it behind. 🙂
Colorblock Stripe Top – (wearing size 0) I didn’t love the bagginess of the top (wide stripes + bagginess is not good) even on the model you can tell it’s not the greatest fit so I think even if I sized down, I’m not sure I would like it. I can kind of understand why it went on sale so quickly.

So yeah, not the best shopping trip other than the blazer and the faux leather skirt which I love. Hopefully J Crew will have better fits next time!

Lookbook: Popsicle

What I’m Wearing

Popsicle Top c/o Tulle -it’s now on sale!

Madewell Skirt – I’m loving red skirts, I think it will work great into the fall and winter as well. Love this one from Topshop too.

t+j Designs jewelry – wearing a few of our new arrivals!
– Pretty in Purple Collar Necklace: this is such a fun piece and the purple is great for fall. Comes with earrings too.
– 24K Gold Large Chain Bracelet: we have a couple of new chain bracelets. This one is a bit heavier than our Gold Chain Link bracelet that you’ve seen me wear a lot. Both are great, just depends on if you want a heavier chain or more of an everyday layering kind of bracelet.
– 24K Gold Watch Strap Bracelet: I have a lot of favorites of our jewelry but this one really is one of my favorites. I love that it’s not just a typical gold bracelet and love the watch strap look.

Chloe Sunglasses – similar here for under $90.

Prada Wedges – these are one of the shoes I found at the Nordstom Rack Designer Shoe Sale and they are definitely one of my best buys. They are one of my few wedges and they are super comfy. Similar here and here.
Proenza Schouler PS1 Keep All – If you like the color of mine, it’s called Orchid. You can’t get it in the Keep All anymore but they have it in the crossbody bag and the clutch.

Thank you so much for those of you that left me comments, sent me emails and facebook messages about helping out and offering advice about my stomach issues. It’s not something I like to talk about as it’s been pretty rough on me healthwise and that’s never fun to talk about. I really appreciate those of you that have shared your similar experiences and what you’ve done. I wish there was a cure all for everyone but it seems to be a long process for everyone to figure out just exactly what is going on. Anyway, just want to say thanks again, it means a lot.

On another note, quite a few new arrivals for my jewelry line! Lots of adorable bow items (and if you like them, I suggest you get them soon as our bow items seem to always be our best sellers and sell out quickly.) and our Layered Links which are the perfect bracelets to stack with each other or with almost any other bracelets.
