Juicy Couture Sale & New IPhone Case

Very random post, but I thought I would share the sale that Juicy Couture has going on.. 40% off their clearance jewelry I'm not sure if this includes other merchandise, like clothing and accessories, but it is for jewelry. I picked up the Strawberry from their Valentines Day collection for a whooping $24.00.


First of all, I have to say, that I love this small bag! I'm keeping it, I have no clue what for, but it's too cute not to keep. hahah

Originally $52.00, purchased for $24.00.

Now this is going to be very random.. I needed a new case for my phone since it was pretty beat up, so I looked on eBay.com and found a tone of cases I love. I ended up buying 2, currently using this one, the other one I left at my house, I'll post pictures of it another day.. but how cute is this case?!

It fades from pink to white.

I know, very random post.. but I had to share. :) Go check out Juicy though, they had some really cute spring necklaces on clearance too! Also, if interested in purchasing in an iPhone case, comment below and I'll get you the seller's ID.

Wedding Post: Printable Hershey Kiss Labels & OOTD

Me and one of my bridesmaids went shopping for the wedding over the weekend, and I'm so excited to share some of my finds with you. :) I should have took more photos inside of Michaels of things I like, but unfortunately me and my friend were having so much fun looking at everything, and compiling ideas, that I just didn't.. But believe me as I go on purchasing things I'll post things I bought. Also, they have a wonderful selection of wedding things.

My main reason for going shopping was to look for the jars for the favor table and get ideas for what I'm going to have my guests put their candy in. We found an awesome idea, and I can't wait to share once I buy them!

But anyway, here's some of the jars I found that are so beautiful. Definitely a Juicy Couture-feel.



All the jars shown here are in the $29.99 price range.

$14.99

I didn't purchase any that day, I actually waited until Sunday for a 40% off a regular priced item coupon and I bought one of the jars, which I will picture in a future post.

But a friend from work said to go to TJMaxx or Marshalls to look for jars like that, and low and behold I found three of them that I loved. Priced at $5.99, $6.99, $7.99 I couldn't go wrong. So I picked those up and those will also be pictured in a future post.


I found Hershey Kiss Printable Labels!!!!!! Oh my gosh, I was so excited. This company also gives you a website where you design your labels and you print them through them on your own printer. I picked up a pack for $5.99

I also picked up these for the groomsmen and my fiance, they're cuff links. I think it'll add a cute touch to their suits. Plus they were only $1.49!

Photobucket



We also decided to go to A.C.Moore. Terrible wedding selection. It might just be my A.C.Moore, but I felt like they were completely sold out of a lot of things. Anyway, I stumbled across this potential wedding card holder. I'm absolutely stumped at what I should do for the card holders... But I like this cute Present box.



Priced at $22.99 (they might have coupons too if you're interested)

Photobucket

Top of the box has a huge bow. :)

I'm kind of reluctant to post these OOTD photos only because I wore this out drinking with a bunch of friends, and silly me decides to take the photos when I come home from the bar, ya, not smart after a few drinks. My hair is messy and my makeup is smeered, but none-the-less I thought the outfit was cute so I thought I'd post anyway.

Wedding Post: Favors Part 2

I got an e-mail from theknot.com about a sale they had going on, and I decided to check it out. I found a bunch of stuff I'm interested in for the wedding, but in particular these candies that you can personalize. It would be the perfect touch to the candy favors.

I was talking to my bridesmaids about it, as they are a little pricey (because of the personalized labels), that we could possibly print out own labels from a printer to put on them. I'm really interested in getting the Hershey Kisses in the Silver Foil and having the bottoms personalized (Yes, you can choose the kind of foils), they also have different flavors you can choose from, which I thought was a good idea.



Photobucket



They also have M&M's you can personalize, and you can choose the specific color you want.



Photobucket

And also I like the idea of the Hershey Chocolate Bars with the wrappers, I would obviously pick the pink. :) But it's $29.99 just for 100 labels, not including the chocolates.

Photobucket



Just thought I would share some of the ideas I found, hope maybe this helps with your planning. You don't even have to do what I'm doing you can just have the candies in a bowl for people to munch on, or even just place at the tables for a little snack. :)

I'm going home tomorrow and this weekend I'm going shopping for those jars for the favor stand. Wish me luck!

Mint Sorbet NOTD

St. Patricks Day is tomorrow so I thought I would be a little fesitive and paint my nails a green color.. ok, maybe not exactly green, but close enough. As you guys know I bought nail polish from Target in Mint Sorbet by Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear nail color. This is the first time I'm trying out this section of their nail polishes.. So I can't really give a proper review.. On the tips of my nails I used Art Deco in silver glitter..

I really like this Sorbet color reminds me of Tiffany's. :)

OOTD Kohls Haul

My mom and I went to Kohls while I was on spring break and picked up a few things. My fav? A trench by Lauren Conrad. Unfortunately I didn't get photos of everything I bought, some of the things I got are still at home, I didn't bring them back to school with me.. but the things I did I'll post today. :)



Black Cargo Skinny Jeans, on clearance for $8.00 I've been wanting these because I love the cargo skinny look!

Photobucket

2 Tanks.. Kohl's tanks are my favorite because they're so long!

Photobucket

This is my OOTD I wore this when the fiance and I went to King of Prussia. I'll take my photos of it when I get home, but for now here's the photos of my outfit of the day. I'm sorry about the quality. These were taken after a LONG day of shopping, and I went out with friends at nights.. lol

Lauren Conrad Trench, Leggings, Leopard shoes from Charlotte Russe

Better picture of the beautiful color and pretty buttons. :)

Best part of the jacket, and what sold me? The bow on the back!!

Wedding Post: Favors

Favors for your wedding.. what are your plans? I was stumped thinking of what I wanted to do as favors for our guests. I didn't want to just matches or mints with our names on them. I wanted to do something fun! I searched throughout the internet on different websites for favors and I just couldn't think of what I would like to do.. Until I was searching a random website that posts photos of weddings. And I stumbled across the idea of candy in beautiful jars. I talked it over with my girls from the party and they LOVE the idea, they think it's great! I was thrilled because I wasn't sure it was a good idea, but with their reassurance I feel a lot better about it...

So basically people put bubble gum, jelly beans, m&m's, lollipops, etc in beautiful jars (kind of like the ones you would see at Juicy Couture). You allow your guests to fill up a bag of their favorite type of candy. It's genius, not only is it fun to pick out your only candy but it looks super-cute too. And it screams Vanessa. :)

I found random photos on wedding blogs and websites that I would show what I was thinking of.

My absolute favorite is the last one. It's so cute! The only problem I'm going to have is deciding what my guests will have to fill the candy.. a box, a bag.. ?? Any ideas?

Wedding Post

This is going to be the start of very many wedding posts.. haha. I started to put together my engagement photo album and took some photos of photos for you guys. lol. I kind of want this to be a good reminder of how I planned my wedding. The fiance thinks we should start our own wedding website. I wish I knew how! For now, it's just going to have to be on my blog. :)

I also went through some magazines I have and decided to start a little "inspiration book". When I see things that I like, that I would like for my wedding I'm cutting it out of magazines. This way when I start to go shopping for things I have a general idea, if not a very good idea, of things I want. :) And because I started to do this, I'm going to share it on my blog! I hope you guys enjoy.

I know a few blogs I follow are planning their wedding through their blog and I thought it was very inspirational and thought I would do it on my blog as well.

Yes, that's my hand writing!

One day I'm going to put together a whole scrapbook of my engagement, engagement party, wedding AND honeymoon. Until that day, that photo album will have to do.

Now onto random magazine clippings..



First of all this is very random.. but how very cute would this be to put on your door for your honeymoon?! I mean I could picture myself putting this adorable pillow on the door and taking a photo with it.. haha. I'm just a dork like that.

Photobucket

This is just a little "Bride" make up kit. I'm obviously not going to be purchasing a make up kit for $175.. I only like it for the make up bag, I could very well put my own make up in it.. but I'd love to have this to take on my honeymoon or the day of my wedding for touch ups. I wonder if I could find just a makeup bag to do that..

Photobucket

Now as far as the colors of my wedding go, it'll be hot pink, orange and another color, which I don't know of it (suggestions please!) but I LOVE the idea of the pink flowers underneath my wedding cake.

Photobucket

As far as the guestbook is concerned, I don't want your traditional guest book where guests sign their name, I want something fun like this guest book. Basically guests are given a page and they fill it out. For instance, they ask where you met the couple (bride and groom), etc. I thought it was a cute idea. If you like the idea as well I included the whole page so you can check out their website.

I hope you enjoyed this post. And for those getting married I hope I gave you guys some inspiration. :) Goodnight.
