janelleybeads

my most recent etsy.com discovery is this shop, janelleybeads. i love the pendant

necklaces and other creative pieces she has made. All her items range from $4.00 - $15.00

and her shipping cost is less than $2.00. This is the kind of shop I love and need when I want

to buy something new and don't want to spend a fortune. It's a guilt free purchase.

bluefly

i just love this website! it is "the ultimate hook-up for the fashion obsessed" it carries designers

from bcbg maxazria to marc by marc jacobs. not only is everything on sale all the time, but they

even have a "sale" link where it's even cheaper. you might find these items in my shopping cart.

shoe goddess

i was recently introduced to this fun boutique. it is full of funky items with mostly unique shoes.

i was drawn to the jewelry though and found this to die for necklace ($55).

I just love it's simplicity and even more, the color. yes, please!

wish i was wearing this

i wish i were wearing this outfit so i could take a picture of it all together and brag about how cute i look. unfortunately this outfit is just a covet for me to share. i love the idea of this look. my new favorite look it to put a big belt over the top of whatever you are wearing. so if you end up with a similar outfit or you have similar items in your closet, put them together and see what you think.

button up the blazer and put the belt at the empire waist (under the bust).
earrings: target $29.99

blouse: ann taylor loft $39.50

blazer: nordstrom $89.50

jeans: 7 for all mankind $178.00

belt: forever 21 $7.80

heels: gotham city online $39.96

modcolth

modcloth is a vintage style clothing shop that i can't get enough of. my favorite part about

this website is that shipping is $7 no matter how much or how little you order. i love that!

read more about modcloth and the creator's story here. happy shopping!

down east, affordable covets

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!

new york & co. = best sales

i can't always justify paying full price for most items at new york & company. luckily they have

great sale items on their website everyday. un-luckily their sizes go quickly once on sale.

regardless, right now you get free shipping if you spend $25 (promo code 1960).

you can get some great deals and it's all sent to your house for free.

their sexy clothes even come in petite and tall sizes. new york & co. is for everyone!

puffer vest: was $36.95, now $11.08

pleated boat neck tunic: was $36.95, now $14.78

ribbed knit scarf: was $19.95, now $5.99

boyfriend shirt: was $39.95, now $19.95

mid rise straight leg jeans: was $46.94, now $7.99

wish i was wearing this

it is so fun to put together outfits pretending each item is in your closet ready to put on.

this is the outfit i would have picked out for myself today, and sigh...

tank: $24.99

sweater: $19.99

pants: $39.99

shoes: $54.95

necklace: $19.60

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?

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)

favorite scarf tie

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!

opi

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

red prairie press

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 your neck

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

from whiteowl's shop on etsy.com

beautiful handmade necklace, $29.99
