YSL Yves Saint Laurent Fuchsia Tribute 75 Sandals - Saks Fifth Avenue

I've been eyeing these sandals for at least a month now, trying to decide between the mid-heel and the high-heel, and wondering how good of a color match they will be to the Chanel fuchsia lamb mini that should be arriving any day now. When I saw them go on pre-sale at Saks Fifth Avenue and found out the Chicago store had only one left in my size in the mid-heel version (the high heels sold out), I ordered them immediately...and I just received them today!!!





Valentino Azure Rockstud Slingbacks 65 - Farfetch

These are my first pair of blue shoes (but not boots, which I do already have) and I couldn't be happier that even though the color is called "azure" and "blue fluo", they actually ended up being a BMW blue!!! I got them from Stefania Mode via Farfetch, along with another pair of kitten heel rockstuds in Cyclamin (see my previous post).






Valentino Cyclamin Rockstud Slingbacks 65 - Farfetch

These arrived today along with another pair of Valentino rockstuds (see my next post) from Stefania Mode via Farfetch!!! I'm hoping these kitten heels in Cyclamin/Cyclamen will be a nice match with a bag that I'm waiting for, a Chanel fuchsia lamb mini that I pre-ordered in February.

Clinique Purple Lip & Nail Set - Nordstrom (Plus Clinique Bonus Gift!)

I received an email from Nordstrom that featured this free bonus gift with a $32 Clinique purchase, a Tracy Reese cosmetic bag with 7 Clinique products. Since I'm running low on skin toner (or "Clarifying Lotion" according to Clinique), I decided to take advantage of this well-timed offer and purchase the largest size, which coincidentally only costs $29. So I need to purchase something else by Clinique to get the bonus gift...of course!

Offer valid May 20, 2014 - June 8, 2014


After perusing all of the Clinique products at Nordstrom.com, I decided to get this Clinique Purple Lip & Nail Set which includes a full-size Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Color Balm in "Grandest Grape" plus A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skin in "Hot Date" for $19.50. I have a similar product in the Tarte line, the LipSurgence lip tint in "Moody" so I thought I would give the Clinique version a try...plus I love purple!

Born Crown Myndy Turquoise Coral Snakesin Sandals - Nordstrom Rack

Since I had already found two pairs of shoes during my Nordstrom Rack shopping trip on Friday, I was hesistant to get these turquoise and coral snakesin sandals simply because I wasn't sure what I would wear with them. But they are sooooooo comfy and gorgeous...and when I saw how beautifully they matched my Tiffany & Co. cardholder, I simply couldn't resist because a Tiffany blue small crossbody bag is on my wishlist!

Vince Camuto Padrita White Patent Leather Sandals - Nordstrom Rack

Lucky me...I found my second pair of white sandals at Nordstrom Rack today! I absolutely LOVE these Vince Camuto Padrita high heel sandals in crisp white patent leather! The raised platform makes the high heel so comfy to wear and I really appreciate the added boost since I'm only 5'3".

In fact, I loved these sandals so much after wearing them out to dinner tonight, I ordered the same pair in a gorgeous nude/taupe color I found on 6pm.com!

Isola Alary II White Patent Leather Sandals - Nordstrom Rack

Believe it or not, my closet has a void in the white shoes department. Yes, you heard right. I don't have any white sandals, flats, slippers, heels...and it's almost Memorial Day! So I went to my local Nordstrom Rack to see if I could rectify this situation and lucky me, I found this cute pair of Isola Alary II flats in white patent leather. The gold against the white really goes well with my OPI Jade is the New Black nail polish!

OPI Jade Is The New Black Nail Polish

When I go to yoga class, my Starbucks cup always comes with me...filled with water, of course! Maybe the Starbucks green has been giving me subliminal messages, maybe not. All I know is that when it came time to select a color to paint my nails, I was somehow drawn to this color that I've had for several months but never used until now: OPI Jade Is The New Black. Love it!

Surprise from Chanel Boutique - San Francisco, CA

Surprise! Yes, this was definitely a surprise for me...and I know it wasn't a gift from my husband. The return address on the box was from the Chanel Boutique in San Francisco, CA. The white ribbon and camellia are also tell-tale signs that this came from a Chanel Boutique. But what is it???


Sorry to keep you all in suspense...but I am going to include what's in this box in my 2014 Spring/Summer haul reveal that I will be posting next month at the latest! I'm just waiting for one more black box to arrive. :)
