jewel mint surprise gift bag!

When I saw that JewelMint was having a surprise gift bag special,

I couldn't wait to test my luck!

I got two pieces, and one of them just happened to be the piece that I was hoping for!!

The aqua bomb ring!

If you haven't checked out JewelMint, by Kate Bosworth & her stylist, Cher,

you should probably give it a try!

I first found out about it at my summer internship at Bollare,

since they represent the brand.

It's like ShoeDazzle (and sites like that) where you take a style quiz and each month they have new styles waiting in your online showroom!

The over-arching company, BeachMint, also has brands such as 

StyleMint by Mary-Kate & Ashley & BeautyMint by Jessica Simpson.

last chance looksies

Olivia & I decided to head to Last Chance in Phoenix today in order to complete one mission: 

find good buys.

For those of you that don't know, 

Last Chance is the store full of "last chance" items from Nordstrom's once they leave Nordstrom Rack.

The bags were gorgeous!!

Unfortunately, I only seem to have a taste for Marc Jacobs bags, which are still $400-$500 at Last Chance.

But, their shoes were absolutely amazing as well!

Livs snagged some super cute Steve Madden sandals for $20 & a black shoulder bag for $2.

And I got away with two sexy pairs of Steve Madden heels, each for only $20.

originally $130

originally $90

I can't wait to wear them next weekend for Olivia's 21st birthday celebrations

and the following week for Paige's 21st birthday celebrations!

I've decided that I need to go here every month or so in order to build my shoe collection.

I ❤ fabulous deals!

LF love

It may be old news,

but I absolutely love the LF Spring lookbook.

Over the summer in LA, I loved going into the LF store and just drooling over the amazing clothes.

A little over my budget, but (hopefully) someday I'll be able to go in there and pick out anything I want.

I wish they had an online store since there's a 60% off sale this week...

So have fun & go shopping LA, Miami, Soho, & Boston!

Italia Bound

Today, my family and Paige took our darling Brooke

to the airport today for her four month departure to Milano, Italia.

We're going to miss her so much,

but we cannot wait to live vicariously through her amazing stories & adventures that are to come!

So, in honor of my lovely sister who is currently on a plane watching movies 

on little television screens on the back of cushiony chairs...

Here are some of the magazine covers that she'll be seeing on newsstands across her new home:

lyst on the rooftop

Last night, the PR firm (Bollare) that I'm interning for had an event with Lyst at The London West Hollywood.

It was a great turn out, and I got to help out with the guest list :)

There was champagne & hor d'oeuvres, and guests got to meet the VP of Lyst.

What's Lyst you ask??

It's a fashion discovery website...kind of like Twitter but for fashion.

You have your own profile where you can "lyst" fashion items that you want, like, or are inspired by.

People can follow your lysts and you can follow theirs.

It's generated thousands and thousands of dollars for the participating brands

because it makes it easier for people to navigate and discover fashion online.

Check it out:

& my lyst is fairly new, but follow it here

summer styles

I stumbled across the amazing 

Planet Blue

and I instantly fell in love with their incredible styles.

I'll probably never be able to purchase anything

since they're pretty steep in price,

but I absolutely love these looks for summer:

shopping after hours

I love online shopping.

I've only done it once, and I couldn't remember it at all.

Why???

Because I came home from getting my wisdom teeth taken out,

and under my loopy trance, I went to urbanoutfitters.com 

& went crazy.  

Luckily, I was smart enough to shop the sales,

but it was quite a surprise to find a package a few days later.

❤

So tonight, I did some "fake" online shopping since

I'm trying to save my money until the middle of February

when I go on a shopping trip with Brookie & Olivia.

I love Forever 21,

so I put all of my favorite things in "my bag"

and I could have gotten 12 items for only $147!!

Here are a few of my favorite things that I wish I could have bought:

thank you Polyvore :)
