Feeling Juicy

       Over the last few years, I've gone from admiring Juicy Couture to actually buying their products...mostly second hand. They were a brand that was on my wishlist long before my blog began. I've decided to devote tonight's blog to my recent Juicy purchases and gifts. I'll start with the purse that Ken's mom bought me for Christmas. It's a large velour maroon bag. The inside has a back zipper pocket and a shoulder strap that you can use instead of the handles (which are long enough to go over my shoulder). It has embroidery and little gems on the front with Juicy Couture and their crown logo. I was so excited when I opened it that I hugged it. :)

     
       Also for my birthday, my Aunt Teri bought me a Juicy bracelet. I've worn the bracelet almost every day since. It's gold and has Juicy in the center with little crystals in the "J". The clasp even has a tiny heart that says Juicy on a silver banner. Here's a pic:

       While Ken and I were in Boston about a month later, checking out the Newbury St. locations on Second Time Around, he spotted the matching necklace. With how much I love the bracelet, it only made sense to buy the necklace too...especially at $35. Here is a pic:

         At the Providence location of Second Time Around last weekend, I found another Juicy necklace. This one is a little less simple and very cute! They were having a St. Patrick's Day sale so I only ended up paying $20 for it. Here's a pic:

        I saved the best for last deal wise. This purse I picked up my Birthday weekend while Ken and I were up in NH. I found it at a consignment shop marked down to $30 and I knew I had to have it. When I got the register it rang up for $15 and change! It's teal with a brown/tan bow and a "J" on the front. It also has a big bumble bee charm on the front. The inside of this bag has more pockets than my maroon bag but I don't use them all. Here's a pic:

     
           For today's deal of the day, I had to look really hard online to find a good deal on a Juicy item but I found one. On Nordstrom.com, I was able to find an iPhone case for $28. It's a gel case with crown logos all over it and the Juicy Couture initials in the middle. There is also a gemstone charm dangling from the side. It's available in a few different colors but I liked the orange...and pink the best. Here's  a pic:

       I didn't have to look as hard for a wishlist item but it was a little tough to pick just one. I figured since tonight's blog had been shoe free so far, I'd pick a pair of shoes. These are very similar to the two colors that I liked in the phone case-pink and orange and have a 3.5" wedge heel. They also have tassels on the front which I usually don't like but I guess they need to be on the right shoe, or sandal. lol Here's a pic and the link:

     That's all for tonight considering it's almost 2:30AM. I think I should probably get some sleep. Goodnight. :)

Continuation of last weekend....

   Luckily, I saved some of last weekend's deals to share because I didn't get out much this weekend. Between the crappy weather and a headache, I stayed in for the most part. I'll start tonight's blog with showing you what Ken bought me at Newbury Comics last weekend. :) I bought him this same type of wallet for Christmas. It's called a Mighty Wallet and they have a website that explains their story. Their made of Tyvek which is a strong, water resistant paper and it stretches to what you put in it. They have lots of different designs though when I was looking I didn't see this one. Here it is:

       We also went to a new (to us) flea market last weekend in Providence. It was similar to what you'd see at the Raynham Flea market, so mostly new stuff and a lot of junk. There were a few booths with nice things there though and the reason that we went was to look at the new location of the animals from Regal Reptile. That was a waste of time because they just had a few snakes and then some guinea pigs and small pets. They weren't set up with what I expected. I was sad because Regal Reptile had some really cool snakes and they even had some alligators. Anyway, I did find some nice scarves for $5 each. They are a Pashmina blend which is super soft and they are both a leopard print. The first one is a grey on grey print so it is really subtle. I like it a lot but it's hard to get a good pic of. The second is purple and grey. Here are pics of both:

       We stopped in at Tealuxe after the flea market and then headed over to Second Time Around where I tried on a few things. They had a grey pencil skirt that I really liked that was Bebe but it didn't wow me as much as it needed to. I also tried on a pair of dress pants that were only a few dollars that turned out to be super long, like too long even for high heels. Then I tried on a pair of mustard colored corduroys from the Gap. Not only was it love at first sight, they were a perfect fit! They were one of the few things not marked down in the store (they were having a big sale) but at $19 I still couldn't go wrong. Here's a pic:

        Tonight's blast from the past item comes from my other favorite, and more affordable consignment shop, Ragz. I bought this sweatshirt maybe 5 or 6 months ago there for about $15 and it's from Victoria's Secret Pink. It's navy blue velour with fur inside the hood and it's fully lined to make it extra warm.  The zipper pull is a little heart and it has silver embroidery on the back. I took a pic so you could see the hood and the back of the sweatshirt. lol

         For today's deal of the day, I wanted to find a pair of winter boots. That turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. I did find a wintery pair for the deal of the day but not anything that I would be jumping around the snow in. I found these on 15dollarstore.com and they have 3" wedge heel. The height of the boot is about 11" and it has faux fur and a criss-crossed belt detail. You can't beat the price! Here's the link and a pic: http://15dollarstore.com/p/viva-secret-suedette-sasha-wedge-tall-boot-w-faux-fur-black-/3703703137102548

          While hunting for the deal of the day, I found today's wishlist item. These boots are boots that I could jump about in the snow in and are also still really cute. They are made by DC which I love for their sneakers and they have the logo on them. They have a rubber sole and faux fur top. The pic is of the black and silver but they have several color options. This pair is priced at $85. Here is the link and the pic: http://store.dcshoes.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11180357&camp=dcdid&gclid=COWM2_Dr560CFUFN4AodZALp4A

   Well, that's all for tonight. I apologize for any errors in tonight's post. I usually proof read before posting, but I'm going to sleep. Goodnight. :)

Winter Wonderful!

  I went to the Providence Place mall today...so Ken could go the Newbury Comics. After Newbury Comics, I stopped into Charlotte Russe. I hadn't been in there in a while since I've cut back a lot on my shopping and they were their $5-$10-$15 sale like they had last winter. I bought a pair of black tights with little gems on them-footless for $5. Here's a pic:

       

            I also found a really cute hat and mittens set for $5. All of their mittens, gloves, and winter hats were $5. They had some really cute stuff but I didn't really look at anything else after I saw this set. I think I have a bit of an owl obsession. You can't really see them in the picture, but the hat has sequins on it in between the owls. There is a pom pom on the top and on the end of the braids that hang from the ear flaps. Here's a pic and you can also find the set on their website:

    I didn't find any shoes that I had to have....thank goodness! They did have all of their flats on sale for $10 though. I did find a really sparkly belt. I've been on a belt kick lately too. I like to put a wide belt over a sweater-dress or a tunic top, especially if it's a little loose. This glittery leopard print belt was marked down to $4.99, which is about as much as I like to spend on a belt. They have a much better selection of sale belts online than what was in the store. Here's a pic:

        Last but not least, what I'd actually looked for at Forever 21 and struck out, hair accessories. :) Charlotte Russe had a section of headbands, bobby pins, clips, etc on sale for $2.99. I picked out these two 3 packs of bobby pins:

        

        That sums up my Charlotte Russe deal which I think was a really good one. The only reason that I'd tried Forever 21 first for hair accessories is that I've had really good luck there in the past. For example:

       I got these two a while ago and they're both really well made. The comb style clip is one of my favorites and I just got a compliment on the smaller one the last time I wore it. I'm pretty sure I got them for $1.99 each on sale.

      I do have another blast from the past item tonight with this winter weather. I've had to break out the really warm clothes, and even my winter boots. I bought these boots for $15 at a yard sale, and they're Coach with suede and real fur trim. They are super warm, and super comfy. That is why I have been wearing them most nights this past week. My only gripe is that I wish they were black instead of brown because I usually wear a black coat, but I really can't complain. Here's a pic:

      After briefly changing the subject, I'm going to bring it back the Charlotte Russe for the Deal of the Day. They have a ton of stuff on sale right now so I would recommend going into a store or checking out the site, but this is just one item I picked out from the site. This bootie is in one of my favorite colors-cobalt blue. They are a velvet fabric with a belted cuff and almond shaped toe. The heel is 4" with a 3/4" platform in the front. Here is a pic and the link:

       Keeping with the cold weather theme, tonight's wishlist item is a sweater-dress from Victoria's Secret. Even for the sale price of $69.50, this one will stay on the wishlist. It's nice to dream though. It's long sleeved, and long in general with 22" from the waist measurement-vs. most of the sweater-dresses which are 17". It has an all over cable knit and a turtle neck to keep you toasty. :) It comes in four colors but the orange is my favorite. Here's a pic and the link:

     Well, that's all for tonight. I'm going to curl up under my warm blankets and watch some Bones before I fall asleep.
