uh oh, somebody went shopping...

Okay, so I have a shopping addiction. I can have close to nothing in my bank account, but somehow I always manage to move some funds around and I'll find some money to shop. Maybe I should go to therapy...and I'm not talking about retail therapy - okay, maybe I am. Sue me. Or just dress me.

First stop: Urban Outfitters.

1. BDG Cigarette High Rise Jean - Red $58.
     Urban's jeans now come in different lengths instead of just regular, ankle and ankle grazer. I love this because, being 5'0'', I don't have to hem anything by getting the shorter lengths! Score!
      I was a little scared of these jeans at first, for two reasons. One: high waisted. Two: red. But they     are actually amazing and my friend threatened my life if I didn't buy them.
2. BDG High-Waisted Denim Short - Dark Blue $44
       I love this shorts. Very flattering. I feel so cool wearing them. I have them in black too, and I think the black is my favorite.
3. Silence and Noise Cropped Boxy Tee - Black $34
      Just a simple cute little long sleeve shirt. I like anything that hangs off my shoulder and this does it. I feel a little like a ballerina when I wear this. Cute!


Stop Two: Free People.
1. FP ONE Black Floral Crop Top - $58
       Cute little corset top. Never thought I would buy one of these, but I tried it on for fun and loved it. It has thick straps so you can still wear a bra with it, and hook and eye clasps in the front with a smocked back. LOVE IT!
2. Cropped Printed Crinkle Tank - Ivory $48
     Really cute floral print. I had a really hard time deciding which color to buy, I wanted them all!
3. Rib and Lace Crop Cami - Black $48
     I bought this as an undershirt. It's a little tight so it works when I want low cut shirts and dresses to be a little less revealing, since it's a crop cami it works under all the crop tops as well! For some reason the black isn't a color option online, but keep checking back. This was definitely a great summer buy!
4. My fourth purchase was a clearance item so it is unfortunately not on Free People's website               anymore. I'm not sure if it's technically a tunic or a dress, I put little shorts under it the first time I wore it because it is a little short and I knew I'd be bending and reaching at work all day.

but i want an oompaloompa now...and these amazing shoes.

I'm a size 6...all donations welcome. Just kidding. 
 
Frye Engineer 12R Boot
I want to wear these with jeans, shorts and little dresses. Everyone in my life knows I live in boots - all year round - these would be an amazing alternative to my knee high Steve Madden motorcycle boots that I wear almost every day.
Jeffrey Campbell Lita Platform Boot
These shoes are amazing, I want to be this tall always. Jeffrey Campbell does not sell his shoes through his own website (oooh how mysterious!) But his website has a long list of retailers.
Christian Louboutin Platform Pump
I have a sick obsession with Louboutin shoes...a magnetic connection, if you will. I can immediately tell when a pair is near me and I won't be able to stop staring. The red soles melt my worries away and make me slightly giddy. A simple pair of these babies will never go out of style and should last a long, long time. One day they shall be mine....

i heart denim


No matter how many pairs of jeans I buy...these three are my staple pairs that I wear day after day while the other pairs stay neatly folded on their little shelves...or thrown all over the floor.

"The Legging" 
These are the most amazing pair of jeans i have ever owned. Thank you Levi's!!!! The fit is amazing. They look great on everyone. My friend and I joke that we want to buy them in every size they make, just to be sure (even when we may need maternity jeans) that we will have a pair of levi's denim leggings that fit. 
Order a size down. Or just order every size. Trust me.

Something about J Brand denim just makes you look and feel great. This pair is high rise, but I have the exact same ones in a low rise and they are a definite favorite and constant go-to pair of jeans. Dress them up or dress them down. Fancy or casual. However you're wearing them...you'll feel pretty, I swear.



 
The A&F Super Skinny Destroyed
I think everyone should own a pair of ripped jeans. They're casual and a little bit bad-ass because they make you look a little tough. Now, I'm all for DIYing for a pair of destroyed denim....but alas, I am impatient and know Abercrombie and Fitch will always have me covered when i need destroyed denim.
