Look What I Got: Sparkly Collar and Star Tights

I apologize I didn't get to visit too many of the linked up posts last week.  I've been a Nyquil-created zombie for over a week now.  I'm glad I have Sharon here to pick up the slack!  
I'll be better this week.  Scout's honor.
Liquid Silk Skirt: J. Crew (worn here, similar here) | Top: H&M (similar here) | Cardigan: J. Crew | 
Tights: Simply Be | Shoes: Chinese Laundry via DSW(worn here, similar here) | 
Watch: Michael Kors (worn here) | Bracelets: Groopdealz & F21 (worn here, similar here & here)





Sometimes I think that I "like" too many stores on Facebook and follow too many on Twitter.  But then I am alerted to a 40% off every thing sale at Simply Be via Twitter, and I no longer think that.  I got a 2 pack of these tights for $13. 
Yeah, all my friends on Facebook can judge me and think I'm lame for liking Dial soap, but I got a $2 off coupon!!!  I am Queen Consumer.
P.S.  I do not want to discuss how much rage my neighbors' Christmas decorations are causing me.  It's February people!

Weekend Update: Sick, Lifetime and a Wreath Tutorial

Dress: Simply Be (via Gwynnie Bee) | Belt: Old Navy (worn here) |
Ankle boots: Marshall's (similar here) | Necklace: gift (similar here) |
Bracelets: Sira & Mara, Michael Kors, Bauble Bar (similar here & here)






I had big plans for this floral frock.  I borrowed this tunic from Gwynnie Bee and put on the perfect pair of black ankle boots that I had searched for for weeks.  And then disaster struck.  I spent most of this weekend sick on the couch watching Lifetime movies.  Shannen Doherty found her missing husband and took down a computer company falsifying its profits and some blonde lady's husband went missing and there was something with a voodoo cult.  I don't know.  I took a  lot of Nyquil.  Obviously, these photos were taken before I contracted the plague.
I removed myself from the couch long enough to get Mexican food Saturday night and then to watch the Superbowl at my parents' house last night (and stuff myself with tacos each time).  My sickness did not come with nausea or lack of appetite.
This might be the Nyquil talking, but I am also going to share a little crafty tutorial with you all that I managed to concoct while on the couch.

I purchased everything seen here from Michael's.
1. I wrapped a straw wreath in burlap garland.  Yeah, it's a real thing...you can find it over by the wreaths and fake flowers.
2.  On top of the burlap garland, I wrapped a portion of the wreath in lace ribbon.
3. I secured the garland and lace ribbon to the wreath with straight pins.
4. Lastly I hot glued little Valentine do-dads to the wreath.  I used some heart ornaments and rhinestones.  I secured a looop of heart printed ribbon to the top of the wreath with more straight pins in order to hang it on the door.

All the materials cost me about $20, but if I have enough stuff to cover 2 more wreaths if I want.
    
Full disclosure: I did not receive any thing from Gwynnie Bee in exchange for this post.  I found the service on my own and decided to sign up and share it with you guys.  I do get one free month of Gwynnie Bee for every lady that signs up for a paid month of Gwynnie Bee here.

Look What I Got: Snow and Some More Gwynnie Bee

It snowed a few weeks ago here in New Jersey.  So, I did what any good blogger would do and froze my booty off taking pictures in it. 
Printed Sheath Dress: Simply Be | Leggings: Target | 
Necklace: BaubleBar (similar here) | Boots: Macy's (worn here, similar here) | 
Bracelets: Groopdealz, F21 and BaubleBar (worn here, similar here and here) | 
Watch: Michael Kors (present from the Scot) | Ring: BaubleBar (worn here)



 However, it was to show off one of my latest items from Gwynnie Bee.  (If you are not familiar with Gwynnie Bee, check out this post.)  After receiving this dress in the mail from Gywnnie Bee and obsessing over loving it, I decided to actually purchase it from Simply Be.  And I was pleasantly surprised.  It was on sale for $34 (down from $58) AND I had a coupon code to save 40% off (thanks to a Tweet from Katie).  So, I wound up paying a little over $20 for this dress!  That's like Forever 21 pricing!  Wait, this outfit gets better.  That necklace was FREE (the best price) from BaubleBar.  In December BaubleBar was running a promotion where you could pick a free piece of jewelry from their "Gift Suite" when you spent $40.  I picked up some Christmas gifts for friends and family....and for me.  The Michael Kors watch was free for me, but only because the Scot gave it to me as a gift.  I am pretty sure he didn't get it for free.  And if he did, I guess I am wearing some hot jewelry.

And now it's time to see your deals and steals!!
