holy Horchow!

 

Everyone’s favorite purveyor of home deliciousness is having a huge sale right now.  Like today only.

And since I’m a brand new homeowner (woohoo) I really want to order EVERYTHING for my future abode.  Here are the items I’m obsessing with at the moment.

The “twinkle” bed~

Yep, that’s really the name of it.  This was one of the items I figured future hubby would hate, but actually quite the opposite happened. He really likes it, yay for me!

“Palazzo vintage” vanity accessories~

This set is just uber girly and it has the word “vintage” in it.  When I see the word vintage, it’s like a moth to a flame, so just step out of the way people.

Janice Minor “porcupine quill” mirror~

A long time ago I fell in love with a porcupine necklace at an art show.  I loved the danger of the necklace — if I sat down while wearing it I would run the risk of puncturing a major organ.  Awesome, right?  Here is the necklace if you missed it.

This mirror is just like that necklace only better.  The only problem is future hubby REALLY doesn’t like it.  I can’t imagine why…


Valentine’s wish list~

Ooooh Valentine’s Day…

A holiday when single people are forced to feel bad about themselves, and when people in a relationship are forced to spend money on each other.  What a groovy holiday!

In that spirit, my wish list is relatively inexpensive.  I’m craving bold color blocked items for under $150.  I guess I’m a cheap date this year!

Anthropologie ‘Field of Vision’ skirt
Madewell striped tee
Happy Valentine’s Day dolls!  To celebrate I’ll be listen to Robert Palmer all day long….

my cheap thrill – chain boots

Hello Chanel bootie - I think I love you.

This beautiful boot is fashion perfection.  It may have a simple design with soft buttery leather and chain detail, but it screams classic Chanel.  It’s a bit out of my price range but I think I found an alternative.

Kate Spade ‘Kirkland’ booties – $309

They may not have a wedge, but these booties feature the same chain detail that made the Chanel pair so special.  And we all know I’m a sucker for a bow.

What do you dolls think?


Love Fury

 

I was so excited when Nine West sent me a bottle of their first fragrance, Love Fury.  They describe it as a “mix of luscious fruits and decadent florals, blended with the warmth of seductively addictive woods”.

But before I get to what’s inside let’s look at the outside…

Very sexy.

I absolutely LOVE the bottle and how they incorporated the heel of a black stiletto.  Even better, I must mention the high heels that go with the perfume.

These simple black satin heels are excellently paired with this fragrance.  And they are very comfy – seriously!

The fragrance has a pleasing floral top note with a musky finish.  Overall it’s a lovely scent but a bit on the light side so I’d recommend spaying a little extra.

Love Fury goes on sale TODAY at NineWest.com!


anthropologie opening

Unfortunately, my hometown of Oklahoma City isn’t exactly the shopping capital of the world.  Don’t get me wrong there are some AMAZING stores that I love to frequent but overall until we get a Nemains or Barneys we will always feel like a small town.

BUT…

Something recently happened that made the ladies of OKC rejoice.  Anthropologie opened its doors here and the fashion flood gates opened!  I didn’t get to make it but if I had this dress would be MINE.

Minutiae Dropwaist Dress


I need this dress and after I add my favorite pair of Miu Miu heels, I’ll officially be in polka dot heaven.  Or do you think it would be fashion overkill?

 Another polka dot find I must have is this fun oversized clutch.  With the dimensions being 8.5 x 12.5 this bag will fit everything and could even be used as an iPad case!

At only $68 it’s a great buy.

Alloy Pin-Dot Pouch

These shoes have chunky heels and a platform, so you know they will be comfy.  And best of all the color goes with everything!  Unfortunately the online store only has sizes 5, 5.5, 9, 9.5 so check locations in your area to see if they are available. 

Happy shopping.

 



nude beach

 

Even though it's 40 degrees outside, I'm pondering spring.  My fiancé and I (oh that's fun to say) are off to Mexico in a couple weeks and I'm dreaming of the perfect sandal.  Nude sandals are the best – they go with everything!  

Here are a few pairs that I have my eye on…
