Spring and summer must haves!

So I decided to put together a collage of some spring and summer clothes that I think are MUST haves for these coming seasons!! I'm LOVING florals alot this year. Even though no matter what... florals will always be in for spring.. this year is different for me. haha. I'm obsessed! Feathers too!! :)
Hear is the list I came up with:
-Floral Prints
-Baggy light see through material
-Baggy tanks
-Striped high waisted pencil skirt! (It would look great with a baggy tank over the top..NOT tucked in)
-FEATHERS
-Clogs
-Statement rings
-At least ONE piece of turquoise jewelry
-Pink Lipstick
-Funky pastel nail polish
-A bundle of miss matched bracelets!
-Nude pumps
-Tan colored leather (shoes and belts)
-St least one tan or nude waist belt! (great for belting everything!!)
-A great pair of cut off shorts

-A pair of high wasted shorts (on the baggier side)

Long necklaces

Shop with out spending MONEY!!!

This grunge glam look is so fun!! I picked a glittery silver and gold dress... and threw the grey tank over the top to give it a funky layered look! Im LOVING mixing and match hard and soft peices right now. Leather and lace, or leather and sparkle!! Im going to be big on adding a little bit of glitter to my boho looks this summer! :)

I don't only like Nichole Richie's style, but I get alot of people telling me we dress similar. I love her simple style...that is funkified with the 60's boho look. When I get dressed in the morning that is the look that i usually have in my head! :) Even though the outfits are simple they are still very individual and they don't look over done! If I could raid one persons closet it would be hers! What about you guys?? If you could raid ONE celebs closet who would it be???

Shopping without spending!

Most of you know...I'm almost done with my month free of shopping!! (Feb 12th). But I still cant keep myself off the forever 21 website...and putting things in my cart that I "want" but cant buy! ha ha. Does anyone else do this, or is it just me?? Its like shopping..with out the actual spending! ha ha. These are a few things that are sitting there...haunting me...and TEMPTING me.

As far as not shopping... here is a little update. As you all know...it's difficult! It's weird not being able to just purchase something you want...or should I say purchasing 6 things you want. You all know I have bought a few things here and there..that I NEEDED (I really did.) But its actually nice buying something that you need and being like "wow,I don't feel guilty at all buying this because I actually need it"...and I haven't gone out and purchased 16 other things similar that I just kind of want! Its also nice being able to really decide if I REALLY want something that I wont be able to find just anywhere. Rather than things that I think are cute...that I just kinda want...just to buy something. its really refreshing...and I'm loving it! I think as soon as Feb 12th comes around...I'm not going to go on a full out shopping binge.. but I might purchase a few things. As for saving, it does feel good. and buying things I not only want.. but I NEED feels so much less heavy on my shoulders.

Thanks for reading! xoxoxoxoxo

Shopping oh shopping...

Seriously... this has been the most difficult time to decide not to shop for a month, but I guess its testing me.... and I want to prove to myself I can do it. I just found out my hubby is going to be gone for 4 weeks instead of 3...and I seriously just want to cry!! (it's only the fourth day..and this whole time I thought it was 3 weeks). I'm just upset, and when I get upset and bored I want to do the one thing that makes me happy..and that is shop. I don't know why that is and I don't know why I feel the need to. Its weird. When I lived in Portland, I lived literally 5 minutes from the mall...walking distance. my apartment complex was named after the mall...it was ridiculous. I guess I just got in the habit of shopping when bored. Whenever I had nothing to do, or had a break in my day, I would just walk over to the mall in 5 seconds and shop. Whether it be "window shop"....it would always end up in a purchase. Since I moved to my new city...I think my habit has fallowed. TJ maxx and Ross are super close, and whenever I have nothing to do that's where I go...because thats what I always did before!! I don't think its a compulsive shopping disorder by any means... I just think its a horrible habit that I have developed and it's hard to ignore!! It gets my mind off things...it's a passion so it makes me happy... I can focus my attention on that for a couple hours and I'm happy. That is until I spend $100.00 and realize "shit, there goes a half days work! "

Now that my hubby is gone, I have all this free time. I haven't shopped for ANY UNNECESSARY items....which is great....but I'm so temped its not even funny. Its like I almost pull into the TJmaxx parking lot without even thinking "oh wait...im not supposed to spend any money right now". I'm at this weird point though...where I want to control it... and I want to save money!! Its not that I'm broke by any means...but people do get broke...and buying unnecessary things will get you there.

I think more than anything I'm just frustrated with my hubby being gone...and I want to make myself happy with my favorite thing!! does anyone else ever feel this way??

Whats with me and shoes lately!

So, as some of you may have noticed...I'm a little bit shoe obsessed. I haven't always been like that though. For some reason when I'm putting together an outfit, shoes are the hardest thing for me to choose. I always feel like my shoes don't match my outfit, and I have no clue why. So with that said...I guess I have learned that...the more shoes you have, the more likely you will have shoes to match your outfit! Am I right?!? ha ha.

So...these two pairs of shoes have been HAUNTING me on http://www.forever21.com/ and I have been obsessing over them forever. I know I don't need them. I don't even wear high heels that often. I'm on my feet at work all day..so the last thing I want to do is wear 4 inch heels.... BUT I FREAKING want these shoes. ha ha.

Shoe sales will always make me feel better!

So as some of you know..I told myself I wasn't going to buy anymore clothes or makeup until feb 12th. Well...I have done GREAT! Except for the fact that http://www.gojane.com/ is having a boot sale and my other black boots are completely like falling apart. SO, I totally justified it and bought some, which I think makes sense..especially cause my other ones are shot! RIGHT??? So these are the boots I ordered...and I totally could have bought like 3 other pairs...but I didn't because I told myself NO. So give me some props! ha ha. They were only $21.00...that is so freakin cheap!!! Some were only 18-19.00!! seriously! I know...NOW you can give me some serious props for not buying anymore! ha ha


I also had to buy some eyelashes at the store for a makeup look for a vid....which is also a perfectly good reason. :) Other than that, I have controlled myself, and haven't bought anything!


Any who...let me know how you like those boots. They also came in a deep dark chocolate brown..which were amazing. A dark grey...which were also hot! and a light orange brown. I had a hard time choosing..but again... I needed new back ones.


Hope you guys have a great night...time to hop in the shower!! Gotta work tomorrow!
