I've always wanted to be in a comic strip.

You know me, I hardly write about fashion. And lately, I don't even buy anything for myself. But, I came across the most amazing, mind-blowing bags I've ever seen. I'm so confused  and I can't quite wrap my head around it. Normally not my style, but I want to buy one...at least so I can just see it in person and stop my brain from hurting. How do they do it? Genius. Ow...brain...can't...comprehend.

This is indeed a real bag. You can buy this hand bag from Jump From Paper. They also have bags for men.

Starry night nails with a little bit of galaxy

I'm not into manicures. In fact, I've never had one. I don't paint my nails because I know it will chip off the next day. But, I do always paint my toes. I will not being showing you my toes....Shopping at Target this weekend, I saw a glimmer of something on the end cap. It was dark gray shimmering nail polish. Anyone that knows me knows I love the color gray.


Not wanting to spend $8 on this awesome nail polish that I will use once, I found this awesome set of 5 nail polishes for $5!! After I did my toes, I thought, "why not?" So, I did my fingers too. I used the dark gray and layered on a top coat of the gold glitter. And now I look like I have little galaxies on my nails! It's day two and no chips!

Black and white geometrics

Lets take another little break from all things wedding. I have fallen in love with geometric designs lately. Triangles, chevrons and anything with sharp lines. I did some shopping on Etsy yesterday looking for something geometric for our apartment. I want to highlight some Etsy sellers, artists and designers with some great geometric items. I even found some great shoes and a coat! Sometimes I forget how awesome Etsy is and am constantly amazed by the shops I find.

What I missed about England most

I studied for a semester in London while I was in college. It was an amazing experience and I got to meet Leonardo DiCaprio's wax figure. Actually I did meet Casey Affleck and sat front row for a play with him and Matt Damon. Oooo! Anyway, one of the things I missed most besides the celebrity sightings (wax or not) was Topshop! I was so excited to go downtown Chicago and see Topshop! All my dreams have come true.


I loved their make-up. They had the coolest ombré eyeshadows, before ombré was even cool. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have those anymore, or at least not in America. Oh they also had candy bins at the one in London. I used to get the cherry gummies before they were here. They also had sugar-free gummies that we were so excited about, but they gave us stomach pains so we stopped eating them. Here's some of the rad stuff at Topshop:

Forever 21 - Cute dresses!

Whenever I go downtown I have to visit the giant Forever 21, otherwise I never step foot in one. And I was pleasantly surprised. I found a cute camel color (and of course cheap!) sweater dress. It is very very short, so I would wear it as a top with some jeans. But, here's a couple of other cute non-skanky dresses as well.

Fabulous Ann Taylor Skirt...I'm in love

I popped into Ann Taylor this weekend since they were having 40% off, yeah! And still I bought nothing?? But, I fell in love with this skirt. I even love their styling on this. It looks very fall, instead of just a sparkly fish-eye mini-skirt. Even though my love is unconditional, the problem is, I have no idea where I would wear this. I somehow need to justify this purchase...

P.S. They're still having 40% off!
