4 Things I bought this weekend...

Hello everyone! Welcome back...! Sorry I didn't get a chance to post the normal 'My Weekend' post, but I got crazy busy & then decided to go bowling and so on.

Over the weekend, I was thinking of ways to SPICE up my wardrobe with some interesting items, so I bought 4 NEW things...well, the jeans not yet but I'll explain that below.

(1) The Elements of Personal Style - I've REALLY been obsessed with fashion blogs lately (as you can see from my posts lately)...so I thought it would only be appropriate to buy a book about personal style! This particular one was recommended to me by a friend & I can't wait for it to arrive!

(2) JCrew Leopard iPhone Case- After seeing this case on Brooklyn Blonde's blog- I had to have it! The picture featured in this post with the pretty blue nails is of Helena's hand (Brooklyn Blonde) & her blog is now one of my fave fashion blogs! This case is super chic & affordable at only $22.50!!

(3) The Chelsea Red Skinny Jean by Joe's Jeans - Ok, this one is the ONLY one I didn't get yet. I've looked up & down & all around the net for some super cute (LONG) red skinny jeans. I don't like Capri, & for some reason most of the ones I've come across have been Capri...what the?!? Well, Joe's has this one, and it's exactly what I was looking for - I hope! We shall see if I make the purchase.

(4) Essie polish Color 'Vermillionaire'- This was an easy purchase. I like the color orange as polish and maybe even on a clutch...but that's pretty much it..... I think!! I can't see myself wearing orange pants, but RED, yea....weird huh?? Anyhow, this color is currently on my toes & nails, and I love it! It's bright and looks awesome if you have a tan.

That essie color is yummy! I really think orange is my new favorite for summer toes. It's so cheerful and more flattering than you might expect, too.

Aww those red jeans are too cute! I bet you look great in them! Kind of matches the nail varnish too :)

Jen, is there a Nordstroms in LV? I think they have Joes's jeans. Granted I'm sure you've checked there!Love the essie polish~orange + tan = perfection. Question: are the animal print wallets and such that you buy real or faux? The reason I ask is that I love them, (I especially would love the zebra cobb hill wallet you have) but try to avoid real animal hide. I remember you did a post about this, and I was curious if you would do another? Love your style, Tina

I just bought an otterbox case for my white iphone 4...obviously not the cutest case around, but it keeps my iphone safe. HOWEVER, I am now dying for the leopard case from J Crew. I saw it while shopping this past weekend and want it so much.

Express just came out with some red jeans too. They call them leggings, but they look like jeans to me. I have a pair, and they fit perfectly after washing.

I just saw the J. Crew iPhone case on your site this morning and I just had to go out and buy it today after work! I absolutely love it! It is so much cuter than the typical black/gray industrial case that everyone else has for their phones!
