Holiday Wish List

I've been inspired by Shelly over at GS Lillian to compile a holiday wish list. It's not entirely without it's rewards either, by doing so I'm entering a giveaway she's got going on. Unfortunately, it ends tomorrow...I'm sorta late to the game.

I was off for a total of 6 days last week. I was out sick 2 days (food poisoning or the flu) and then there was the Thanksgiving Holiday. Pretty much the worst 6 days EVER (except for the eating of all the turkey & yummy food). By Monday I was looking forward to actually going to work. Crazy, but true.

This week has all been about catching up. Not much fun going on. Although, I did get to go to a Pampered Chef party Tuesday night, and now I'm doing this so I guess it hasn't been a total bust.

My wish list(s) are of things I wish I could have put on my Christmas list but didn't because we're going low key this year. I tried to go as low key as "don't get me anything" but Santa is sorta stubborn about his job so I threw out gift cards to some places.

Since I couldn't pick just one "must have" item from GS Lillian I just made a separate wish list for GS Lillian jewelry. I mean, have you seen her stuff? How do you not want one of everything in ever color?! If I had made a real Christmas list a GS Lillian necklace would have definitely been on it.

What I Wore Wednesday: Week 3

Joining at The Pleated Poppy

I actually tried wearing this outfit last week. For some reason I was extra klutzy that day so wearing the needed footwear for this dress was out of the question. I nearly killed myself in my Dollhouse wedges. I fell out of my wedged flip flops and then fell off of my FLAT flip flops. Yeah, not sure how I did that either. Instead I settled for wearing capri's and flat sandals that strapped around my ankle to insure I didn't fall off or out of them.

I didn't get any photo's of me wearing this outfit yesterday but it is exactly the same, sans the hair flower. I couldn't get my hair to cooperate with hair accessories.

I love the pop of the turquoise amongst the black...

Dress: Old Navy

Black tank: Target

Turquoise tank: Forever 21 ($2.50)

Necklace: Target (old)

Bracelet: Target (under $5 clearance)

Rings: Silver unknown, Turquoise: Michael's craft supplies

Here's what I'm wearing today...

Vest: Pink Rose via TJ Maxx ($10 clearance)

Cream cami: Old Navy ($5)

Navy cami: Target ($6)

Bermuda jean shorts: OLD!

Needless to say I fell off the no buying/shopping bandwagon. I'm blaming Ashley at The Shine Project for this weeks Shine Challenge. We are to put together a vintage/thrifted outfit. So I went out and found a never worn Old Navy skirt (more details on that find Friday). I needed to find a shirt to go with said skirt as nothing I own matches. Apparently, nothing any of the stores have (at least at Ross, Target & TJ Maxx) matches either.

Anyway, the $5 thrifted Old Navy skirt ended up being the equivalent to the gateway drug. As in MY gateway drug...clothing/shopping.

When I see a super good deal it takes just about everything in me to walk away. So I guess I don't have a whole hell of a lot in me since I caved and ended up making a purchase. Or two.

Ring: Charming Charlie (old)

Bracelet: UO Leather Wrap Bracelet (old)

Necklace: Metal Many Charm Necklace (old)

Earrings: You can't see them but I'm wearing the Vintage Rose earrings I won

They match my ring perfectly!

Bracelet: UO Leather Wrap Bracelet

Ring: Charming Charlie

This is what I'll be wearing tomorrow...

No, it's not a purse. Clutch, really.

But the clutch is not what I'll be wearing. It just goes perfectly with the outfit.

I got it at a STEAL! Had to share...

So cute right?!

$3.74 at Target. S.T.E.A.L!

THIS is what I'll be wearing...

White cami: TJ Maxx ($4.99)

Fuchsia(?) tank: Target ($6.00)

Shorts: Limited via TJ Maxx ($7.50)

Bracelet: Target ($3.99)

Necklace: Target (old)

Shoes: Charlotte Russe (old)

I would have worn it earlier in the week but I forgot to do laundry so I couldn't wear it yet. These photo's are from after I bought them & were trying to figure out what they went with.

With cardigan: Target

Close up of earrings: Charming Charlie (old)

Bracelet: Target ($3.99)

Necklace: Target (old)

Rings: Charming Charlie (old)

Close up on necklace. I LOVE it!

Ever notice how I photograph jewelry better than outfits? Proof of where my true love lies.

P.S. Just because something has a price next to it it doesn't mean I just bought it. It just means I actually remember the price. Probably because it was THAT awesome. The clutch, vest and shorts are new purchases that I made this week. I may have fallen off the wagon but not that bad. =)

Spotlight: ViviDot

Thanks to Little Chief Honeybee I've been introduced to Vivi Dot. Vivi Dot is a store with super cute items in it!

Seriously, check some of their items out...

Photo House Polaroid Necklace

Perched Sparrows Jumbo Clip

Kissing Chickies Ring

Blooming Vines Flower Brooch

My personal favorite is this cutie right here...

Squirrel and Acorn Watch Necklace

Little Chief Honeybee is having a giveaway for a $75 Vivi Dot shop credit. I could do some damage with $75 in that shop. If you want to enter go here.

I swear, I need to quit reading blogs. I keep finding all these super cute shops with super cute jewelry. Like I really needed ANOTHER place to buy jewelry from. Or at least another shop to lust after jewelry from. My checkbook isn't too padded these days, going jewelry shopping isn't in my budget right now. But that doesn't mean I can't window shop or pass on the great finds to you all.

You can also check out Vivi Dot's blog.

Sorry about the weird spacing, alignment & whatever else Blogger has decided to do on it's own. We aren't really getting along as of late.

Window Shopping Weekends: The All About Jewelry Etsy Wishlist

Welcome to the second edition of Window Shopping Weekends. This weekend I'm doing another Etsy Wish list. My hopes it to someday do some other kind of wish list but for now Etsy it is. I picked jewelry I'm itching to get my hands on because of all the jewelry giveaways I've seen online this week. I haven't added any of the items I've posted for giveaways because they are too obvious.
