Recent steals & jewels

I've been having the toughest time finding clothes lately. I recently took a trip to California and I was going crazy finding items to wear or buy to bring. I ended up going out two days before and picking up some plain baggy tops, and a few sheer ones from rue 21 for $3 bucks each.

Here's one of them. While they're fine, I really don't have much for the upcoming summer. 

While I was there I didn't so much shopping, more hiking and adventuring. I stopped at zara and got a few plain tops (again, more plain!) but that was it. I decided to try urban outfitters last night and picked up some good deals from them so hopefully this is a start. Any ideas for reasonable summer shopping?

Throwback Thursday #TBT

It's #throwbackthursday, here are some throwbacks from my instagram

Stack of Alex & Ani, did you know you can get them on sale? TJMAXX has them a lot for $16-18, and sites like Gilt (I haven't seen them on there in awhile, but I got them last year in bundles of 5 for $100), and ideeli in bundles of 3-7 for 30-50% off.

My stab at calligraphy & typography...

I recently took up calligraphy- as in about 2 weeks ago. I've always liked it, but never tried it. It is very relaxing and a nice way to de-stress. Here's a few things I worked on. 

I did this one right before I almost bit the bullet at my 90 minute spin class as some motivation..I hope to practice and perfect this one to make a print for the other half. 

Latest additions to my posh closet

Here are some new additions to my poshmark closet, visit it here or check out the new widget they unveiled recently on the side bar!

This amazingly detailed peplum top by Bisou Bisou NWT! Size small with vegan leather (I love that faux leather has a prettier name now, heh), semi sheer lace detail and buttons up the back. I was too busty for it, and waited too long to return. Up for grabs for half price!

Shopping lately...

I  recently went on an insomnia driven shopping binge at jcrew factory, poshmark, and dillards. I didn't 'need' anything really, but when I can't sleep, I wander.. and ended up at the above. I can't complain at the prices either... here's a peek at what I got

OOTD

Under $50 for everything, my favorite kind of outfit.
