Shopping finds for October

 I found some amazing things at Marshall's, TJ Maxx and on eBay at Last Call from Neiman Marcus:). I got a ton of new workout gear and clothes, way to much to how. I had a lot when I signed up a month ago but have literally lost 18 lbs or more and body is transforming amazing. I had to get smaller bottoms and some slightly smaller tops. Luckily my girls don't shrink much when I lose weight, I am lucky to be gifted in that department, Ty God lol.

I also got some new sweaters and jackets. Posting my favorite and best finds. One is a Juicy hoodie that I paid thirty six dollars for at Neiman Marcus on sale:). Love it has bling and is neutral in a heather gray to go with everything. I also got this amazing Michael Kors cream sweater got 48 on sale at Last Call:). It is baggy and looks great with a tank underneath, perfect for the not so cold south Florida weather.

I also found this young, fabulous an broke tie dye skirt that can also be worn as a dress at Marshall's for 24.99 was 150 or more retail. I love it:). I got some Juicy boots similar to Uggs with animal print fur, I love animal print and they also have Juicy in silver sequins across the back, these were 54 at Marshall's and were 98 to start for the Marshall's price and said compare to 179. I have lots of Ugg's but I love juicy everything so I thought these were perfect to wear with my sweats on cool days when I take my girls to school.

I also got some black patent leather Tory Burch logo sandals on eBay for 50 and some cute coral sandals from Marshall's for 14.99. Trying to think of some of my other finds?! I got some cute scarves at Marshall's and a couple for really cheap off eBay. I got a new Michael Kors bag but that wasn't on sale a little good job pat on the back for an amazing month in October gift for me from my amazing man:).

I am also sharing some photos of my new chandelier that hubby hung for me last week, my hand made wreath, centerpiece and front door decor. Also a cornucopia I made myself. You can see some more items I have made on my blog here or my business blog, link is at the top of my page along with at my Etsy store Dlitefulcr8tions. I have a lot of cute winter stuff coming together now that I will be posting in the week to come.

Enjoy my finds and if you have any comments or questions I always love to hear:). If you have a blog please post your link so I can check it out. Have a great week.



Sorry I post from my iPhone a lot and it shuffles photos all different ways. I always try to log on from my iPad or MacBook when I am home to edit that so bare with me:)

My Chandelier Arrived, why it pays to shop around.

I had seen this stunning and different chandelier at a popular store.  It kept popping up, I saw it on a blog I was reading about interior design on HGTV remodel show, It was meant to be.  I went to the website and they were asking close to $400 for it.  It was $369, I think it is on sale now.  I then was on another blog where someone had the same chandelier from the popular store and then wanted another one for another room in her home so she had found one on the amazing Overstock.com.  It was only $174.  I couldn't believe it, looked like the same exact chandelier.

After reading the reviews for both, they both required assembly which I never mind.  I love putting things together and being a fan of Ikea I am use to it lol.  I went online last week to finally order it.  I have a gorgeous bronze 3 light, with frosted glass shade light now that has a leaf design.  When we bought the house I had the upright lamp and table lamp for our living room and I love bronze iron decor so I have lots of pieces with that rustic look all through out the living areas in the main part of our home.  I get tons of compliments for my decor style and how my room has so many different influences but yet all flow together along with warm and colorful paints that all blend.  Since we live in south Florida we have what I call a patio home, it is in the shape of a u and all the room have sliding doors or windows going out to the back patio where we have our pool.   I have actually been in the process of doing my patio moroccan looking with lots of jewel tons, moroccan influenced pillows, poufs and lamps.

Back to my chandelier, it arrived today.  I got it on sale at overstock.com for $150.00, plus shipping costs.  Can't wait to put it together and hang it.  Already moved out the leaf table lamp and looking for a cool bronxe color swing arm floor lamp with a tan shade that matches the shade for my new table lamp.  I am excited cause we got new dinning furniture last summer and this new year are getting new living room furniture.  I already know what I want and it will be special ordered, large sectional with large ottomans that can all be pushed into the center and make one big family tv and movie watching area.  I can't wait.  Been trying to convince hubby of micro fiber or fabric but he is a leather guy so I usually give in and let him get the leather then I pick the color, shape etc.  I know I want a tufted vintage looking chair for the side of the room and maybe a chaise on the sectional.

Below are photos of the original chandelier first from pb.com don't want to spell out the full name cause copyright stuff but want to mention them in the labels cause I did borrow there photos, it is the Bellora chandelier I believe.  If you live in Miami I found the same ones from a store in Miami for $180-$220.  So excited, I am one of those girls that if I didn't live in the rather hot south Florida I would have a chandelier in every room, but hubby won't allow that cause he likes fans, I am however putting one at entry, in my closet, there is one in my daughter's room (small), kids bathroom, eventually my bathroom and we have a broken ceiling fan we never use in family room so hubby is going to move the old one in there and I have ordered some magnetic crystals from online to glam it up.  I have the fireplace tools and some candle floor style holders with the leaf design so the lamps will end up in there or my mom's room.  Let me know what you think of the photos=).  Can you tell the difference.

Also I am sending out contest winner, prizes thursday!  They are all boxed and wrapped up ready to go just have to wait for my post office trip for other items I have sold.  Let me know when everyone gets them and if you like them=).  New contest coming next week with some new polishes, samples and Joby Nail Art Decals.  Have a great week,
