shopping haul from the weekend....

i shop too much! i had to clean out my closet, again, because i needed to make room for my new items.
even though i was just at old navy the other week, i went back because they were having an extra 50% off of their clearance, and there were a few items that i wanted to get, but never did. most of my stuff was $5 and under, some were $9, but overall, excellent deals!

this was one of my favorite buys there. a black blazer with white lining detail for $5!

i also loved this pleated mini skirt for $5.

 i just realized that most of the stuff i bought were black, white/cream, and Fuchsia! my favorite colors.


i also stopped by goodwill to look for some wall paper remnants, but couldn't find any. instead, found these things:

 this little floral wooden purse for $5. it instantly caught my eye, and i just had to have it. i think it would be so cute for spring/summer with a flowy dress/skirt.

 i loved the army green color on this one. it was brand new, for only $4.99.

 the bright orange inside, definitely gives it that pop of color that it needs.

 this were an instant eye catcher too. they're a half size smaller than i wear, because i normally would wear a 7, but they were too cute to pass up. i can fit into 6 1/2s, depending on the style of the shoe. thankgoodness, these fit me.

 the bottom of the soles were in really great shape too.

then, on my way home, i stopped by jcp to kill some time. i've had my eyes on this jacket, ever since it came into the store, but it was always a little too pricey for me. it finally went down to $24, and when i tried it on, i fell in love with it. $24 is still a little too pricey in my opinion, but i loved it enough to pay the price. lol since it wasn't too cold that day, i actually wore it after i purchased it.

i think that i'm done shopping....for shirts that is. lol i still need to look for a dress, since i might be going to california for my sister's wedding in march.

Goodies & Roses

over the weekend my bf & i stopped by my local goodwill. my intent was to look for a gray purse so that i could take the straps off and use it on my crocheted purse that i made, but i didn't find any. =( unfortunately, my bf's intent was to buy as much junk as he could. lol he ended up getting a few cds (bsb, nsync, etc), a few dvd movies, a photo cube (totally useless, but i didn't want to hear him complain, so i let him have it), and a few other misc things. i, on the other hand, grabbed a frame (which was new and only 1.99), an asian food container (also new), a rectangle glass container to hold my nail art(i'll post the finished product soon), a white flower vase (only 2.99), a wooded elephant, and an owl figurine. i love owls, and the elephant was super cute.

i actually spray painted the elephant and the owl white yesterday to go with the decor in my room.

i still need to do a second coat, and then they should be done. i love how paint can transform anything old into something new and modern.

the same day, i also went into ulta to get my free item. since it took me forever to finally go to ulta, there weren't that many choices left on the nail polishes, so i picked "fine pruned". which, i thought was a really nice color. i've been looking for something similar for my sister. anyway, i also got around to trimming my nails and finally using my new konad image plates i got a couple weeks ago. 

 i love the rose print. i wanted to do it over newspaper printed nails, but i couldn't find our rubbing alcohol. =(

the rose print is on the right one, image plate m65.
