life is exspensive... and so are pretty things.

"The most wonderful things in life are free." Everyone has heard that somewhere haven't they? Now, don't pin me as some materialistic terrible person, but- REALLY? After trying to pay my bills and live over the past year, I've learned- some wonderful, wonderful things in life are most certainly expensive.

For instance...heat.

But don't worry I'm not going to bore you with my woes and hate of taxes and bills. [but who doesn't hate them?] Instead I will dazzle you [hopefully] with Coach, Tiffany & Co, and maybe some things us regular people can offered.

First: COACH.

 Please look at these ADORABLE new Spring Trench Coats below. Um, they are to die for. [also remind me to post my new spring coat next time....]

$548.00



$498.00

 

$498.00

I'm not sure who created the new poppy design, but I'm in LOVE with this collection.



Only $198.00 [I'm not lying. I would save for a few months for that purse]

Second: Tiffany & Co. 

Perfect for valentines day right?




 Third: my personal shoe favorite: Nine West.

$119.00
Love this little booties.

Different... but I really like them.

Lastly: Forever21 .

If I could just borrow a soapbox real quick and [insert my opinion here] - which, I totally can cause this is my blog.... I would like to say:

Finally reaching the age of 21, I found myself weirdly excited to shop at this store. Forever 21 had told me since my teen years that being 21 was the prime year of of a young girls life- people want to be my age forever. .. right? There is no store that says 'Forever 30.' [Who wants to be 30? That wouldn't even make a good movie, let alone store.

Anyway- bottom line, I was excited to be 21, and shop at forever 21.

Sadly, all bubbles must burst, and to my dismay my 21 year old, not overweight body, would not properly fit into an extra large. 

I'm not sure what message forever 21 is trying to send- but right now I'm getting the whole 'I'm 14 and I can't wait to be 21 so I'll shop here now so I feel older, when in fact, I am way to young to be wearing these semi-slutty clothes' vibe. 

Sorry to disappoint any teen girls out there, but listen- those clothes won't fit you when you finally reach the age the store teaches you will always want to be. Don't be too disappointed or think your too big, cause your not. Really, retailers are just sometimes stupid, and can't measure or factor in waste sizes, hips and breasts which normal 21 year old women have, and should be proud of.

All that to say, I think I found a dress that would fit me:



I need more color in my life.

Well- I think I vented out all my expensive frustration. Hope you enjoyed this moment with me, Hales. 



Spring has stolen my heart.

I know, it's still only January. But recent weather patterns have pulled at my heartstrings making the air feel and smell springish.  55 degrees on New Years in Michigan... since when?

I will admit I am a fickle girl, but when it comes to picking favorites, well, I take that VERY seriously. For instance, if you were to ask me to choose my favorite Starbucks, I would tell you that depends on the season and time of day... For fall, the Pumpkin Spice Latte wins hands down. Winter, the Gingerbread Latte comes in a close second. For Summer, a Light Ice, Upside down, Non-Fat Carmel Macchiato is my favorite [which is really just an iced vanilla latte with Carmel on it. I like saying the whole name, I feel like a coffee expert. ha.] ... So, I'm fickle, point proven I guess.

Getting to the main idea of this entry [insert drum roll here] ... I have a favorite season. Spring. I will admit, sometimes I almost lose my loyalty when the fall leaves start to change, or the first snowfall happens. My heart almost gives itself to the summer late nights, and trips to the beach. I start to fall for the hoodies and bonfires, hot coco, and ice cream on the pier...

But today is a the kind of day that reminds me of SPRiNG, and my love for the season. Spring, is the time where everything comes back to life again, and everyone is given a brand new start. And the sunrises are the prettiest.

Ahhhhh, Spring. :]

Yes, it's January, but I am so on board with all these designers and retailers selling spring products already! PLEASE check out Starbucks new Springish mugs. [I fell in love this morning.]

 

 

Next Spring items on the list Coach Spring Shoes. I will admit I was surprised by the lack of color spring shoes are gaining this year. But I will also admit- I LIKE IT! [I'm a plain type of dresser, look in my closest, you'll find black, black, dark purple, and black.]

Hi, Boyfriends, buy me-- BUY ME! No, really. DO IT!
I'm a size 9.

Sophisticated, yet sexy and super trendy. Side note
  I HATE bows... but, I still like these!

Being slightly disappointed in the lack of color Coach Spring Shoes brought me, I had to check out my new colorful favorite Johnathan Alder.  Please look at the fun SPRiNG products I found below!

Buy ME.

My favorite find today!

Flowers PLEASE!

I will finish this entry with a small disappointment I had this Holiday Season. I had a major falling out with my favorite day of the year, Christmas Eve. It was sad, but true. We parted ways. Now I am missing a very crucial and critical aspect of my life,.... I'm thinking a new favorite day could be the first day of spring... or possibly Valentines day... Haven't decided yet.  I'll let you know when I chose.

Welp, I  hope you enjoyed this extra long moment with Hales! Have a fabulous Saturday!
