Target happened..again..

Ok.. so I know I promised myself I would behave and keep myself under control when I go to Target and stick to ONLY what's on the list.. buuttttt... I blame it on my partner in crime, Stacy. That's right Stacy! It's all of your fault.. especially when we're perusing the aisles and she says "what else can we get unnecessarily? I feel like my cart isn't full enough!" HA!
So with that said.. I actually only went to accompany her to Target, and to buy some tissues people. That's it, just tissues. Well, 1 crockpot, cleaning supplies, snacks, and a cute pair of oxfords later.. I got the tissues.
But.. check out how adorable these glitter oxfords are with the contrast pink outsole. :) I was so excited to find these (in the girls aisle) as I've been looking for a black pair of oxfords but just a little bit of pizzazz, since I don't like the overly masculine look. And thanks to the fascinating finds of the budget chic instagrammer girls I follow at Target does it again, I was inspired to get my own pair.

Who said cookie jars are just for cookies?

While skimming through Pinterest for all the DIY's, home decor & organizing solutions.. I came across this fabulous little idea of taking your nail polish bottles and stashing them in a fancy glass candy/cookie jar so you're able to see all of your colors, save space, and display a clever and cute storage solution.

So, I decided to give it a try.. and for only spending $4.99 on this cute lil jar @ Marshall's, I think it's totally worth it! :)

Fast Fashion Fix

I had an urge to pick up a few fun pieces from Forever 21 this week. Lately I've been coveting the whole printed denim/patterned pants look and wanted to get a pair of my own but didn't want to spend too much on my first pair. So I ran into Forever 21 as I was eyeing these new safari printed skinnies through their window as I walk to work in the morning.
And since I had plans to see the Jay-Z concert at the new Barclays center with my bff sporting our new Brooklyn Nets t-shirts, I wanted to pair my shirt with a fun printed bottom. Well, voila! This was our concert gear :)~

(a few pics of the concert below)


I also found this cute tan/black vertical striped blouse with removable scarf tie for versatility

Mustard - the color, not the condiment

I love mustard yellow, and mixing golden tones with cognacs, deep blues/teals and browns in clothing, accessories or even decor. I've even painted a living room wall in my last apartment a cornhusk yellow, seen below.
I just picked up these fun mustard denim leggings last week from Express. They are so comfortable, with a sateen feel and super affordable.

Love these inspiration boards:
