a little update

as i've mentioned, i've been sicky mcsick (clearly i am*still* not in my right mind lololol) the past few days. i really didn't want to take anything, as it feels like a normal cold, so i've been resting (with a snuggie!.. i know i know), eating grapefruits, drinking tea and using vicks vaporub. good times. i just know if i didn't get my flu shot, i would have had a baaad case of the flu. i just feel it lol. this was the first year i actually got one too.

i actually went to work today and roughed it. i think i felt better getting out, but i do looove my sleep. thankfully, i'm off until tuesday and i just have my web course this weekend. thanks for the well wishes!

ANYWAY.

i guess being sick caused me to browse lol.. but here are some recent purchases that i've made:

suede zipper ruffle wedge sandal

found here

i've had my eye on the ella flats from pour la victoire for a while. when i was finally ready to buy them, they were sold out in my size. good thing though. i always see that the fabulous chloe gets some of her shoes from go jane. i browsed on there randomly today and found an inspiration for $15.80! awesome price, especially considering the price of the PLVs. i can't wait to get these!

they also seem to have a few other shoes inspired by PLV...for really good prices. i LOVE the quality of PLV and i can totally justify the money...but it is ALWAYS good to know where to find inspirations instead, especially for really trendy styles!

four leaf clover enamel flower necklace by regina pierallini - nylightmetals

etsy store found here

i've raved about how goregeous these necklaces are. little secret? i'm actually not a big necklace fan...but these are a totally different story. i love wearing my necklaces from her. i wear either my black or white with almost every outfit that i wear and i always get compliments. i ordered a few more necklaces to complete my collection, including the one above. best part? they're only $45 (and they totally look inspired by van cleef & arpels, if not even nicer in my opinion!, which will literally set you back THOUSANDS.) regina is such a talented designer and it is so hard for me not to order everything in her store!

yoga skirted legging
found here

i knew they would either be awesome or a disaster. i'm happy to report that they are awesome. i got the black for christmas and recently ordered the bark (a shade of brown) and the grey - and they're still on sale, in case anyone is interested :o) ... you can really dress these babies up or down! the black is so versatile and the skirt adds a bit of sexiness to the look. i'm happy i went a little out of my comfort zone to try these.

inspired paraty bag

found here

last, but certainly not least is the inspired paraty bag. i'm not the type of girl that loves inspired handbags...especially ones that have inaccurage logos, patterns, etc...but i fell in love with the design of this bag. i like that they don't print the name of the brand anywhere on the bag. i've had my eye on the nutmeg color for aaages. it must have been my lucky day when i checked today, because it was on sale for $19.99! for that price, i snagged the black as well and scored two purses for the price of one (with shipping included in that total!). from what i can tell, it looks like a really nice inspiration bag, especially when i look at the real thing here. and how can you beat that price?!

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR RECENT PURCHASES?
