Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - Pure Craziness!

For the past few days, Blogger has been abuzz in anticipation of Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. I, being one of them! So many beautiful Fall clothes, so little money (I only speak for myself). This girl is on a precarious budget, and it is no easy feat to keep the purse straps tight when there are so many pretties just waiting to be shoved into my tiny closet. (To solve this, I cleaned out my closet and am giving away some old things I don't wear anymore to charity). Another strange thing about the Nordies sale: Treking my sweaty self to the store where nothing but heavy jackets and cardigans tease me. It is 105 degrees here readers! Really, I couldn't help but laugh at all the women I saw carrying loads of sweaters and skinny jeans, pulling on boots while pretending that outside, the pavement wasn't scorching and the sun wasn't beating down on all of our poor cars in the parking lot. I wore white cotton eyelet shorts today with a gray tee and my beaded sandals. Quite funny indeed while I tried on the two items that I decided to buy. It's unfortunate that these will have to sit unworn and unloved in my closet for the next three or four months. Oh well, at least I know they're there. I may have to go back for more...tomorrow?

Halogen Crop Collarless Jacket (in black and white). I DIE for this! Anything that remotely reminds me of Chanel-esque and I'm a goner. I got it in an XS. It doesn't look as cropped on my body because I'm short.

halogen Pleat Shoulder Cardigan. I got it in Deep Gem, size S. This wasn't on sale, but I needed it anyway and the price seemed right.

So that is what I limited myself to. I could have gone mad, but I am happy to report that I came out of the craziness with some money left in my wallet. Which, I still might blow through tomorrow if I decide to go back ;)

What, if anything, did you pick up? Let me know!

~One Year Blogiversary~

I realized last week that July 15th was my one-year anniversary on Blogger. I'm so happy that I decided exactly one year ago today to take the plunge and start my very own blog. It began mainly as beauty related, then evolved into beauty AND fashion. I just wanted to take this time to seriously, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for clicking on that little "Follow" icon on my page. I appreciate each and every one of you for taking the time out of your busy lives to read the little things I write. It is so rewarding to share a common passion, and not have to worry about others judging me for it. I feel like I have made some great friends on here, and there is no better feeling than that!

So again my dear readers,

Thank you for reading, commenting, and supporting!

The end of an era

I just stumbled in the door from work (I am SO sore from a body/abs class the boyfriend and I took at our gym last night!)
Plop on my bed, turn on my laptop, and turn on the T.V. to find a Hills marathon on. The finale is tonight! Really, the real finale. Are any of you going to watch? The Hills has been my ultimate guilty pleasure, right from the start when Lauren Conrad moved to Los Angeles from Laguna Beach. I hate to admit just how obsessed I have been with the show. The boyfriend just found that fun little fact out this past weekend. "Wait, you actually WATCH that? You LIKE IT?" Yes, dear, yes I do. Not because I love the story lines, although they are entertaining. But because I love watching what all those girls are wearing!

THE definition of Southern California style. I love it, but I guess I'm biased.

I'm going to miss it. Long-awkward-silences-into-the-camera and all. I'm sure i'll end up buying the complete series on DVD, whenever that comes out.

So, back to my question: are you going to watch the last episode? Are you sad it's ending, happy? Couldn't care less?
