i love target...

i think that most people would agree when i say that target is pretty much the greatest store ever.

{lately their home decor has been killing me}

i have always thought that they had cute clothes but have never really tried anything on more than once or twice in my life.

but the other day i was in urgent need of a dressy outfit and target was the most accessible store for me to find something in a hurry.

i found myself with piles of clothing in my arms, which i had not expected.

and then i was in one of those horrible positions in the dressing room where i had to decide what wasn't absolutely necessary for me to buy.

but i decided on this skirt and top.

{and another skirt that i will be showing you soon}

and i am just absolutely in love and happy with my target shopping emergency.

top: mossimo via target

skirt: mossimo via target

belt: nine west via unknown 

bag: lionel via marshalls

shoes: enzo angiolini {thrifted}

necklace: heavenly couture

bracelets: {teal} via forever21/{pink} via aeropostale 

p.s.

my mom got these two suitcases plus another smaller one that matches, all for $1 at a thrift store.

such an adorable find.

elle woods inspired...

if i were going to harvard law school, i would totally rock the pink blazers, pink heels, pink pencil skirts, etc.

and that is exactly what i like to imagine while wearing this outfit...

however, i do not go to law school and i do not have a job where i get to attend business meetings and important business lunches...

so, church will have to do!

but it's ok to dream about it...

blazer: h&m

skirt:h&m

belt: varga

shoes: enzo angiolini via nordstrom rack

clutch: francesca's

watch: michael kors via dillards

bracelets: aerospostale and jessica simpson via t.j. maxx (gold bangle)

why every fashionista should thrift shop.

 i love shoes.

love, love, love them! 

when i am low on money, i can't even go near the shoe section in certain stores because it's just too painful.

while at savers a few weeks ago, i was basically given a pair of beautiful heels.

they were so new that the original price tag from dillards was still on the bottom of the shoe.

the original price tag read $90- i got them for $10! 

boom baby.

and this is why every fashionista should hit up their local thrift shops every once in a while...

 jean jacket: aeropostale

striped tank: romy

skirt: romy

belt: unknown via designer shoe warehouse

shoes: enzo angiolini (thrifted, of course!)

necklace: rue 21

watch: michael kors via dillards

a little randomness for you.

i wanted to start this post by saying that i am so thankful for everyone's sweet comments and support for my blog.

seriously, it just makes me all giddy inside.

i love it so much.

however, somedays i just don't have much to say because my brain is fried from reading so much meaningless material in text books and literature books!

so to go easy on myself today, i thought that i would just share with you ten little random things about my life so that you can get to know me better.

and then of course, share with you my little get-up that i've got goin' on in the following pictures.

so buckle up because this is going to be craaazy!

just kidding.

although that would be fun.

ok here it goes...

1. i am a daydream-aholic.

2. i have a deep, deep love for southern california.

3. i wish that i was tough enough to teach in an inner-city school.

4. airports are probably my favorite places in the whole world.

5. i'm a nanny, and i cry every single time i think about leaving my job after this summer.

6. i desperately wish that 'the hills' was still being filmed.

7. my feelings are hurt way too easily, and i hate that.

8. someday i hope to drive a black denali (oh please, oh please, oh pleeeease!).

 9. i can't tell people 'no'; just can't do it.

10. i'm going to have all little girls and no boys (sshhh...don't tell my boyfriend/future husband)!

and that's just a lil' about me.

now on to the goods...

jacket: aeropostale

sweater shrug: maurices

dress: angel (i got it from a boutique in california)

socks(leg warmers): diy (see post below this one)

boots: buckle

scarf: unknown

headband: pink (boutique in downtown boise)

belt: forever21

take me back...

with spring on the way, i couldn't help but blog about an outfit involving shorts!

i went to forever21 a few weekends ago and bought myself a romper.

i've never had one before, but i found this one for less than 7 dollars in one of their clearance bins.

they were practically giving it to me.

it always shocks me how you can't go into any popular stores now without being bombarded with eighties styles.

i remember my sophomore year of high school, we had eighties day for homecoming week.

i went to the mall and searched every single store.

i couldn't find a single peice of clothing that looked like it was from the eighties.

But today, eighties day would just look like any other day.

this honestly is the only item i own though that fits into the eighties category.

i just can't seem to find my groove with the trend right now.

but so far, i'm liking this.

maybe i'll go back for more... 

romper: forever21

top: downeast basics

shoes: miss bisou (i think i got them at macy's, i can't remember!)

accessories: jessica simpson, aeropostale, and maurices
