An Addicting Shopping Site

Some of you may be familiar with the AliExpress website. If you're not, I'm going to go right ahead and tell you...

YOU'RE WELCOME.

Why? Because I have literally found almost every trendy item I've searched for whenever I would see something I just fell in love with on Pinterest, a blog, an ad, etc. I have a thing for searching keywords on the Internet and must say I've got quite the talent in it...I tell my friends I literally can find ANYTHING I'm coveting on the Internet. If a site says it's unavailable, I will dig and dig until I find it...and pretty much, I usually do. I will say a large part of it is due to this website in particular.

And they are oh. So. Cheap. I can also vouch that they are legit and literally the same quality if you had paid full price at the store or website. 

Case in point:

My Valentino Rockstud pumps. I'm pretty sure between price and shipping I paid no more than $60 for these. Their retail price? $995.00


They've got the Valentino label stitched in the heel and came in an authentic Valentino shoebox. And they are every bit as beautiful as I imagined.

Other items I've found?

The popular J.Crew Herringbone vest.

What did I pay for this little number that runs about $108.00 on the J. Crew Factory website? $25.49. Yes, you read that right. It's on it's way to me as I type.

Next item: Hunter Rain Boots. It is hard to find these for under $100.00. I think the lowest I ever saw them for was $70 on a major site sale. How much am I paying for them on AliExpress - and for a wide choice of colors, both matte and glossy? $49.99. Yep.



I am just IN LOVE with this website. I love fashion, but I also have a need to be frugal. This has changed my wardrobe possibilities for sure. My most recent find {and I'm super proud because I had to do some major research to find this baby and my jaw dropped when I did actually find it on the site! I seriously thought it was a long shot.} is this Isabel Marant sweater I saw in this outfit I pinned on Pinterest. The original pin basically led me nowhere with not even a name of the sweater or designer. But the sweater is just so me and I had to go on the search for it. I found the original, it was not only unavailable on the site I first found it on, but it was priced at $400.00! I wanted to cry.


Casual street fashion style - multicolour sweater, denim jeans and bag.

I can't wait to pair it with those Valentino Rockstud pumps, similar to how the outfit is in the picture.

Hope you'll head to AliExpress and sign up! It's so worth your while, I promise.

Pink & Leopard

{ Betsey Johnson Aviators / Scarf - Similar / Kate Spade Handbag - Similar / Valentino Heels / Jeans / Tank - Similar }

If you know me personally, you know I love pink. Add leopard to that? Absolutely. Here's a fun little outfit I put together that's great for the office, a night out, or if you're like me, hanging out at home fabulously. ;-)

Five Things

Yesterday's mail officially made this one of the best weeks in history. I'll tell you why.

{one}

These babies finally arrived:



Like I told my friend, I now have 5 babies...Tanner, Breckin, Farrah and these shoes.

I'm super-stoked. Ok, so now onto:

{two}

At my baby shower last March, my guests and I painted onesies for Farrah. She's now grown out of most of them, but I remembered I still had the fabric paint stashed away somewhere, so I pulled it out and made a few more! I think I'll be doing this on a regular basis as she grows out of them! It's actually pretty fun. The boys saw them and wanted to make one for her too, so I'll have to go buy some more onesies to paint.


{three}

Farrah turned 5 months old yesterday and earlier this week she rolled over for the first time!


{four}

On Tuesday, while Tanner was at school, I took advantage of Boone Hall Farms' Twofer Tuesday and took Breckin and Farrah to the pumpkin patch. It was lovely fall weather for it. {Don't worry, I of course plan to take Tanner when we all go as a family, it was just a fun thing to take Breckin to do during the day.}
 




That's B on some spiderweb thing...my camera ran out of room while we were there, so I didn't get many pictures! But we went on the hayride, he played on all the things they had there - jump houses, big jump pillows, slides, swings, etc. and we fed the goats.

{five}

It's fall again and it's time for me to decide what to do about my hair...go brunette, or continue with the blonde? Just before I had Farrah, I had a couple of salon sessions to get full highlights in and I haven't {nor have I really had the time to have} done anything since. So now I've got like 4-inch long roots and I'm in desperate need of at least a trim. {I'm trying to grow it really long again.} So what do you think?

Blonde....


or Brunette?


Sorry, it's a pretty old pic because I haven't been super-dark brunette in a while, which is what I would want to do if I went brunette again.

Help me decide! Let me know your vote in the comments!
