Sparkle and shine
As a pageant girl, I love my rhinestones and sparkles. And as a girly girl, I love me some shoes and purses. I have a whole closet dedicated to my purses and totes. B says I have WAY too many; he cringes every time I get a new one. I just like to have options for different outfits. Same goes for my shoes..I'm a proud owner of 125ish of them.
Like many materialistic women out there, I lust after name brands...specifically ones I can only dream of having. I'll admit, I do have a pair of Burberry heels that I begged my dad to get me for Christmas a few years ago. Despite how fashionable they are, they're probably the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I have!
For the longest time ever, I've wanted a pair of Christian Louboutins. There's something about the red sole of the shoe that gets to me. One pair in particular recently caught my eye...
Sparkles, sparkle and more sparkles. Not just any regular ole crystal rhinestone..but Swarovski AB crystals. Ahhhhh..so in love with them. If only it weren't for that $3500 price tag on these....despite the price, I'm still determined to get a pair one day!

Everything old is new again...
Looking back on what I wore back in the 90's in grade school, I thought I was pretty fashionable. After wearing a uniform all week at school, I couldn't wait for the weekends to sport my "cool" clothes.
No outfit was complete unless a scrunchie was on your wrist...or a slap bracelet.
Bell bottom and flared jeans became a rag among the 4th graders at my school.
Rompers and jelly shoes were all the fave in 2nd grade.
My mom always told me that she wished she had saved her clothes for me..she always told me vintage is in! In fact, one of my favorite designers is Betsey Johnson, and my mom had a dress from her back in the 70's. I wish I could have it now!
Growing up, I never thought that clothes I wore as a child would come back in style. But I just looked at The Limited and look what we have here...

Looks like my cool rompers from the second grade are back in this season. I wonder if my jelly shoes would look stylish with that?

The case of the heavy purse....
Tonight, I flew back to Wisconsin to spend the weekend with my family. And tonight, all my mom and I did was relax on the couch which was nice. Well....actually I gave my mom a tutorial on her new iphone and filled my new ipod shuffle up with songs...but other than that, it was laying on the couch watching tv.
Of course since it's a Friday night, there's not much on. But, we came across QVC and they were showing Vera Bradley on it. For those of you who don't know, I am OBSESSED with all things Vera..as are my mom and sister. Every time I look at the site, it makes me want EVERYTHING in EVERY pattern!
One of the items they were showing was a new purse. Lately, I have been feeling the brunt of a much too heavy purse and it got me to thinking about what I keep in my handbags...
I remember when I turned 16 and I got my first designer purse...a light brown Coach purse (as pictured above) that was just big enough to fit my wallet and new car keys. And now, I carry a large Kate Spade tote that has a wallet, cosmetic case, inhaler, sunglasses, glasses, car keys, hand sanitizer, and lotion among other things. Everyday it's a challenge for me to find things in my endless pit of a purse. And as much as I'd like to take out unnecessary things, I am a true believer in the Girl Scout mantra of "Always be prepared."
I have kleenex for when you need to blow your nose...
Nasal spray because who knows when my sinus' will act up....
A tide stick since I can be a sloppy eater...
Pen or two for when you don't get one to sign the bill when you're out to eat...
All these among other things..
I wish I was a bit more simplistic and didn't think I'd need all of those things. I'll be honest, it's rare I need to use the Tide stick...in fact I probably use it more when I'm just at home and not out and about! But I bet if I took it out, I'd need to use it.
Maybe it's a bit of a mom instinct in me, but at least I'm always prepared for any situation...
so prepared that I always carry an extra snack with me too. You never know when your tummy will say it's hungry!
So...what's in your handbag? Are you a tote or clutch kind of gal?
