Tooted & Booted.

Regarding my post title, the later is more accurate. I just got these cute black ankle boots from Ross the other day and I'm beyond excited. To go with these bad boys I bought an adorable pair of floral lace tights from Charlotte Russe. I'm already dreaming of days on campus wear I rock these boots and lace leggings with a floral dress and slouchy cardigan. Another bonus? I get to cross of black boots and lace tights from my fall wishlist. Four down, seven to go!
On a more personal note, tomorrow I'm attending an A's baseball game. I'm so excited to be amongst a cheering fans and my friends. I heard it gets super chilly at the colloseum so I'm going to be toting some of my new fall purchases. Hopefully I have pictures for you guys!

Who Loves UO Shorts?

HC loves UO shorts! Aren't these the most adorable shorts you have ever seen? Glad you think so! As of 2:30pm today, they are all mine for only $10 at Urban Outfitters. I've already begun trying these babies on with cropped tops, military buttons downs, and pocketed tanks. The slouchy fit and lightweight material is just perfect for summer; but the style is so versatile that I could wear into fall. I think I'm in love!

Don't Judge Me...

Saying I'm a shopaholic would definitely be an understatement. Most shopaholics, as some may have seen on True Life: I'm a Compulsive Shopper, don't realize they have a problem with spending. I however, see the problem, and am enabler to myself. Is it bad that I don't care? Don't judge me! Anyways, here are my most recent purchases!
Reading, shopping, and going out is basically what my life consists of as of late. I thought this photo accurately captured this!
Marshalls/Ross: I found this amazingly cute cardigan that's super long in the front, but a normal length at the back and has buttons at the bottom so that in can be converted into a scarf. I also bought a plain purple T, and a knit sweater with cropped kimono sleeves.

Detailing on the white sweater I bought! (seen above)
Urban Outfitters: I'm obsessed with this bodysuit with the cutouts in the back, it's super slimming and cute. I also loved this soft grey shirt as a layering piece.

I was in love with these cute nail polishes from Urban. I am obsessed with greens and blues for nails currently. It's such a transformation from my usual pinks and purples!

Shopping Rehab was Made for Me

Recent Purchases: As promised I'm giving you guys a peak at some recent purchases. However, since I'm a MAJOR shopaholic, I have to update more pics for my most recent purchases today. I'm an addict, but as they say ignorance is bliss.

Currently Obsessed With: Free People's essentials, I love how they took one dress and updated in three cute ways for Fall!

Professions of a Shopaholic.

As promised in Shop Much, Take 2! I went to Nordstrom Rack yesterday. Once again, I failed to make any purchases; however, I did spend countless hours trying on designer brands, including the ever-fashionable Elizabeth & James. Let this be known that I officially love trying on clothes at high-end clothing stores, nothing teaches you more about your aesthetic, which for me is still boho chic, than picking clothes despite whether or not you can afford them. I found tons of adorable pieces that I will keep in mind when shopping for fall! My day wasn't all fun and games though :( I totally fell in love with this baggy Free People blazer that day which was a whopping 60% off and spent the majority of the shopping trip debating whether or not I should buy it and in the midst of my dilemma I totally forgot to purchase these really cute black DV by Dolce Vita sandals that I actually needed. You see I suffer from this disease called hugefeet-itis, so basically whenever I find shoes in my size (which is a size 12) it's in my best interest to purchase them because they're hard to come by. Plus the only sandal colors I have as of late are: gold, purple, and this animal print in beige & black. Anyways, this wouldn't be a problem if N. Rack wasn't an hour and a half drive away from my house! But hopefully I'll be going back sometime soon because my mom wanted to return her impulse purchase!

1. I totally fell in love with this Joie floral blouse. It would be really cute with a big grey sweater, dark jeans, and boots. Definitely on the look out for more pieces at this! 2. This top was actually a tight sweater dress with shoulder pads a la Elizabeth and James. I love how classic it is! 3. I'm obsessed with the detail of this Joe's V-Neck, it inspired me to do a DIY version with one of mine. 4. I totally adored this blazer, it was such a tough decision for me to not buy it. It was so lightweight and comfy! 5. This cropped Elizabeth & James jacket had a business like silhouette but was totally biker chic. I absolutely loved it! 6. This Kensie vest was both figure flattering and cute, I loved the ruffles! 7 & 8. This Elizabeth and James tank was my dressing room all-star, I layered all of the jackets I tried on over it but it should really be worn alone. The intricate beading should be flaunted not hidden. 9. My shopping companion! I love my studded slouchy bag. It fits everything including my sequined wallet, phone, and my Taylor Lautner bookmark haha. 10. My second shopping companion! My sister later showed up to join the shopping excursion. Don't you totally die for her fringe Juicy Couture boots? They look kind of ridiculous at first but then they totally grow on you lol!

What's your most prized purchase this summer for fall?

Shop Much, Take 2!

I went shopping at Nordstroms again (story of my life!) this time instead of buying stuff I decided to just try some stuff on in the mirror so you guys could get a sense of my style. Sorry the pictures aren't the best! I was working a one woman show as my friends tore up the dressing rooms, ha! Like I said before I didn't purchase anything but I did get to experiment with funky styles! I love just going into stores and just trying on clothes because it's like being a stylist with unlimited wardrobe and you can just have fun! Tomorrow I'm going to Nordstrom Rack for the boots sale, I'll let you know how it goes! What are you guys doing in order to get ready for the fall season?
PhotobucketI was absolutely in love with this sweater! It was so cozy and warm and I feel like I really meshes with the Fair Isles trend seen on the runway! My friend actually ended up buying it, soo cute!PhotobucketYou can see this studded tank in better quality in this post but I really loved the color of this one! I think I'm hoping to find a cardigan in that color for fall.Photobucket This corset shirt was really cute but more like a cami than a corset! And I was in love with this skirt, you can't really see the print but it was cheetah! It was super fierce!

Shop Much?

Today was the first day of Nordstrom's annual anniversary sale! Which is when all of newly stocked fall merchandise is discounted up until August 2nd so that shopaholics (like me!) can stock up for back to school without feeling the guilt of breaking the bank. The funny thing is whenever I go to this sale I never buy any of the anniversary sale items; however, I did pick out some of the items that I thought were adorable. Check out Nordstroms whenever you get the chance!

On my shopping adventure I saw this jacket on the sale rack of Urban Outfitters. I'm completely in love with the shape and texture of the silk rosettes sewn into this badass bomber. I fantasize of wearing this jacket over dresses with poofy skirts and skinny jeans paired with motorcycle boots. I'm absolutely in love!

I ended up buying this grey blazer in a lightweight material, a floral silk shirt, a plain purple tank, and a really cute chain necklace at Nordy's. What do you guys think of my purchases!? Are blazers over? Haha, let me know what you think!
