My New Favorite Accessory

Ponytail Scarves

I bought this ponytail scarf from the Coach store in the Pier Shops at Atlantic City, last summer.  Up until about 2 weeks ago, I used it only as a headband, tied at my neck.  Then, one day instead of wearing it on my head, I decided to tie it to my simple, H+M bag.  I feel like it makes my bag look so much better.  So, finding more ponytail scarves has become my new obsession. (:  Unfortunately Coach is the only store I've found so far that has a wide selection.  I've tried using different terms like scarflettes and hair scarves, but I still haven't found a lot.  Here are a couple from Coach that I really like.

Since I love scarves, I feel like these are a great transition from Winter to Spring, for me. (:

Opposite of Ugg-ly.

I stumbled across these gorgeous sandals from Ugg Australia and I absolutely love them!

Unfortunately, they're $120, so I'll have to look around for maybe a cheaper substitute, hehe.

Happy Wednesday

This one will be a quickie, since I have to go pack.  I'm going to the Great Wolf Lodge, tomorrow ;D   It should be fun.  We're staying over night.  For those of you who don't know, it's an indoor water park.  I get to wear my new bathing suits that I bought on clearance at the end of the summer.  
I've been shopping deprived until last Saturday, when I bought that cute blazer, if you remember.  Today I made some more purchases.  If you haven't checked out the Urban Outfitters sale, do it.  Now.  It is amazing!  Some items are up to 80% off.  I couldn't buy that much because I don't have time for a job this year D:  I've been trying to make my money last.  So, after much deliberation, I decided on two pairs of Maryjanes and a button down shirt.

I also browsed Forever 21.  I debated buying the pumps below, but they have 5" heels and I'm not sure if I could handle being 5'11".  I plan on doing some more shopping in Forever 21 but maybe when I get back from my vacation.

Forever 21

Marina Makaron Moscow

Urban Outfitters

There are SO many possibilities when it comes to bold and colorful prints.  I am IN LOVE with Anna Sui's Spring line.  It's so vibrant and young.  I wanted to post every piece in the collection here, but eleven will do.    One of my favorites was the opened, patterned dress.  Another was the blue jacket and skirt with white appliques and amazing gladiator sandals.

Ah, Alexander McQueen.  His death is such a tragedy.  Just look at his Spring collection!  I adore the abstract patterns.  I especially loved the asymmetrical piece.  It really makes you look twice.  The last royal blue piece is ethereal. (<--One of my vocabulary words, for English. ;D)

 I know I've been going on about how much I love color and vibrancy but, I do like the subtlety of Cynthia Rowley's collection.   The purple tones are really nice.  I'm also a fan of jumpsuits.  I find her take interesting.

I found the top from Forever 21 in the boutique section.  There were other variations of the pattern, as well. 

 I learned about Marina Makaron Moscow from another blogger, Marjorie.  Here's the link to her blog:

Shine By Three  There you can find an interview with the designer.

Anyway, the patterns Marina Makaron designs are absolutely beautiful.  The bow at the top is also one of her designs.

Urban Outfitters never lets me down. (:  I love the geometric print on the first one and as for the second one, I've always been a fan of florals.

Apparently, Forever 21 shares my obsession with elephants.

So, basically I wish I could buy everything from Urban Outfitters.

Silence and Noise is my favorite brand ♥
