Recent finds from Forever 21

Raise your hand if you are guilty of online "window" shopping!  I know I'm not the only girl online that has a bill over $100 dollars at one of her favorite online retailers.  Half the time, I never end up placing an actual order but it's almost addicting online "window" shopping.  It's sad, but I want to say, I enjoy it.

So here I was, stalking Forever 21 dot com, because the actual store never has what I can find online.  My cart was pretty full, but I decided to reward myself.  This time I had actually placed an order. Hooray! 

I spent 98% of the summer wearing dresses.  Winter makes it too painful to wear dresses, but if I find if I wear heavy tights (Walmart has a good selection of thick ones for cheap) they help me stay toasty.  This dress will look great with a belt and brown boots. 

These tights are amazing.  They will probably last 5 minutes on me before I find a run, but I'm excited nonetheless!

Puffy sleeves seem to be in this season.  <3 Puffy shoulders.

Cozy sweater, a must!  Gray is a neutral so will match everything in my wardrobe.

Did I mention the obsession with the puffy sleeves? I got an extra in baby blue. 

I have been on the search for cute, sparkly flats for an affordable price. I do a lot of walking at work, so I need some thing cute & comfy. These are perfect!

Does anyone else have a slightly unusual addiction to online "window" shopping, or am I the only freak?

Blondie

 

Words can't describe my excitement when I found out Blondie was coming to town.  Blondie aka Deborah Harry is an icon and a legend.  I just had to see them in person!  A few weeks back, I got my chance.  The show was amazing, but what else did I expect?  Blondie + live show = amazing.  Always.  Even though she's old enough to be a grandma, she was still stunning!  I was quite memorized if I do say so.   

The venue was small which I like, but often these little venues have annoying camera policies.  Such was the case for the Blondie show.  I was upset I couldn't bring my actual camera inside but I did manage to get beautiful blurry photos.  Yes, blurry photos.  All thanks to the venue.

 

 Oh well, at least I got to see and hear Blondie.  Twas Epic.

Ding Ding--we have a winner!

Wow, did she really take 9 years to find a winner for this silly little contest she had? 

I don't have an excuse.  I've been a very naughty blogger, but I promise to improve!  Now on to the good stuff.  Winners!  For those of you confused, I had a small contest a few months back.  The theme was '80s inspired.  I had a good time preparing for the contest, but sadly I didn't receive much enthusiasm in return.  I expected to get a few more entries since you know, I'm giving things away for free!  But, maybe free things aren't what peeps are into these days?  Weird.  I'm a free-fiend, so I'm always interested in anything that gives me things without a catch.  

I do want to thank everyone that entered.  I appreciate your time, effort and support.  Thank you lovelies, I wish I could send you all items, but that would make my wallet cry!  

Congrats to the ladies below, I appreciate your creativity, time and support!

C'est terrible! Summer is leaving us!  Yet, I'm still thinking it's only June!  It's a real shame.  Although Summer was horribly hot and humid, it still was enjoyable.  How can you not enjoy summer?  It brings beautiful airy dresses, splashing, fireworks and the beach.  


As a good-bye celebration to Summer.  I had a water balloon fight with a good friend.  It's hilarious that most of the water balloons did not pop when they collided with our bodies.  Instead, they pegged us and bounced off.  It was a wee bit painful.  Who knew, I could make water balloons dangerous?

Good bye, Summer.  Tu me manques.  I miss you!
