I desperately want a cute, black, quilted shoulder bag! I am obsessed with these 2 from Marc Jacobs and Rebecca Minkoff. 

Sole Searching

One of the first things people ask me when I tell them I am getting married in a year is if I have found my dress yet. Well, lucky for me, my good friend (and bridesmaid!) Heather is a fabulous designer and she is making my wedding dress. Heather knows my style and it has been fun sending each other pictures of fabulous gowns for inspiration. I can't wait to see what she designs, and I know it is going to be perfect! The only downside to my custom-made gown is that I don't really have any reason to go shopping for one, so I have decided to devote all that shopping energy to the perfect wedding shoes! I was picking up mascara at Nordstrom's last night when I walked by these AMAZING glittery pink Jimmy Choo peep toes! Definitely a candidate!

The Best Dollar Store Ever

Ok, so I wasn't sure if I even wanted to share this, as I am already afraid the competition for amazing deals is going to be brutal, but, I felt is was bad bargain shopping karma to keep it to myself. TheOutnet.com, which is the sister discount site to net-a-porter.com, is having a major sale to celebrate it's 1st birthday. The sale will include tons of designer items with everything priced at $1. Thats right ONE DOLLAR! As I said, I am sure the site will be so overloaded the day of the sale it may be hard to get anything, but its worth a try! Judy, you could even get another pair of totally awesome sequin shorts :) Click here to go to the site and RSVP to have the link emailed to you on the day of the sale, April 16th. If you don't RSVP, you can't go to the sale site. I wish you all the best of luck!!

Crossbody Bags

I am loving the crossbody bag trend right now. They are so convenient, and there are so many cute options. The only problem is that most of them are a bit out of my price range at the moment. Last summer, Becca Crow had the cutest Rebecca Minkoff bag, so I was inspired to search her site. I found the BF Pouch, and I am obsessed! Its the perfect size for my phone, camera, a small card wallet and lipgloss. The strap length is perfect, the bag sits right at my hip. It seems like a steal at $150 and I can already tell it is going to get a lot of use this summer!

LowLuv

Last night Trey and I went to a trunk show for model and Dallas native, Erin Wasson's new jewelry line, LowLuv. The event was at my favorite Dallas store, although I can rarely afford to buy anything there, V.O.D. They carry such cute lines such as, Zero Maria Cornejo, Alexander Wang and Isabel Marant, just to name a few. Also, we hang work from the gallery on consignment and they are currently showing several Allison V. Smith photographs. LowLuv is such a cute line! I got this fantastic long gold ring with hieroglyphic style engravings (worn with my Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James cobra ring). The ring was $65 and there were several other affordable pieces that I would love to own. I had my eye on a really cool gold necklace and hopefully Trey got the hint ;). I am not sure what other stores are carrying the line, but since Erin supposedly spends a lot of time in Austin and New York, I am sure she is in boutiques in both places. So be on the look out for these hip, affordable jewels!
