Recent Snapshots

A few small things going on in my life recently...

Adding to the owl obsession...

Pinterest inspired wall art done with a ton of help from my S-I-L
(ok, ok, she practically made the whole thing!)
The background is cut up book pages.

Loving this little pic I found in a Warhol book:

(Beauty is shoe, shoe beauty)

The print on a new sweater- my two favorite colors!

Another sweater from Urban Outfitters, I absolutely LOVE the cupcake on it, but the fit was off. Going back to the store, but I had to take a pic first

I scored this awesome mug on clearance @ Starbucks for half price.
I LOVE vespas!

I am also IN LOVE with LINK! Any other Zelda gamers out there?

The new edition is pretty cool- I'm working on my own game, by my little bro had it beat in matter of days. That's why I call him The Wizard.
(If you haven't ever seen this movie- DO IT! It's a classic in my family.)

~Skyward Sword~

Chocolate cupcakes with cream filling and chocolate whipped cream topping.
These were amazing!!! (courtesy of my S-I-L, of course. She's the cupcake wizard!!)

Crossbody Bags

I am OBSESSED with any and all cross body bags. I have owned a few messenger bags before,

but I really like the satchel style bags that are everywhere right now.

I found these bags on clearance at the mighty Target for $7 each.

Can you believe it?

They were such a great deal, I took home all three.

The clearance section really can't be beat, because online the same purse was still selling full price for $29.99. That's a difference big enough to justify a jaunt to the store.

P.S. I also have a slight animal obsession! :-)

Love the triple strap!

Hot pink lining.

Foxy!

Basic black with stitching details and neat hardware.
Parking lot pic! Running around town with my new bag.

Statement Necklaces

While I DO think there is something beautiful about a small delicate necklace hanging in the hollow of your collar bone, I have to admit there is something so cool about a huge, brightly colored statement necklace.

I recently added two beauties to my collection- in two of my favorite colors.

First up is this awesome neon yellow piece that looks really cool with even the simplest of tops.

And then I also got this amazing hot pink necklace that is interesting all the way around to the clasp.
Don't make me pick which one I like better.
That's just cruel.

Side note: Check out this awesome dress on my niece's Barbie. Isn't it cool?
My star obsession is no secret and check out the cool drop waist and tulle skirt.
Looking good, B, looking good. (We just need to work on your hair, girl.)

OOTD- Pleated Pink Midi Skirt

This skirt cost me a whopping $12 at H&M.

And it wasn't even on sale- that was the full price.

Love that store!

Is there anything better than huge platform polka dot mary janes?

Happy Monday!

Recent Acquisitions (Budget Friendly)

Some new purchases that are making me smile:

$5 for 3 pairs of cheap and cute dangly earrings from Target.
Good for someone who tends to lose or misplace things (me.)

Basic black flats get jazzed up with some cut outs and bling (from UO on clearance)

Skulls offset the sweet pastels on this scarf (from Kmart and super cheap)

A beautiful bow ring to sit on my finger and make me a living present.
The quality is really good for Target- the rhinestones look great up close and in person ($15)

LOVE my new arrow necklace! I have been wearing this everyday since I got it- OBSESSED!
(Buy here for $12. And another cute arrow necklace in gold.)

Look at this adorable bag my S-I-L made for me! (She is well aware of my love for owls.)
How awesome is this? I especially love the button eyes...so cute!

And last but not least...
a yummy choc cupcake with peanut butter frosting.
Very low budget at $2.75.
I am an addict.
I'll admit it.

What's Catching My Eye- Urban Outfitters

I love Urban Outfitters for unique and sometimes out-there finds for your body or your home.

Check out these cool finds currently online:



Terrier lamp- Adorable!
These sleep masks are so darn cute and clever I would not be able to decide on a favorite. They all apply to me (especially when it comes to getting my sleep!!)

Hmm...is there a theme here? How cool are these pillowcases? I can see myself cuddling up with these and hitting the snooze button one too many times!
Owl buddy
This takes the snuggie to a whole new level. So ugly it's cute? Or just ugly?

For the obsessed (like me!)

Love this infinity scarf


High Heel speakers- the shoe lover inside me really wants to take these home!
Love this studded letter tote- it's on sale too!
Have you bought anything from UO lately?

OOTD- Green Jeans

I remember a while back there was quite the controversy on Posessionista about green pants. Love them or hate them? I wasn't quite convinced at first and my gut instinct was NO...but now, I am drinking the Kool Aid. I'm all -aboard the color pants train and loving it!

Plus, how awesome is this cardi? I wish I could tattoo this sweater on me and never take it off.

Did anyone hear about the Albertus Swanepoel for Target collection? It didn't seem very well advertised, but I got this new hat from the line. It seems to be pretty good quality. There were a few hats from the collection that caught my eye. I might check out a different Target this weekend to see if they have any more cute ones in stock.

Stay warm this weekend!

Below: Pumpkins from my brother's house and a pic with 2 of my adorable nieces. Aren't they the cutest?
