{OOTD} Recent Purchases!

One of the things I love most about blogging, is the catalog of "wishes" and "wants" that is ultimately created.  These things are derived from hours of pouring over all of your lovely blogs--I read your reviews, sales notices, tips, advice, etc.  And given that there is a not a mall around the corner, I really value everything you have to say as it has helped me make my purchasing decisions more often than not!  So this post is really a thank you to all of you and for the community of {shopping} support that you have surrounded me with!


First, I HAD to show off my new Tory Burch Steffi tote, last posted here!  I wanted to give it a couple weeks to really get a feel for the bag and qualify a sound review.  I really do LOVE this bag as much as I expected.  The size is right...and it's not too heavy, like you might expect with a bag of this size.  The leather is dreamy!  Very soft and it already has a broken in feel to it.  I love the gold accents and that it has some compartments for storing all my "purse" things.  Overall it was a great buy...OH and because I saw that it had gone on sale cheaper elsewhere (though it was sold out everywhere), Tory Burch gave me an additional 25% off!  SCORE!  So good piece of advice ladies...even if it's sold out on a site, it's worth asking for the price adjustment...you never know what they'll offer up!


This past weekend I was in Sacramento for the night (the location of our closest Nordstrom!) and I walked away with these "Always Skinny" jeans from Gap.  I first saw them on Veronika's Blog here and thought they would be a great addition to my closet.  I have some thinner "jegging" type jeans but these are great as they are more of a true jean material and can be dressed up or down!

ALSO, you might notice that I used my Christmas/Birthday gift certificates on buying the Eddie Flat, last posted here and truly inspired by Erinn's post here.  I must say, I would never have thought that I would spend $178 on flats, but these are SO comfortable and classic.  I just love them so much!  For a similar look, check out these City Flats by Gap.  They don't have the tan patent online, but I saw them in the store.

I guess the saying "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" must be true!  Thank you for the inspiration!

Other items:
Tunic-H&M (from a couple seasons ago)


And last but not least, I had to post about these darling earrings I received as a gift.  You may remember them from this post here.  I love these earrings!  They're so different and yet so classic.  Love.

Sorry for this being a text heavy post, but I so value all the great advice you put out there and I wanted to be sure to return the favor!  Did you have any fun shopping sprees this past weekend?  I'd love to hear!

  10. LOL! The first thing I noticed was the shoes (go figure)!... don't you just love them?! And that bag, whoa... If I didn't win an Elliot Lucca bag from The Look 4 Less that was similar, that'd totally be going on a wishlist... so pretty!

  12. LOVE your bag! Big bags are the best! I have the Always Skinny jeans from GAP too and they are honestly my favs ... the $25 sale tag that I saw on them sold me at the time but now they are my go-to's even more than some of my expensive designer ones!
