All American Look

Ok, so I got my Sam Edelman Faye Clogs from TjMaxx (at the price of only $40!). So I was trying to think of a good way to style them. I've been seeing a lot of cute American Eagle things posted on other blogs and they're really following trends well this year. So here's my All American (Eagle) Look using my Sam Edelman shoes and fall's hottest looks as inspiration.

Norma Kamali for Walmart

So Norma Kamali has been doing the Walmart thing for a while now and I always see her stuff in the stores and think "cute". But her latest items available are really...well no one would guess you got it at Walmart. Here's some of my favorite things from the collection.

Women's Jersey Long-Sleeve Wrap Dress

$20

Women's Stripe Hoodie Tee

$10

Women's Organic Cotton Graphic Tunic Tee

$8

Women's Trench Coat

$35

Women's Motorcycle Jacket

$24

Women's French Terry Pea Jacket

$20

Women's Batwing Cardigan

$15

For a grand total of less than $150 you can have all these! Not bad.

I'd love to see all these in person, so i think I'll go look around a couple of Walmarts. Anyone seen these? Made a purchase?

Handbag Heaven

I seen a post about HandbagHeaven.com on MissChievous's YouTube channel not too long ago and I'm really liking some of their bags. However, I'm always iffy on cheap bags and usually just pick up better bags at discount prices, on clearance or Tj Maxx stores. So I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with this website and if so...what are your thoughts on their products?

Here's some of my favorite styles- all under $50!

Clogs!

Sam Edelman "Faye"

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in quite a while...almost a year! But I am really excited about fall fashions and thought I'd try to pick my blog back up to talk about it. I'm thinking about making some videos on YouTube also, but I'm not sure if anyone will watch...we'll see!

Ok so I've seen clogs around for a little while now and I'm not a clog fan. When I was in the seventh grade I found a pair of bright pink patent leather clogs and for some reason thought they were just amazing haha! I have no idea what I was thinking, but it was the age of the Spice Girls so I'm sure that's what happened...

Anyways I was in TJ Maxx the other day and found these clogs I really liked by Sam Edelman for only $40! I tried them on and they felt amazing, felt like I wasn't even wearing a shoe! I love them and I hope they're still there when I go back but if they're not, I googled them and found them on several online sites like Zappos and Nordstroms. The problem is they average $150 everywhere else! Ugh, I want these shoes!

What do you guys think of the clog trend? Love it or Hate it?

Recent Buys

I picked up the NYX palette for green eyes along with the blue eyes palette which was a gift for someone. I found a seller on ebay who sells these palettes 2 for $12.99 with shipping at only $2.94. She ships so fast! I got my eyeshadows in 2 days from California to Alabama. She wrapped everything so well and had the cutest invoice/thank you included with her logo on it. Her ebay name is Joy017 and the store is JOY'S cosmetics. I definitely will buy my NYX stuff from her in the future. O and the palette is so pretty. All the colors are perfect for my eyes and they go on so smooth. Some of them do have a lot of fall out but no big deal to just sweep away. 

I hate going to Walmart and last time I went to try and find the Hard Candy cosmetics- they weren't in stock yet. I thought they still hadn't stocked them until I finally found them squeezed between two other displays in an aisle. Everything looked pretty nice but this is what I really wanted so it's the only thing I picked up. Their lipstick is called Painted Lady if I'm not mistaken and this is a nude color in Fire Alarm. I don't really get the name but the color is so pretty. A perfect nude. The lipstick goes on really smooth and doesn't feel dry. As far as staying on, it's not horrible but I don't mind reapplying. Also, I love the tube itself. Really cute.

If anyone has a PS3 they must sign up for Netflix. As soon as I heard about Netflix coming to PS3 I signed up. I not only get 2 movies out at anytime, movies to watch on the computer, but also with this disk I can watch the instant movies on my tv. A lot of people were upset at the idea that it is disk based. This means every time I want to watch the movies I must insert this disk. To me, no big deal- I would have to put in a disk to watch a movie anyways. The only thing that bugs me is that I do believe they have the technology to just send us an update and make it where we don't need the disk. I know Xbox does it like this. Maybe they have an exclusive deal though. Like Apple and AT&T...

I picked up these Juicy Couture earrings for only $25 at TjMaxx! I really like them because they snap on securely and are just so cute! 

Anyone into body washes (i.e. the whole female population) should check out Suave's limited edition seasonal body washes. I picked this up at Walmart for $1.50! And it smells amazing! I got the Peppermint Bliss one and am going to go back and get more of this and the others. Great buy. The other scents include-Toasted Vanilla Sugar, Candied Apple(this is the only one that didn't stand out to me, and I love apple scents), and Holiday Pear but I didn't see or smell this one. 

Sometimes I like to go over to SlickDeals.net and see what the deals are. Well I stumbled over there not too long ago and found these business cards on sale at OfficeDepot.com for only $3.71! I have no need for business cards but between the price and the cute design I had to order some! You like? 

Iron Fist Shoes: Halloween Ideas

I ran across this brand of shoes I never heard of before called Iron Fist (they make clothes also). I can't believe the designs...or the prices! These would be perfect for Halloween!

Going as Dorothy?These are perfect for the land of Oz! And the heels are striped black and white! <3

Hottopic.com $32.99

Zombie Shoes!Omg these are amazing! Journeys.com $39.99

Not a heels type of Girl?

I don't know where these are from but I'll do some more googling and update if I find them. I love the bows on the side!

Just A Cheap Shirt

I wanted to show you all my Miley shirt! I've really been enjoying it, it's really comfy and casual. A good $12 spent. My boyfriend washed it for me on accident and I'm not sure if he used hot water or what but I got some black bleeding around the cuff of one sleeve. Luckily you can't see it when I'm wearing it though. O and my brother asked me if I was pregnant while wearing it... haha!  I stumbled across this shirt at Bluefly.com for $60, so anyone interested in a higher quality version could look here. The name of it is Just A Cheap Shirt yellow plaid flannel western shirtdress...

Drugstore.com Haul

I decided to try this Philosophy On A Clear Day kit($65 on Drugstore.com) even though the reviews everywhere are iffy. I wanted to try it because I'm tired of benzoyl peroxide which makes my skin dry and flaky and has made all my washcloths, towels, and pillowcases look like I went on a bleach spree.  I used it today and even though it smells really really bad, it made my skin feel really good. Hopefully this is a good sign. They included a four pack of the microdelivery peel and I LOVED it. My skin actually felt plumper if this makes any sense. And so soft!

(from left to right) Oil-free Foaming Acne Cleanser, Oil-free All Over Acne Treatment, Oil-free Acne Spot Treatment, Retinol Clarifying Lotion( retinol makes me nervous :s)I haven't used these since they first came out , I was early teens and didn't even have blackheads! I can't wait to see how they do now.These sheets are small so you might need several but they do suck up the oil and make skin matte! I got this for headaches but as an added bonus it helps relieve eye puffiness! Just pop it in the freezer to chill.

Amazing Deal!

I was looking around for some cheap flats and having found my favorite pairs for cheap at Target last year I decided to check out the website. I found these great looking flats for $12.99! They have several colors and designs and at this price you can have a pair of each! Plus, all the flats have rave reviews from the customers that bought them. Check them out at Target.com.

7 Things

Kae over at The Hungry Asian did a 7 things tag on her blog and said if anyone wanted to do one that she chose purple. I had to do it since I love the color purple and thought it looked like fun! Here's what's in the pic-

• My purse
• My phone and phone sock
• My psp
• Chi nail polish in Passionate For My Work
• My flat iron
• A pair of socks
• A scarf from the Miley Cyrus & Max Azria collection at Walmart- this was only six dollars but is really nice. I also picked up one of the plaid tunics in yellow. I found a Walmart with several of the tunics in a bunch of colors. I really like the shirt and will take a picture when I get a chance. If I go back and they still have more I plan on buying a bunch up! Here's a pic in case you've yet to see the shirt-

Cardi Coats for $20

Old Navy is having a sale on cardi coats this week and after seeing the commercial a million and one times I decided to go see what they had. I looked on the website first and picked out a purple/maroon one. When I got there that color wasn't in my size so I ended up gettingone in gray. I have to say these are really a deal at $20- they were orginally around $44. They look exactly like they do on the website and are so thick and comfy! I can't wait for cold weather so I can start wearing mine. I got this one in gray. I really loved this color but I didn't want to get one too big. $20The sleeves on this one kinda freak me out but I love everything else about it. $20 Here's a shorter version but I seen this style in a long version also. Plus there's several colors to choose from in all the styles. $20I didn't see this one at my store but I really like this one. It's a little more expensive but still cheap at $29.50.

Spotted: Gossip Girl Making It's Way To Target

Gossip Girl fans want to look like the Queen B? Fret no more! Anna Sui has come to your rescue and made affordable versions of the o so stylish cast of Gossip Girl! Her inspiration came from being in Asia last year and all the young girls kept asking her about places in New York where the "Gossip Girls" lived. 

Here's the collection from Blair to Vanessa. I find it hard to imagine wearing some of these in public. But for the brave, they'll be worth a try! I'll definitely be stopping by my local Target to see if they are carrying the collection. It'll be in stores and online from September 13th to October 17th.
