lazy weekend.

this weekend has been pretty blah. i've opened blogger so many times to write, just to sit here with an empty post for a few minutes and x out. i guess i was feeling a bit uninspired and to be honest i still am a bit.

i ordered some liberty of london items from target last night at 4AM. i've been seeing good reviews on various blogs and twitter so i'm hoping that i love it. JPG did NOTHING for me. i'm totally in love with all of the beautiful floral prints from LOL. the county in nj that i live in has "blue laws" which mean you can't buy clothing/electronics on sundays - aka no target. i could go out of county but there's a lot of damage because of the awful 40-50mph winds and rain we had yesterday...so i'm trying to get to the store tomorrow to look at some stuff in person, as well as hunt down a particular bag i'm looking for as well as a wallet. i'll be sure to do a review once i see things in person.

most of you already know, but for those that don't - forever 21 is offering FREE SHIPPING with any order! use WEMISSYOU10 as the promo code. today is the last day to use it. 

here's what i snagged from the free shipping offer - i made a few separate orders, but i did spend over $75 cominbed...which kind of defeats the purpose of the free shipping code since i'd get free shipping anyway, right? lol


grand elephant necklace
found here

this was the item that i've had my eye on for a while now. i didn't purchase it because i didn't feel like paying shipping on one necklace. needless to say, i immediately took advantage of the free shipping for this super cute necklace! i love anything with elephants. i first fell in love with emily's necklace on cupcakes and cashmere and then was happy to find this alternative from dianna from the budget babe! i also bought this necklace after rai told me about it - so cute!

retro twist cardigan
found here

this was another piece that i found on the budget babe (thanks dianna!). it was actually worn by one of the contestants on american idol. that show is sort of my guilty pleasure and i actually adored the cardigan, so i HAD to get it! i don't own anything like this cardigan, even with the seeming abundance of cardigans in my wardrobe already.

fab pencil knit skirt
found here

i've been looking for the perfect black skirt for a while. i work in a conservative work environment and i can't wear anything too too short. this seems to fit the bill! and for under $6, how could i pass it up?

brushstroke sleeveless tunic
found here

i couldn't make my mind up if i wanted this or not, but i kept going back to the page. i like the detailing and i think it's a unique piece. a bit expensive for f21, but it's silk. i hope it looks as pretty in person!

double banded headband
found here

i've only recently become obsessed with headbands! i couldn't pass this cute headband up for only $1.50! i bought three colors and i also bought this and this in regards to headbands.

bejeweled woven tunic
found here

i originally saw this on erika's blog and fell in love with it. i don't shop at f21 often and i never shop online because i hate paying for shipping (lol). i took advantage of the promo code to snag this! i think i'm going to get a ton of use out of it this spring/summer!

side handle leatherette tote
found here

now, this isn't for me. i've been looking high and low for the perfect bag for my mom's birthday in april. she doesn't like to wear black bags in the summer, so i figure this shade of brown will be perfect for her!

bouquet ruffle dress
found here

i didn't purchase this online but instead in store a few weeks ago. the print is gorgeous! i don't care for the slip underneath the dress, but without it the dress is a bit sheer/see-thru. i think i'll be cutting the slip out and paring it with something else. this is a great f21 find though.

i also made a purchase from anthropologie for the first time EVAHHH and i'm thrilled with my purchase. i'll post a separate entry this week about it! 

DID YOU BUY ANYTHING THIS WEEKEND? DID YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FREE SHIPPING AT FOREVER 21?

You got some cute stuff from F21! lol You already know I placed an order. I had to restrain myself from ordering more.

YAY. I did a major haul at Forever 21, both the Canadian and American sites on Friday (they carry different stuff which is awesome and I have them shipped to my American PO Box and my Canadian apt). But I never spend under 75$ there anyway, so shipping is always free for me.

I almost got the elephant necklace and bejeweled top too. The dresses unfortunately are nothing more than tops on my body so I can't buy them anymore.

I used to shop online (hate going into the actual stores) twice a month there but this was the first time buying anything since November. I got a lot of basics though, nothing too interesting (I can't STAND wearing something that everyone else has, so I tend to buy non-descript things at F21 :P)

That brushstroke tunic is gorgeous... I bought mine in black (as usual) and I really love it.

The ruffled dress is so pretty... perfect for spring.

Have a great day! xoxo

Beth said...

Thanks so much for the sweet comment. The rings were easy-peasy to make =)
Also, I'm dying over that cardigan.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend! ♥

i think that elephant trunk is best people dye to buy those kind of stuff in india

Romany said...

I've always been too terrified to shop online - things are at risk of not fitting correctly, and I'll worry I've wasted my money... :-/
But that elephant necklace is so gorgeous, maybe I'll give it a shot now, haha!

Great pieces you picked out! I love elephant necklace & I also remember the "Tetris" shirt on Erika's blog :) I use to work a few blocks away from the F21 in NYC Herald's Square area. It was massive! I would alway major damage on paycheck days ;o)

I'm shocked that I went to Liberty of London yesterday and forgot to check out the pop up LOL for Target shop. Got totally sidetracked... (and yes, I did buy something, an Vivienne Westwood Anglomania dress).

I managed to buy a few fabulous pieces at Forever 21 just last night - literally an hour before the free shipping code expired. I bought a Love 21 peasant top, a panda ring, and chambray/denim tailored shorts with a brown woven belt. Oh, how I adore free shipping!! Loving your elephant necklace, by the way - tres cute. I have a Forever 21 ring that matches it perfectly!! :)
