J.Crew Love

Have I mentioned that I LIVE for sales at J.Crew? It is virtually the only place I shop (besides Target) so I fill up my shopping cart online, then check the website every morning so that if there is a sale, I can just hit send!

30% off sale right now, with code LOVE IT. Just make sure it isn't final sale, because that makes it no fun. 

JCrew 30% Off Sale Purchases by alliefay featuring graphic hoodies

Those dresses have the best fit and length I have seen in a dress in a long time. With a cardigan, they will be perfect for many occasions and work. The stripe hoodie is going to be perfect to carry with me to San Francisco- it gets chilly at night! I've never tried on that tunic- but it looks so effortless for summer.


And these are the things remaining in my cart. They are still regular price, but as soon as they go on sale, and there is a 30% off sale sale, they will be mine!

JCrew Wish LIst May 2012 by alliefay featuring cuffed pants

That short sleeve sweatshirt looks so cozy for summer P.J's, and those linen trousers- to die for! I also love the length of this skirt, polka dots of any kind, and the pretty lace! Can you tell I'm obsessed with J.Crew ballet flats? I have an unhealthy number of pairs, but no other ballet flats compare. 

Getting Organized

....... it makes me happy. Calms me down. Makes me feel in control. Does it do the same for you?

Meet my pretty new work bag- the reason I went to the Kate Spade party with 20% off in the first place. It's big and beautiful and durable, but also easy to clean since it also is my lunch box. 

The only problem was that it wouldn't stand up on it's own, and that gets on my nerves. I have to carry a gazillion files with me on a daily basis, and they kept getting bent up and it was impossible to find what I needed. 

Enter this awesome invention. Which was exactly what I had in mind that I needed, even though I didn't know it existed. But it does!

It's basically just an open top, lightweight file box with handles that can be pushed down so they don't get in your way.

They were buy one, get one half off at Office Max, and they are miracle workers. My bag stands up perfectly now, and I can access whichever files I need without having to dig through a pile of messy, bent papers. 

This post wasn't sponsored, it's just that organization makes me this happy. And it impresses my boss. And then he brags on me. And that makes me super happy. :)

Weekend Rewind

It's been a long, but wonderful week starting my new job. I was telling one of my friends from my old store last night- I don't remember the last time I slept until my alarm went off for an entire week. Usually I'm up way before then, stressing or worrying about something ridiculous. It's been nice to have that stress lifted and put those things behind me, even if there are new stresses (but exciting ones) about starting my new job. 

This weekend was short and sweet for me. I picked up an overtime shift on Saturday to make some extra money- I've been enjoying my bike so much, I want to eventually upgrade to another one that is super fast. 

On Saturday while I was at work, Brandon found our long-lost cat, Boo-Boo, who you can read about here. We still can't believe it!

Sunday, by default, was my lazy day. It was awesome. I slept in, watched Hulu Plus, and relaxed all morning. In the afternoon, I went over to Kelly's to see Anniston and my parents. Kelly has a few pictures from the afternoon here. 

Kelly and I decided to go for a bike ride, and ended up riding for a little over an hour! Thank goodness, because I needed some exercise. When we got back, we were starving, so we headed to Swanky's for dinner. 

Don't you love how my mom is looking at some random object 10 feet to the right of me for no reason? I love that too. Love how easy it is to get a good picture of these two. {insert sarcasm}

After dinner, I headed promptly back to my bed to continue my day of laziness. More Hulu Plus was involved, and then a long, wonderful night of sleep. Sleeping until my alarm went off, again.  I could get used to this!
