Tis the season for shopping for the new pieces for fall & winter.  We are all on a budget though so when is it time to spurge or steal?  Here are some awesome finds that are totally worth stealing and saving your designer funds for something very special.

Anniversary

1 Comment

Monday is my one-year wedding anniversary & I cannot believe how fast it has gone by.  So much has happened in the past year both ups and downs.  We got married, got a puppy, lost a close family member, bought a house, and I just feel so lucky to have such a beautiful person by my side to live my life with.  On our anniversary, we decided to do a local romantic beach-themed getaway, staying by the shore, visiting wine vineyards, and dining at local restaurants.  I cannot wait to eat our cake that I have been eyeing in the freezer everyday! 🙂

Prettly Little Liars Fashion

Pretty Little Liars is my favorite show this summer.  I love following the suspense of who A is and the amazing fashion that the PLL wear is also a guilty pleasure.  If you are a fan of Pretty Little Liars, let me know who is closest to your personal style?  I think my favorite is Aria with her bold accessories and printed skirts.

I was waiting for one of the girls to follow the peplum trend and who better to than Aria. While following the crowd she still manages to add her unique flare by buying it in a wacky print by the ever so flamboyant Betsey Johnson.</p> <p>Betsey Johnson - Tattoo Liberty Peplum Dress - S.S.O.<br />

LOVE Aria’s Betsy Johnson’s peplum dress!

Did anyone watch the Olympic closing ceremony?  It was awesome to see everyone come together and celebrate.  My favorite part was the children’s choir singing “Imagine.”  Congratulations TEAM USA on 104 Olympic medals!  I have chosen some adorable pieces to show your USA pride.

Pump it Up

When you feel like you are wearing the same old colors- black, gray, white- just pump your outfit up with some colored pumps.  They don’t have to be designer to look awesome.  I found a pair of magenta pumps for under $25 at Target.
