fall frenzy

I love sweaters. I think my love for sweaters is unhealthy. Seriously. But I love them. Cardigans. Pullovers. Hoodies. Vests. Wraps. Chunky. Thin. Anything. I love sweaters. Everyone looks good in a sweater. And thankfully, summer is over, and I can start wearing sweaters again. But sweaters are not the only amazing thing about fall. Tights. Yes. I can go two seasons without shaving my legs and still looking fantastic in skirts and dresses. Yum. I also love the colors of fall. Deep blues. Oranges. Tan. Grey. Rich purples. Yellows. Reds. Black. Green. I might only wear blue, grey, black and tan, but I still love looking at the colors of fall.

So, cue fantasy fall shopping.

sweater and headband

tunic and boots

cardigan and shirt

images from toast and j.crew

If I had to sum fall up in one word, it would be easy: COZY.

special thanks to leslie for sharing her love for fall and her sweater covets!

csn stores review

2010-09-02T09:22:00.000-07:00

before i took the time to write my review, i wanted the full csn stores experience.

now that i have had it, here i go.

after being approached by the great people at csn about doing a review, i went right on their site to find exactly what i wanted. i would compare this site to others like overstock.com. it has a little of everything. i browsed their site adding many things to my cart, but holding back to just get one great thing (my budget would allow) for the time being and to test out the experience.

i found the item i wanted and discovered that it was out of stock. to my excitement, they had the choice of emailing me when it was again available, i was so excited i signed right up. i also emailed the company hoping they could tell me when it would be back in stock. i wasn't expecting anything because i had done this sort of thing before and stores always told me they don't have any idea when an item will be re-stocked. to my great surprise i received an email back within a couple hours telling me when they assumed it would be back. i was thrilled to get any date at all.

a week or so later, i received another email from csn with a coupon code for my next order as an apology that my item wasn't in yet. wow! what great customer service. i thought that was a great way to keep the customer happy and i had never seen anything like it.

when the assuming date arrived, i looked online and the item wasn't in still, but it was just 3 days later. that's good enough for me. i got the email telling me it was available and i went right on and bought it. the purchasing part was just as easy as everything else and they accept paypal, wahoo!

i went with the most basic shipping because i tend to like to save the money. though it was still a little pricey for my liking, i received my item in about a week.

overall, i was very satisfied with my transaction and with csn stores. i will be shopping there again.

nail polish lovin'

2010-08-10T10:27:00.000-07:00

i have recently found a nail polish that i am so thrilled about. i have tried so many brands

and was addicted to opi for a long time, until now. not only is this polish cheap ($5/bottle),

but it actually stays on, has less chipping incidents and is thick enough you only need one coat.

the brand is ulta. you may or may not have heard of their stores

(click here to find a store near you). you can purchase their brand of polish in the store or online.

did i mention it's only $5 a bottle? to check out some of the colors visit ulta's website. they recently

had a buy one get one free sale (which happens pretty often) so watch for it again and

get two bottles for $5, such a great deal!! happy nail polish shopping.

2010-08-06T08:00:00.000-07:00

Hi, I'm Helena. And I write Life in the Pitts.

I love shopping sprees. But my husband isn't a fan of what that does to our

checking account. So I found a new way to get my fix.

I shop online. I go from site to site and fill up shopping carts with awesome

deals and expensive clothes.

And then? I close the window, and walk away.

It's therapeutic.

You should give it a try.

Here are some of the items that I didn't buy today.

Celebrate Your Youth Romper, $68.99

Great Divide Skirt, $119.99

Bathing Suit One Piece in Emmy, $8.99

Hall Of Fame skirt, $63.99

Pierside Shorts, $34.99

Art Opening Skirt $49.99

Patchwork Garden Dress, $57.99

The Parador Skirt, $64.99

The Glamour of Glitter dress, $64.99

Subtotal: $615.91

Taxes: A really big number

Shipping: I don't even want to think about it

Grand Total: $0.00

And yet, it is was very, very satisfying.

special thanks to helena for sharing her creative way of shopping and fun covets.

pine meadow giveaway!!

2010-08-02T00:00:00.000-07:00

i recently ordered some baby beanies from this etsy site and it was a very pleasant experience.

it started when i went to etsy's home page and typed in "baby beanies. pine meadow came up as one of the least expensive options. of course i clicked it and it took me to her site full of hats. i loved them,

but didn't see the color i wanted. i clicked on "contact seller" to find out if she would custom make some beanies for me. she emailed back that same day with enthusiasm to make whatever i had in mind.

we emailed back and forth until i finally could make a decision on what i wanted. she had so many options, i couldn't decide. within a couple days, my order was completed and shipped.

within a couple more days, my beautiful hats arrived and i love them!

i got two hats, custom made for $13.50 (this price includes shipping). what an awesome deal!! homemade, custom made, beautiful hats. i could not have asked for a better transaction.

so getting to the point, this amazing seller has so graciously accepted my offer to do a giveaway. if you haven't noticed, this is my first post for little ones. you will be seeing more of these, but i will try to keep them to a minimum. if you are a mommy, i know you have covets for your kiddies. i am not a mommy yet, but will be soon and i find myself shopping for my future babes now more than myself.

hey, a giveaway is a giveaway and that means free stuff!

if you win this giveaway, you will get one of these adorable beanies

(your choice of blue, pink or white).

here is how to enter...

bogo blues

2010-04-12T09:57:00.000-07:00

i went to payless to take advantage of the bogo sale and ended up falling in love with 3 pairs of shoes. my realistic significant other said i could only get 2. i think bogo should be buy 2 pairs get the 3rd free. who goes into payless and only finds one or two pairs of shoes? i really should have just found a fourth pair and then i could have justified getting the bogo for the 2nd pair of both sets. anyway. i fell in love with these and they are the ones i sadly left behind. now i just look at them online daily pretending they are mine and hoping they go on sale so i can get them soon.

eliza magazine

2010-02-19T08:03:00.000-08:00

out of every magazine i have ever purchased, whether in a grocery store checkout line, from an airport, from a homeless person on the street or through the mail, this is by far the best out there. why?? it does not include any trashy reading. the stories are worth reading and the fashion is worth following. i have put together some of my favorite outfits based on this mag. they have quarterly issues and a year subscription is only $15.97. it is the only magazine i subscribe to on a regular basis and the one i look forward to getting in the mail. thanks eliza for a clean, classy, fun magazine. check out their blog and decide for yourself if this magazine is for you.

dress covet

2010-02-18T08:13:00.000-08:00

i have always coveted the dresses from shabby apple. i find myself looking at them often in hopes

i could pull off the look. i search the web for coordinating jewelry and shoes and find when i am finished putting my outfit together, there is no way it is affordable. i just love their line of modest, classy dresses that can be worn at any occasion; work, wedding, party, etc.

i love the flirty green dress, simple with a twist of fun. i love the animal print dress with the style of the upper, white half. and of course, everyone needs a little black dress and i say yes please to this one with the big collar. now i just need some sexy heels and i am set.

down east, affordable covets

2010-02-17T09:39:00.001-08:00

i am a huge fan of down east basics and the great line of simple, elegant, classy clothing they offer.

i can't complain about the price either, everything is always affordable whether it's at regular

priced item or on sale. they are also the best place to shop when you need tees or camis for layering.

i also can't get enough of their elegant jewelry. the necklaces above are beautiful and within

any one's price range, from $8.99 to $14.99, wow!

wahoo for dsw!!

2010-02-16T00:00:00.000-08:00

vintage fringe - navy style

2010-02-08T07:06:00.000-08:00

this is my recently discovered website that has a plethora of different vintage style clothing.

"Our purpose is to help our customers find high quality, feminine fashion, made of the best

fabrics with a focus on eclectic, unique items with a little flair of fringe!

Much of our clothing has a 'vintage look', but all of our merchandise is brand new."

while looking at the site, i found i was drawn to the blue tops. the prices are a little

out of my range so these items are covets and will remain so.

cotton bamboo cardigan: $128

caitlin long sleeve button hoodie: $100

miley striped cardigan: $145

get ready, set, go

2010-02-04T11:08:00.000-08:00

i travel a lot because my family is 1,700 miles away. when doing so, i wear the most comfortable clothes possible and grab whatever bag is in my closet without a ripped zipper. i plan to one day travel in style and when that day comes, you will see me with one of these adorable bags.

almost stark white vintage small suitcase: sold, bummer

olive green vintage train case: $79.95

mustard yellow vintage train case: $74.95

blue green vintage carry on tote luggage bag: $82.50

crafting covet

2010-02-02T08:39:00.001-08:00

crafts are one of those things i can't do to save my life. i have attempted, but before i

even start a project i know i am doomed to failure. so crafty items are left for me

to covet because there is no way i can make them myself. i have a very crafty friend

who can throw a bunch of garbage together and it looks good, i am sure it would smell good,

too. she has a blog to share her ideas and directions. these are a few of her crafts that i covet;

valentine's decor, magnet board, checker board

and the winner is...

2010-02-02T05:55:00.000-08:00

i had to order new checks today and decided to upgrade from the cheapies and get some that are easier on the eyes. after i put my order through, i decided i needed a cuter check book holder to put my attractive checks into. i found this one, again on etsy. then looking at the other seller's items, i found a few things to covet though they are all affordable! check out get felt up.

earrings: $12

wallet: $20

would you like a side of rain with that?

2010-01-28T07:49:00.000-08:00

although i am too chicken to buy a funky umbrella, i tend to stick to solid colors, i do love a cute
umbrella. i find myself in awe when i see umbrellas roaming down the street on a rainy day. i decided to step out of my comfort zone and look for a more exciting umbrella and this is what i came across.
black floral umbrella at aspinal of london: $245

(this one will remain a covet, i hope no person in their right mind pays $245 for an umbrella)

covet giveaway

2010-01-25T12:00:00.000-08:00

who doesn't love a give-a-way???

bold minimalist is one of my favorite places to shop on etsy. they now have a new collection of earrings and they have quickly become my newest covet. i want them to be yours and i will wear them vicariously through you. my favorite color is the teal green so that is the color i chose for you.

you can enter your name up to two times by doing one or both of these...

* blog about classy covet and this give-a-way

* share classy covet on your facebook page

once you have done one or both, leave a comment with your blog address and/or facebook page name. the winner will be randomly chosen after the close of the give-a-way at midnight on February 1st.

favorite scarf tie

2010-01-25T00:00:00.000-08:00

i have recently learned how to tie a scarf in a funky way that i can't get enough of. i wanted to share it in case you are sick of the same old rap around the neck or pull through the folded in half scarf. it's simple and fun. notice the awesome scarf from red prairie press, love it!

guest coveter: true religion

2010-01-22T11:04:00.000-08:00

i am so excited to feature my first guest coveter.

these jeans are both from true religion, a place i am sure we can all find ourselves coveting.

they don't always fit into our budgets, which is why they are such a great covet.

skinny jeans $319, flare jeans $216

thanks n from pittsburgh for sharing your covet!

opi

2010-01-22T06:42:00.000-08:00

this is the best nail polish ever made! when getting a mani or pedi, i always choose an OPI color.

when i am paying for it, i often wonder why i didn't save the money and just buy a new bottle for myself that i could use over and over. if you wonder the same thing, just treat yourself

to an at home manicure with your own new bottle of OPI nail polish.
my recent, favorite color, "You Don't Know Jacques!"
amazon is the website i have found that sells OPI at the most reasonable price.
you can get one bottle as low as $5

bootie dilemma

2010-01-21T06:46:00.000-08:00

i absolutely love ankle boots. my dilemma, what to wear them with??

a skirt? leggings? skinny jeans?

what would you wear these amazing booties with?

steve madden makes the best boots! these are on sale for $75, normally $150, yum!

and for a limited time, they have free shipping. enter promo code: SMFREESHIP

red prairie press

2010-01-20T06:42:00.000-08:00

one of my best finds are these scarves from red prairie press.

i absolutely love the look and love the price and the colors and just everything about them!

each scarf is only $18

covet for the wrong time of year

2010-01-18T07:19:00.000-08:00

swim wear already? really?

target thinks its time to bring out the suits and why not when they are this cute?!!!
this swimsuit is only $17.99. i haven't bought a suit that cheap, maybe ever.

h&m

2010-01-16T10:12:00.000-08:00

my all time favorite store. it's bitter sweet that they don't have online shopping. bitter, because you can't buy from them anytime you want. sweet, because the whole world doesn't have access to their clothes and you can fill unique when wearing a new purchase. they do have a website though and a fashion studio where you can put together outfits. its fun and entertaining if you need something to do. enjoy

follow them on facebook

covet for your neck

2010-01-15T07:04:00.000-08:00

if you put neck and lace together, what do you get??

from whiteowl's shop on etsy.com

beautiful handmade necklace, $29.99

two cutes to covet

2010-01-10T07:00:00.000-08:00

* socks: i am a sucker for cute socks.

i can't get enough of them and i melt when i see them in stores.

gap is where i fall in love with my favorite foot accessory. unfortunately they are a little more than i like to spend and that is when the waiting game for a sock sale starts.
this pair is $7.50 at gap

* tank: found this tank online then found it at the outlet, wahoo!

they were so cheap I bought 2. i cut the leaves off the yellow tank and inserted them into the leaves of the grey tank. too cute!

covet for a work day

2010-01-03T11:11:00.000-08:00

banana republic is one of those places i like shopping, but i don't purchase, why?

i came across this "flannel grey military jacket" and fell in love.

online, on sale, of course wrong size.

still in love, none the less.

winter must haves

2010-01-01T06:04:00.000-08:00

* hat: ebay has a plethora of vintage hats, but this is the one that caught my eye.

isn't she a beaut?
only $6.99 (as of now) gotta love ebay shopping!

* boots: i always need new boots. this time i don't want bulky, snow boots.
these rocket dog "black stormy" boots are too cute to pass up!
piperlime has them for $54.99 with free shipping and free returns

* jacket: like boots, you can always use a new jacket.
i love patterned fabric, especially black and white to be worn with anything.
forever 21 is one of those places you really have to search when finding something to fall in love with and this jacket was my latest find filled with love. $48
