This Just In

New in My Closet

I shop a lot! I know that some people (mainly my husband!) think that is ridiculous to constantly shop, but I disagree. For one, I like to find sales and bargains. Whether it be for household decor, or a new addition to my closet (which most of the time it is lol!), in most cases I cannot pass up a good deal. That does not mean I am not up for the occasional splurge, but I love a good sale! I tend to spend high on staple pieces and classics and low on trendy items that may not make it from one season to the next. Anyway, I wanted to share with my blog friends some of the recent additions to my ever growing closet and get your opinion and feedback on my purchases. Some of these items I have had for a while but have not worn, and some are recent purchases. Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.

Alexander Wang Rocco Duffle (Pebbled Leather) in Cayenne

I had been eyeing this particular bag for quite sometime. I even searched eBay trying to find a reasonably priced one that was in good condition. I watched this bag and watched it waiting for the right time to purchase. That day finally came during the cyber Monday sales after Thanksgiving last year. I was browsing saks.com to see what they had that interested me and I stumbled upon this particular bag. I attempted to place the order but the site crashed. I called customer service and was told that the site would be back up within a few hours. Later that day I attempted to place the order again and much to my dismay this bag was not available! I was a little bummed out but I decided to order it in a light grey color that was also on sale. Once again when I attempted to place this order the website crashed. This time when I called customer service a nice representative offered to place the order for me. 

To my delight the bag that I originally wanted was available and I was able to purchase it. This time without any problems! Although I have not carried this particular bag yet I am completely in love with it! Because of the detail on the bottom of the bag and  the quality of the leather the bag is a tad bit heavy but I am pretty used to carry bags that are heavy (I own a Celine' phantom tote and a few other heavy bags and I always stuff my bags to capacity so it is a workout just to carry them lol!) so this is not a major issue for me. I plan on carrying this bag soon and I know that it will gets lots of wear.

 Sorry for the long story but I just cannot believe my luck in scoring this bag for almost half off the original price. That's right, all told with the cyber Monday discounts and an additional discount that I received the bag was close to 50% off the original price! What a lucky lady I am.

 Shoe Mint Abi Black Leather Booties

These boots are so cute, comfy, and I got them for a great price! I have been a member of shoe mint for sometime now and heard good things about them but just decide to make my first recently. I browsed the site and came across the booties and it was love at first site! The boots only cost me $31.99! They are real leather and for the price are an excellent buy in my opinion. The pointed toe and stilleto heel  are a classic style that can be worn for years to come. I am really glad that I was able to add these to my shoe collection.

 Jessica Simpson Adeni and Vince Camuto Kain pointed toe pumps

I talked about these Jessica Simpson pumps in a previous post and of course when I saw them on sale I had to snatch up a few pair for myself. I purchased them in the burgundy suede and also the grey patent leather. At only $31 I could not resist getting a few pair as I am currently obsessed with pointed toe pumps. They are very comfortable (well as comfortable as heels can be I guess) and can be paired with almost any outfit. I also picked up the Vince Camuto pumps for $31. That seems to be my lucky number when finding shoes on sale lol! They are classic leather pointed toe pump and at that price I just could not let them sit on the shelf. Another great addition to my collection.

All of the pumps were purchased from dillards.com
