Winter Square Sunglasses

/in , /by

I have really been enjoying my weekends lately. I changed my cleaning schedule to break-up my chores throughout the week instead of a whole day of cleaning on Saturday or Sunday. That was starting to drive me nuts and ruin my weekends.

But since I have made that change it has given me more time to find items on the internet. Bad…. very bad. Like these great winter sunglasses from Ann Taylor.

They are a beautiful, classic pair of sunglasses to have during the cold. I still wear sunglasses in the winter. They help with my contacts and helps me to easily ignore men! Ha!
I got them for a great price. I only paid $25 last week! Not too bad for a pair of square sunglasses which are my favorite shape. 
Well, I hope that you enjoyed this find and Happy Monday to everyone!

The Paver Tote

/2 Comments/in , /by

I always try to make sure that I share a great find while it is on sale as soon as I can. This is another one of those great finds. This is called the pochette tote bag from Ann Taylor. It comes in two different colors. This is the paver grey color and I managed to get it for only $45! The original price is $148!

It has all of the features that an executive tote should have. It has the divider with a zipper, the cell phone holder and the inside zipper on the side. It’s also very roomy and beautiful. 

Love the “purse feet” on the bottom. That is always a favorite feature of mine. 
Another great feature that it has is the removable pouch. It has a protection coating on it so you can put your tablet in it if you would like. Great feature!

It also has Ann Taylor on the inside of it. It is a lovely bag and will keep you organized. I also love the pink blush color on the front. A favorite of course. Another great feature is the gold hardware. I love gold hardware with pink blush. I just think it looks so timeless. 
Well I hope that you all enjoy this find and if you can click on the link above and take a look at that price! It’s a steal, honestly it is. Enjoy!

Gray Blue

Hello Monday….. Monday... a sign to start your week again. Any-who, I wanted to share a recent find from H&M.

It’s this lovely tote that they are calling the Weekend Bag but I am using it as a regular purse. 

I’ve been carrying it for about a week and I have received  a lot of compliments on it. Most people love the color. It’s different and very roomy. I purchased the faux fur key-chain from H&M also. It was only $2 and looked good on the bag. 

I just wanted to share this beautiful tote. I hope that you can find it at your local H&M. It’s better to see bags in person if you can. Enjoy your Monday!

Fur Boot Socks

/in , /by

It’s cold, it’s cold! And it’s a horrible feeling when your feet are cold. I was (once again) perusing through the mall and I spotted these beautiful things.

Aren’t they fantastic? The are called faux  fur cut boot socks and they are by Hunter. I just loved them! They looked so warm and chic. 
They also have them in black! Oh I had to have a pair. I quickly asked the sales associate if they sold these separately and she said yes!!! 
So when I got home I tried them on of course. This is what they looked like on. Very comfortable and warm. I then realized that I didn’t want to wear them with my rubber boots but with my fur brown boots. I normally wear those when it begins to snow here and I don’t mind getting them wet or stained. So I begin to wonder if I could fold these down into that pair. 
And I could. I have been wearing these all week and people keeping asking me about my boots. I kind of laugh and say, “No it’s not the boots, it’s the socks”. They are a great investment if you live in cold climates and they look great. 
I hope that you enjoyed this find and are able to go and take a look at these. They are quite nice and stylish. 
Enjoy!!

Pearl Gloves

/in , /by
Are any of you like me? You lose gloves? I know I do but that does not stop me from buying them. Like these pretty pearlized crystal gloves from Ann Taylor. 
I love pearls and these have just enough “sparkle” on them. Now I know that I will have to keep my eye on them. I don’t want to lose these. 
They are very comfortable and are long. I do like the “long” look. I don’t feel like they are too short for my coat. 
They are a pretty gray or what the site is calling “burnt charcoal” color. They are a very neutral color and will probably match with any color coat you may have. I was able to purchase them for about $20 which is great for me. 
I do hope that you enjoyed this find and are able to pop on over to Ann Taylor. Your gloves can be elegant too right?

Christmas Clusters

/in , /by

Happy Friday and look at what I found at New York and Company ….. cluster earrings!

And they are on sale! I got both pair for under $25! They are perfect for those holiday parties. 

These are called goldtone floral cluster earring. They are sooo pretty! Very feminine and flattering. 

These are also clip-on’s; my favorite!
Unfortunately, I could not find these star cluster earrings online. I tried looking for two days now and still could not locate them. I am sorry. 
I did however find a few options, like these sparkling floral cluster earrings. I actually saw these in the store and was torn between these and the ones in the photo above.  Another great option are these silvertone floral earrings. They look quite lovely and the price is fantastic! 
These are actually for pierced ears but I converted them to clip-on earrings as soon as I got home. 
You should take a look around their website. There were lots of beautiful earrings all at 50% off! Enjoy taking a peek and relax knowing that you are getting them pretty cheap!
Have a great weekend!

The Cognac Tote

/in , /by

A great brown, tan or cognac tote is hard to find. I like my totes large and with structure. So when I saw the aventrio tote at Aldo I had a silent scream on the inside.

Now when I saw it in the store it was in black. Cognac was not available. So I had to order it. 

I am glad that I did. It’s a great color!
Love totes with “feet” on the bottom and this one is “tech-friendly”. So it has a charger to go with it. Now you can’t use the tote as a charging station but it’s nice to have the extra charger with it just in case you lose yours. 

The inside has lots of pockets and is set up for folders, tablets and laptops. 

I wanted to have a photo of what it looked like with me holding it. Sorry I was at home and in my slippers. It’s a great tote and I just wanted to share it. I hope that you enjoyed this post and this find. It comes in three different colors. It’s a perfect size and great for travel. My boss is already having her husband get her one for Christmas. Enjoy!!!!
