Spring Shopping

Monday, March 8th, 2010 | 50 Comments

Since I don’t plan on ordering anything from 109 or WC (for however long that lasts, lol) I started buying a few spring items!! They’re finally in store and I’m just too excited to contain myself! I got a few things this past week + weekend.

The Tops

From Target!
I loved this the moment I saw it! I didn’t buy it right away. I tried not to buy it at all, but when I tried it on I just had to have it. I want to match it with my new khaki shorts. I’m going to take this to Japan since we’ll be going in the burning summer!!

Ruffle vest from H&M!!
I’ve been wanting a lace or ruffle vest badly!! :getit: I’ve tried on a lot of them to be honest, but I liked this one and when I saw it was only $9 I went ahead and bought it, LOL.

I’ve missed my gold paint wall!
In the winter no sunlight comes in so I forget how pretty the paint is. *_* Thankfully the sun’s been out for days! And it’s still in the low 60’s! Maybe all the snow will melt this week

Onto the shoes. OK, I bought a number of shoes… Three to be exact. A pair of short cowboy boots, some new black heels, and some flip flops.

The Shoes

Short cowboy boots!
Got these for $30 at JCPenney’s

Black studded heels!
From H&M. Does anyone remember how I said I tried these on? It was when I got the patchwork denim. I decided to snag them this weekend!! :getit: I’m really happy I did! I took them to work today to break them in. They’re soft, but sturdy. And they don’t slip off my feet when I try to walk. :good: I like the height. Taller than kitten heels but not a stiletto so I could see myself wearing these for long shopping hours! Ho~ ho~ ho~ I have high hopes for these heels. I want them to replace my pink heels as my “comfy heel.”

The pretty pattern insole is my own, not H&M’s. I put insoles in most all my shoes :good:

Rhinestone flip flops!
From Target. On sale tonight for $10, LOL
I really, reaaaaaaally wanted something like this LAST SUMMER after seeing a pretty pair from Alba Rosa. Well no luck last year. So I thought I’d pick these up when I saw them. My favorite pair of black flip flops are wearing thin, so maybe these will be comfy and matchable enough to take their place.

There’s a trend here really. I’m having to replace some of my old clothes. Either for fit or just wear ‘n tear. Speaking of I got my Free People dress back today!! It fits great! Though a tad more fitted in the shoulders than I’m used to. :F It’s OK, I’m just used to loose clothing, LOL. The fitted shoulders really give it nice straight lines. Plus now the skirt is fuller on the bottom because she only took in the sides! YES! I love it.

I took a few snaps but on my blackberry, real tiny too because they’re really meant to mail to my friend. No worries, I’ll be wearing this outfit sometimes soon again! :good:

Lastly an adorable owl postcard from Cin~~~!!

I’m sure the resemblance to Jeffery Campbell was no accident on h&m’s part, lulz!

Yes! B/c I got the new flyer in from them and guess what was on the back??? A freakin’ cancan hat!!! From their new line, which looks highly Topshop inspired. So i went to see if they had it. No luck… but these boots were on sale at least

I’m starting to wonder if the H&M in America sell different things from the ones in Asia .___.;; Never seen those before here!

Your outfit from the mirror shots are soooooo TGC S/S, super uber cuteness v

jenny said
March 9, 2010 @ 9:10 am

I dunno really. I know in the beginning the US wouldn’t get A LOT of the Euro stuff which made me sad :(

i love the new collection! especially the floral print!~ i’ve been looking for some pretty floral prints but no luck so far D:

jenny said
March 9, 2010 @ 11:18 am

The postcard was so colorful!! I took it to work to brighten up my dull cubicle.

Yea I really liked the print a lot! It’s still not easy to find pretty florals just yet. Maybe for summer or something?

ok, your newly-fitted free people dress is SOOO perfect for the western/girly trend!!! ahh jenny, so cute~ ;P

i have a pair of black slouchy boots similar to yours and i wear them waaaay too much, haha. LOVE!!
though now you make me want to go shoe shopping so badly -_- i need a cute heel like those black ones.

jenny said
March 9, 2010 @ 11:19 am

I had the hardest time choosing between brown or black boots!! I hope I can wear mine as much as you do

Oh I haven’t seen that floral top at Target. Well I know our Targets around here don’t get all the clothing other ones do. XP

I love the items you got, they all fit the spring season very well. Oh no, should I cave and buy cowboy boots too?? No! I must resist and save money

That’s so great that the dress was altered properly, your coordinate look absolutely perfect! Just like from a magazine ^^ Oh and W*C bag in the background

jenny said
March 9, 2010 @ 11:21 am

Awe poo. Well the tops are really new so maybe they’ll show up later?

I totally caved on the boots. I found a few pair last year I liked and managed to put them down. Glad I did I guess since these were way cheaper than the pair i liked at Zara’s last summer :X

Ahh I saw that ruffle vest when I went to H&M last weekend. Super adorable but I didn’t get it. D: But I do agree about getting a lace vest though! I saw a girl with a lace vest at school.. and it looked exactly like the one on Poupee! She said she got it at Wet Seal!

I totally knew you got the shoes from JCPennys with out you saying it, since I work there! Hehe~ It’s so hard working and seeing cute shoes. ;_;

jenny said
March 9, 2010 @ 5:26 pm

Yea F21 had a bunch of lace vests too! There is 1 in particular I really, really wanted but they were out of my size and I sorta gave up when I bought this h&m one, hahaa.

I really like the shoes you bought, especially the boots, I’m looking for this kind of boots xP
I also have black heels pretty similar to yours, I love wearing them cause the heels are not high so I can wear them the whole day and my feet aren’t hurt
And I love your outfit ! Hope the weather will get warmer soon so you can wear it xP

Ohoho…I will be flying to target to see if it got anything similar to that lovely shirt in store!! You always find cute things I want to buy right away

jenny said
March 9, 2010 @ 5:24 pm

There are a couple of different patterns to choose from too ! Good luck!!

Rachel said

Love the boots! & the heels. I saw the ruffle vest at H&M last week but they don’t have the white one here only pink. I think the white one sold out :(
I wish they made the same type of vest but out of lace. A lace ruffle vest .

Nice coordination of the dress + jeans top + cowboy boots!

 
Ham-Cham said
March 9, 2010 @ 9:21 pm

Ohh~ Your coordinate at the end is TOO CUTE!~ ^ ^
It looks just like something you’d see in a magazine * // *
I really, really, really… love the boots… DD Cowboy boots are really cute when worn nicely~ And I love how you wore them
Though I’ve never owned a pair… lol~ Maybe that’s a goal for this summer? Ahaha~

You always seem to find the best deals! Your style is very cute too. I absolutely adore the ruffle vest! It’s so cute and flirty!

Those cowboy boots are so adorable; I’ve always want to find a pair of decent boots but I can never find them. I’ll definitely have to check out JC Penny. Also, OMG~~~ That first top is beautiful!! I’m so envious of your shopping skills; you always find the best items!!

 
March 10, 2010 @ 4:04 am
