Recent finds and a great big thank you

9.06.2012

First, I have to thank you guys big time!  You really came through for me.  I won that photo contest at Ni Hao Y'all and I am so excited!  Thank you for voting!  I'm inspired to get busy with my camera again, it's been collecting dust. Thank you thank you!

My blog swag...

Ni Hao Yall

Now for some finds..


I got a chambray shirt, yay:) Too bad I didn't keep the 10 I owned in 1992.  This one is Banana Republic {and I got 30% off and used eBates for the first time!}  The reviews said it's really soft, which is what I wanted.  I love the Madewell one too but for some reason the darker one spoke to me.

Old Navy black and white polka dot sweater...I want to put this with boyfriend jeans or mint skinnies..

Loft red skinnies..  I love this look and while I do believe in investing in good denim, I don't want to spend $200 on red jeans.  Loft's are a great fit {good pocket placement} and they have some cute colors right now. Inspiration..

Mac Lipglass...I asked Miss MAC {aren't those MAC girls the bomb?} for a nude gloss that had a hint of color and she said, "You'll love 'Imperial Light' Cremesheen."  She was right, it's wonderful.
I hope the hubs isn't reading today, that spending freeze didn't work out so well;)

    congrats!! I knew you would win!! It's all about the colored skinnies right now for sure. I have been wanting the madewell shirt for awhile we don't have one here in STL and I always prefer to check things out in real life so I think I need to head on over to banana today

    Loving everything about this post! I wish my legs were skinnier so I could wear colored jeans, all the colors out right now are gorgeous. I especially love the red. xo
