Product Placement

I am not selling you Perrier in these pictures.  I am tricking you into thinking I am so that you subconsciously look at my accessories!  I thought it would be fun to do some modeling with my new best friend, Grapefruit Perrier.  The bottle is so pretty it was begging for a photo opp. 

Seriously though, is that how advertising works?  When someone is obviously trying to sell you something, it is off putting.  So I wonder if they distract us with something so blatant we look the other way at the real thing they are trying to sell...  like at the grocery store, the aisles are filled with sale signs and price reductions that are obviously gimmicky so you know you don't need the products. Yet when you get to the checkout you find all the most delectable and tempting creations sitting quietly, not asking for a dime.  This, my friends, is where you splurge.

Speaking of grocery stores, I received a compliment on my new Joie perfume today in Whole Foods.  That made me happy.  It was from a man who allegedly wanted to buy it for his mom.  It is a sad day when you wear a new perfume and no one comments, no?

Folle de Joie

One of my favorite fashion labels, Joie, has come out with their first perfume!  Its light and fresh, perfect for spring and summer. I love almost every clothing article they make, so I bought the perfume blindly when I found out, without even testing it!  It literally smells exactly like I imagined their clothing line would be-translated to a fragrance.  Not to mention the bottle is simply stunning.  I couldn't wait to wear it out with the girls!

My Little Photoshoot

My outfit today!  And it's cheap (except for the accessories).  I have a weakness for designer accessories -eek!  I find the cutest outfits are always a mix of low and high end.  I like to sneak some budget fashion jewelry into an otherwise expensive outfit or vice versa.  Sometimes I go head to toe forever 21 with chic handbag or sunglasses!  No one can ever tell the rest of your outfit is thrifty if you wear at least one nice item :).  Here is me and my outfit having fun with my new camera app on my phone.  I tinted all the pics! Enjoy

Spring style wishlist

So I thought I'd share with you a few of the many, many, many clothing/fashion/style items on my spring wish list. I have an embarrassingly long bookmarks page on my computer strictly for fashion.  I add everything I want to my bookmarks when I'm shopping online, and then later I weed through it and narrow it down.  Even then, I realistically only purchase one to three items because I have expensive tastes : D.  It is really hard to figure out which three items to buy out of a list of 50!  It's exhausting but I have a passion for fashion what can I say.

*After I posted the first three items I noticed they were all pink. Unintentional.  So, I changed the post to Spring Pink!  Nothing says spring like a bright pop of pink!  I just compiled all of the pink items on my wish list...enjoy!

Dyptique Rose Duet candle @Nordstrom

I need this in my closet on my vanity tray!  It's so beautiful and I love all things rosy, pink and Parisian at the moment.  Plus it makes your clothes absorb the scent and smell delicious!  Dyptique makes the best candles too...

Coach Sunglasses @Nordstrom

I told you I liked pink!  How cute are these pink and leopard sunnies?!  They are retro and vintagey and chic and adorable all in one!  And yes I have a crush on Nordstrom if you couldn't tell.

Wildfox Sugar High Baggy Beach Jumper @Singer22

I love Wildfox.

Splendid Vintage Whisper Tee @RevolveClothing

Love Splendid Tees they are so soft and comfy!  This one comes in neon yellow and blue too and I want them all for Spring!  Time to spice it up and give the plain white tees a break...

Joie Wilmington Blouse @RevolveClothing

Ok so this is barely pink but I must have it!!!  like, yesterday.  If I get this though, I can get absolutely nothing else on my list.  Ahhh LOVE!
