Target Haul and NOTD

I haven't been to Target in such a long time, feels like years, and oh how I missed you Target! My main purpose of going to Target is for a new blow dryer. The one I have back at the apartment is about to die :( Sometimes it blows out hot air, other times, cold. Needless to say it was time for a new one. But you can't just go to Target for one thing, you have to look around. I spent a good 45 minutes in Target today. Oh how I love you Target and all your wonderful things inside. :) Not only did I pick up a blow dryer I picked up new flip flops, photo album, scrapbook, nail polish, lipstick..

Lately I've been thinking a lot about my wedding and all the little details and such, which I'll probably be doing more wedding posts as days go on. My wedding is a little over a year away and I want to start purchasing things and getting things rolling. Yesterday I thought about buying a wedding planning book. I meant to go to Barnes and Nobles today but just didn't have the time. Instead I was thinking about getting a photo album for all of our photos from the actual engagement. The fiance and I plan on getting our pictures professionally done in the summer. But I've had these photos from when the fiance and I got engaged at the beach and they're just sitting in a drawer in my bedroom without a home. So I wanted to pick up a small photo album for them.. I found this adorable photo album at Target on clearance for $7.00! It's not big at all, I didn't need a big fancy one..





I love this!



This is the back of the photo album





The main reason I grabbed this one is because it's small and because it's blue. Blue because John asked me to marry him at the beach so I thought blue would be appropriate. :)

Anyway, also while I was searching through the photo albums I found this predone scrapbook for planning your wedding. Basically you fill it in, when you two first met, when you got engaged, pictures of your bridal parties, etc. I thought this was such a good idea! Plus it was on clearance for $13.00







Stickers.





I took some photos of what the book offers.











Plus each page is also a folder! If you have place cards or extra invitations or save the dates you can put them in the folders! So smart! :)





And last but not least, normally I don't do these, but it's a nail of the day! :)











Goodnight.

Steve Madden Bow Flip Flops Dupe

As you guys may know I'm on spring break this week.. so the fiance and I decided to visit a friend who lives in Baltimore Maryland for the weekend. And of course, as you guys know, I went shopping.. haha. We went to this beautiful mall in the city and I found these flip flops. I almost died when I seen them because I seen a post by Veronika's Blushing and she posted that she bought these similar flip flops at Steve Madden but for $40.00!... The ones I got are almost identical to hers (well besides that mine are black) except I got mine for a whopping $16.00!

I got them from a store called Laila Rowe. I'm not sure if they have a website or not, but try googling it. The store had so many cute things. Especially umbrellas! Although I thought they were kind of expensive I passed them up.. But the store as a ton of cute accessories!

But anyway onto my flip flops.. Originally I wanted these in white but I opted for the black because they were only $16.00 and I was on the hunt for them ever since I seen them on Veronika's blog. I looked every where! I looked on the Steve Madden's website, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus I can't seem to find them! I don't live near a Steve Madden, so I have to opt for ordering, but just can't seem to find them online. So you could imagine my excitement when I found these rare gems sitting in a random shop in Baltimore Maryland. :)

They even come in a cute little mesh bag!







Please excuse my awful paint job on the toenails. I need to re-do them!







So if anyone knows where I can find these online I still want to purchase the white ones, comment below!!

I Heart My Valentine!

Wow, it's been close to a full month since I last blogged! I missed you guys! I really have no explanation for my absence besides school work and life. Luckily for you guys, and me, I'll be on Spring Break starting tomorrow at 12:05. :) I can't believe it's already March and soon I'll be done with school for the semester. You have no idea how excited I am to get back to work, friends and family. :)

Anyway, I know this is extremely late but I guess it's better later than never. Haha. This will be my Valentines Day post. I have an OOTD for ya, and my present from the fiance. :)

The fiance and I celebrated Valentines late this year because it fell on a Monday and we had classes and school work, so we decided to celebrate it the following weekend. :) We kept it low key by going to Red Lobster and to a movie.

OOTD (I'm sorry for the horrible lighting)



Wearing Charlotte Russe mini skirt, Forever 21 boyfriend blazer, tights, black tank, Old Navy boots, and my Juicy Couture charm bracelet.



Some of my presents for Valentines Day:

Haul Time!

Haha, this is probably the smallest haul ever, but I did some shopping the other day on John and I's 8 year anniversary... Purchased some things from Rue 21 and from Ross... Actually it's not just a purchase from Ross, it was my first heel purchase ever. I'm about 5'8"-9" and John's about the same height as me, if not a little bit taller. And I absolutely hate my height, ever since I was young. People would always comment about how tall I was, and kind of make fun of me, calling me "Big Bird", yadda yadda, so I've always had a conflict with my height. Although people tell me to embrace it, I just can't. But anyway, I'm side tracking here, so I was looking at these cute heels, and I was trying them on, and John asked me why I never wear heels, so I explained it, and he was like, "I don't care if you're taller than me." I know he doesn't, but it bothers me.

Anyway, so I tried on a bunch of heels and fell in love with a particular pair and purchased them. Whether or not I'll wear them over, I don't know.. But none-the-less I do feel "girlier" wearing them! haha...
