Accessory cents

There is a few things outside of, of course my family that I love. I love to bake, decorate and interior design, photography, writing, reading, shopping and fashion. I'm very passionate when it comes to shopping, I have champagne but on a beer budget for sure. I try to pick up new stylish pieces for my wardrobe weekly and am a huge fan of outlets, Marshall's, TJ Maxx, clearance racks and EBay. I absolutely refuse to splurge on anything at the retail price, occasionally for my birthday or holidays my amazing husband buys me things, he doesn't shop around so he will splurge and buy something that is not on sale but usually I make a wish list along with places to go or sale details.

I love accessories, from purses, shoes, hair stuff like pins, clips, bands etc, and jewelry. I never was one to wear earrings specially big ones but I started making my own a few years ago and since I love earrings. I was always into silver, white gold or platinum I actually sold a lot of my yellow gold years ago and even traded in my old wedding ring for a platinum one because gold wasn't my thing. As of recent I have fallen in love with rose gold and even some yellow gold. I like to buy a lot of custom and fun jewelry that isn't necessarily real but I also like to have some real pieces to one day give my daughters.

When I get dressed, even if it is a casual day of running errands and taking my kids to school I enjoy putting together my outfits. I'm OCD so I match and coordinate everything from my shoes, to my handbag and even my jewelry. To be honest I got into gold because I got a purse with gold accents and I have a watch with rose gold, that turned into needing to have jewelry of course that matched .

I recently have picked up some cute pieces I wanted to share. I love Michael Kors, Tiffany's, Juicy Couture, Tory Burch, and other designers for cute accessories. I also love places like Claire's, Forever 21, Charlie's, White House Black Market and even TJ Maxx or Kohl's for cute necklaces etc.

My favorites have been my toggle Michael Kors necklace and bracelets, they match this watch I absolutely love, hoping to get it for mother's day actually. I also love my Tory Burch circle logo drop earrings, necklace and small logo earrings I got off EBay recently. I found a seller in Las Vegas that has amazing authentic pieces at super great deals:). Love, love, love everything she sells. From designer jewelry to handbags.

My next purchase will be a Tory Burch purse, I have a small one but want to get a matching wallet and purse in a bigger size I can carry daily to match my shoes and jewelry. The OCD makes it hard for me to wear Tory Burch jewelry and shoes with a Michael Kors bag lol. I do it don't get me wrong but I need a black purse to go with everything.

Below are some photos of some jewelry pieces and my new MK orange tangerine Hamilton tote I had in lay away at Marshall's and picked up this week:). Love Marshall's. I will go online with my laptop or iPad later so I can go under each photo and put designer name then where the pieces were purchased. I like to share that info in case you are like me and google items looking for deals or tips where to find at best prices.

Enjoy my photos and love to hear feedback or your thoughts:). Julep box preview for April is coming tonight so stay tuned and Ipsy along with Birchbox have been shipped so I will have those next week at the latest. Have a great rest of the week:).

Happy shopping,

MK, Chanel and Fossil finds

I got a couple items via the mail today. I found a great site that you can order pre owned high end jewelry, purses and shoes. Not a fan of pre owned shoes but a gently used purses or still new jewelry got to love it. I got a Chanel charm with white gold chain, tags and box included.

Then my eBay purchases are starting to trickle in. I actually have bid on some gorgeous items. I can't wait to get my rose gold pendant charm necklace from MK and the heart silver pave crystal necklace also from MK. I decided that I will get my watch after vacation once I get my orange purse off layaway and order my new gray bed. I don't want to order that offbeat or used.

Today I got a brown fossil watch that has the big face almost like a boyfriend style watch, retails for $135 paid $40 with shipping. I have wanted a brown watch for awhile because I wear a lot of browns and neutral colors thy brown would look amazing with.

I also got my first MK jewelry piece I ordered from eBay. I canceled two items after reading reviews that the person was selling fakes or knockoffs. This bracelet came with tag and seller had copy of her sales receipt. Retailed for $65 got it for $30. Love it and matches my Tiffany silver pearls:).

I have two necklaces from MK coming one silver with locks and the other gold and tortoise with locks and toggle closure. I had ordered the rose gold bracelet but that was the one other buyers said was fake. I also had a bid in on the matching wallet for my orange tangerine Michael Kors purse but lost. I saw one I love at the outlet. Price got ridiculous high so bowed out. Enjoy my photos and I have some clothes to post photos of soon. STOL waiting for someone to take pics for me. I have found some super cute designer dresses, tops and jeans/capris for amazing deals. Can't wait to show you but hate doing mirror self shots. Got to purchase a tripod that I can set up to do pics of outfits.

Monday I start a cleanse diet I can't wait to share with all of you. My cousin told me about it. A lot of fruits, veggies and water but hoping, because the cleanse says you can lose between 10-15 pounds in ten days that I will reach my goal weight for my height then when I return from vacation I start training weights at my boxing gym with a personal trainer who has trained alot of celebrities when he worked in south beach. My girlfriend has trained with him and in 8 weeks is looking amazing. Just want to reach my goal weight. I am so close. I don't want to be as thin as I was two years ago I think skinny is not cute at my age. I was a size 0-2 and my 13 year old is that size looks cute on her but I'm a woman lol. A size 4 is skinny to me now. I'm 5'8 so 130-135 is the skinny end for my height I'm so close. I actually was at 140 and a size 6 but my work out buddy is in vacation then hubby was walking with me and I was doing two to three box fit classes which is similar to cross fit but with cross fit style warm up then boxing, kickboxing and muay Thai which kicks my butt. Done some spinning, yoga and this cool new workout where you do different workouts for 15 minutes then switch and do it in a group. It is fun and thinking of maybe joining. Will have more details soon on this, I think it is pretty awesome.

Enough about that next week I will post the cleanse diet and then some more details. I took before pics back in August, then October when I joined gym then every month since gym, you can really see the changes. Honestly I want to be toned and strong not skinny and thin this time. I think strong is for sure the new sexy. Happy early St. Patty's day and have some green beers tomorrow. I will have a post I'm sure we always go to the same Irish local bar every year and party with my girlfriend who also went to school and grew up with my hubby, her and I have been good friends for 14 years now and her mom, sister and neighbors all go it's great times. Good night to all.
