Hey Guys,
Don't you just love summer time? The fresh cut grass, pretty blooming flowers, warm weather, and of course spring clothing!!
Since I've been limited as to how long I can shop, I have been ordering clothes online. I just love receiving presents to myself in the mail!
**all clothing was bought from March to present**
The first place I went shopping is Express!! I absolutely adore Express. This store is probably my favorite store to shop at now. I think the biggest reason I love shopping here is not only for the cute clothing but they also have amazing deals/coupons! Either something is buy 1 get 1 for 50% off or $50 off $100 or $75 off $150! So, please don't mind all the stuff I bought from here, I just love this store oh so much!
**bought the last 2 items and the coral rhinestone shirt a week ago when they had everything for 40% off!
I also got something from a online store called Shoemint. I heard that Steve Madden was the designer or maker of the shoes and Rachel Bilson was the model/designer for this site too. I think the shoes only costed me $25 because I got them on sale and 20% my first purchase.
The only downfall of the shoe is that I'm not a huge fan of the material and the strap.
Another online shoe store I got a pair of shoes from is ShoeDazzle. This was my first purchase and haven't received them yet but I am so excited to get them! I have been searching for a pair of shoes that look just like the Valentino stud shoes and I have finally found them!! This site was great too because I got 25% off my first purchase and I got free shipping! The only downfall to this site is that I had to wait over 30 minutes on the phone to talk to someone because the site wouldn't take my credit card :( it was very annoying.
I also went to Von Maur a couple weeks ago and bought a pair of Steve Madden sandals. I have a credit card to this store, so I try and buy something whenever my balance goes to $0 because there is no interest. If you are all wondering what Von Maur is equivalent to, I would say Nordstrom's, Lord & Taylor, and Macy's. I think my next purchase will be these amazing Ray Ban sunglasses they have!
I went online and found a site called Tobi and found some super cute stuff on that site. I have noticed that this site always has a sale going on! Who can pass up a good sale!!?? Well, I would say Tobi is equivalent to Forever 21, H&M, or Charlotte Russe but I would say Tobi uses better material! Anyways, I was searching for a really cute maxi skirt I saw on The Bachelor and I found something kinda like it on this site. I actually found the skirt from that show at Express.
**has a long slit on the side, you can't really see it
Now, this one is a little out of my comfort zone but I just love what I got! I went on ebay, yes ebay, and bought some cute vintage high waisted jean shorts!! They are Levi's high waisted jean shorts in a black and medium wash! I also got some really cute cotton leopard shorts from a store on ebay! They are so cute! When I wear them I will have to take a picture of how I style them.
My other big purchase was my new Mac Air laptop. I really needed a new laptop because my old computer was too heavy to lug around at school. Since I am going to grad school in the fall I was really looking for a lightweight computer! Let me say thatI absolutely LOVE my computer, it is so light weight, sleek, and turns on and off really quickly.
The last place I went was to Kohl's. I bought a couple shirts from here because they were not only cute but on sale! So, a little story about shopping here. I saw the cutest peplum shirts in a million colors, so I obviously had to gravitate toward the mint and black. I bought them in small(they looked bigger and I HATE trying on clothes) and went home. A week later I decide to try them on(this is were they story gets sad) they were too small in my chest area. I was so mad because not only did they not fit but when I went to take them back they only had a small selection of colors :( so I was forced to get white and dark turquoise. Moral of the story, try on clothes!!! I also bought their Candies shoes and they are beautiful, comfy, and CHEAP(on sale for $19.99)!!!!! The last couple of things I bought from here were boring "cheer" shorts in black, grey, and pink. I also bought some basic t-shirts in v-neck and crew neck.
**the silver stuff you see is glitter. I Modge podged a shoe shelf with glitter and rhinestones :)
I went to Dick's and bought Nike Pro spandex shorts. I actually am going to return them because they are just too short, they literally cup my butt! I am almost positive they have longer spandex shorts or biker shorts, so that is what I will be getting instead.
As you can see I have really been loving peplums and mint! What is your must have item for spring/summer? Do you like any of the items I got? Have you purchased any similar items?
