Things I've Bought Recently That I Really Like

Good title, no?

Here are literally some things I've purchased recently that turned out well:

I know I may get grief for shopping at Walmart, but you can take a girl out of Ridgecrest, but you can't take Ridgecrest out of a girl! Also, Walmart has really stepped up their workout wear game and this Danskin tunic is soft and perfectly comfy.

These are obviously not the most exciting purchase, but my old no show socks were really thin like pantyhose and would slip down. I needed good, thick ones for my upcoming Paris trip to wear with my Chucks and/or Rothy's. I wish I could wear those without socks, but they both rub on my pinky toes. These socks don't slip one tiny little bit, they are great.

I have been trimming my own bangs for years. Because 1) I'm lazy and don't want to go to a hair person multiple times every couple of weeks and 2) I honestly think I do my bangs better than any hair person has. I don't know what it is, I like them better my way? I've been cutting them with office scissors for years. I basically HACK through my thick ass hair with shitty old scissors. It's not great. So these help a ton.

I started collecting cute pins and were putting them on my backpack that I used to commute to work, but I inevitably would have one pop off when I got squeezed into a tight spot on the train and I didn't want to lose them. So I got this and put my current collection on it. I love it so far!

This is my current collection: boobies, beer, My Favorite Murder, more beer, Upslope Brewery, wedding pins from our gift bags, Gilmore Girls, random sloth, more My Favorite Murder, Michelle Obama, Harry Potter. Boom.

Okay, I technically got these back in July, but I haven't blogged in two years so this counts as recently. I finally got good hiking boots! We have lived here four years now and I've still been hiking in my trail running shoes. Which means my feet hurt like hell afterwards and I constantly twisted my ankle on shit. These are so supportive for my ankles and I trip a lot less. I don't wear them with rolled socks like that every time, I swear.

So proud of my Valentine's Card for Mike this year. He loved it.

PUZZLES! I became obsessed with doing puzzles during a particularly stressful time at work. I would come home and work on it while Mike cooked and would even stay up late to work on it while Mike slept some nights. It was a nice way to turn my brain off from all the stress and anxiety and it's kind of fun. So I have a crapload now and this is one set I got that was really fun.

I know the owner of this company so I've been buying her beans since the beginning, but they are seriously the BEST coffee. Mike loves it so much, he saves them for the weekends so we don't run out too fast. Worth every penny for these hand roasted, humane, and awesome beans. (Also Starbucks is not humane, google that shiz)

I got this dress for $18.00 and it's so comfy and cute and just ugh, good.

I've wanted to get tattoos (other than my ever so classy college tramp stamp) for years, but I just can't commit. I ordered this temporary pug tattoo from Inbox and I can't wait to try it out.


Alright, most of this shit was from Amazon. I'm not that exciting...

Amazon

While doing some styling for a client recently, I started browsing Amazon's dress selection. I'm obsessed with using my Amazon Prime and anything I can get with free shipping, I'm all about it. I was honestly shocked with the dress selection at Amazon. I cannot wait to get a job and start amping up my dress selection with some of these beauties!  (Okay, this post sounds crazy sponsored, but it isn't...I really am this excited about the dress selection at Amazon...I have so little going on in my life right now, you guys)

Here are a few of my favorites:

I love colorful dresses and this one can be mixed with so many different shoes and accessories. It also reminds me of one of my favorite Project Runway looks:

I love dresses with a jeweled neckline. This one is super short, but I'm super short so it should be fine. Would love to wear this one in the winter with some black tights and booties. So cute!

Find here

I love brocade. This dress would be amazing with some jewels, black tights, and black heels for a dressy event or even belted with some flats for work. Love!

Find here

I love yellow and I love Catherine Malandrino and this dress looks super comfortable. Wouldn't pair it with those shoes though, needs black or a pattern, I think.

This one is one of my faves for sure. It's retro and modern at the same time and I'm quite the sucker for exposed zippers.

Find here

I really like this one because it can be so easily remixed. It's perfect for a fancier occasion, but throw a blazer over it and it would work for the office or tie a chambray top over it and it's ready for a more casual day. Great price too!

I love shift dresses because you can accessorize them so many different ways and they're super comfy for work. This one is an amazing color and has pockets. Winner!

Find here

Love the sleeves and cut of this dress SO much. I love how they styled it too, perfection.

I've never worn a drop waist dress before so I'm honestly not sure if I could pull it off, but I'm just in love with this color combination.

I love the pattern mixing of this dress, the sweet little sleeves, and just the easy breasyness of it.
