Post Vacation Haul!

      I've neglected blogging for the past week and a half because i was on vacation! I went to South Carolina to puppy sit and enjoy the warm weather! Being on my own in a new city means a lot of time to shop and while I didn't actually buy anything while in SC (there is sales tax there and i live in NH sooooo i waited to get home), my window shopping influenced a bit of a shopping spree. Without further ado, drumroll please, to the stuff!

       My first stop was Zara, I flew into Boston and whenever i'm in the city i HAVE to hit up Newbury St. The first thing i picked up is the gray shift dress.

          It's super simple from the front and i picked it up thinking i would hate it in all honesty, the gray part feels kind of like a softer, worn in burlap material (doesn't sound very appealing i know, i just can't really describe it) and the white lining is a chiffon. I love the way the white hangs down at the bottom and adds a little girly touch. It's a drop waist and is gathered in the back. This is one of those things that has ALL the design in back. I love anything with pockets too!

        Next I beelined straight for the leggings to pick up these black high waisteds. I had bought the navy in this style back in September and have been thinking about the black ones ever since. I love that the top of these leggings is kind of like a control top, it sucks everything in! So i feel comfortable wearing a cropped top with them.

      Such as this baby pink 3/4 length sweater! Its really simple but i think it will go with a bunch of things in my closet

      Finally i grabbed this tank off the sale rack, it was $30 marked down to $6! I love the royal blue collar and it has a really cool texture in the front of the body.

      Then i went to Urban Outfitters and picked up some socks with lace around the ankle that i thought would look super cute with booties and the gray dress for spring. And because i got my cleanser taken away by TSA i had to stop into ULTA. I picked up the L'oreal Go Clean Deep Cleanser  and the Pur Minerals Melt Away make up emulsifier. Going into ULTA is always dangerous for a beauty junkie so of course i walked out with more than i went in looking for. I picked up the Cargo HD translucent powder and the L'oreal Voluminous Butterfly mascara. I've heard a lot of beauty gurus on YouTube rave about these and let's be honest people, the L'oreal commercials just suck you in! The wand is really cool and different on this mascara so I'm excited to try it!

       It's a miracle that i didn't walk out of ULTA with some sort of lip product as thats usually my weakness, but theres always next time right?

Rebecca Minkoff Splurge or Save?

               So i've realized lately that when it comes right down to it i HATE spending money. Now i'll drop $20, $30, $50 without really thinking about it but when it comes to something i've been lusting over for awhile and haven't been able to afford I hang on to the bills like my life depends on it. Saying that I have recently gotten my tax return and i want to get myself something nice as my birthday is coming up. Hence the blog title! I have been drooling of the Mini Mac And MAC clutch bags for about 2 years now and just always found something better to spend my money on. It's interesting how i will just go out and buy that new eyeshadow palate thats so gorgeous *cough, Lorac Pro, cough* but when it comes to this $195 (or $290 for the MAC clutch) bag i turn into the goblins at Gringotts Bank. Now yes, that is an extreme amount of money on a handbag but it's something that i would get SO much use out of and is a very classic bag that really wouldn't go out of style. HELP!! I just can't seem to enter my credit card information. Am i just teasing myself with pictures or do i actually not need it and is that why i can't purchase. Here are so pictures from the Rebecca Minkoff website of my obsession. For those who aren;t familiar with Rebecca Minkoff the initials stand for: Morning After Clutch. Which I think is hilarious and maybe 15% of the reason i'm in love with the bags.

                                              The pink is the mini version for $195

And this beauty is the MAC clutch for $295

Does anyone else have this problem parting with money on items that could be well worth the price tag but throw it away on things that probably aren't worth it?

Welcome!

Hello my name is Cait and i have a shopping addiction.

     Well now that that is out of the way, hey there! I'm a 22 (almost 23 YIKES!) student (sorta), makeup addict, fashion admirer, and travel enthusiast. I have been back and forth with the idea of blogging for awhile now and it probably would have been a great thing to start when i went to Paris for 2 months or when i found out i would have to take the year off school but instead i decided to start at a completely random moment in the middle of the night. Typical Me.

       I love anything and everything beauty and fashion! I have a serious makeup addiction, as stated above, and my collection continues to grow. I would love to share my thoughts and impressions of the products i love and not so love with anyone who cares to read about them. I also love fashion and work at DKNY at the Outlets in my hometown. I actually love my job and enjoy most of the customers i get to interact with.

      So, to anyone who is actually reading thanks for suffering through my ramblings and welcome to my blog!!
