Fall boot trends for less

Hey y'all got one of my original style blog posts from back when I started this blog when I was working as a teachers aid and starting my own business as an interior designer, event party planner/ decor and cakes. I had champagne taste on a beer budget and my passion for fashion was just like it is now. I wanted all the latest trends and styles I was seeing online, worn by celebs, bloggers, in all the magazines, on the runways, on my favorite online shops or designer sites. I love accessories and like anything in fashion I always invest in a few staple pieces for each season that are designer, brand name or high end labels, but then I have such a huge passion for fashion I always want multiple styles, colors and so on. That's when I hunt for looks for less so I have all the colors, materials, and styles I love. I only wear them a few times a week, the staple expensive pieces I wear as often as I can sometimes daily.  Also keep in mind I have a teen daughter and we wear same size in shoes and even most clothing. 

I love accessories if it's purses, I love to have small, medium and large bags. Different colors, materials, leather, suede, fringe, buckles, studs, cross body, bucket, totes, you name it. I have an amazing purse collection thanks to my hubby, he always buys me designer bags for gifts, I have splurged and bought myself some but usually my hubby buys me the more expensive stuff because I tend to always feel guilty spending on myself. I don't mind carrying a purse or hand bag from Forever 21, Old Navy, Wet Seal, Jessica Buurman, Asos and other similar stores. Lots of shops carry look a likes that are hard to tell the difference at a glance and I have to have different styles, multiple colors sometimes, and sizes. It's a lot easier when you are buying a bag to wear with a few looks for under $50 or sometimes even as low as $5-8 versus investing 250-3500 on just one bag. I carry my everyday bag which right now my everyday bag is a black medium Celine tote. I have Michael Kors, Coach all leather bags, Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs, Burberry, Chloe, Louis Vuitton, Spell and the Gypsy, Miscellaneous totes, clutches and wristlets by lots of brands or from online shops and my recent bag was a gift and will be here soon, it's a Gucci purse with a floral print. Of course the color I wanted was in stock in stores. I got it as my 18 year wedding anniversary gift and I didn't ask for it, I showed my hubby a similar bag I liked a couple months ago minus the floral, then a friend recently got a small version of the bag and I showed it to him, he didn't like the first striped bag from months ago but he did like the floral bag. He surprised me with a photo and gift receipt for the bag and is expected September 28 - October 10. I will post when it arrives till then here are the ones I was trying to decide on. Not going to say which one he got me or if even the same print, color, size or style

Is even in the photo, okay maybe it is. Lol. 

All photos from Gucci look books and online Google search.

Onto a brand of shoes I discovered last winter, I saw a pair of strappy ankle boots at Free People and was saving when I decided to check eBay, Mercari, online shops and boutiques then Poshmark. I found them all over eBay that looked almost identical, colors weren't as vintage looking and of course not real leather but I have so many boots and shoes. Once I found the brand it took me some time searching for my size and then couldn't find the brown I wanted but got a dark grey almost brown shade at Sophie May's boutique. The Free People pair were around $200 give or take a few bucks these were around $29.99-39.99 depending on color and site. 

I settled for the dark grey but loved them so much, I kept an eye on some on eBay and once they had brown I ordered them. I don't really need boots, I live in Florida where it is hot and summer like year round, but I own over 20 pairs of ankle boots, mid boots, tall boots, cowboy boots, leather, suede, perforated, peep toe, fringe & rain boots. Then have taupe, grey, tan, brown, black, grey, rust, navy and army green. 

Then when I saw these boots I had been wanting a pair of Jeffrey Campbell boots. My favorite boot designers/brands are Freebird by Steve Madden, Spell Designs, Free People always has many styles I love, Frye, Hunter boots, Steve Edelman and of course Jeffrey Campbell. I was thrilled to see the Jeffrey Campbell style minus the silver toe accent and almost bought them multiple times. Imagine my surprise when I found some even better matches.

Above are the Jeffrey Campbell's Cromwell. Photo is from google search Nordstrom.

Get Free Shipping for limited time if you use my link above on any shoes BEFREE at ZooShoo, must use above link also you can save $10 0ff $40 or more order using my exclusive link.

Same brand as my strappy sandals above Mi.iM and only $45. They are almost exact and waiting paid off they have the silver tip toe I love. These are my style for sure. Perfect for my edgy rocker look with torn jeans and graphic or band tee shirts, then with my boho chic skirts with tees, off the shoulder or peasant style tops  and dresses. Like the purses I mentioned above, as long as it is not an exact replica with logo I love a great look alike.  I have also seen blush have them in my cart but these black ones will arrive Monday. Can't wait, and found some other gems on the collage below. Ordered 3 pairs total and of course new FreeBird boots by Madden. 

Other styles by Mi.iM I love and for the record I splurged for fall/winter on new Hunters and my daughter purchased some stylish combat boots after destroying the black ones I got on clearance at TJ Maxx last year. Love the pair she got this year better. Benefits we wear same size. Double the accessories for us both. Love that for sure. 

These are all my faves. As you can see the black silver pointed toe, open ankle boots are also in blush. More cool styles, I love straps, buckles, studs, fringe and lots of boho chic or edgy rocker details or embellishments. 

Okay I lost my first post I started at two am when my phone died and usually Jr. will save as a draft but it didn't. I spent a a lot of time writing that post, was more detailed and all. Was super upset but now save the post every paragraph lol. It's 4 am here and I need sleep I'm sick then just run down from a long few weeks. Tomorrow is a bum day for me. Did all my laundry between party, company and football. Sad FSU lost but we will still be ranked not #2 but fingers crossed in top 10 in the polls. 

Everyone enjoy and have a wonderful Sunday Sunday, hope your weekend has been amazing. We have had a fabulous weekend here other then being sick. Bless you all. Peace, love and light xoxo  

Where to shop:

Ft. Worth fun fashion, Texas

Hey y'all, hope everyone is having a fab week. I know we are having a blast. Vacation has been amazing and Texas is awesome. I love the vintage and antique stores. Amazing bohemian, country, southwest, gypsy and hippie inspired apparel, home decor and more. It's just awesome plus all the wild life. We have a pack of deer that come to the yard every night at dusk then the neighbor breeds horses so we get to visit with them every morning when we wake and afternoon or evening when we return. They have babies along with the deer, which are cute to watch play. My girls and of course my hubby and I are really happy with our choice of rental properties. 

Today we are off to the safari, Texas style and then to the Ft. Worth nature preserve to see some Bison. Yesterday we hit the Ft. Worth stockyards and did some shopping, saw cattle and enjoyed some real Texas BBQ. Amazing. 

Real quick while I was in the car wanted to do a post to share some of my favorite vacation shots along with some cute vacation fashion... 

Today wearing my bargain find, "Go climb a Cactus" graphic tank from Wet Seal. Paid $6 for this fab find.

Bracelets are by Lacey Ryan from Maurices.com. Then wearing two of my Live Lokai bracelets. The classic and camo for WWF. 

Last night after a long shower to clean up from a hot day, temps reached 103 felt like 120 lol, I ended up in my faithful VS pink sweats. These are the embroidered logo boyfriend sweats in blue. The graphic tank I got in New Orleans at the original Peaches records. Love my graphic tanks and tees, also got a distressed Rolling Stones lyric tank there, then I have gotten several other aweome tees and tanks which you will see soon. 

Yesterday went with a graphic tee I bought on Etsy, the shop is called Wooden Arrow shop, you can find the sweet Christie's shop Instagram page, which has a link to her Etsy shop in her bio @wooden.arrow.shop. She makes some amazing jewelry, embroidered hand stitched decorative hoops and awesome vintage finds. Be sure to check out her shop and follow her on IG. I started stocking up on cute Texas and desert style graphic tops back after Christmas. Always have loved the deer and cattle skull or antler style tees and tops but really started getting in to buffalo while planning our trip to Texas. Found this perfect tee while purchasing some decorative pieces for my bedroom. Couldn't pass it up. Was my third buffalo tee, got my first at Urban Outfitters and then one over spring break in NC. 

Paired this tee with some Silver Jeans, Suki model shorts. You can find these at www.silverjeans.com and will add link for exact shorts soon. I got mine from Buckle along with the necklace because I had a gift card. Bracelets again are Lacey Ryan, her IG is @laceyryaninc or you can find some pieces at www.maurices.com just search Lacey Ryan and her site is www. Laceyryan.com. Love all her piece because they can be mixed and matched then stacked with lots of other style bracelets. The quality is also amazing and the designer is so sweet, inspiring and talented. Make sure to show her some love❤️.

Hot summer looks for less

         

Summer looks for Less..

     I have always loved to share bargains and deals with my readers. I know my favorite part of shopping is saving money. Who doesn't love to save money?  I love to save money on any items I can so I can splurge on others. I am always seeing cute pieces I love and have always made sure instead of ordering on impulse as soon as I find a cute style or look, instead to take the time to surf the web and look around for similar or same styles for less. My first spot I hit is always eBay. I have found some of the best deals ever on eBay. Usually the items are brand new but on occasion I have found lightly used items for way less than new. Usually 50-75% or more savings.

   I use to do a weekly post taking tv shows or soaps I watched then posting some of my favorite fashions from those shows and trying finding the same items or  something comparable for a everyday person like myself who doesn't have tons of money or unlimited budgets. I always like to call those fashion finds, designer deals, looks for less or style steals. You can find some old posts here on my blog. 

    This week I was looking to finish up my summer shopping with adding a few more cute graphic tops, tees or tanks for my upcoming trip to New Orleans and Texas, some cute boyfriend or destroyed denim shorts or cropped jeans, cute skirts and some peasant style dresses. I started my hunt on eBay and found several items I loved. Including a few peasant dresses from $5-18, was super excited to find a chicwish peasant style dress I have seen on other blogs this week for $30 in my size, I had tried to order direct because they had a great sale and their prices are usually awesome but they were sold out of my size. 

                                     

Photo from Ebay.com.

    The above dress was $10 with shipping made by Forever 21. Can't wait to wear this on vacation. It is similar to the chicwish dress I ordered. Only difference is the style of the dress, this is more of a peasant style dress and the Chicwish dress was more of a babydoll cut dress.  I also found a cute cropped cardigan in blue that matches a lot of these white gauze style dresses with the blue stitching. The dress above stitching looks more navy blue than the porcelain blue I have seen on a lot of the embroidered pieces I have purchased but I have some navy cardigans I am sure lol. 

      I also have been eyeing a pretty kimono that was retailing for $27-35 on some online shops and found it on eBay for $4.99 can't wait to receive it, the colors are gorgeous and great for summer. This can be worn many ways, as a beach coverup, over tanks and tees or over a pretty summer dress.

Fashion Finds and Style Steals..

     We all know I love graphic tees and tanks, I occasionally will splurge and spend a little extra money on a cute tee if it's something unique and one of a kind but I always look around for the same designer on eBay discounted or a lot of times you can find the exact same tee or tank maybe the style is slightly different or the graphic is a little different but same idea for way less. 

                                              

                 Above photo is from           

                RebeccaMinkoff.com

    A great example is this cute white tank by Rebecca Minkoff that retails for over $50. I love beach saying graphic tanks and tee shirts for the summer, I broke down and bought this tank but returned it after receiving it because it was a little big and was having buyers remorse. I loved the saying and had to take a look online to see if a similar style was being sold online. Sure enough... 

                                   

Sun of A Beach Tank

I found the above tank on Wetseal.com and on sale for $15 plus had a promo code to get free shipping and 10% off my first online purchase. Sure the style of the tank is different, the Rebecca tank was longer in length and more of a muscle cut tank, but the graphic is the same.  To me that was what attracted me to the tank to begin with, when shopping for fun summer graphic tees and tanks I wanted ones with cute beach sayings or quotes.  I will update once this items arrives or have a new post featuring all these items.  All I know is that by returning that one tank I was refunded over $60 with shipping and tax, with that money I was able to go from buying one tank to three tops, two Machine jean shorts, a pair of jeans, pencil skirts and some accessories.  To me that was way worth the savings and the tank hopefully will fit good, it has the same exact graphic so it should be a perfect replacement.  Stay tuned..

    I found several items on their site that are comparable to and the same as many items I had wanted for way less. 

                                           

I had seen this, "Go climb a cactus" tank on several sites for $20-30 and I paid $6.40 after sale price and discount. I also got the machine denim jean shorts in white and blue for $10 and $15 plus 10% off. I got a cute skirt (popular white and black skirt) and a stylish dress also. Once everything arrives next week I will be sure to post on my new Instagram fashion page I started @Cr8tiveFashionWanderlust. Be sure to follow for my daily ootd posts and finds. 

                                         

Tank photo from Ebay listing.

I found this awesome white muscle style tank for $10 on eBay. These have been retailing for $20-35 online in boutiques and shops. With eBay if you see an item I found that you are interested in purchasing yourself please comment below or message me on Instagram I will send you a link for the shop if it's an item they stock regularly, sometimes it's a one item bid and if I win it they don't have more, like the dress I won above, but this tank is something they stock in all sizes. 

I also have some other items I am bidding on now I will share later in the week, along with my Wetseal purchase, JCrew purchase and ordered several cute pieces from Forever 21 online because I had found a couple items in store but they didn't have my size. When this happens I just order online. I am done with summer shopping, once my final bids on eBay end and my items arrive, I think I said that before but this time I mean it. Got myself and my daughters a lot of super cute stuff for our vacation and the rest of the summer. I will be taking a break from shopping since my closet is bursting at the seams and won't be buying anymore new items till august for the fall and winter. 

I can't wait to share all the new cute items I ordered along with some cute pieces I am receiving from some of my favorite online shops, I have a few shops sending me pieces to review for my blog and post on my social media to share with my readers and followers. Excited because a couple are surprises I don't know for sure what they are sending and that is always exciting. I had shared a bohemian definition tee a couple weeks ago from Boho Circus and the lovely ladies contacted me when responding to a question I had sent them on etsy along with a photo of how I styled their tee and they informed me they would be sending me a tee or tank, I can't wait should arrive this week. Also met a lovely lady on etsy who makes her own tee shirts and has some amazing and super cute styles that is going to be sending me some new styles to share with all my readers as well. 

Thank you for passing by to check out my post. Please feel free if there is an item you love and you are looking for at a bargain price or deal to contact me. Either email me or send me a photo through Instagram dm or comment below leaving your contact info and I will do my best to find it for you. I don't mind helping, my best friend lives in NC and the other two are one in PA and the other in KY when ever they want to buy something they always send me photos and I search for deals for them. I have found $165 jeans for $30 on eBay like new and designer tops that retail for $60/80 online and found them for 20-30 on eBay also. Sometimes I find them new or lightly used and I also find similar looks for less, may not be the exact brand but you would never know if I didn't tell you. I am always happy to help. 

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and here is to happy bargain shopping and deal hunting. Xoxo ✌️❤️

Spring trends for 2015

Last night super late I was inpsired to post a article about Spring and Summer fashion trends for 2015, it was late and I was posting from my iphone, I appologize for typos and rambling.  I blog for fun, because I love fashion, am passionate about finding trends for less, and I love to share my finds with others.  To note quickly I am not a writer nor have I ever claimed to be one, I am a stay at home mom who has a lot of passions, creativty and enjoys sharing things with others.  On that note, let me retype this article for you, I can not promise there won't be any typos because my iphone and ipad have a mind of their own but I almost always read over my posts before I publish them, or if late at night the following day.  Thank you all for your patience and kindness.

I was reading some articles and online posts about the passed runway shows for Spring 2015.  I was so excited to see so many styles, trends and pieces I either own or love for the upcoming season that I was inpsired to put together this post.  I have a fondness for bohemian style trends and this Spring bohemian style is huge.  From bohemian prints, fringe, tassels, kimonos, layers, suedes, denims and more.  I recently have added a few new pieces that I think are on point for the upcoming season.  Below I am sharing a few of my favorite pieces and will have some posts coming up with these pieces styled into my personal wardrobe.

Bohemian. 

This super cute tunic, babydoll dress is popular online right now.  It is available in several prints, colors amd styles.  I have two myself, the above black and cream with tassel tie neck line, I purchased off Ebay, along with a cream and brown tone one from Fashion Junkee.  You can find a link to their online store in my sidebar under favorite shops. These retail for $27-45 each and are super cute worn as a dress with tall boots or gladiator style sandals, as well as with cropped leggings as a top or tunic with strappy sandals.

Crochet or lace detail cardigans and kimonos are hot. This Umgee cardigan is available on eBay. 

Floral long bohemian style dresses are super hot for spring and found this one below inexpensive on eBay. 

Looks like it would cost a lot but is actually selling for $7.99 plus $7.99 for shipping. Amazing price. You can wear a light weight tank or cami under this with even some cropped leggings. Super cute and an awesome dress for your spring closet. 

Crochet detail again for that bohemian feel. This item is from Fashion Junkee at www.fashionjunkee.com

Mixed prints and solids are hot for spring. This long maxi wrap dress has a solid top, chevron skirt with printed bottom. I have found mixing textures and patterns to be a lot of fun, great for layering or for distracting the eye to keep focus off one area of the body for those of us who are self conscious of certain problem areas. This cute dress above was found on eBay and priced at $34.95. I will be posting some photos of myself in some of these pieces as I wear them. If you don't already follow me on Instagram check out my IG page I try to post ootd's and wiw now shots whenever I remember. 

Super cute black and white striped tunic with floral detail. From Mindy Mae's Market. Love tunics because you can wear them as a short spring dress or as a shirt with leggings and even skinny jeans. This is a super cute shop and you can find a link in my sidebar or go to www.mindymaesmarket.com. 

Lace and fringe 

Lace and crochet tops are hot this spring 

Fringe and suede both rocked the runways of many high end designers. 

I love long necklaces with feathers and different earthy style charms, from ivory style horns, shells pieces and stones. 

Long fringed detail dress off the runway. Photo from an online spring fashion review by Vogue. Wanted to show how many of the pieces this spring off the runways are rocking fringe or tassel  details which are all very popular with the bohemian style of dressing. 

Simple ivory cardigan with lace detail found on eBay for under $10. I have many kimonos and cardigans to layer over tanks, tees and dresses. One can never have to many great layering pieces. 

Gingham and denim tops or dresses/tunics 

Gingham is another hot item this season whether a dress, top or skirt. 

These are from Mindy Mae's market online and they have light pink and dark pink 

Along with my personal favorite gold gingham, also from Mindy Mae's Market

www.mindymaesmarket.com. I am excited to order a couple of these for an upcoming post. 

Fashion Junkee denim two tone tunic dress with tassel belt. Denim is huge this spring from vests, jackets, tops, skirts and of course dresses. Another hot style is the button dress shirt. Looks like your man's favorite button down but add a belt or sash then you have a cute stylish dress. Again for those who don't like to wear super short styles you throw on a pair of leggings or even skinny jeans you still have a super cute, trendy look for spring. 

Sticking with the dress shirt style tunic here is another hot item from Fashion Junkee. They also have a lot of hot kimonos, cardigans, tops and dresses that are all trendy for spring/summer 2015. Be sure to tell them you saw their site on my blog. If you have IG follow them @fashionjunkeedotcom. 

Another fringed floral kimono, I don't think one can have to many cardigans or kimonos for any season as I mentioned above and this floral number is amazing over stylish tee shirts or tanks. Even as a cover up to the beach this summer with cut off shorts. 

Suede was huge on the runways for spring, and  fringe as I mentioned above this skirt I found on eBay with fringe bottom detail would be perfect for the season.  

Hope you enjoyed some of my late night finds. A lot of these items are items I have on my wishlist from several shops or in my cart or watch list on eBay, I have ordered many of them already or will be ordering them soon. I will be posting some of the pieces in upcoming posts also you can see a lot of them on my Instagram if you follow me. My IG name is @cr8tivemamarazzi. Please be sure to look over some of my older posts which I have posted many of my favorite tee shirts and styles that I have worn, I may have some similar pieces already posted here. Enjoy and happy spring shopping.

This is the same style bohemian tunic from above but in a brown shade with button details. Has a little tribal feel with the red and colorful section on the top front and back portion. 

Had a couple people tell me they would like to see more photos of myself wearing the clothes versus photos from the shops or online, I don't own every style I select or I haven't worn them all yet. I try to post my outfit of the day or what I am wearing now on my Instagram, along with adding shots weekly here. I would link my Instagram but have photos of my kids and other things that don't have anything to do with the blog topics. Thank you all for you kind words and support. Hope that this article is better then my late night post. Again I don't have my laptop currently and I am using I am my iPhone and the mobile blogging site but I will do my best to read over my posts before publishing for future typos. Have a great weekend. Xoxo, 

Happy New Year, winter style shots

Happy new year to all. Sorry been gone for a couple months took a break to spend some time with my family and prepare for the holidays. Even though I have taken a brief break from then blog still been busy finding some cute fashion deals and enjoying playing with some different style for the winter season. 

I recently have purchased many new items online and in stores on sale. Old Navy, H&M , Urban Outfitters and Anthro to name a few of my favorite stores have had some amazing after holiday sales. I was super excited to finally find an amazing quilted puffer jacket with fur trimmed hoodie for $20 from H&M, scooped up some J Crew quilted vests in pin strip, and camo, had the herringbone but sold it recently on eBay. Got a few cute sweaters, a jacket, vest and other cute items on sale from Old Navy. Target had some super cute boots I got back in the fall on sale for $24.99 in cognac, they lace up and have a mid heel. I also found a tall black pair with buckles on sale for 24 this passed week. All the stores are starting to mark down boots and winter clothes here. My mom got my little one the cutest pair of black boots for $10 at walmart. They have a little heel and super cute straps with buckle. 

Also added some new cute graphic tees to my collection, rocked some older flannels and sweaters, some new jeans I love by Machine denim. Of course my regular  favorites by Vigoss, Miss Me, Hudson and lucky brand to name a few. Love layering and wish I had cooler weather where I live but we have yet to have many cool fronts this season. As I type this the temperature is dropping here but not suppose to get that cold. 

Quickly going to post a few photo collages of some of my outfits from the month of November and December, along with some recent purchases either I ordered online or scooped up in store while returning items from the holidays. Found a super cute lace trim sweater online from Utban Outiftrers in black and olive green then found a similar one at Marshall's for $19.99, it is a cable knit sweater with lace trim and grabbed that in cream first then found a pink color this week. 

Enjoy the photos and I will update this post tomorrow with all the details for the photos, for what I am wearing, brands, stores to find them and deals. Hope everyone had an amazing holiday and New Years. I am excited to be updating the look of the blog, plus I will have more winter styles, deals and spring finds coming soon. 

Wish the best for everyone in 2015,

Some cute graphic tees I have been wearing. Like to layer for the cooler months with cardigan, button down chambray or flannel tops and kimono style, open front tops. 

Top left is from Target and is my first spring purchase, it's a cute long romper that is strapless and I layered with a yellow cardigan also from target.  Next to it was my Christmas Eve outfit, kept it comfortable and simple with a Marshall's sweater and leggings, the bottom left is a simple black tee from Old Navy and this cute Lucky Brand Aztec style cardigan, my mom purchased me for Christmas. Love it. Then next to that is my eBay find tassel, kimono that I got for &10. 

Been wearing sweaters when ever the weather drops the slightest, some u have had for awhile. The top left and bottom left sweater is a loose knit, off the shoulder white sweater I have from Kohls and purchased last winter, I paired it with Machine ripped jeans and a simple white tank top. I got a lot of comments and likes on my Instagram for this outfit. Very comfy and not to warm for those Florida winter days. Top right was the lace and cream sweater I mentioned in my post above, I found this at Marshall's and was only $19.98 , paired with lucky brand jeans also from Marshall's. Bottom right is another old sweater I got last winter from Marshall's and paired with some skinny jeans by Seven denim. I have been wearing a lot of leg warmers and talk socks with boots this season also. I will post a entry soon with my socks, leg warmers, leggings and boots. 

Top left and right along with bottom left is a outfit I threw together for holiday shopping and a end of the school year party before Christmas break. The sweater is a cable knit Michael Kors sweater I purchased on eBay last winter, paired with Vigoss jeans, cream lace trim leg warmers and talk, brown leather, Guess boots. In the evening it was a little cold here so grabbed out my Tory Burch brown leather jacket to keep warm.  Bottom right is a simple pair of holiday leggings, and a warm oversized, black sweatshirt. Both items purchased from a online boutique I follow on Facebook called 2Chicksandacause. They donate some of the proceeds to a set foundation or fund every month. Love when some of my money goes to a good cause. 

More graphic tees I love, top left was my Good Vibes only tee from Mulberry Press Co, next to it a new tee I got in October from Pebby Forevee. Love it and worn it several times, has a off the shoulder cut look and love the saying, it's a John Muir quote, "The mountains are calling and I must go". Excited because the mountains have been calling and we are going. Bottom left is from Be Still Clothing and is my camo be still and know tee. I believe I have posted this before. One of t favorites, love the camo print tee with white font.  Bottom right is a tee I found from a shop on eBay that makes tons of cute graphic tees and tops, it is a forest green unisex tee with, check your ego amigo. Saw it and had to order. 

Top two sweaters are old sweaters I have had for awhile, both are from Express. I love stripes every time I look through my closet I laugh and tell myself no more stripes. The bottom left is a outfit from Old Navy, a simple white tee, flannel and jeans. Bottom right is from the FB boutique mentioned above, 2chicksandacause and it's a vest, with Aztec print. Their prices are great. Ordered a sherpa jacket, this vest, oversized cream sweater with a black heart, some leggings, black sweatshirts, boot cuffs and Aztec legwarmers all from them and was an amazing price. All the items fit amazing, super cute and well made. Highly recommend.

Aztec brown and cream leg warmers, and cream lace trim leg warmers. The Aztec ones I got from the FB boutique, then got the cream ones off eBay, also got my little one a pair, and grabbed myself several colors since the price was so amazing. When ever I see something super cute online but it isn't priced kind of high, I always check eBay. The leggings, leg warmers, boot cuffs, fingerless gloves, scarves and even kimonos have all been found on eBay for a fraction of the cost in online boutiques. I love to support small businesses and independtly owned businesses with an original or handmade item but sometimes being a stay at home mom that has her own small business, I need to look for a deal or bargain.  Then bottom right is my old navy haul, just a glimpse. I got four sweaters, three tank tops, button down plaid shirt, striped quilted vest and navy coat. Amazing sale after Christmas. 

Last of all another glimpse of my John Muir quoted tee from Pebby Forevee, love the cut and style of this tee. Machine jeans and then Marshall's sweater in pink with lace trim. 

I will update and edit this post tomorrow. Sorry for any typos but been wanting to post all week, been under the weather due to flu season. A lot of new things to come in home decor and design. In the process of remodeling kids rooms. Got the paint and bedding along with some accents an decor pieces. Will have before and after shots hopefully but will have after photos for sure. Also painting bathroom and hallway, hangjng chandeliers and art so lots to come. Again hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and holiday along with a very happy new year!
