I Believe....

I believe in Pink,

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner,

I believe in kissing, kissing alot.

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.

I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

Goodwill Goodies!

Yesterday I went to the Goodwill to try to find a few new items to add to my closet.  It wasn't a great thrift day where you hit the jackpot but I found a few things.  You probably already know this, but Goodwill is kind of an overflow so to speak, for Target.  Which means when Target's clearance items have been on the floor too long they donate them to Goodwill, which means Target goodies for me at great prices :)

Every time I go to Target I look at the Handbags & Belts first, then the clothes.  They have the cutest belts and I've seen so many that I want, but I am not willing to pay $12.99 - $16.99 for one belt!  So I was looking through the belts at Goodwill and I found a bunch of brand new belts from Target, with the tags still on them for $2.99 a piece!  A few of these belts, such as the double black belt, are ones that are still at Target for $12.99!

Anyway, here is what I got at the Goodwill:

New Black Double Belt (Retail: $16.99)

New Target Black Patent Belt (Retail: $12.99)

New Target Green Suede Belt (Retail: $12.99)

New Target Red Belt (Retail: $12.99)

Old Navy Jeans Belt

New Target Tan Leather Belt (Retail: $12.99)


So, I paid $14.95 for 5 brand new Target belts and retail would have been $68.95 for all 5!  I think that was a pretty good deal!

Then I found a wristlet in Spring colors, by Poppie Jones for $4.99:

Last but not least I found a Coral colored blazer from H & M, for $3.99! 

This blazer was not only a great Spring color and my size, bu being from H & M is a big deal to me because we don't have an H &M here.  I see all these awesome things that other bloggers got from H & M at great prices and I wish we had one here.  Or at least be able to buy online.  Maybe some day.

Have a great Wednesday!

What are your favorite trends for Spring?

First Shoedazzle Purchase

So this is my first purchase from Shoedazzle and I was so excited when they arrived! 

This is what the inside looked like when I opened it.

The shoes came in a pretty hot pink box, wrapped in tissue paper.

They were closing down the Boot Department for the Winter Season, so I decided to purchase the one type of boots I actually don't have, Cowboy Boots!  I chose the color Cognac and it's a beautiful color

I love them!  The color is beautiful and they are so soft!  They are also very comfortable to boot (get it? Ha!).

I can wear them with skinny jeans, tights with a skirt or a dress.  They also sent me a Welcome Gift consisting of a Shoedazzle nail file & a beautiful Shoedazzle nail polish called Dazzle Me Pink..

I will do a post of the nail polish as soon as my nails grow back!  All my nails were all the same length and then the other day out of nowhere, they just started splitting & breaking off!  I know, I'm probably the only girl left that has her real nails still :)

Happy Thursday! xo

Jason Wu for Target

I guess I would say I'm very lucky in a sense, because where I live (Albuquerque, NM) is not exactly the fashion capitol of the SW!  Therefore, when designers collaberate with Target, I don't have to be there on the 1st day, waiting outside for them to open, fighting crowds of women all looking for the same thing. 

I believe I bought this black pleated skirt and handbag a week after Jason Wu's collection debuted here.  

I read in a few blogs how hard it was to get anything that day, so I am very blessed!  In fact it's been about 2 weeks since Jason Wu debuted and they still have some clothing and handbags in stock!

In fact, when Missoni came out at Target, I went about a week later and they didn't really have alot of clothes left, but they had a ton of  pumps and rain boots.  I really wanted the pumps, but the size 6 was huge on me and the size 5.5 was way too tight.  The pumps were actually there so long they went on clearance a week later for $14.99!!  I still decided not to get them, which I am now regretting.  Then I was at Goodwill the other day and what did I find?  The Missoni pumps I wanted for only $6.99 I believe, but they were a size 6.  Do you think someone was trying to say "Get the shoes Lori, get the shoes".

Anyway, I can't wait for the next Target collaberation :)

Have a great night!

Happy Valentines Day!

12 Red Roses....

and a Box of Chocolates.....From my Valentine!

OK...I swear this box was full before I took the picture!



It's Been So Long

I know I've said this a few times before, but it's been way too long since I've blogged!  My only excuse is that life got in the way, as you may have experienced yourself.  I have so much to share, such as new pictures, awesome thrift finds and I still have to practice taking pictures with my self-timer, so I can post pictures of my outfits.  Now that it gets darker at an earlier time, it's a little harder.

So stay tuned.....
