This Week in Fashion, Life Update, Polyvore Contest

This week was only a 4 day work week so I spent Monday in my pajamas reading fashion magazines and watching TV, wooohooo!  Monday I was inspired by the Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 collection, this look in particular, because of the colors! My outfits were a bit boring this week...I was just sooo tired, ha ha.  I promise I'll do better next week ;) And ignore my faces...it was sunny.

Tuesday: Dress as Skirt: Marc by Marc Jacobs (eBay) $28, Sweater: American Eagle $?, Heels: Tahari $24

Wednesday: Jeans: American Eagle, Tee: Threadless $0, Sweater: MICHAEL Michael Kors $10, Booties: No.704b. $20
Thursday: Pants: Glo $?, Top: Urban Outfitters $8.50, Cardigan: American Eagle: $0, Pumps: Candie's $12

Friday: Dress: McQ by Alexander McQueen gift, Sweater: Hollister $15, Wedges: R2 $35
Also here's a shopping and life update. I would have posted these earlier but I wanted to get through all the fashion week stuff, haha. Last weekend I spent part of Saturday organizing my newly revamped closet. My Mom built some shelves for me since what i had was not working for me...so now I have tons of room! YAY for awesome Moms, am I right? Click the photos below for larger versions.
I also did a bit of shopping, on Saturday I bought some makeup and candy at CVS for $10! Then on Sunday my Mom and I went to Burlington Coat Factory and Marshall's. I bought a cream Michael Kors sweater that I wore on Wednesday (normally $100) for $9.98 and some Oscarde la Renta sunglasses, also $9.98...SCORE!!!
Finally, check out this Polyvore contest!  They have partnered with American Eagle asking users to create their best Spring Break looks, 4 winning sets will be selected from all of the Mini Editor submissions and that readers will win a $250-$500 American Eagle gift card or a $1000 cash gift card.  You can submit as many entries as you like using the Mini Editor below, good luck! The contest runs through March 5th, make sure to read the Official Rules. So get creating!

AND I have something pretty exciting/amazing coming up next month that I can't wait to share with you!  I am pretty much dying in anticipation (nervous...excited...scared...pretty much every emotion).

  2. Nice closet!

    Reading your blog makes me feel like America is this country where you just walk into a store and find designer clothes for $10... by contrast, today I was in a second-hand shop, and they had second-hand See by Chloe jeans for £40, which is like $60, which is pretty much ridiculous...
