Neon Pink Pants

Cream Blouse (Trouve), Neon Pink Cropped Denim with Belt (Target, Other Colors, Here), Gold Oxfords (Kate Spade NY), Silver Necklace, Ring, and Beaded Bracelet (Tiffany & Co), Other Bracelets (Handmade), Watch (Burberry, Here), Standard Poodle (Not for sale!).

These photos were taken with my iphone. My mom was a little preoccupied this morning. Therefore, some are rather blurry. grr :/

After work today, my pup and I were cuddling on the couch. It is rather cold in Chicago today - We needed to keep warm!

Anyway, I couldn't even wait 24 hours before running to find neon pink denim pants. To my excitement, they were in stock at Target! My size, hanging all pretty and pink on the rack. On some level, I believe they were waiting for me ;) haha.

Needless to say, I purchased way more than anticipated.. some books, magazines, whitening strips, toothbrushes, a skirt, blazer, and top on clearance! I just couldn't help myself. Target is too fun.

I'm in love with these pants! I am not too keen with pairing colors with other colors. So, I opted for a cream oversized blouse. This belt came with the pants, and it actually looks pretty cute! 

 I was really happy with my purchase(s).

Tomorrow is Friday! I have a meeting for my internship all day, and then I start everything next week. Hopefully I won't slack too much on the posts, but there is much fear in me about not finding time for sleep :/ 

On that note, I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

Must-Have Bags for Every Girl

 As a girly girl, I love handbags, and I admittedly purchase way too many of them! I'm also very guilty of spending a little too much money on them as well. Anyway, I decided to make a post of must-have bags that I believe every girl should own! 

On the left, I put bags that I lust over. These are pricey but worth the investment. On the right are bags that are less expensive but definitely worth the money (i.e., "musts").  

I believe an “every day” bag needs to be a basic color (i.e., black or brown). Then, you can literally match it with anything you are wearing. Plus, with the style combinations today, mixing black & brown is definitely a “DO!” 

Today, leather is expensive, but in my opinion, if you invest in an every day, leather bag with a larger price tag, it will last forever, honestly. So, I recommend resisting the urge to purchase every cute bag you see, and sock that money away towards a designer, heavy duty bag.  Now, if whether your price limit is $400 or $2,000, I have listed two options that I believe are both classic and beautiful.

The Louis Vuitton Artsy MM is gorgeous. I personally own this myself, and I adore it. There is nothing skeptical about an authentic Louis. They will last forever. Although the Artsy can be quite pricey (a little over $1,600), the investment is worth it. Louis Vuitton also has more everyday bag options that are not as expensive. For example, below I will talk about the Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

On the right is the Coach Madison Leather Lindsey Satchel ($398). My friend owns this beautiful bag. It is perfect for everyday. You can wear it on your arm or on your shoulder. It is durable and all leather – Definitely a “must."

Next, I think a tote is another bag that a girl needs. The Louis Vuitton Neverfull (around $900) is a bag I lust over. I don't personally own one, but I think it is perfect to fit everything that is needed on a daily basis. On the right, I picked a peach colored Tory Burch tote, but I believe any Tory tote is a great investment and much less than a Louis (ranging around $250). 

A versatile clutch is also a necessity for going out during the evening or running errands. On the left is the gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent 'Belle de Jour' Metallic Envelope Clutch ($595). Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous! That's all I have to say. 

On the right is an Asos Leather Portfolio clutch. They have a wide range of colors and designs at reasonable prices (around $80). These clutches certainly don't break the bank, and they are still so pretty!

 The next two types of bags (above) are somewhat similar but both so fun. Everyone needs a crossbody, because sometimes it is just impossible to hold your bag when free hands are needed (like while shopping). On the left is the Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C ($295). I love these clutches. Gorgeous detailing, beautiful gold chain, and she has almost every color and several designs to choose from. It can also be a doubled as a clutch :) On the right is the Juicy Couture Blueprint Hazel ($188). A little less expensive and a bit more casual. 

Amazing green color, too. 

Finally, Satchels are a huge staple these upcoming seasons, and neons are very popular! I LOVE the Proenza Shoulder 'PS1,' but it has a large price tag for such a bright colored bag (over $1500). There are many colors to choose from, though, and it is very pretty.

On the right is a more reasonably priced satchel from Cambridge Satchel Company (around $200 depending on size). This satchel also comes in various colors and designs. These satchels are absolutely adorable!

I may be a tad obsessed with bags..

Do you own any of these bags? Are there any others that you believe are must-haves?

Birthday Fun

In the beginning of my month, it was my grandma's 80th birthday. We threw her a surprise party, and my whole family was there! I have a very large family and a lot of cousins. It was so nice to all be together.

Took a quick mirror picture. 

I'm wearing a faux fur coat (Zara), a pearl blouse (Trouve), and jeggings (A&F). 

I've worn this same arm party in a previous post, but I am in love with it! 

My nail are painted Rose Insolent (Chanel) & clutch by Sidney Ann (Etsy).
