Day Off

Today my day is completely free!

I have a day off with no obligations! YAY!!! 

Of course I made a few plans to enjoy it (:

Today is going to be a pampering day for me, to kick off my anniversary weekend the right way!

First, I'm going to straighten my hair while watching Netflix (MY FAIR WEDDING! MY FAIR WEDDING!)

Then I'm picking Kala up and we're going to get our nails done

And then we're picking Allie up and we're going to officially hit up the Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta!

And I'm super have a plan woman, so of course I've already picked out the stores we're definitely going to have to go to, plus whatever they wanna go in.

We're going to start in the upper right, because that's where I parked when I worked at the Chick-fil-A there, and it's closest to Kate Spade! Of course, Kate Spade is stop number one for me! White House Black Market and J. Crew are next for me. Maybe a stop at Steve Madden too, depends on them. I have a feeling Allie will want to stop at Michael Kors.

Tommy Hilfiger is another definite stop for me, then Puma at the end of that aisle. We will then walk all the way down to Charlotte Russe and Adidas (we're stopping at both!) and work our way back. And we'll stop by Columbia and Papaya over here. Then I want to go inside the food court and use my coupon for Cupcakelicious, and maybe visit Claire's.

Then there's Nike, JOS A. Bank, and Nine West in this aisle, with a stop at Bose for Luis.

My main reason (excuse) for going today is to buy an anniversary present for Luis, so hopefully I'll find something awesome for him in one of those stores, if not, he loves Bose and music.

I'm not sure how long our shopping trip will be. I could easily stay there until close, but I doubt Allie and Kala will want to shop from 3 to 9, so we'll see. 

And then I'm going to go see Luis tonight and kick off our anniversary weekend!!!

I probably won't post again til Monday, so be excited to hear about how the weekend went!

New Arrivals - Kate Spade

It's official.

I'm obsessed.

It's another Kate Spade post guys, #sorrynotsorry in advance.

And their new arrivals are labeled as a Lights, Camera, Action!, oldies cinema look! I was in love before I even looked!

Price: $448

This Olivia dress is my favorite of the dresses. Probably because it's the most colorful and reminiscent of summer, and I'm still in a summer wear mood. I love the cinched waist and the bright colors, plus it has a cute flirty skirt.

Price: $448

This Leah dress is beautiful, especially for a business setting. I love the high waisted pencil skirt and the cute tie-neck detail. If I could find a blazer of the same shade to throw over it, it would be perfect!

This Joyann dress required a front and back shot. Because as sleek and elegant as the front is...

Price: $378

...The back adds a whole nother level of sexiness to the dress. I absolutely love it! Especially that little bow right at the small of the back. Wonderful!

Price: $368

Then there's this Jazz skirt. It's beautiful, simple, and elegant. Two thumbs up from me!

Price: $458

I love this cute black purse. It's extremely sophisticated, perfect for the office! And the inside is lined with little bows. Too cute!

Price: $148

I'm loving statement necklaces more and more with each passing day, and this necklace is the kind of necklace that I would love to rock with a cute dress!

Price: $35

It's a clapboard iPhone case.. Need I say more? Love!

Price: 250

Kate Spade honestly has the best bangle watches ever. I really love this creme colored one. It would go well with so many outfits!

Price: $175

This one is really different from the bangle watches I usually like. The big face is usually a turn off for me, but I love how it's mostly black with just small details of white and gold. Too cute!

Price: $250

This Gold Bazooka one is just a guilty pleasure watch. It's gold with pink details, what's there not to love?? I'd probably never wear it, but it's cute to look at.

Price: $328

This Carrin Heel has me swooning. It would be perfect to wear to the office. Nude with black makes for a sophisticated color combination. Plus it'll go along with most outfits.

Price: $328

My favorite part about this Dijon Heel is that it has the cute Kate Spade bow at the front, but it's color choices are sophisticated enough that I could wear these with almost any suit to almost any business professional occasion. I love it!

Price: $298

Then we have the two Kalle Wedges! I love the elegance of this black one.

Price: $298

But this brown one would be perfect for a casual day, or even to wear with a cute sundress.

Price: $328

Out of everything, this one is the truest sign of an upcoming fall... But I can't be angry because this Rickee ankle boot is gorgeous! I would probably wear it with every single one of my fall and winter outfits if I owned it. Look at the cute bow on the zipper! Adorable! Plus it was made in Brasil! Can I please own this???

That's it for my favorites from the latest Kate Spade arrival. I swear they make each collection more beautiful than the last!

Outlet Mall!

I love outlet malls!!!

They have all the beautiful brand clothes that I love, for a much much cheaper price than the normal stores!

Plus they're always having this sale and that sale, and 25% off the already 50% sale and whatnot. It's an amazing way to look gorgeous for less!

Unfortunately, the only time I go outlet shopping is when I'm in Florida, because there are outlet malls around every corner in Orlando (seriously, it's like every shopaholics heaven! They have every store possible!)

But that's all about to change, because a new outlet mall opened in Atlanta!!!

Yes sirree bobski, The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta are up and ready to be shopped at and I am uber excited!

They opened on the 18th, and I would have most definitely been there for the grand opening, but I am dirt broke until pay day. Like seriously, my bank account is so depleted it hurts.

But as soon as I have some surplus money... You already know where to find me!

The stores I am most excited about:

Columbia Sportswear (Especially now that summer is almost over)

J. Crew

KATE SPADE NEW YORK!!!!! (Do I even have to explain my excitement on this one??)

Nike

Papaya (Just because there isn't really one close to me otherwise)

Puma

Tommy Hilfiger

White House | Black Market

Coach

Michael Kors

Steve Madden

And they have a whole page on their website dedicated to their sales and events!!! Which means it's that much easier for me to find great deals!!!

I'm super excited and I'm getting together a group of friends to go with me, as soon as we have some money to blow.

I'll definitely keep you guys updated on my outlet mall trip!

Stylish Night Out

So I haven't done one of these in a while...

A Polyvore post!

Today's theme is.. You guessed it! Outfits for a night out!

Here's our first outfit!

Too cute. I was thinking about making this a summer-y post, but then I saw this gorgeous Kelly Ewing dress and fell in love! But really, the true beauty here is the Kate Spade Skinny Mini Bow ring, because we all know how much I love Kate Spade! I'm actually loving this entire outfit, especially my cheap $5 dangling earrings from Charlotte Russe!

The thing about my style is that half the outfits I love can be doubled as clothes for the professional world. If I swapped out those strappy suede sandals for a pair of pumps and maybe toned down on the jewelry some, I'd have a great office outfit here. But I did get a little pricey with this outfit. The jacket is Versace and the small shoulder bag is Saint Laurent Cassandre. The ring is Kate Spade again, as I was pleased to find out when I started looking at the individual items. Overall, I would totally love having this outfit in my wardrobe!

I feel like I should clarify how I create my outfits. I don't look at brands or prices while putting the outfit together. I put an outfit I think looks cute together, and after I publish, I look at the individual pieces to see where they're from. (With the exception of my rich girl post that is)

Anyways, on to the next outfit. This red shift dress is simply gorgeous! I couldn't resist it, even though the picture of it is faded *insert sad face*. This outfit has inspired me to complete the full transition into a prepster and heavily invest in pearls. Oh my goodness, the pearls did wonders for this look. I'm going to have to hunt some down during my next shopping spree!

That's it for today's outfits! Let me know what you think about them!

Kate Spade New Arrivals

Yes, it's another new arrivals post, and this time it's for Kate Spade!!!

Oh my goodness, the new items are oh so adorable, I just want to be a millionaire already and buy all of them right up.

Here are some (a lot) of my favorites from this new, golf-inspired batch of Kate Spade gorgeousness!

Price: $358

I usually don't go for super simple dresses, but this Rhys Dress is on point. I really like it, plus it has pockets!

Price: $448

I love this one! It has such a beautiful, subtle floral print, plus the color is gorgeous! I really like this one. An added plus is the v-neck. It's low enough to create a nice feminine figure, but high enough that it's modest and shows no cleavage!

Price: $348

The good things I could say about this skirt are endless. Definitely one of my favorites of this batch. I love the high waist look with such a beautiful belted waist. I also like how the material is shiny, so even though the entire skirt is made of the same color fabric, the belt looks like it's a slightly different color. Plus I love pleats. I had a stage when I hated pleats and plaid, right after private school (Our uniform was a pleated plaid skirt, even in the winter and I hated that skirt with a passion), but I have slowly learned to love it once again. Pleats just look so sophisticated and cute!

Price: $248

This Robbie Skirt has the same print as the Minae Dress two pictures above. I think I like the skirt more than I did the dress. The color just looks brighter on this one. The only problem with this one is that the skirt is pretty short, and I don't do very well with short skirts. My thighs are ginormous and my butt always raises all my skirts in the back. So this one is just going to be something pretty to look at because I wouldn't be able to fit in it (As if, they're all something pretty to look at cause I can't afford any of them...)

Price: $78

They have a whole new line of jewelry that has this beautiful Bungalow Bouquet design. They're all quite cute, but my favorite from the line was this one. I just think that it's bright, colorful, and fun! I have no idea what I would wear it with, but I would love it in my earring collection!

Price: $268

It's shoe time! I absolutely loved all of the shoes on this go around, and it was all I could do to not get all of them to blog about. I did, however, manage to control myself (somewhat). This one is the Anika Heel, and while they had a beautiful black and white version that would be so much more practical, I'm loving these pink with black! I would build an entire wardrobe around pink just to wear these! So cute!

Price: $328

I'm in love, really. This one has THREE bows on it! And it is such a gorgeous champagne color. So sophisticated. I don't know what else to say. I want!

Price: $328

I am convinced that on my wedding day, I will wear a pair of these Kate Spade mesh shoes! They are all so cute! Plus it looks like sexy foot lingerie, which is perfect for my feet on my wedding day! This one is the Salina Heel. Don't you just love that big double bow on it? I do *sigh*

Price: $328

Then there's the Lisa Heel, also very wedding appropriate. It's much taller and the bow is simpler. It also covers all of my foot, instead of leaving out that little bit of toe cleavage. So if my toes aren't looking their best on my wedding day...

Price: $328

But the Lisa Heel is also available in different colors, and I just couldn't resist. It's sexy foot lingerie! These black Lisas would look amazing with a LBD on any occasion. So beautifully sexy, I'm in love, and my feet desire to walk in these!

Price: $328

And there's the pink version too! This one has a beautiful floral lacy design instead of the bows, which really just make me think even more about lingerie. I picked this one out for fun. Just like the Anika Heel, I would have to start buying more clothes just so I could wear this one more often, because it is gorgeous!

And that's it for this time. I'm done lusting over things I can't afford for the day.
