I may have purchased all of the following in the Kate Spade 25% off sale this past weekend: eep.

new buys

I went a little online shopping crazy this week, but I got some awesome neutrals. I'm really bad about only buying bright colors and having no neutral pieces to tone the looks down. But I mean, how could anyone pick a brown sweater over a hot pink sweater? Maybe that's just me. Anyway, new buys:
J. Crew toothpick jeans in grey: J. Crew driving mocs in gold:

J. Crew buffalo check boy shirt:Madewell romance blouse:Madewell corded sketch tank:Madewell cambridge cardi:Madewell voyage blazer:

I guess I was in the mood to give J. Crew Group, Inc. a lot of business.

new buys!

Here's a look at some of the new stuff I picked up this week.
Newport News ruffle pump:
Please excuse my bruise. And yes, they are total Louboutin copies, but I don't mind going the cheap route once in a while.Giraffe print sheets:

I bought these on a total whim and I'm still undecided how I feel about them. They're ridiculous but I haven't decided if they are ridiculous good or ridiculous bad.

Oh well, they weren't expensive, they're soft, and they hide self tanner smears pretty well. (just kidding... kind of)

Did you buy anything fun this week?

sensational stuff I got this week

new beauty:Too Faced bronzer and two Philosophy shower gel/bubble bath/shampoos (I love the fact that my new apartment has two bed and baths so I can say, "O, I need extra for the guest bath." When in actuality I just want more for me.)

This adorable dress from my friend Kellie's shop, Material:This BCBG dress from Saks that I am considering as a bridesmaid dress:

and the sad news of the week:I ordered this adorable dress from ModCloth in a small and was very content until I received an email that said, "Unfortunately, due to an error in our inventory count, we are sold out of the Brighton Beach Dress you ordered and will not be able to fulfill your order. I have refunded you in FULL."

So sad right? I suppose it was a sign to stop spending so much money on summer dresses, no?

happy weekend!
