$880 on shoes

It's not a big secret that I have a major shopping obsession, which I know stresses my husband out quite a bit. But a girl has to have a hobby right?! So I found this extremely funny when Patty boy told me about his dream the other night-- it went something like this. I came home with a huge shopping bag from Foot Locker, which entailed $880 worth of shoes and I over drafted our checking account-- LOL. First of all I can think of many shoe stores I could spend $880 on shoes much before Foot Locker. Still funny though...

So what shoes could I spend that kind of money on???

How about these I'm currently obsessing over..




Who wouldn't want a pair of one of the hottest trends right now- cage shoes?! These are my fav- Vince Camuto via Nordstrom, although I have many others I'm drooling over..

I love these Dolce Vita wedges via Nordstrom. I actually tried these on and they were super comfy even more of a plus. The thick straps and neutral colors would make them good with just about any outfit.

 Oh how I long for a pair of Sam Edelman's- especially these spicy little things. Wouldn't these be cute with a fun bright colored dress?? Via Piperlime

 

I love these cute little turquoise flats also be Dolce Vita via Piperlime- this brand is starting to become one of my favs.

Just simple little black wedges - currently at on the hautelook website for $49, now that is a steal!

And the list could go on and on...

Fall Wish List

As we speak I'm drinking a nice hot cup of coffee with the windows open, loving the crisp, fresh breeze, and even more loving this fall weather that is approaching. I'm definitely a lover of summer but am honestly over the heat and looking forward to busting out the boots, scarves, leggings, sweats, and
 warm comfy clothes! 

We have lots of fun fall things planned and as my calendar is filling up so is my wish list of fall items:)

Here are some of my current wants right now...ok let me clarify- items I really really want!



Denim Chambray Shirt - GAP



 Aryn K. Color Block Dress- Piperlime-Wanting this dress SO bad for an October wedding I am going to.




 


Via La Posh Style- I'm just loving the colors of this top. This could be a great work top as well as putting it with a cute pair of skinnies and some gold jewelry.




I am OBSESSED with this top via La Posh Style. Love the lace/denim contrast. Must have.





Loving all the Wildfox line..especially loving this fun top.



TOMS new wedge bootie....another must have that I'm eyeing daily.

Kelsi Dagger cap toe pumps



Love these cute little Seychelles booties also via endless.

Ok. Now I just need to figure out how I can afford all of these fun new pieces. Happy Fall Shopping!

Much Love~

Life in the BiG D

5.1.12

This past weekend Pat and I headed down to Dallas to visit my cousins (who I lived with for two summers) and one of my long time friends Keesha (known this girl since 3rd grade!) and her husband Garrett. It was always my dream to move away after college, and of all places Dallas was the place I wanted to be. So I did it. Moved away all on my own. BUT life happened, and I was broke, depressed, and couldn't find a job after my internship had completed, so I followed my heart and took a job back home in Wichita. I now know why it happened the way it did, because if I wouldn't have moved home I wouldn't have ended up with this cute guy below:) Anywho to get to my point- I'd love to move back! This time with my hubby and a job and more of a plan I guess you could say. Soooooo that brings me to too this point, should we move back?! I guess we'll see where life takes us, but we're young, have no kids (and don't plan on having any for a while, so why not?!) It was a great weekend, made me miss the big city life and all that it has to offer.

We went to the Rangers game as you can see from our pics:) Fun time! Also did some shopping, I was so happy with my purchases! The weekend just went by too fast, and we had a crappy drive home, blah- Monday rolled around just too quick.



Much Love~

Five Things

2.26.12
I recently saw this on a blog and thought it was a good idea. These are 5 Things that I'm really lovin' right now, enjoy:)

1. Bethenny Frankel's 5 New Skinnygirl Cockails
I'm not a huge drinker, but when I do have a drink, I'm always looking for something that is as low in calories as possible. One of my favorite drinks are margarita's..yuumm so delicious. But this is something I rarely order- they are loaded in sugar, carbs, pretty much everything my body hates. So when Bethenny released her first cocktail- the skinnygirl margarita, I was hooked! Now whenever we go a mexican restaurant and I feel like a margarita, I will order it skinny style. We recently went to a mexican restaurant and I tried to order one and the waiter looked at me like I was a freak, guess not every restaurant has branched out yet ha! She has recently released five new cocktails- 4 flavors of vodka and a ready to drink Pina Colada..fabulous! She also has a line of wine that I'm super excited to try as well!

2. My New Bookshelf
For sometime now I have been obsessing over a leaning bookshelf, I have no idea why, but once I get something in my head I can't quit thinking about it! I've always thought they were awesome, and have been begging Pat to let me order one, he always claimed we had no room for one. So for my birthday, guess what I got?!?! Yep, a leaning bookshelf, my Mom did good :) I also found the perfect spot for it. Now I have to go shopping to fill it with cute knick knacks! Hobby Lobby here I come!

3. My new SPRING suit
I have to wear suits to work, which sometimes can get kind of annoying, and I wish I could wear business casual, it would really give me so many more options! I was thorougly excited when Wichita got The Limited back in town, because I adore their business clothes!!! I had a giftcard for my birthday and got an excellent deal on this cute khaki suit. I'm so very much looking forward to wearing it with coral, yellow, teal, red, etc.
Anything bright and springy:)

4. Consignment Stores
I hate garage selling. It just creeps me out, something about digging through someone's used stuff in their garage. Anyway, I've never been a fan of buying used stuff until recently. I guess a lot of it has to do with pinterest which has inspired me to be more "crafty" and attempt more DIY projects. My sister's wedding is just around the corner and we have been doing a lot of DIY projects. I'm also planning her shower in April and am also busy crafting as well for that. So now I am OBSESSED with consignment stores...there are a few in Wichita that I can't get enough of.

Absolute Vintage Boutique
Urban Renewal
Mrs. O'Leary's

The anticipation of finding an amazing piece in the store and then imagining what you can do with it and make of it is so much fun! Plus you can bring in your own items to sell and make some money which doesn't hurt either right?!

5. The Vow
Ok, so there was a lot of hype about this movie, and it was good don't get me wrong, but let me tell you the book was 100 times better! There was a few things in the movie that really disappointed me, it kind of got away from what the whole point of the book was, which was to keep the vow, the vows that were said the day they got married. If you haven't read the book, I definitely recommend reading it, it makes you appreciate love and life. It is actuallly written by the husband and wife the movie was based on and it is truly inspirational to see what they went through, I promise you won't be disappointed.
