Elegant Clothes and Feminine Accessories

A little Shopping at DSW

/in , /by

After watching the Royal Wedding I ran some errands and stopped by DSW. I just wanted to take a quick run through to see if they had any new beauties to pick up. Here were a few that I looked at.

I saw these instantly and was going to purchase them until I realized that I have a pair that is almost identical. These are called the Violet and Red Lively Sandal.

I then looked up and saw these. They are called the Jessica Simpson Malaylee Sandal. I tried them on and they are quite comfortable. 

Next was the Impo Elina Pump. I would have tried these on but they did not have my size. I may order them online. 

I loved these too until again I realized that I had a pair almost identical at home in gray! I am such a creature of habit. These are called the Franco Sarto Dayanara Pump if you are interested. 

Lastly, I saw these. I have been looking for a shoe like this for quite some time now. These are the Franco Sarto Imogen Pump . It is so similar to the Chanel pump. I had to buy it! 
My pair
I ended up getting them for only $45! They had a small ink stain on them and I had a $10 off coupon! Yeah me!  I know that these will look great with my wardrobe. 
It is uncanny how much they look like the Chanel’s right? Such a great deal and I am so pleased. I hope that you enjoy this post and may have found a great pair for yourself!

Current Purchases from Poshmark

/1 Comment/in , /by

I mentioned a few weeks ago about how I have been selling items on Poshmark. It has been going great and I still love doing it. Because of my recent sales I have been able to purchase some great finds! I just wanted to share a few of the items that I was able to buy for great prices!!!

These are some great nude Jessica Simpson wedges that I purchased for $18!!!

These were so cute! These Massini nude bow pumps I got for a steal! Only $10!

Okay I have been wanting a pair of these J Crew layered pearls for years and I was able to get them for $15!!

An authentic Chanel sunglass case…. I paid $25! Do I have a pair of Chanel sunglasses… no, but my Coach sunglasses fit and look great in this case!!

This was a wonderful C Wonder Leopard tote that I purchased for $30! I was stalking this for awhile. 
My “likes” list is pretty long but I have been trying to buy each item bit by bit and my sales are helping me to accomplish that. If you are not familiar with Poshmark take an opportunity to. You can negotiate with the sellers and you just might walk away with a great item for less!

The Floral Maxi

/2 Comments/in , /by

Spring is here, spring is here, it’s the best time of the year! I heard that on a cartoon some years ago. It has a nice ring to it. I am loving all of the floral clothes and accessories out this year. I love it when companies provide lots of feminine clothing. It makes shopping so much more enjoyable to me.

Especially when I saw this floral maxi in  New York and Company.

Isn’t it lovely? I adore it and went on a quest to find it. The day it hit the website it was immediately sold out! I was furious! I thought what in the world! So I went to the store and they said that they were not getting any. You can’t be serious can you? So then I called customer service and they said that it was sold out!
So mad but I stayed elegant and was not rude to anyone. Then one of my co-workers (who works there part-time) told me that it arrived online! Eureka! I ordered it right away and could not be more happier!
And yes it has pockets!

I am wearing an extra large. Honestly, they run big so I could have gone down to a large and it would have been fine. But I think it will shrink once I wash it. But wouldn’t this dress be lovely for a graduation, wedding or baby shower?  With Mother’s Day arriving soon I think this would be a great dress to wear to church or brunch. I do adore it and wanted to share this lovely find. As always I do hope that you enjoyed this post and might have found your spring maxi!
Enjoy!

Recent Spring Finds

/in , /by

I believe spring is finally here! Oh wait maybe I should whisper before Old Father Winter returns. It has taken forever to warm up here but I must admit this has been one of the nicest weeks that we have had here in Indy.

Alright, now to share a few of my most recent “spring” finds.

This is the beautifully scented Casablanca Lily candle from Bath and Body Works. It has lilies and hyacinths in it. It smells like a fresh garden. I am enjoying it!

Next on my list….

These are so comfortable and incredibly chic! They are called the Hyleta Knotted Mule in lavender. I saw these in Target and had to get them. What a great sandal to start your spring with! 

The next item I saw was on a favorite bloggers Instagram page. The title alone captured my attention. “The French Art of Making a Home”, so curious. I ordered a sample on my Kindle and I just consumed the introduction. Then I ordered the book, Home Sweet Maison. I just started reading it and I am really enjoying how Danielle gives many details about her French friend in the book. It is lovely so far. 

And my last find is a delicious red wine.

My husband came home with this a few weeks ago. I am a huge fan of Risata’s white moscato wine. But I never thought that I would love a red wine until I tasted this! It is the best sweet red wine that I have ever tasted.  Risata Red Moscato wine tastes wonderful! I know that my husband and I will be adding this to our favorite bottle list this spring and summer.

Well I hope that you enjoyed my recent finds. I always love sharing items that I discover. If any of you end up purchasing some of the items on the post please let me know! I am always curious about if my readers enjoy the content. Have a great weekend!

Cara Floral

/in , /by

This is a quick post about a recent floral earring find. With spring approaching (I hope) finding floral accessories is always a bonus.

I had a free day recently. I got to wonder around my favorite store and one of the sales clerk showed me these pretty floral earrings from Cara.

Aren’t they lovely? They are called the cara floral earring. I purchased the grey and blush. They have them in ivory also. I have been wearing them non-stop. They are just gorgeous! 
They have a soft texture to them. I wonder if they are made of clay. I do hope that you can see them in person. They are beautiful and I believe there is a matching necklace to it. I did not find it online but my store had it. 
I hope you enjoyed this post and this find!

The Pink Blush Shopper

/6 Comments/in , /by

A few weeks ago I had a post called “Beautiful Trinkets at H & M” and in that post I mentioned a pink blush shopper. I was so unsure if I was going to order it because my H & M location had not received it yet.

I like to see my items in person. To be quite honest I hate online shopping! I like to go and see EVERYTHING. But a few weeks ago my location finally got it and I purchased it and I could not be more happier.

It is a fabulous tote!

It is the PERFECT pink blush color and the best size! Not to mention the price made it very easy to purchase. 
I carry my breakfast, lunch, magazines and current books I am reading in this tote. I have carried shoes and my umbrella. I mean I have carried everything in this tote. I do love it and if you were on the fence about buying it maybe these photos will help. 
I do hope that you enjoyed this post. I am still on the fence about the porcelain cup and the soap dispensers. If anyone has ordered these please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

Kate Spade Bow Tote ~ A Recent Purchase

/4 Comments/in , /by

It has been years since I have purchased a straw purse. I saw this at my favorite store and thought this would be so chic to have for the summer.

This is the beautiful Kate Spade Olive Drive Straw Weave Savannah tote. I have loved carrying this! Everything fits and it helps me to stay so organized. I love all the space on the inside and the beautiful color. 
Inside the bag, pink!

It came beautiful wrapped of course.
It looks so feminine!

With just enough gold
Here I am running errands with it. You can also see my H & M pink blush tote which I will share later. I am also starting to become a big fan of babies breath floral arrangements. I didn’t realize how beautiful their smell was and I think that they are so elegant in a vase. 
Well I do hope that you enjoyed this post and maybe you are inspired to pick up some babies breath of your own!
Enjoy!!!
