Collective Shoe Haul & Review - February, March, April, & May 2013

This is my third and final collective haul and review from the past few months. If you haven't seen my other blog posts, check them out here and here.

 

Here is my shoes version:

Left to Right: JcPenney K9 by Rocket Dog Nonna Canvas Slip Ons in Blue, Kohl's Croft & Barrow Boat Shoes, Kohl's Simply Vera Vera Wang Ballet Flats, and Charming Charlie's Medallion Sandals in Turquoise & Black.



JcPenney K9 by Rocket Dog Nonna Canvas Slip Ons in Blue ($15) - I bought these a few months ago when they were on sale at JcPenney.  They are perfect for summer and the warm weather. I definitely do not recommend wearing them when there is a chance for rain. I made the mistake of wearing these when the ground was still wet after a rain storm and my feet got soaked. These are very comfortable, although they are thin on the bottom so you can feel the ground beneath your feet. I've since given these to my mom because they are a little snug on me. She loves them.

Kohl's Croft & Barrow Boat Shoes ($36.99) - I mistakenly included these in this post. These I actually bought in October. While writing this blog, I felt like I had already included these in a post. After going back to some older posts, I realized that these were in my October haul. Oops! These are still really nice shoes and I love them! These aren't still available online, but you should be able to find these at your local Kohl's store.

Kohl's Simply Vera Vera Wang Ballet Flats ($17.99) - I bought these for my friends wedding that I was in. These are super cute! They aren't completely broken in yet so they do hurt my feet after wearing them for a while. These are a great pair of shoes to wear when you are dressed up but you don't want to wear heels. I actually originally had my eye on these when they were full price ($59.99), but I didn't want to pay that for flats. I recommend getting these while they are still available and on sale! At the moment they are still available online in sizes 5 & 5 1/2 here.

Charming Charlie's Medallion Sandals in Turquoise & Black ($16.99) - I am in love with these sandals! When I first saw them, they reminded me of Tory Burch because of the medallion on the front. They also have these in a tan color. Originally I was only going to buy the black ones because they were more practical, however they had a buy one get one FREE offer when I got to the register. These are amazing for summer. I wish they came in more colors and had a silver medallion version. I would definitely buy more of these in the future. I would recommend these to anyone.



That's the last of my collective haul from the months of February, March, April, & May of this year. I hope you enjoyed this little series.

I will include my June, July, and possibly August haul together as well since I do not go shopping very often.

january haul (jewelry and accessories edition)

Hi again! Since I've purchased quite a few items this past month, I decided to break it up into sections. I posted my workout edition here if you'd like to take a look at that. This is my jewelry and accessories edition! I hope you like the things I bought because I did. :)

new year, new stuff (jewelry and accessories edition) by ladyem2 featuring fur hats


1.) I've been loving fur hats ever since I bought my first one a few weeks ago at charming charlies. I found a beret version for $15 while I was out to eat at a local outdoor mall. I stopped in  charming charlies afterward and found this to keep my ears warm! While I was looking at gabriel brothers, I noticed that they had winter accessories on sale. I found another fur hat (not as crazy as the one pictured) for less than $5. You can see what else I bought at gabriel brothers in my january haul (workout edition) which is linked at the top of this blog post. That was the first time I've ever been to gabriel brothers. If I hadn't found those winter accessories for really cheap, I wouldn't have payed for anything there. Not really my favorite store.

2.) While I was at the mall with a friend, we decided to take a look at express since they were having a sale going on. I found an infinity scarf in this beautiful silver sparkly color for only $7. It was marked down twice -- $35 to $15 and then $15 to $7. I usually don't buy anything from express because of the high prices, but there sales are really nice sometimes.

3.)  I've wanted pearl earrings for over a year now. I decided that before I quit my job due to my hectic school schedule that I would use my discount to finally get my pearl earrings. (BTW -- I'm in nursing school and I used to work at jared the gallery of jewelry).  These pink-toned medium-sized pearls are from mikimoto which were originally $130, however I got them for $64. Best purchase I've made in a long time.

4. While at the mall today, my mom and I were looking for a birthday present for my cousin who is ten. We stopped at icing to find a bracelet we thought about getting her for christmas. Our store seemed to be going out of business so everything was 75% off. I found two really cute newsboy type hats while we were there for under $10. These were normally $18 each! I bought one in a beige/tan type color with leather details on the side. The other one is a gray/black color that has a flower on the side. These are more for spring so it will probably be awhile before I wear them.

5. I also found a pack of two flower wrap type headbands while we were at icings. I couldn't find an exact picture, but I might post a picture of me wearing them at a later time. These are more spring-related as well. One is all white and the other is all black. Both headbands were only a few dollars.



So now that you know some of the things that I bought this month, what things of mine are you loving? What did you buy? Send me a picture! I'd love to see your january haul.

June 2012 Haul

Hi everyone! Here is a blog post about this months purchases. Many of the items were on my June Shopping List blog post, while others were not. I apologize for the crappy quality pictures. I may need to start using my camera rather than my phone's camera.

MAC blush in Peony Petal - this blush is beautiful! I originally wanted it when it came out with the Tres Cheek collection, however I couldn't justify buying 3 blushes from that collection at one time. I normally buy makeup in store, however this product wasn't available at any of the locations near me. This was my first purchase that I bought on their website.






Planner - I love shopping for new planners every year. I usually buy this brand of planners at Office Max for $20. However, I found this one for $10 at Target! I buy the ones that are July to June rather than January to December. Planners keep me really organized while I'm in school.







Headbands - I've been wanting a pearl headband for a while now and I finally found one at my local Charming Charlies. These two headbands came in a pack for $8. They look so preppy and summery!

 Scarf - I fell in love with this scarf when I saw it at Charming Charlies. It's very cute and lightweight. This is perfect for all year round, especially in the spring and summer.







Tumbler - I am in love with this tumbler. I found it at a local store for only $3. I saw a few online that I loved however they were pretty expensive. This is great for this time of year to drink lemonade or water.







Clarisonic Mia - This was a spur of the moment kind of purchase. I've wanted this for months and months, however I thought I would wait to buy this until Christmas since the price tag is so high! However, I received a 20% of coupon from Ulta in the mail and I finally decided to buy it. I knew I wanted to buy it either with an Ulta coupon like that or during Sephora's Friends & Family sale. I cannot wait to use this!



L'oreal True Match Natural Mineral Foundation and Finishing Powder - I have repurchased these products multiple times. I have lost count how many bottles I have went through. I bought the foundation shade 456 (soft ivory).

What have you bought this month?
