Simple as that.
1. Nine West Hollyroot Peep-toe Wedge Ankle Boots (found here). I bought these on a whim at Saks Off 5th as I had a party to go to later that night. I was drawn to them b/c of the zipper detail. Definitely more flattering in person. Just know now...I'm not a heel person. While I think heels are beautiful, I've reached that age where I pick comfort over style. Not sorry.
2. Forever 21 Layered Box Chain Necklace (found here). I haven't purchased F21 jewelry in years but saw this while I was browsing and thought it would be a fun statement piece. Can't go wrong for 11 bucks.
3. Forever 21 Sequin-embellished dress (found here). I saw this in the store, was drawn to it, but was totally put off by the price. $50 for a dress from F21?! Yeah right. But then fate called and sent me a coupon. So here it is...It looks better on and is sparklier in person. Just throwin' that out there.
4. Forever 21 Faux Fur Vest (found here). I've been wanting a faux fur vest for a while then saw this one online. Cheap way to try the trend. Recently wore it with my red buffalo plaid shirt and black jeggings.
5. Two Faced Cat Eyes palette (here), Urban Decay Naked On the Run (here), and Urban Decay Naked Basics (here). I go through phases of buying makeup, and right now I'm apparently updating my eyeshadow palette collection. No complaints with these palettes...good quality. Check the sites for pics of the shadows inside. I'm too lazy to take that many pics, and don't want to bore you if it's not your thing.
6. HRH Collection Monochrome Crystal Bomber (here). HRH is my guilty pleasure. I haven't purchased anything from her site in a while, so I splurged a little. I'm in love with this bomber and was pleasantly surprised by the thickness of it (it's pretty heavy). I wish my camera picked up the crystal detailing better...check the site for better pics. It's so beautiful!
7. HRH bracelets (site link here). Here are a few of the bracelets I recently purchased from HRH along with a picture of me wearing the bomber and a few of the bracelets together (wore with the Nine West wedges mentioned in the beginning). I'm not going to link every one but encourage you to check out the site as Alex (owner) has such a range of beautiful jewelry and clothing.
8. Louis Vuitton Favorite MM (Large) in Damier Ebene handbag (here) and Louis Vuitton Zippy Coin Purse in Damier Ebene (here). So this is what I exchanged for the Alma BB. As I predicted, the Alma BB didn't fit my wallet well, and it was really stiff. I would find myself scratching my hand on the zipper as it didn't open very wide. I chose the Favorite MM as it fits my original wallet well and will look cute on nights out. Even though I would never just use the gold chain on its own, I think it adds a cute detail when using the detachable long shoulder strap. Since it was a bit less expensive, I decided to get the Zippy Coin Purse as well. It's really a small wallet as it has slots for cards.
Goodness gracious. This blog post made me realize I spend way too much &*$%#@^ money.
Happy 2015! Here's to a more conservative budget...
