Interesting Website.

Maybe one day when I feel like going out on a whim and blowing money I'll buy this $268 gorgeous Coach bag. But I will most likely wait until I'm a nurse and the cost of the bag doesn't equal one paycheck! {lol.}


There is another alternitive to spending a huge lump sum on one bag. I came across this website while researching. It's called Bag Borrow or Steal. I read about it and what you do is get a membership... and how much you pay a month depends on the prices of the bags you want to borrow. They offer all designer purses.. like Coach. You can keep the bag for as long as you want. But the thing is... for me because no matter how long you keep the bag you still are paying a set amout every month. So wouldn't it be a better deal if you borrowed a new purse every week? Because you are paying the same amout every month. Anyway.. they have it where you can print out a shipping label for when you return the bags.


I think this is a pretty clever idea! Definitely something i would look into doing once I'm not making just over minimum wage! {lol.} I'm not as bad about buying new purses all the time like I used to be. I have actually had the same Kathy Van Zeeland bag since my last birthday. I still love it and have just recently thought about purchasing a new one. I have been looking and looking but have failed to find one that i want. I have this idea stuck in my head of purple patent but have had no luck finding one for a reasonable price. I also don't want one that is huge and resembles a suitcase! I mean how much stuff does someone need in their purse??


Here is the link to that website:

there is something wrong with this headline...

"New York Fashion Week: shoulder pads are back at Marc Jacobs and Donna Karan"

"Diane von Furstenberg and Donna Karan weren't the only designers feeling nostalgic this week. Marc Jacobs seemed to be longing for the Mudd Club, when shoulder pads were steroidal and hair product a way of life. “It's my clubbing days!” the designer enthused. His collection, which was shown to a third of the number of people he typically invites, called to mind Grace Jones, Blondie and the other icons of his nightclubbing youth. There were bright colours and pleated, stonewashed jeans (Z Cavaricci, anyone?), with high waists paired with shiny satin tops. These are not clothes for the fashion-shy: they are strong and somewhat in-your-face and the hair - oh, the hair! - is sky-high and immobile. “We spent all weekend on that,” said an ecstatic Jacobs backstage after the show. He looked young, fresh and tanned. “God, I love New York! Everything is feeling creative again!”."

Website I Recommend.




I was recently on the hunt for new tshirts. I have two that i rotate that i got on vacation.. my other two are very old and have a lot of holes. Anyway.. it's hard to find something if you aren't a big sports fan. Then I remembered they always had cute ones at Lifeway. I looked on their website and they didn't have the selection like they do in the store... So i Googled Christian tshirts and came across this website http://www.christianswag.com/. They have alot of cute ones.. so I ended up getting two. They have tshirts for men, women, and kids. They weren't that expensive and another plus is they shipped super fast.. like they said it would take 9 days or something but it was like half that.

Spring Trends???

I have been reading Seventeen magazine for as long as i can remember and I look foward to getting it every month. I was slightly in shock when I started reading one of the cover stories on cute looks for spring. They have a spread on top ten must have items.. and I was kind of disturbed when i found... well read it for yourself and see.

  1. Chambray Jumpsuit
  2. Rainbow Bag
  3. Oversize Blazer
  4. Cropped Top
  5. Printed Heels
  6. Graphic Necklace
  7. Neon Tank
  8. Stretch Skirt
  9. Pleated Pants
  10. Bold Sundress

Do you a see a pattern in this? Does this read like 1985 to you??? Hello it's 2009! I mean i know trends come back or whatever.. but they took some of the worst trends ever and put them all together. {oversize blazer, croppd top, pleated pants} Frankly, they are all bad. I mean, come on, I haven't seen anyone wear a cropped top since Britney Spears in 1998! If I see someone walking down the street in a cropped top and pleated pants i will be very upset! I mean the media, including magazines, are a big influence on a lot of people. Some people may not even realize how wrong this is! This has to be a joke!

Grammy Awards '09: Best and Worst Dressed.

I have done my research and decided on my picks for best and worst dressed for the Grammy Awards. I'm not really into actually watching the award shows but it's always fun to see what everyone is wearing. I found that there were very few choices for best dressed! The majority wore very strange things.

Best Dressed.

1. Taylor Swift


2. Carrie Underwood

~Like I said before.. there really were not that many choices for best dressed... I'm not crazy over either of these dresses but at least they didn't look absolutely out of their mind. I think that they both look really pretty though and I would definitely pick the black dress over the gold.

Worst Dressed.

1. Katy Perry

2. M.I.A.


~Lucky me i found a picture of my picks for worst dressed together! They are two of a kind! I do not know what in the world Katy Perry was thinking when she picked out that bubblegum pink dress. It wouldn't be that bad if it didn't have that weird bow thing in the front. And as for M.I.A.... I have to cut the girl a little slack.. i think she is like 8 months pregnant..maybe 9. So i can't blame her fo wearing sneakers but come on... i know there are wayyy better maternity dresses out there than that!
