Howdy people of the Interwebs! What could possibly be better than a post telling you about the things I've bought and am planning to buy? You get to live vicariously through me and my shopping addiction without having to spend your own money. Mwahahaha. I'll be sitting here looking into my wallet and sobbing.
But enough of that mopey stuff - I bought some thingies and I'm really pumped about them.
The first two items I got are from C. Wonder. They are currently going out of business and are having major deals on their website! At first, the entire store was 50% off, but now things have progressed to being 75% off. I seriously couldn't pass this up.
As much as I wanted the Stubbs and Wooton Screw U Loafers (see this blog post), I had to be realistic about things. $450 for a pair of shoes is just not happening for this college gal. But when I saw these Kiss Me loafers on the website for just $37, I knew I had to have them. Gotta put a positive spin on things, right? Kiss Me sounds a lot better than Screw U, amirite?
While I was on the site, I decided to browse housewares. I normally wouldn't even look at this section, but figured there might be an awesome deal since everything was 75% off. Boy I was right. Among the cutting boards and trinket trays I found the monogrammed mug in my initial for $3. They still have a few left in select letters! (Having a name that starts with V has its perks)
Today I stopped by some outlet stores before I head back to school on Thursday. I needed a new cosmetic bag, and I knew that Vera Bradley would have exactly what I was looking for. I don't love Vera Bradley all the time, since it can be rather overwhelming, but they carry a lot of great practical pieces that are hard to find elsewhere.
This cosmetic bag is in the print Ribbons, and was on sale for only $12 (60% off the whole outlet store, wahoo!). I like the large cosmetic bag because it can fit lots of makeup brushes, larger sized cosmetics and toiletries, and my Lorac Pro Palette!
Laugh at me when I tell you the next thing, but I got four (yes that's f-o-u-r, 4, IV, cuatro) of the Smartphone Wristlet. Now let me explain: Vera is redoing their Smartphone Wristlet, and the new design doesn't have a nifty card slot on the back. The card holder is still there, but it's on the inside. Now that is just a big, ole, giant, fat NO NO on my end. At Hopkins, we have to swipe into our dorms, the dining hall, and lots of other buildings. I need to have my ID handy at all times, so the ID slot on the outside is a must for me. I stocked up in the following prints: Jazzy Blooms, Heather, Midnight Blues, and Suzani.
While I was at the outlets, I stopped by the Hunter outlet and tried on some rainboots! The pair I have now is great, but I find that they are relatively loose around my calves. The Hunters fit much tighter, and are a lot more neutral than the houndstooth pair I own now. I'm thinking of either Red or Hunter Green, but I haven't picked anything out yet. At least I know what my proper size is!
WHICH ONE WILL WIN?!?!?!
Among other things, I also am really into the Kate Spade phone cases! I was at their outlet store as well and found some that are so adorable, but unfortunately won't fit my phone. Most cases now are made for the iPhone 5/5s and 6, or the Galaxy S4. I have the Galaxy S3, and so most of the cases for the phone have come and gone. I found this interesting case on Amazon, but haven't made any purchases yet. Anyone know of any good places to buy S3 cases?
Welp that's all for Victoria and the Adventures of Spending Too Much Money. Talk to you guys later!
