I may have been super sick on Black Friday and couldn't go out, but I did take advantage of the online deals on Black Friday. Bauble Bar hooked it up with their best buried bauble IMO. They had the initial necklaces (above) for a whole $10! Sadly though, as I type this, I found it's not for sale

I've had such a crush on Nicole Richie's style since the first time i saw her in person back in 2005. I've always admired her bohemian style.

I'm quite amazed with myself for only purchasing 1 pair of shoes on Cyber Monday from ShoeMint. Especially since they had 30% off on Monday! I decided to go with the beautiful wine color to spice up my fall wardrobe. I think they are going to be a beautiful addition. Oh and I almost forgot, ShoeMint is

I am having a hair crisis. I like my long hair, but its starting to get to me. How come when I wake up it can't look like any of the ladies above? I mean, why can't i just wake up with the "i-just-woke-up-to-these-strategically-placed-soft-waves" hair? When I wake up it looks more like i slept doing a headstand.
