It’s My Birthday: Here Are Some Things I Like

Birthdays are days when you’re allowed to do whatever you want, eat whatever you want, and bask in amazement that you’ve actually gotten this old and still haven’t managed to find Ryan Gosling’s home address (what? Just me?). Anyhoo, being that I am now officially old enough to have a quarter-life crises, I’ve decided to share some things I’ve loved ever since I kicked my way out of the womb two months early (I’m impatient).

The Last Unicorn

I heart this move hardcore. I watched it every single day for three weeks at the age of 8, and I'm still convinced it's one of the best animated movies ever. It's got a bunch of familiar voices, a soundtrack by the fantastic 70's crooners America, and an Existential storyline that is so not for children. Here's the first 9 minutes of the movie. If you haven't seen this shiz, Netflix it immediately.

Bliss Beauty Blowout – Ends Tomorrow!

wb_441_8_blowout_sale_01.gif

Ugh. The weekend is so close we can taste it (it=beer). Unfortunately, though, it is still a full day away and as much as you want to love your summer internship, filing/making Starbucks runs for 8 hours a day for no pay makes everyone grumpyThursdays suck.

Well, we have some news to brighten your day! Bliss, makers of some of the best beauty products on earth, is having a massive blowout sale. Like 80% off, massive. That is cheap enough that even an unpaid intern can partake. And it isn’t just the crappy stuff no one wants that is on sale (like those half yearly shenanigans over at Victoria’s Secret).

They have my all-time favorite exfoliation set on super sale, not to mention some amazing relaxation products and some really cute accessories! Read More »

Steve Madden Super Sale!

steve-madden.jpgI don’t know when it happened, but in the course of a few years the prices at Steve Madden have gone up and up and up. Yes, the man makes some cute shoes, but come on; they are supposed to be for the common (yet chic) lady.

Well, the good news is he is having a major online sale. And I mean major. Up to 75% off of what seems like a thousand different styles.

Unlike other sales I have found lately (namely, at KateSpade.com), this sale isn’t on the old and outdated stuff. Sure, there are some ugly inclusions in the sale section, but most of the stuff being marked down is simply marvelous. Looking for a hot new pair of boots? There are so many good ones to choose from!

Money Saving Tips That Will Keep You Smiling

girl holding moneyAh, clothes, purses and sunglasses. Why do you torture me so?

While I do think it is a teeny-weeny-bit ridiculous that you are coming out in full autumn getup, you are, nonetheless, so freakin adorable.

Seeing your quilted leather handles or fur trimmed collar makes me want to pack away my mini-dresses and tanks and pray for a snow day.

But then I see your price tag and am forced back into reality — I can barely afford the final clearance summer rack let alone a new Marc Jacobs fall coat (which is really a shame because what a cute coat you are!).

However, there is hope my fellow penny-pinching college students of mine.

Thanks to Real Simple magazine, I have a few tips that will help you save up for that rainy day shopping spree.

• Buy Gas On Tuesdays: gas prices go up on weekends often because they want to take advantage of errand runners and weekend travelers. Read More »


My Man Steve Madden- He Knows How To Please.

steve-maddenI love my man. I met him back in 6th grade, and I fell in love. I feel so blessed to have such a long, trusting realtionship. Every year, every season, he brings me so many pretty things. We have really grown together. He knows exactly what I like and every year, even with all my indecisiveness and ever-changing moods and tastes, he has stood up to the challange. And this year, Steve Madden, my main man (in shoes that is… although I would never object to dating a man who could literally make me the little old lady who lived in her shoe) has made me proud again by bringing a plethora of styles to feed my/your foot fetish.

And what’s more is that right now on SteveMadden.com and in Steve Madden stores nation wide there is a major sale going on. (um, who’s excited for the next rainy day?)

Steve’s shoes this summer are so similar to those of the uber–exclusive (read: muy expensivo) designers…. (many are much cuter and for ¼ of the price much more appealing) I saw a shoe JUST like these by Marc Jacobs. Adorable! Read More »

yellow-tube-dress-final.jpgOne of my fave designer shopping sites, shopbop.com, is having a special until Monday, the 16th. Purchases of $100 or over get 20 bucks off, $250 or over get $50 off and $500+ get $100 off.

So obviously, I did my best to locate an item (nope, I can’t splurge today unfortunately) for a little over $100, just so that I could get that $20 off … and so I can add a little something cute to my clothing collection.I’m so excited to report that I have succeeded.

This little yellow mini dress ($128 - score!) is just perfect. Why? Because it’s a mini dress, it’s yellow and it has really cute pockets — all of which are very “in” right now. Did I hit three birds with one stone or what?!
