Kate Spade Purchase

Hello fashionistas!

Savannah here. Savannah who has been more than absent on the blogosphere.. House sitting, vacationing, and working has really made this girl busy! I wanted to share an exciting new purchase that I recently made with you all. 

I just bought my first Kate Spade purse. This is the Caden in the color Brightest. I started working at Kate Spade a little over a month ago and I had been eyeing this for all of my shifts. I'm so glad that I bought it! It's a great bag and is perfect for summer. 

I want to piece together a vacation post to share all of my cruise photos with you guys, hopefully I'll get around to it later this week.

I hope you guys are well!

Loads of love!

Life Lately: Work, Friends, and Shopping.

Hello fashionistas!

I have not updated in awhile because life has been crazy busy! My face has finally healed up after my wisdom teeth surgery and I no longer have chubby swollen cheeks. I have recently started a new job working at Kate Spade! I absolutely love it and I really love their bags. I can't wait to buy my first one. 

I'm also nannying part time for a few kids, so my life has been go go go. Anyways, here are a few pictures of what I have been up to for the past couple of days.

My girls and I decided to do a beach day, but we also decided to order a huge pizza to take with us. Nothing like carbs, cheese, and bikinis. 

Here's a little beach selfie. I've spent all my days off last week at the beach. Literally four days in a row soaking up the sun, with SPF of course! 

Victoria and I went shopping the other day and I picked up this little bikini at Marshalls. It's a Vince Camuto and I just love the colors. 

I just bought this top and necklace from Kate Spade. I had my eyes on this necklace all last week when I was working and I had to buy it! 

My best friend, Lily, had her 18th birthday yesterday! Hence the silly party hat! I bought her a Kate Spade bag for her to tote around all her stuff when she leaves for college in the fall. I'm staying here and finishing up my AA at the local state college and then hopefully transferring to the same university. 

Birthday bae! My mom made an Oreo cheesecake for her. The cake was sinfully delicious and had a whole pack of Oreos in it. 

Today is my only day not nannying or working so I'm having another beach day with my boyfriend. Oh yeah, the boyfriend is also another new thing that's taking up my time. Overall, I'm very happy and running on lots of coffee while I be-bop around. 

I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the summer! 

Loads of love!

Saturday Shopping

Hello fashionistas!

This weekend and last weekend I spent some time shopping and wanted to share the new items I procured with you all.

 I was voted Best Dressed for our senior superlatives and I found out that pictures are this week, so I "had" to go shopping.. Or I used it as an excuse to go shopping- same thing right? I ended up buying this dress from Forever 21 to wear for the picture. I like the pattern, structured fit in the top, subtle shimmer within the fabric, and the cut out back. 

I bought this bracelet from Dillards to wear with the dress. I plan on pairing it with black peep toe slingbacks. 

I went to Old Navy last weekend and they were still having their 75% sale and naturally I had to capitalize on that little gem of a deal. I bought this top for $7. Ridiculously cheap and is a top that I can wear now and can pair with shorts for summertime. 

This top is also from Old Navy and I picked it up for $8. I love stripes and sheer tops, so this obviously was a must buy. I also bought a pair of teal corduroy skinny jeans for $8 and a pair of green pointed flats, but I am currently washing the pants and forgot to photograph the shoes! Oops. Gotta love a good sale.

I bought this top from Hollister because I had a giftcard for that store. I love baseball tees and I feel like they will be on trend again for 2014. This is super cute because of the feminine sequin pocket. 

This top is also from Hollister. I liked the lace like texture on the bust region and the color of the top. 

I hope you all have had a great weekend. I spent yesterday morning doing yoga and drinking coffee with my best friend. After that I went shopping with my boyfriend and watched a few movies. Today has been spent bumming around, doing laundry, and grabbing lunch with my best friend. I'm off to go get ready for a bonfire birthday party.

Have you guys done any shopping lately? Loads of love!

Back to School Shopping

Hello fashionistas!

Last week I tweeted that I had a very successful day of shopping and I thought that I would share what I purchased with you all! 

I bought these from Forever 21. The top was on sale for only $12. I love the gem peter pan color! All of my blazers/jackets are way too big, so I bought one to layer over sleeveless tops/dresses. Oh and anything else I want to layer it with (;

I bought this cardigan at the Loft. The Loft is my favorite store ever. I love this coral-pink color and the best part was that it was on major sale for $12. 

These items are from H&M. I couldn't pass up on a cute abstract polka dot dress. The olive green and lace top compimented my skin tone well, so I had to buy it! I picked up another black tee shirt (you can't tell from the picture, but there is a little square pocket on it).

I actually bought this top in hot pink, but the website did not have it! I would have photographed the top, but it is very wrinkly from being in the bag.

I bought these jeans from Old Navy for a mere $19! They are the "Sweetheart" jeans and they are fuller in the thighs and smaller in the waist. They were a perfect fit!

The flats to the left are from Target (clearance section, baby) and the flats on the left are Rock & Republic for Kohl's. These were also on sale. 

I redeemed my fragrance sampler deal for Warm Cotton by Clean. I love this scent; it is super crisp and refreshing. I decided that I should stop borrowing my mom's BareMinerals Faux Tan and buy my own! This bronzer gives the most natural finish I have ever found! I highly recommend it. 

Have you guys bought any new clothes or beauty products lately? 

I am not ready for school to start on Monday. Can it just be summer forever?

Alright, I have to go work on my current mission.. AKA finish my last essay for school.

Haul! Forever 21, the Loft, New York and Company!

Hello fashionistas!

Due to the load of time I have spent at the gym I have dropped a size, so this weekend my mom and I did some shopping. I just wanted to get a few new things to hold me over while I continue to lose more weight (I'm hoping to drop down another 2-3 sizes). 

Anyways, I just wanted to share what I got with you all. I really have not gone clothing shopping in a few months (besides a shirt that I bought at the Loft). 

I wanted a new pair of silver hoops and F21 had a trio of earrings for a mere $2.80. The studs looked like a simple, but interesting pair of earrings, so I also got these. I really liked F21's bold, turquoise bangle for a statement bracelet. The last bracelet is a really cool magnetic bracelet that I found at Loft for a mere $7!

I actually just got a job hostessing at a local sushi restaurant, so I needed to pick up a few black shirts. I thought this shirt would be comfortable and work appropriate, but the gems on the side added a little pop of personality. This was from Forever 21.

This shirt was also a work purchase, I love the pleated detail on the front. This shirt is also from Forever 21.

I wanted to pick up another pair of yoga/workout pants and these pants from F21 were only $11.80. I wanted to pick up two cheap tank-tops while I was at F21.

This blouse is from the Loft. I love the flowy-ness of the shirt and the falling petals. Also the magenta color is so pretty! The Loft had a sale on the sale items making them an additional 50% off, aka a majorly good deal!

This was also from the Loft and also for my new job. The top has a tie on the front, but my picture doesn't really do it justice. 

I bought this top at the Loft because I love love love the bright coral color. The lace-like texture down the middle is so feminine!

This shirt was from the Loft and was incredibly soft. I love the neon pink mixed with the heather grey; I will definitely pair this with a statement necklace. 

New York and Company had sunglasses on sale for a mere $5, so I could not resist the good deal.

Who doesn't love cheap sunnies? I justify this purchase because normally one pair would be like $20.. 

Don't judge me ( ;

Have you guys bought anything new lately? 

Hope you're all have a wonderful week! I'm off to go dance the night away in Zumba.

Some Bits and Bobs! Merry Christmas Eve!

Hello fashionistas!

In my last post I mentioned that I picked up a few things while I was out Christmas shopping, so I decided that I would share them with you all. 

I had downloaded an app on my iPhone called 'Gyft' and it gave me a free $5 Gap gift card, so I obviously had to go into Gap! This shirt was originally twenty something dollars, down to 18, then another 40% off, and then I had my five dollar card. It only cost me $6! I'm not sure if you guys know this, but back in 6th and 7th grade I was a biiiiiiig fan of stars. 

I was perusing Sephora and I found one of their $5 eyeliners in a lovely shade called Iced Brown. It is perfect to put on my lower lashline for a hint of shimmer. The Fresh lip duo was my free birthday present, so I picked that up while I was there. They are nice and hydrating! 

I was in Forever 21 picking up something to go with my sister's present and I found these 2 gems. I love the earrings because they are slightly art deco-ish and they are just nice baubles to accessorize with. 

The purple necklace is very feminine and delicate. I cannot wait to wear it!

Here's my kitten, Java, watching me take pictures. He is very confused as to why I'm taking pictures of my earrings. "Mom, why must we snap pictures of the sparkley baubles? Take kitty pictures of me staring longingly at your new accessories." I also grabbed their $1 headband duo because I broke one of mine and my dog, Colby, snapped the other one. 

I cannot believe that Christmas is tomorrow, insane! I have finished wrapping all of my presents and set them under the tree. My parents still put my sister's presents and my presents under the tree after we have all gone to bed. I remember when my sister and I were little we were terrified of Santa coming and would snuggle up in the same bed. We would also always sneak out and check under the tree at 3:00 AM because there is something so magical about the Christmas tree lights glinting off of the shiny wrapped presents. 

Do you guys have any family traditions? 

Tonight I think my family and I are going to go to the zoo because they have Christmas tree lights. Seriously what is better than zoo animals and twinkling lights? Nothing, that's right. 

Have a Merry Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas Day! 

Loads of love!

A Few New Bits and Bobs.

Hello fashionistas!

I feel like I have been sporadically posting for the past month. My best friend just said to me that she's "been checking the blog twice a day for the past week and has seen no updates from me!"

Yes, you know it is time to post again when your best friend is on your case. (;

I thought I'd share the latest purchases that I've made. Just an few bits and bobs from assorted stores. 

This top is super flowy and soft. I tried it on and immediately had to have it! I can't wait to pair it with jeans and teal flats. It's from Belk. 

I normally feel like aviators give me sad, droopy eyes. I also feel like aviators are a cool girl thing and I always have felt that I could not pull them off. I finally found a pair that I can work with. I'm so excited! 

These are also from Belk. 

I recently ran out of my foundation, so I decided to try a new kind. I've liked most of ELF's studio line products, so I decided to give it a shot. I'll let you guys know how it goes! The mattifying powder and blotting sheets are just backups for when I run out of my purse powder and oil sheets. 

This was all from Target. 

I decided to pick up a few Wet n' Wild makeup goodies because who doesn't love a cheap beauty thrill? The lipstick is a bright pink with blue undertones called Don't Blink Pink. The nail polish was bought because I wanted a vampy color for my toes, it is called Lethal Injection. 

Here's the lipstick swatched. It's such a vibrant color. 

I don't know if you guys know this about me, but I really love stationary. I bought the S cards from Target because I needed just a plain stationary set to have on hand. I bought the notebook from Marshalls because I am that person who is constantly making lists and checking them twice. 

I promise promise promise not to abandon you guys again! 

Have you guys made any purchases lately? Any good sales?

Hope you are all doing well, especially those hit by Sandy.

Loads of love.

Weekend Haul - Loft, H&M, Forever 21, Gap, and JCP.

Hello fashionistas!

This weekend I went shopping with a few friends on Saturday. We had loads of fun and bought quite a few adorable things. I love shopping with girlfriends, they are always the most honest with you (right next your mom)! Here are some pictures of what I bought. I actually went back on Sunday with my mom because I did not buy a pair of shoes from H&M, but I decided I still wanted them and went back. I also picked up a few things on the return mall trip.. You all know how it is! 

This first shirt is from H&M. Our H&M just opened and there were people everywhere. I had to wait in line for a dressing room for almost 25 minutes! I decided to buy this shirt because it is incredibly soft and I thought it would be a good basic addition to my wardrobe. 

These are the flats that I had to go back to H&M to buy. I really like them because they're a lovely teal color that will be perfect for a pop of color in fall outfits. Plus they were only $15, steal! 

I bought another shirt from the Gap because one really cannot ever own too many tee shirts. It's a little big, but I like it that way. 

My mom and I stopped in JCP and I fell in love with this slouchy, bright blue sweater. It's a cashmere blend and is incredibly soft. I basically want to snuggle up in it forever.. (; 

I think I'm going to wear this for picture day at school because the blue will make my eyes pop. 

I ran across this gem of a dress at Forever 21. I bought for homecoming (which is sometime next month). Get ready for the ridiculousness of this statement... You've been warned.

I'm actually not going to go to the dance, I'm just going to get ready with some friends, take pictures, do the dressed up dinner thing, and head home. School dances have never been my thing, not really a fan of the 'dancing' that goes on. Anyways, this kelly green dress fit the bill (price wise and style wise) for my 'homecoming.' 

This was the other item that I purchased at Forever 21. I love large statement necklaces and the braided beading is super chic. I couldn't believe that this was under $10. 

My buy is from the Loft. I had originally tried this shirt on and the one below, but opted to only buy the one on the bottom. The entire store was having a 40% off sale, but I thought it was only full priced items only, so I didn't buy the shirt above because it was on sale. I kept thinking about this shirt, so the girls and I walked back to the Loft and I bought it! It ended up also being in the 40% off sale, so it was only $13. I adore the leopard pattern. 

This is the last shirt that I bought from the Loft. I love the subtle ribbing and the peter pan jeweled collar. It's chic and comfortable. I can envision many outfits with this top! 

Have you guys done any shopping lately? 

Loads of love and I promise not to abandon the blog again!
