Fabulous Finds: Forever 21

So I'm still on my budget (even though it's killing me) I am making it work.  :)

The other day I got my J.Crew catalog and spotted the cutest polka dot dress but was super shocked by the $198 price tag....um I don't think so, a la Cher from Clueless, was what first popped into my head.

I decided to do some shopping around and found the most adorable polka dot dress from Forever21 for $22.80.....um yes please!  It is so cute and I can't wait to wear it with some red pumps.






I of course didn't stop there as I wanted to get free shipping, if you spend more than $50 you get free shipping, how amazing is that!  So I headed on over to tops and blouses and found this adorable sailor top that will be perfect for work and play.




I was still just shy of my $50 free shipping so I picked up some adorable earrings at $3.80 a pop!  What a fab deal.





And finally on my way to check out I noticed this adorable sweater but I resisted given I was at my max of $50 but how cute is this?!





I guess I am tooting my own horn (beep, beep) but I am pretty proud of my new budget friendly self for buying 4 items for under $50 when the old me would have spent $198 on one! 

I informed the hubs of my amazing growth and he responded with "Why would you ever spend $200 on a dress with polka dots?" 

Oh well he doesn't get it but at least I won't have to hide this package from him when the UPS man comes :)

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

Old School Calendar

Soo I have a case of the Mondays and by the way it's Tuesday....booo!  I had a super fun weekend at Steeplechase and honestly wish Steeplechase happened about once every month because it was such a good time.  :) When the hubs and I returned on Sunday from Cville we started talking about all the upcoming events/weddings/trips/business trips etc. we had coming up in the next 5 months and it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest!  I know I have all these things coming up but to be honest they are sneaking up on me.  For example I will be in St. Simons for a work conference next week and I completely forgot.  I leave the day after my birthday (is it just me or do birthdays get let special the older you get?)  So I have been scrambling all day to make my travel arrangements and in general get my sh!t together. I realized that I'm probably going to have to buy an old school day planner to keep the hubs and I organized over the next six months.  When I mentioned this
