How opposed are you to grand theft auto?

Yes lovelies, it is true, I am a Twilight fan. Maybe fan isn't a strong enough word. Last year when I was living in student housing, a roommate started reading. Me being the bookworm that I am, I picked up Twilight one day and started reading. The second book I read in one sitting one night when I was supposed to be sleeping. I got less than an hour of sleep that night and happily worked a full day at work the next day. Just to show how much I love the books....

New Moon followed the book. I am very happy to report that I loved it! I'm very excited to see how they're going to do the 3rd installment with Jacob's part! YAAAY! I LOOOOOVE Twilight!

To celebrate the release of New Moon, I have decided to do a New Moon-inspired outfit. I absolutely adored Alice's birthday party outfit and wanted to recreate it the best that I could.

Look For Less

$50 or Less

Alice Birthday Party Outfit

It's a little bit hard to see in this picture, but Alice is wearing a lovely purple strapey dress and black heels. I decided to spice up her outfit a bit, in a totally Alice way of course, and bring it to you all for $50 or less!

Good evening lovelies! I hope you all are avoiding whatever is going around. Thankfully I seem to be almost past it.

Did anyone watch Lady Gaga's performance on Gossip Girl? AWESOME! I swear, that girl is AMAZING!

Drea Animal Cardigan: $24.99

I love myself some Delia's, and this little cardigan is an awesome way to spice up an outfit and go for a very hot trend, animal prints. They are still very in-style and they can be seen everywhere. Zebra is still powerful without being quite so bold as cheetah. This will look great over a LBD and keep you cozy too!

Alright lovelies, time to shop! Have fun now, and stay toasty! =)

Seen in the daylight

Good morning lovelies! I know this may seem a bit odd, me posting so early, but I am posting to let you know that I will not be posting this evening. I have to work until 11 and then I am immediately getting on the road and driving up to my mother's house up north. There are some very important things I must take care of tomorrow which require me to make the 3-hour drive and then I must wake up very early tomorrow to do those things.

I promise you though I will post tomorrow after I get those things done, and it will be a fantastic post.

=)

Hot tea and nyquil

Hello again my lovelies. Yes, it is true, after weeks of claiming that I could not get sick after my boyfriend got the hort one since the Nyquil will be kicking in soon. Goodness knows waking up with the keyboard flu and I came out scot-free and smelling like roses, I have finally gotten a stuffy nose, sore throat and congestion. Don't worry, you won't get sick from reading this.


This one is going to be a simprinted on my forehead is not the way to start off a Monday workday.

I don't know if you knew this about me but, like most of women nowadays, i'm obsessed with boots. I can't wear anything else to work. Nothing is as comfortable. Nothing goes with everything else. My boots are my lifesaver! I work pretty flats once with gel inserts and my feet were hurting at the end of the night. I wear my boots all day, 9 hours, no pain. This is why I'm always on the lookout for cheap and adorable boots that I can wear to work.

Yes my lovelies, I have found such boots! And all for less than $50! Woo-hoo!

BOOTS!!!!!!!

Target.com

I do love myself some Target. I can always find a good deal there on something I want and need and will love. They have provided once again.

Kasia Perforated Suede Boot: $19.98

Knee-high grey perforated suede boots for less than $20. Do you have to think about this? I mean, really now. REALLY?

Kalena Studded Moto Boots - Black: $39.99

Now, these boots are a bit more on the pricey side, but good lord they're gorgeous! These will go with ANYTHING and make it look kick-ass! You could be wearing a paper bag, put on these boots and BAM, hot outfit. No lie. That's the beauty of boots. They pull ANY outfit from good to HOLY CRAP!

Ombre Rainboot- Pink:$24.99

Once upon a time I owned a pair of black rainboots. Then along came spiders, too many rainy nights outside and just plain forgetfullness. Never again. The thing about San Diego is that during the winter, when it rains, it pours. I need a new pair. These are perfect! They're not boring basic black, but they're still chic enough to go with anything. How awesome is the ombre? Ombre makes anything look cooler. True story.

Big Girls Don't Cry

Good evening lovelies! I apologize about not posting last night; I was going through some very serious personal issues that took all night to sort out. I promise I didn't forget about you all though!

Just to make it up to you, I have handpicked some of the internet's most amazing deals from some very underground brands and not-so-well known sites.

HOT Online Deals

$50 or Less!!!

Johnnycupcakes.com

First and foremost, we have the amazingly amazing and still somewhat underground brand Johnny Cupcakes. It was started by a guy named Johnny in Boston, Massachusetts back in 2000. Instead of selling out to main-stream corporations, he has decided to keep his brand with its quality intact. He has 2 stores in Boston, and one in Los Angeles.

Really funny story about Johnny Cupcakes; when I was still living in New Hampshire, i used to go to Seacoast Outright. One night there was a guy named Thomas wearing a Johnny Cupcakes t-shirt with a cupcakes and crossbones. Yes, you read correctly, a cupcake and crossbones on the front of his black t-shirt. I saw that shirt and complimented him on it. I didn't remember many things about going to Outright, but I always remembered that shirt.

Fast forward to about 4 years later, I was sitting in my Brand Marketing class last week when a classmate presented about a little brand called Johnny Cupcakes. The minute I saw the cupcakes and skull bones on the screen, I remembered that shirt and googled them. Then, of course, while watching Attack of the Show (Cause I'm secretly a nerd like that), they presented a segment on Johnny Cupcakes.

Needless to say, you all should go check out his website, and if you're near one of the stores, stop in!

CrossBones Boxers: $4.99

I'm going to be honest, I have a major thing for boxers. I love wearing them. They're comfy as ever. And, from what I've heard at least, guys like them too. These would make the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone! =)

http://www.johnnycupcakes.com/design/990/CrossbonesBoxers




Polka Dot Crossbones Guys: $24.99

This would make the perfect gift for that special guy or girl in your life. I love a girl in an awesome men's tee, and I love men in t's with awesome graphics. This is just a wardrobe essential to me. Every wardrobe needs one tee with an awesome print.

Forks Striped Tie: $24.99
