Nasty Gal - April 2012 Lookbook

If you are an avid reader of my blog, you know how much I love Nasty Gal. I visit the site on a daily basis as they are always uploading more and more rad (yes, that's the most appropriate word) stuff. I can't get enough of the funky, cool, colorful vibe of their inventory. How amazing would it be if I was the winner of their $10,000 shopping spree contest?!? The IDEAL graduation gift. I think I'd die...wishful thinking.

But hey, a girl can dream, can't she?

In the meantime while I wait for them to announce the winner, I will lust over their April 2012 lookbook. And now you can too.

Love always, Em.

Nasty Gal Christmas

LOVE Nasty Gal's Christmas looks!

I asked for the furry cheetah purse for Christmas so let's see if Santa pulls through:)

recent purchases

First of all, let me apologize for my extreme absence lately. With Thanksgiving break and having family in town and now back at school preparing for finals, I don't have much free time. I promise over the next two weeks that I'll do my best to post as regularly as possible!

So, of course the first thing I did upon arriving back home was SHOP! The mall by my house is incredible and has every store from Nordstrom to Forever 21 to American Apparel to Steve Madden to Urban Outfitters to Lord & Taylor to Louis Vuitton to Anthropologie to J. Crew to Neiman Marcus!

Here are some things I've purchased recently (not all over break, I'm not that much of a shopaholic!) Some of these items were purchased online, some at the mall, and some at small boutiques in my hometown:)

Forever 21, Twelve by Twelve Velvet Burnout Skirt, $29

Gap, Jeweled epaulette T in black, $39.50 [You can't see the detailing well, but there are bejeweled accents where the sleeves are pinched in]

Gap, center seam dolman sweater, $49.50 [Mine is an olive color but they didn't have that online]

Nordstrom, Cara Accessories Crystal Bow Headband, $38

Nordstrom, Cara Accessories 'Wrapped Jewels' Head Wrap, $38

Ann Taylor Loft, Cotton Hoodie, $59.50

Lulus, Cupid Neutral 35 Nude Velvet and Patent Stiletto Heels, $28

Urban Outfitters, Patent Wingtip High Top, $38

Ann Taylor Loft Army Green Asymmetrical Leather Jacket, on sale for $99

Nordstrom, Navy Blue Sequined Fingerless Gloves

Alexandra's boutique, Splendid Aqua Velour Stripe Tank

As you can see, I've bought a variety of things: some basics, some eclectic accessories, some classics and some funky things as well. I love to mix it up!

Loving this blush shade in such a stand-out shoe. The combination of this pale, soft color and the bold design make it a perfectly balanced shoe. Girly-girl with a rebellious side. <3
