Small Ross Haul

I spent the weekend at my brothers house in LA and while there my brother decided he wanted to go to Ross and do a little shopping.  Since I didn't want to stay home alone I decided to tag along. How convenient huh? lol. 

One of my resolutions for the year is to shop less. I'm tyring to make use of what I have in my closet and I ask myself twince before purchasing any items. I'm trying mostly to stray away from buying so much clothes. However,  the hardest thing I find myself saying no to are shoes! I couldn't resist when I came across some Fergie heels for only $13.00! Anyway, here are the few things I picked up at Ross. 

I bought this journal to do some scrap-booking and writing. Since writing is another to-do on my resolutions for the year, I bought a new journal that I plan on carrying with me at all times to write about anything that comes to mind and even use for scrap-booking with clippings from magazines, newspapers, or pictures even.  The goal is to fill the book before the end of the year!

The journal is very heavy duty and feels really soft to the touch. I also liked the pink and black stitching and lettering and the gold on the pages. The only thing I would have preferred was if it was college ruled as opposed to wide ruled but you can't go wrong for only six bucks. 

I ran out of my regular shampoo (Suave Professionals) and wanted to try something new since I've been using the same stuff for quite some time now and figured I can also do a review afterwards. Since I have curly hair, I decided to try Curly Sexy Hair by Sexy Hair Products. I purchased the moisturizing shampoo and conditioner at Ross for 1/2 the price I'd normally pay at salon prices. Each bottle cost me $9.99 for 33 fl. oz. This should last a while. 

I found this light weight sweater cardigan sweater dress. I'll probably wear this alone with some leggings or shorts underneath during the spring/summer. 

I finally got my hands on this baby! I found this coat at my local Ross not too long ago and unfortunately for me at the time they didn't carry my size.  I blogged about it  and said I'd get my hands on it eventually and when I saw it I couldn't resist! I think I dropped 3 other items just to take this one home! I'm glad I found it. 

And finally, those Fergie heels I mentioned earlier. I now have some hot purple shoes to dress up my Laker Jersey with! 

They almost  appear to have a fuchsia tone to it, but it's my camera that alters the color. They're purple with a hint of pink I suppose. Either way, I love em and think they're hot and I can't wait to wear them! I have so many shoes now its ridiculous but like they say, we can never have too many shoes! I do however, have a few shoes I will be getting rid of. I owe my FB friends and subscribers an overdue sale of items in my closet! Stay tuned!

I'll close it here because tomorrow is my first day back to work after an awesome 2 weeks off work and I'll be starting work at 6am! I already know I will not want to wake up and must make a habit of sleeping earlier and prepping outfits and lunch the night before! Hope everyone has an amazing week!

Ross Haul

Last week I went to Ross and picked up a few items. I was mostly looking for Xmas presents for the family, but who shops for xmas gifts and doesn't pick anything for themselves?

I got this lovely top by Kenneth Cole for 12.99. The material is very light weight and sheer. Perfect for the office, and easy to dress up or down. I can easily wear this in the summer despite the slouchy turtle neck because it's so sheer.

Kenneth Cole New York Top Original Price $69.00

I couldn't help but pick up a few more scarfs specially after noticing the mark downs and deals I was getting. The nude pink and black Viscose scarf is very soft and will definitely keep me warm. Picked it up for 9.99. I also picked up a nude beige Polyester Scarf which marked down to 6.99 so I couldn't pass it up.

The beige scarf is very light weight and sheer. Can be used to dress up a casual outfit. I liked the beading on the bottom, the light bounces off these beads and give it a more glamourous look.

Jones New York Polyester Scarf Original Price $38.00

Viscose Scarf Original Price $20

And with the winter now in session, I had to pick up a few more hats to keep warm.  I found a Grey wool hat from the Jessica Simpson collection for $5.99 and Gold Sequined hat for $6.99.

Left: Jessica Simpson Hat Original Price $19.99 Right: Capelli New York Hat Original Price:$18.00

And finally, I picked up this lovely handbag for $34.99. I'm not a handbag collector and rarely buy expensive handbags but decided to treat myself before the year ended. I liked the ruffling on this handbag and the fact that it's so big inside and I can use it with just about any outfit.

Big Buddha Marie Black Ruffled Satchel Handbag Original Price: $89.00

And that makes up my last haul of the year. I haven't made any resolutions for 2011, but I know I would like to haul less, that's for sure! 

On A Sunday Afternoon



On my way to Grace' House

 This location is one of my favorite areas to drive through on my way North. I love the feeling of passing this area, it's so calming and beautiful. I was on my way to pick up Grace from YT. We decided to hit up Ross and do a little shopping.

This is what I wore for the night. As you may or may not know, I am a die hard Laker fan and today my team was playing the Golden State Warriors which we seriously beat with an ass kicking score of 115 to 89, giving us our 12th win of the season! I was excited and had to sport my team and show my support.

Authentic Lakers Jersey #17 Andrew Bynum (my boyfriend ^_^)

Purple Long Sleeve Cardigan

Denim Print Leggings

Carmel Toned Mid Calf Boots

EYE MAKEUP

Makeup Used:
Kat Von D Palette-True Romance: Sinner, Rad Purple, Leather,

HOT PICKS @ ROSS

Here are a few items I found at Ross that were a size too damn small and therefore didn't make it into my haul this time around, but I decided to take pictures and share with you all anyway. Had they fit me, they would have defintely made it into my cart and into my closet. Unfortunately, however they were a size too small and therefore no point spending money on something I wont be able to wear and the hell if I'll try and lose weight just to fit into them. I could always find something similar if not better, elsewhere.





Black Leather Jacket by Guess

I've really been into leather lately and am still on the hunt for two more leather jackets. This one,I loved! I want a leather jacket that will be snug and comfortable not too tight and no room to flex. Unfortunately, Large was the last size in it :( 


Turquoise Sweater Coat

   This turquoise sweater coat was really nice as well. I know it looks kinda frumpy in this picture but I didn't bother removing my purple cardigan when I threw this one over but in person it looked a lot cuter and with the right outfit, this sweater can really liven up an outfit and keep you nice and warm.

Must Have: Black and White Button Up Coat

This black and white coat may have passed me up now, but I will be on the hunt for one just like it soon. This is a perfect coat for the upcoming and fast approaching winter time. I plan on finding something like this soon! It's defintely a must have in my closet.



Grace and I



And here's a picture of Grace and I trying on the same coat! We had an amazing time. After shopping we had dinner and did a video together. She also gave me a goodie bag as an early x-mas present and some hand me down tops which I loved! I will post them here later and also update this post this evening with pictures of the items I hauled away last night and possibly even a Haul video for you to see.
