Thrift Haul!

Hey ladies, so this weekend I went and decided to do a little thrift shopping. Over the years I have perfected the art of thrifting. I mean, I have it down to a science. I know exactly which stores to go to, I'm signed up for the email alerts, and I know what days they get new inventory. Yeah, my friends don't really get me. I have tried to explain the thrill of spending $15.00 on clothes that are worth $100.0+ retail. Even though thrifting is a popular pastime in the blogger world, I have found that many of my friends are still weirded out by thrifting...which is fine with me... more stuff for me!

Today was a particularly great day for thrifting and I found several things that I didn't expect to find, and some materials for my newest DIY project! Two of these items are also from Plato's Closet, which I mentioned before that I  LOVE. 

$2.99 brand new Target brand Jeans.

$5.00 must have chambray piece. 

Headband, $3.00 and Target jacket $5.00

Agaci oversized blouse, $8.00

Jessica Simpson Slim Fit Jeans, $8.00

Target Faux Leather Jacket, $4.99

Target Jacket, $5.99

How do you thrift shop in your town? Do you have any suggestions for getting the best finds?

Rocks Box Unboxing!

Hello loves! So recently a coworker of mine suggested that I try out the new Rocks Box subscription packages, and this weekend I just received my box. 

For those who don't know what Rocks Box is, it is a monthly subscription service, much like Birchbox, but with jewelry! 

You complete your online survey, and within a few days they send you a handpicked selection of high end jewelry for you to wear. You wear the jewelry for as long as you want and then when you are ready to return the items, you simply send them back in the prepaid postage and they send you new items. The cost of the box is $19.00 a month, and you can send the items back and forth as much as you want. If you want to buy the items that you get in the box, you can and at a discount. I will say that some of the items I received are definitely outside of my budget, but I have already found dupes for these items on Etsy, and I can wear the pieces that I have for as long as I want, so it's definitely worth it. 

The box that it comes in is so precious. I love the feeling of untying a bow. Definitely an endorphin release. Am I right? 

Look how cute the packaging is! So cute. 

I'm in love with this bracelet. It fits my personality and style perfectly and I know there are many things that I can style it with. 

This is really adorable and once again fits perfectly with my style. 

I am DYING over these. This picture does not do them justice. They are so perfect. 

Has anyone else out there used this subscription? Thoughts on more subscription boxes for me to try?

MONDAY SHOE UNBOXING- NOWAY FLATS

Hello ladies, today was not only the first day of school, but it was a Monday. Basically the worst, to top it all off I have been sick all weekend and I had an asthma attack. I basically felt like a 500 lb whale trying to walk across campus. So that being said, when these babies arrived earlier then expected today, I just had to share! I've posted about these before and I am just dying over these.

They are SO comfy! I'm usually a size 8.5 (or even bigger depending on the shoe), but I order this in a 8 and they fit like a glove. I actually ordered these off of Ebay (ebay is my jam guys) and I paid about $28.00 and they arrived brand new with all original packing. Normally, they retail at $60.00 or around that, so definitely a steal. 

I love the feeling of opening up a new shoe box. Honestly one of the best feelings in life. 

As you can see they are the black faux snakeskin with black studs. The material of the shoes are really high quality and feels like they will hold up for a long time. 

The shoes are zip-ups, which personally I prefer.

So gorgeous!

Does anyone out there have these? What are your thoughts on Jessica Simpsons other shoes? Personally, I never really cared for her line till I found these.

Back to School HAUL

Hello loves, just wanted to do an update of some of the things I stocked up on this weekend, and some new purchases that I'm going to try out so I can do a review on. Let me know if you have tried any of these beauty products, and if you liked them!

I recently purchased this at my local health food store and I'm really curious how this will treat my skin. It's slogan is "Like a vitamin pill for the skin." Clearly they sold me. The smell is amazing and so far it is not greasy at all. I'll do an update on this in about a month!

{Also no animal testing with this company, thank the lord}

I 've never used either of these items so I'm really curious to see how they hold up. The mascara was from Milan, and since I've never had any of their mascaras before I figured they deserved a try. {the sale price of $4.99 helped too}

The L'Oreal hairspray was also a cheap buy at $3.99, but I have had good luck with L'Oreal in the past, so I'm hoping they don't let me down.

Has anyone out there tried this before? I have really been looking for a long lasting eye liner that will actually stay all day. The last few eyeliners I use have been smearing off leaving me looking like a raccoon. {not the look I'm going for}. I'm hoping this works out, and I'll keep you guys updated!

I bought these two items from Plato's Closet today, and I am really excited. If you have a Plato's Closet in your town, I highly recommend going. The bracelet was $3.00 and the shirt was $5.00. I mean it doesn't get much better then that. 

Oh Forever21. You can be the best and you can be the worst. Either way I never fail to have minor anxiety attacks from your store, and I am always overwhelmed. I went in today and didn't find many items I was impressed with, but I did find these two pieces, which I think I will get good use out of (until they fall apart of course)

I recently saw this on ThatsHeart blog, she said they are super pigmented and long wearing and I'm so excited to try this one out. I'll update on my opinion, but I have high hopes so far!

What are you guys stocking up for this week? With school starting soon it's a good idea to have everything ready to go! Let me know and leave me a comment below :)
