Window Shopping on the Net











Today I was on the website Gilt.com and they had these beautiful crosses by Charriol jewelry . I collect crosses and I thought these were really pretty . My favorites are




Bubble cross necklace, Diamond cross necklace and the Bacci cross necklace. I will have to post some of other ones I own a little later. The crosses I collect I have found everywhere from Forever 21 to Hsn to silver jewelry stores.


They also had these shoes by Bloch. There ballerina flats really cute but by the time went back to see some of the pictures they were sold out.

I usually wear heels but i never realized how cute ballerina flats could be !

A Few More Days Until Chrsitmas !!

It's Sunday and the weather here in Southern Cali was in the 80's clear and sunny, even though everywhere else especially on the east coast its been snowing. I really miss the snow when I lived in Manhattan, N.Y.C but I think I like the weather here too!!

I think I'm finished with all my Christmas shopping !! YESSS!! Today I went to Burlington and bought a shirt and jeans for my boyfriends son and when I got home I ordered a PSP game called Star Wars Battle Front from http://www.amazon.com/ for one of my nieces for $19.99 plus I had a $5.oo e certificate from swag bucks.





I posted some more pictures of the Cargo glosses I recieved to show you how skinny they are ! They are a Chrismtas gift so I can't test them but I will make sure to ask my friend if she like them or not .

These are the sweaters I ordered from http://www.victoriassecret.com/ . They were only $10 a piece and I also received the free scarf in the picture. I paid a total of $34.00!!
The two kits above I ordered from bliss and Mario Badescu . The bliss one is going to be a gift but the Mario one I will be doing a review on in the next few weeks.

A Few of My Favorite Websites for Makeup and Clothing Deals!!


I thought I would post a few of my favorite websites for deals, steals and coupons for makeup, clothing and a few other things.


The first one would have to be slick deals they are FABULOUS!!
If you want to find the best deals on line or in stores they are really good. Everything from appliances to makeup,clothing, electronics and even couponing and grocery shopping.

The next two are makeup sites:


beauty crunch they have brand name popular cosmetics at a discounted price and beauty ticket also has brand name cosmetics at a discounted price.

Then there is of course Amazon . I love that site because you can practically buy anything on the site.  If you  register with them every time you sign in they show you items that they think you would be interested in. They also have hourly deals called lightening deals. This Christmas I bought several Nintendo Wii and DSI games for my son. I also bought a Konad nail kit for my boyfriends daughter.

Christmas Tree and Shopping Weekend







This weekend it rained off and on so it was ugly almost the entire weekend but on Sunday it cleared up enough for us to go buy a Christmas tree!
On Saturday morning me and Caleb decided to do some shopping to start getting ready for the holidays.
First stop was the Dollar Tree, yep you heard me I’ve crossed over to the dark side lol!! I never realized how much stuff you could get there. Besides dish washing liquid, cleaning products they had a golf club and a tennis racket that was compatible with the Nintendo Wii for $1.00 each wowser!! I bought them and tried them out at home and yes I suck at golf and tennis but they worked! I also bought a Santa Claus cookie plate and some little tubs with lids that had Christmas scenery on them. They also had wrapping paper, tape, a lot of things for the kitchen.
Next door was the store Didi’s Discount, I was looking for a pair of glove and a hat for Caleb because he is going to be a caroler in his school’s Christmas show. They did have any but my son found what he calls “cool skater shirts” whatever that means. The shirts were nice looking so at $4.99 a pop they were a bargain!
Then the last stop was Walmart , what I don’t understand is every time I go in there I can’t seem to walk out without spending over $50.00 and if you asked me what I bought I couldn’t tell you! I bought a charger for Caleb’s Nintendo Dsi because he lost his. Oh, and I bought some groceries, I think….
Saturday night my boyfriend came over (thanks Eharmony) and we just watched movies made dinner and hung out because it was pouring outside, the tree would just have to wait until Sunday morning.

Sunday morning me , Caleb and Derek (boyfriend) got up and went to get the tree and go shopping at Target which is another store I can’t seem to walk out of without spending over $50.00. I bought an ink cartridge and 2 boxes of Christmas lights and I’m going blank on what else I bought. Then in the same parking lot they were selling Christmas trees and I don’t even have to tell you how much I spent because you already know J Then we went to Walmart (yes again) and I bought a topper for the tree and some lights that were $1.84 a box. Ok so we get home set up the tree and the $1.84 lights didn’t work why am I not surprised! I tried the light from Target, the Phillips led light are beautiful they look like little crystals the other brand were ugly and it didn’t help that they didn’t light up. So out we go again to return the defective light and buy more of the Phillip brand lights. They were $8.39 on sale which is I think high but they were really worth it. I posted pick of the tree and some of the things I bought.

Today I was on slick deals and there was a post that Best Buy has the game Ghostbusters on line for sale for $19.00 plus .99cents shipping for the Wii. I went ahead and bought it because the reviews seem to be really good also several people had said that the original actors from the movie did the voices for the game, cool! I also bought the game Wario Land: Shake it online from Game Spot. With a code that someone posted I got 10% off and free shipping! On Amazon I bought as a gift for one of my boyfriend’s daughter a Konad kit. Konad Kits are nail design kits that come with plates so you can imprint a design on you nails. I’ll post a picture when I receive it and after the holidays I will buy one and post some pictures after I try to do my own nails.

Sephora, Zoya, Korres and Tarte orders have arrived!
























































I thought I would post some pictures of some of the items I received from Sephora, Tarte, Korres and Zoya, there Christmas gifts so I can't really try them out.....and I really want too !

Saturday and STILL RAINING!!!


Today me and my son got up at 7am, ok well actually I was asleep and my son decided it was time for BOTH of us to get up!! So we cleaned the house got ourselves ready and went out in the rain to run some errands. We went to the Dollar Tree first I usually buy cleaning products from there because there the same brand names I buy from the regular store like comet, ajax etc.


While we were there I notice in the toy section the had a golf club and a tennis racket that was compatible to the Nintendo WII. Ok I had to buy them just to see if they worked!!

After the Dollar Tree we went to Didi's Discount looking for a hat and gloves for Caleb(my son) because he was going to be in a Christmas show later during the week. They didn't have any but they had 2 really nice shirts that Caleb liked that were $4.99 a piece! I also bought a Star Wars set of the characters which I've seen at TRU for about $29.99 it was marked down to $10.00.


Then we went to Walmart and bought a few groceries and a charger for Caleb's Nintendo Dsi , hat and gloves. By the time we came out it was POURING RAIN.


After settling in I decided to try and do some more Christmas shopping online. I found out that Bliss was having a sale with an additional $10 off of $25 with free shipping I posted a picture. I'll do a review of the products when I receive them.
