Recent Purchases (Again!)

Coming home is seriously dangerous because it means my mom and I go on some major shopping sprees. We both have similar taste so it's fun for both of us to go out and buy some great items for a decent price. So of course when we went to the outlet mall it's was seriously a field day for us. I got asked by a few of my followers to do a blog post about my new buys so I can't refuse!

First, Saturday morning I FINALLY got Lilly Pulitzer's Jillie dress. This is now the third time I've tried to get this dress! I was so excited to see it on Re-Lilly, even though it is a size bigger than what I normally wear, it was such a great deal for only $75 that I'll just get it taken in!! So excited to wear this to a formal in the spring :)

First purchase at the outlets, J Crew chino shorts. I know so many people who love these shorts, but I had never tried them on before so therefore were scared to ever order them online during sales. Lets just say, these are the most comfortable shorts I've ever tried on! They fit perfectly and are great for tucking shirts in. This will be my first of many pairs!

These adorable Anne Taylor flats are going to be perfect for game days :) I've been searching for yellow shoes forever and I'm so happy I found some!

I fell in love with this Brooks Brothers sweater!! Same with the belt and pearl bracelet :) 

I'm obsessed with this Kate Spade bow ring :) Could a ring be any cuter?!

Now I had the most success at Gap! I got a navy/white stripped sweater, a green 3/4 sleeve sweater, a pink 3/4 sleeve cardigan, green/white floral shorts and an adorable red dress.

I got the BB belt to go with the Gap dress :) I think it's going to look adorable paired with my boots!

I swear I'm done shopping for awhile! Since school is starting soon I'll be super busy and wont have time for so much shopping... hopefully. Haha but everything I got was at least 30% off, if not 70% on some items + it was tax free weekend!

I'll try my best to do another post before moving back down to school! Until next time, stay sweet & sassy! xx

ModCloth: Cute, Unique & Vintage!

Like I have said before, I am a huge fan of ModCloth. They have cute, unique dresses for every occasion at really affordable prices! Right now they're doing a thing where if a returning member (like me!) gives a new member an "invite", the new member can get $10 off a purchase of $50 or more! I figured I'd share with all my followers plus give you a list of some of my favorite pieces!

















So again, here is an invite for you to get $10 off a purchase of $50 or more! The purchase must be made by August 15! Happy Shopping!!

Until next time, stay sweet & sassy! xx

Cowboy Boots Love

Despite the fact I've lived in Georgia my whole life, I have never owned a pair of cowboy boots. I guess all my life up until recently I have tried to surpress my southern ways, but now I am embracing it! My mom wasn't surprised when I confessed to her I wanted a pair of cowboy boots. She actually did some research and found Horsetown, which is a western store that seriously sells everything from cowboy boots to tack. Fortunately for me, all 3 locations are in Georgia, one being only 30 minutes from my house! So my mom and I drove over one day, and went boot shopping! The guy who helped us was super nice and told me all about how my boot should fit and explained to me how the leather will stretch and whatnot. Amazingly, I feel in love with the first pair I tried on. They were the right color, height, and fit perfectly on my calves. I tried on some others just to be sure, but I knew that first pair was my favorite. I left that store so happy and excited about my new boots!!



Aren't they perfect?

Until next time, stay sweet & sassy! xx

Recent Purchases

As I'm sure my blog makes pretty obvious, I love shopping. If there was a job that consisted of me getting paid to go shopping, I would be an instant professional. But unfortunately I don't know of any job that's that glamourous, and being a college student poses many limitations to treating everyday like a shopping spree, as in I don't have the funds to do so. Therefore I pretty much buy everything on sale using my rule that if I save more than I spend, I got a deal! (it's true, right?!) Ever since I've got home from my internship, I have been doing some seriously shopping in preparation for fall. Here are some of my most recently purchased goodies :)

I've had this clutch on my wish list all summer so ordering this made me so excited!! Especially since I got it for a discounted price ($29) thanks to her facebook giveaway!

I became obsessed with this Talbots flats after seeing them on Sarah Vicker's blog and got super excited when I saw them on sale for only $33.99 as opposed $109! It was such a good deal I got 2 pairs :)

This Lilly Pulitzer Callie skirt in Garden By The Sea was on sale at my local Lilly store for $42 in comparison to it's original price, $88. Could you say no to this adorable skirt? I have another skirt in this style and it's seriously my favorite!

Ok, these Merona tank tops weren't on sale, but were only $9 at Target! And I don't think you can ever have too many white tanks, and I bought the yellow to wear with my new skirt :)

It's cute, right?!?

My mom treated me to these Calvin Klein wedges (bought at Belk) for me to wear on pref night during rush next week! I'm horrible at walking in heels, but love the look of heels so these wedges are the perfect balance. Easy to walk in, super cute, and still a little height :)

I also got these 2 beauties from the Talbots sale :) Everything is an extra 75% off so be sure to check it out!

I can't wait to wear this gorgeous silk top with my pink flats and pink bubble necklace that's currently being shipped to my house :)

This jacket actually makes me excited for fall! I can't wait to pair it with a navy and white stripped shirt with my navy flats or with a colorful top and some boots :)

Speaking of boots, I also got a pair of beautiful cowboy boots that I'm obsessed with. But I want to do a different post completely dedicated to them :) So look out for it!


Until next time, stay sweet & sassy! xx
