Wishful Wednesday :: Cyber Window Shopping

I like to window internet shop. I don't know about you but I always add a ton of things to my cart. Things I absolutely think I have to have. And then, I "X" out of the window and just "pretend" that I never saw those things or stop myself from spending money I don't have. It's so easy to virtual window shop from home, in your PJs, guilt-free with no one watching.

Going to window shop with you here.

Lazy Oaf Camera Shopper Tote

Rag & Bone Jean Jacket w/ Leather Sleeves

TopShop Structured Blazer

Sam Edelman Yelena Strappy



Nasty Gal Bright Angle Blazer

Sunday Market Tote in Cat

 How could I not like this "Kat" tote??



Ray-Ban Clubmaster Sunnies

In a perfect world, I would be able to pull off any style of frame/sunglass such as the one pictured above. But alas, I'll have to remove these from the cart. Darn.


ASOS Sleeveless Top with Spot Print & Peplum

Is anyone else as weird as me? Please don't let me feel alone on the virtual window shopping! If you also do the same thing, what are some of the things you put into your cart?

Spring into the Gap

The friendboy and I were trying to kill some time by walking around the mall for a bit while waiting to meet some friends for dinner last Friday. We decided to shop a bit... never a safe idea.

While I have not purchased anything from Gap in years, I was pleasantly surprised by my findings in the sales section!

Pink Blazer (unlined) 30% off $40! Similar here

I really liked this pink blazer. I currently have a blush pink linen blazer (that you may have seen here) as well as a forest green, golden yellow, black, white, and ivory. I am still trying to build up my blazer collection.

Gap is also offering 25% off online orders through 4/18 with promo code GAPSAVE.

Blush Pink Pleated Trench Coat, found here. On sale for $49 with 30% off!

I've always wanted a trench coat. This color was cute. It looks more tan in this picture but I can gaurantee you that it is more blush than it is tan.It was a little big. Sizes at Gap tend to run a bit larger... which makes me feel a little better. This was a small. I could have easily taken an XS. Unsual for me.

Charcoal gray Pin-Striped Blazer, on sale from $40 with 30% off. Way too big. The smallest size left was a size 6!
Found here

Again, my love for blazers led me to try on the above pin-striped coat. Luckily for my wallet, I was not able to find a smaller size.

Green Utility Skirt, similar here (I kind of like the linked ASOS skirt better)

I have been hunting down a green skirt in quite some time now. This isn't the exact type of green skirt that I was looking for but at 30% off. Who could beat that? It has pockets! Unfortunately, the stylish security pin on the right does NOT come with the skirt. But I think I'll be able to manage without.

I came in wearing this:

Just Around the Corner

According to Gaga in her "Marry the Night" video, she says that Mint is going to BIG this Spring at approximately 1:08. Yeah well, she was right. It's all over the place and in time, if not early, for Spring!

I'm not as big on pastels as I used to be in high school. I really haven't touched much of it except for some blush pink hues in my wardrobes. Today, I gave mint a chance.

Mixing it Up :: Oldies but Goodies

Every year, I go through my closet to see if there's something that I can donate (and also make more space... it gets quite packed in my small closet!). I found a gold pleather blazer that was given to me as a gift. I haven't worn it ever. And I always forget that I have it! Decided to play around with it. And I've decided, it's a keeper! I think I'll wear it out soon!

Don't mind my bad lighting. I really need to get a better light bulb!
