SHOE LUST: Corkscrew

Been MIA, February has been pretty crazy. Plus, I think I'm coming down with a cold. Booo.

Traveling for the past week, and March is packed with travels again.

Of course, must pop in here to share my latest shoe craving:

( @ Kate Spade, Elina, $225 ) 

Cork shoe, with a patent pink toe. For some reason, it's calling my name!

Also, there goes my 24th birthday..trying not that let affect me too much. I'll let you know if I go on a quarter-life crisis soon!

STORE: Old Navy

Long story short, I have not been into an Old Navy store since like middle school. But the other day, I was with my mother, and we passed one while we were doing some shopping at stores nearby. She wanted to check it out, since there were these HUGE 75% OFF sales signs plastered all over the store windows.

I meekly went in with her, and was soo surprised by how much I like their apparel! I even bought myself a neat red jacket! I will definitely be frequenting their store more often! Go Old Navy, they're definitely getting back on track with style!

Some of my faves:

This bright yellow messenger bag is the perfect size to just tote the necessities. I hate carrying huge bags, so this is perfect!

This bag is preppy, yet it also sorta screams beach at me...can't wait until summer hits again!

( @ )

Satisfying my polka-dot craving, in this amazing raspberry red color!

( @ )

This shirt is a perfect pullover to make an outfit more elegant. Simple, but prints always fancy you up.

( @ )

This chunky knit looks so comfy! Instead of a jacket I would wear it over so much this winter to keep me warm. (I can't really choose between the striped one, which I love so much, or the more practical beige or black one...)

Thoughts on Old Navy? No, yes?

Gift Ideas Under $50.

Being unemployed this year has really been interesting for me because now I have to actually spend time looking for cheap thoughtful presents.

Here are a few that have popped up on my radar, which I definitely wouldn't mind getting for myself:

( @ )

These chalkboard candles from West Elm are so cute! I would totally be redrawing their designs every time I lit one. (PS - they're all sold out now).

( @ )

I love the colors of this bag! White, with a hint of black and a bright line of turquoise. Gorgeousness. ($49.90).

( @ )

Um, yeah, more candles from West Elm. But these are quite cute as well, and smell great! I would totally spell out someone's name...or some thing fun with them. (and at $7 each, LOVE??)

( @ )

I love these colorful glasses! Perfect for the holidays ($7).

Just some neat ideas for last minute gifts! I'm off to head back home from the city, and enjoy some rest.

Happy holidays!
