Cobra Horseshoe Bracelet

Thanks to Pinterest, I've found quite a few craft projects to do in my free time. I did this bracelet using craft lace. I plan to make a few more using different colors of lace. It was pretty simple to make, the hardest part is trying to figure out how much lace you need, my first attempt at it was not long enough.  So I wasted about 30 minutes till I realized I wouldn't have enough to double up on it and make it long enough. My second attempt just barely made it, thank goodness I have a child size wrist lol. I plan to make a few more of these using chain, kind of like the helloberry bracelets.

Valentines Day goodies - Bvlgari Earrings

Jason got me a pair of Bvlgari earrings for Valentines day. I love them, classic and timeless.

  

On another note. How hairy is my face!? lol I blurred my skin a little in Photoshop so that it wouldn't be the first thing you notice, but wow.

He also got me some Lindt chocolate truffles. I told him I would rather a small box with like 5 really good chocolates instead of a huge box of cheap chocolates. It's just not worth the calories. Lindt is my favorite so he did good. 

I also happened to catch him on Frederick's of Hollywood's website looking at some...ehem, crotch less thongs and other crazy looking sh*t and told him not to bother cause I hate that stuff and it would just be a waste of money. So instead he went with my suggestion and got me one of my favorite bras. Unfortunately the pink one I wanted was back ordered so it didn't come in yet. I think when I get it I will do a review on it.

  

Anyway, what kind of goodies did you get for Valentines day?

Aldo & Forever21 Purchases

I was in the mall today to get some work shirts from Forever21 and decided to stop by Aldo for some shoes. Well I found this instead.

(Pink shirt from F21)

  

It looks so similar to the Celine bag that I've been dying over! I know some people have found the look alike bag at Target, but I haven't been so lucky.

 

These are the 2 shirts I ended up getting from F21 and some stud earrings. You can't go wrong with a classic black and white button down shirt. The quality of these felt really nice too.

Splurge VS. Steal ~ Christian Louboutin Daffodile Pumps

Who doesn't love these go-with-everything pair of Loubs? Well Steve Madden makes a pair just like them for way less!

Christian Louboutin Daffodile pumps $1,075

Steve Madden Dejavu pump $99.00 (on sale currently)

You definitely can't go wrong with these. 

Justin Timberlake Concert - Pic heavy

The Direct TV Superbowl party was Saturday night. Justin Timberlake, Timberland and Jay Z performed. Mainly it was Justin and Timberland and JayZ performed for one song so I don't have good pics of them.

 

 BTW, I'm in LOVE with my new camera. I was pretty far away and still managed to get pretty good shots and the image stabilization feature on the camera works wonders.

 We went to the bar cause I thought Justin was wrapping up his last song and then JayZ came out, so this was the best shot I could get of him =/

It's big Haus from Pawn Stars!!

 

 

 

Yay! Got my new Camera & NFL Party Info

Jason surprised me by getting me the new camera I've been wanting! (As some of you may know, this one was on my 2013 wishlist) I told him that I wanted it before our cruise on the 23rd and the timing couldn't have been more perfect because I just found out that we're going to some NFL party for the Superbowl tomorrow night. Little more on that in a bit...

 

 

The camera I got is the Canon SX260. It's a point and shoot for the most part, but it does has features to let you set the shutter or apature amongst a few other things. It has 20x optical zoom and takes excellent pictures at night and has a low light feature so that the camera uses the surounding light for the photo and doesn't make the person look white like a ghost when a flash is used. A friend of mine has this camera and her pics come out amazing everytime so I know this one was a good choice.

 

As for the NFL party. I have a friend who is a photographer who is working the event so he put me and Jason on the vip list so we get to go for free! Yay for free stuff lol! The best part is is that Justin Timberlake will be hosting the event and there will also be an open bar and free food. I hope to take a lot of pics at this event and I'm so glad I finally have a decent camera to take them with.

 

 

What are your plans for Superbowl Sunday?

New Purchases

 I put myself on a strict no dress buy rule, but when I saw this at TjMaxx for $20 I couldn't resist. Panel dresses are so hot right now and this dress fits like a dream. I love how the sides look leather, it gives it that edginess I can't wait to pair it with gold accessories. 

I got this after sun moisturizer for my cruise that's coming up next month. I love the the golden shimmer to it. The swatch at the bottom of my hand is heavily applied and then I blended it out above it. I think this lotion would also work great for a night out when you just want some shimmer on your legs. I plan on using it for that too. 

VS goodies and Lacoste perfume. Touch of pink smells great. It's going to be my everyday causal fragrance.  The shimmery spray is scented just like the Heavenly perfume. This was actually a gift from a friend who knows I have a thing for shimmery things like this. I may bring this on my cruise too. 

This is what the shimmer looks like. 

I picked this up at Walmart on impulse. It kinda reminds me of the Clinique product. I think it's called chubby stick or something. Anyway, I didn't really care for this. It was pretty drying on my lips and the color didn't work for me either. 

I got this jewelry over the course of a month. The necklace and bow tie earrings are from F21. The white earrings are from eBay and the Swarovski crystal earrings I've had for a few months already. 

I haven't really talked much about my cruise so for those who don't know. I'm going to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel for 7 days at the end of February. Now would definitely be a good time to get that camera off my wishlist. I'm just waiting for the price to go down a little more =/
