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. :)
