Friday, June 29, 2012
You guys...I don't know what happened but it appears I took a bit of an accidental hiatus from blogging since my last wedding post on Monday!!
I have been so exhausted and run down this week that I haven't had the will or energy to sit down and blog!
Does that ever happen to you?
I have a big weejend (wedding stuff Saturday and Magic Mike tonight!) but come on back by Monday! I hope to be able to get some photos of my current favorite dress to share with you!
Until then...I leave you with this...
The cutest and most fantastic set of nail polish!
Talk to you soon!
Random Wednesday - Best Birthday Goodies EVER!
Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Hey lovelies!
Hopefully you are ready to have a little look-see at my birthday goodies that I picked up on Saturday while shopping at a local antique mall.
I tried to get all fancy like and make them into collages so it was less scattered since there are a bunch of photos!
The name of the AMAZING antique mall is - Southern Crossing Antique Mall - and it is the best place ever. Well in Jacksonville. My lovely friend Leda and I went there for the first time a month or so ago and I decided it was the "must visit" place for my birthday. Now the fiance hates shopping and hates shopping for antiques or thrifting more than anything. (Lord help me I wish I could change this but it's unlikely) But he took off the day from work for my birthday and was sweet enough to trek through the expansive square footage with me.
It's a neat place because people rent spaces of the store which are called "booths" even though there isn't any actual booths or names of people who the area belongs to. Each item is simply labeled and marked with a price and a booth number. When you check out each item is accounted for and the booth owner gets credit for the sale. Crazy and so easy. It's nice because with different vendors the pricing is so all over the place so you can find outstanding deals!
We were there for almost 2 hours...
So without further ado...
You guys...these are coasters!!! For $7.50 these had to come home with us.
The fiance bought this for me : ) An army green vintage GE radio...and it works!
$22.50
This is by far my favorite find...by far. I've been looking around online for a similar vanity mirror but this is the best of the best in my book. I saw this gorgeous aqua purse like object and when I picked it up...and opened the lock...I couldn't believe my eyes. You guys it even had the original warranty included. Mirror Go Lightly...and it works!! I've used it every day since and I love it!!
And the price...(I squealed when I found this)
$12.95
I've been looking for something to hold my ring. I bought a little ring holder from Fab and it was awful. My ring hung from the bottom of and hit the counter! When I saw this...it was love at first sight. I knew it would be perfect. Plus it makes me smile every time I life it's little lid to get my ring.
$2.95 (can you believe that price?)
Now these little babies I nabbed because they were so interesting. The scenes are on mirrors and they are so small. I can't wait to hang these. Each mirror has the Tavern Series info on the back with the info about the building etched on the mirror.
$7.00 for all four
And last but not least.
- This wilted daisy is so pretty. It has this odd iridescent look to it so it's sparkles but the colors are somewhat dull at the same time. Love.
- And the jars...I can't even wait to tell you the cost of them...
These are Avon Townhouse canisters circa 1989 and they were one of the many incentives for the Avon reps they aren't items that were sold. I am missing the Confections jar but I do have the other three! Team Room, Coffee House, and Bakery. They are so friggin' adorable.
Daisy - $2.00
Jars - $2.00 per canister. Two freaking dollars for each!!!
Long story short...I should take photos of the actual mall next time I go to share all the fabulous with you.
And I cordially invite you to come and visit me in Jacksonville, FL so we can scour the tight and jam packed nooks and crannies of the best antique mall in Jacksonville.
Talk to you soon!
What I Wore - *Hunger Games vs. Hello Kitty*
Monday, June 18, 2012
Hey everyone!
How was your weekend?
Just an update on me seeing Snow White and the Huntsmen. Well long story short, we didn't see it this weekend, like I had mentioned was the plan last week. But that was my fault because I was super lazy Sunday!
So this is the "norm" outfit post. All of the photos were taken by my mom during my birthday celebration on Saturday. But you can still see what I wore.
If you saw my "what I want" birthday goodies from Friday then I wanted to let you know I did buy one of the items! It was the Nook cover...I just had to have it and it since it was the only thing I could get without ordering it online it's what I went with. Okay so I could have bought the nail polish but it didn't seem birthday present-ish enough. :)
Also, let me explain the title of the post, the fiance bought a bunch of birthday decor in Hunger Games theme and my mom had a bunch of Hello Kitty tableware she was going to use so...they were combined to make a very unique birthday theme!
Here are some photos from my big 2-8!
Mimosa in hand!
The balloons were supposed to signify the fire portion of "Girl on Fire"
Red velvet and ice cream!
For Father's Day I bought my step-dad John Mayer's new CD so he was showing it off :)
Please try not to pay attention to the naked-esque painting in the background of a lot of these photos...
Cheers!!
Wears Head to Toe -
Dress - Tulle
Shoes - UrbanOG
Cardigan - Target
And you can't actually see my earrings!
I will share some of the other festivities of the day on Wednesday. You guys...I can't even put into words how great my shopping adventures were for my birthday.
So stop back by on Wednesday for Part 2 of my birthday!
Talk to you soon,
It's My Birthday and I'll Online Shop if I Want To!
Saturday, June 16, 2012
Hey hey party people! :)
Thanks for those of you who popped in and read my mini-post yesterday and thanks again to the people stopping by during your weekend to e-celebrate my birthday with me!
I'll be spending the day with the fiance who took the day off work. Our plans aren't set in stone so it'll be a play-it-by-ear birthday extravaganza. But we do know for sure we'll be scooting on down to my parents place this evening to have dinner and cake...red velvet cake. Yum.
So if you know me...you know I LOVE to shop online. Slightly addicted...but don't judge me...because it's my birthday.
So today I want to share things...that...I...want.
Yep...nothing that may appeal to other people just "gimme gimme gimme that" items on my list.
PS - I am 28 today officially at 9:10 pm.
I want this shirt so bad!!! "I'll bury you"...love it. BUT I can't bring myself to spend 20 bucks on it.
This dress - Polka dots...that's all I have to say about that.
These shoes...in every color...you guys they are 28 bucks.
The New York City Ballet collection of polishes from OPI...so so pretty and feminine. It's the closet I'll ever be to a ballerina!
Last but not least...this pretty perfect Nook Tablet cover...while I love my current cover I can't help but want to switch it up for this little intergalactic gem.
That's it! I hope you enjoyed coming along with me on my little window shopping birthday spree!
I will talk to you soon and thanks again for stopping in today :)
Friday Finds - Not Really Though...
Friday, June 15, 2012
I've decided to put off the finds until tomorrow and make it a Birthday Finds list...technically I could do that today but I'd rather have it on the actual DAY of my birthday :)
So not much to see here...just a little note to come by tomorrow and celebrate with me!
Talk to you soon!
