Sweater & Tote Shopping at H & M

/in , /by

Just a quick little post. I decided to take some of my lunch break time and get away from the office for a bit. I always like taking a little walk. It helps me clear my head and sometimes it is very inspiring. I get info for the blog or it gives me ideas for home.

So last week it was H & M. I saw a few things that I liked and just wanted to share them….

Love this coat!
Wool-blend Coat

Great blouse, I may need to go back and get it!
Satin Blouse

Great colors!
Beaded Appliques
This is great!

Love the bug details!
Sweater




This is a giant infinity scarf! I couldn’t find it online but it is quite lovely

They have the best totes! I do wish some were a little bit bigger!
Black tote


Handbag

Great skirt, it has little sparkles. 
It’s always fun shopping in H & M. They always have great fashion pieces at great prices. Enjoy the finds!!!!

A Recent Purchase….

/2 Comments/in , /by

Well, I finally purchased a blue and white tea cup set. I found it on Ebay. It’s funny I didn’t realize it until a few days ago but the same cup that I purchased on Ebay was the same cup that I had on my inspiration grid at work.

This is my inspiration grid. It has things that I love. I have a room in the middle that is from a French hotel. I love the furniture! I have my dream Chanel bag. Peonies from my bouquet last year. A chateau that is for sale in Normandy and last but not least the blue and white tea cup that I found on Pinterest and that I just loved.

Here is the photo on Ebay. I seriously didn’t realize it was the same cup until the day before it shipped! Uncanny right?
So I made an offer and it was accepted! I received it on Friday and here it is below. 
Now it is exactly as she said in the description, I just didn’t realize that it would be so small. 
But I have to keep in mind that these cups are from the 40’s and everything was in smaller portion sizes back then. I still love it but the search continues for my blue and white cup. I do love my new set that I picked up last week. 
I do love these cups. They were such a wonderful find! I sort of wish I would have picked up those crystal vases too! Oh well all the more reason to continue to go antiquing!

My Silk Scarf Collection

/7 Comments/in , /by

I wanted to do a fun post of all of my favorite silk scarves. I love scarves and think there is such an elegance to them. They add class to any outfit….

Love this scarf found it at H & M. It is really great and so is the price!

The next three scarves are from Ralph Lauren. They are called the Equestrian scarves and the only place to find them is on Ebay or the Ralph Lauren outlet mall. 

In cream

In green 







This is Ralph Lauren too.

I hope this post inspires you to take another look at scarves or inspires you to pull out your satin or silk scarves. As autumn approaches nothing could make you look more dressed up or polished than a silk scarf. 
Enjoy the hunt!!!
Also here is a fabulous video from You-tuber Audrey Coyne. I love her channel and her style!

The Thilima Pump

/in , /by

Another quick post about a great shoe. I found this a few weeks ago while in DSW. I had a $10 off coupon and just could not let that go to waste! That’s like throwing away free money. I can’t do it.

I was walking around when I saw this shoe and just had to try it…..

It is lovely. It is called the Thilima Pump and it comes in 3 different colors. Click on the link to take a peek. The price is great and so are the reviews. Enjoy!!!!

A Little Outlet Mall Shopping

/3 Comments/in , /by

This is a quick little post about my girl’s day of shopping with my mom, daughter and good friend Brittany. We decided to head to the outlet mall near my city (I did this last year in February, see my blog post here if you missed it) do a little shopping and have some lunch.

It turned out to be a beautiful day and it was nice to hang out with my mom, daughter and friend for a day. My husband was not there to hold me back! But in all fairness I did not go overboard even though it could have been very easy to do so. I did however wanted to share what I picked up….

My mother stopped in Michael Kors and picked up a tote. It was very nice. We then did a quick pop-in Coach, sorry to say that it was very disappointing. But on we go….

I went into Ann Taylor and like always I find wonderful things….

I love the detail lace on the sleeves. I really regret not buying this!

Love the polka-dot eyeglass case

I loved this skirt as well but they did not have my size.
We then went and looked inside Banana Republic. These were the only things I saw….

The earrings above, this fabulous skirt, again they did not have my size!

and 
This wonderful necklace that I had to buy!
Sorry I had the sku# but could not find it online.
We then paid a visit to Nine West. I loved these but did not buy them.

Or these….

I purchased these. I wanted something comfortable and chic to wear on the weekends. 
This are called the Eladiao flats. I could not find them online anywhere. 
I also picked up these. They are called the Adelineo pump and they are hard to find!
This was the only pair I could find!
I love the gold ribbon on the back and I only paid $20!
And last but certainly not least is my Kate Saffiano tote.
I love the color and the gold hardware. If you wish to purchase it you will find it here. But move quickly, I don’t think it will be around too long. 
I hope you enjoyed this post and are able to find some of the beautiful things here.
Enjoy!

Both shoes are quite comfortable and very chic…. Enjoy!

Ballet Nine West Pump

/in , /by

Now I can not seem to resist a beautiful shoe. I saw these beauties on Ninewest.com. Now when I ordered them I selected my size and when I received them they were really small. So I returned them and Ninewest gave excellent customer service. They even gave me the difference because they were now on sale!

I went up a size and they fit very well. I have received lots of compliments on them and I am enjoying them.

Ninewest Sylmar Pump
Here they are with the black ribbon…..
I have worn them for 2 days in a row now and I have just loved them! So if you decide to order them please order a size up! I do hope that you enjoyed this post.
