recent purchases & blog love!

no surprise..it's SNOWING AGAIN in nyc/nj ... sighhh. i need sunny weather lol. i have no inspiration at all in weather like this. i love dressing up in the spring/summer...but winter not so much

shoe print in the snow a few weeks ago from my juicy couture boots i got in 06
how do i know they're from 06? it says it on the dangling snowflake (lol)
 i've worn the heckkk out of those babies lol


ANYWAY. i usually don't shop at bebe. it's not that i don't like the store, it's just i really never have a reason to go there lol .. but i was there over the weekend and i found house of harlow jewelry by nicole richie for bebe on sale!

i have been dyyyying to buy house of harlow jewelry since it came out! i was so happy to find it on sale.

 this was regular $59 on sale for $29.99

aaand i had to get these rings too!

the pair was regular $49.00 on sale for $24.99

there was a nice selection left at my local store, so if you love nicole richie's designs as much as i do, i'd recommend heading to your local bebe ASAP because it is no longer available online.

i have received two awards recently and i wanted to showcase them on here! i feel so guilty that it's taken me so long to actually post them, but i didn't want to interrupt the conversation hearts series. I am always very grateful to receive awards - after all, i'm a relatively new blogger and i'm always happy to get some good feedback! :o)

ALSO .. please note, while i did pick specific bloggers to pass the awards on...ALL OF MY READERS are ALL tagged for these awards because you're all awesome in my book. feel free to post it on your blog as well! and let me know if you do.

the first is the Happy 101 Award from imogen @ tia cherie (she actually did a guest post for me, which you can find here) & from betz @ her armoire!

the recipient must:

1. list ten things that make you happy

2. pass it on to ten bloggers

ten things that make me happy

1. seeing something that i've had my eye on hanging up on a sales rack, with my size left.

2. washington dc. i went there for the first time when i was eighteen and fell in love with the city. i left my heart there, dude.

3. target. seriously. not many things make me happier than that place. ...err, well maybe nordstrom rack is a close tie.

4. law related things. i may be the only person on this planet who enjoys reading ussc cases and briefs.

5. beating my seemingly constant writer's block.

6. finding the perfect pair of shoes that are not only stylish but comfy. i think perfect may have already implied stylish and comfy though.

7. getting letters and packages in the mail.

8. baking and cooking. i'm obsessed with smitten kitchen lately. more specifically, BRETZEL ROLLS..which i think should be a requirement for every person to make...all of the time.

9. laughing and being happy, living a good life in general.
