Fashion Island {Forever 21}

If you have not yet been to the newly opened F21 you must head there soon! The space is enormous & all the racks are organized making it easy to find the trendy affordable items. I did not have time to snap any photos {I was late to dinner due to losing track of time shopping my heart out}! The image above is the architectural rendering prior to the store being revamped. I spotted a few items I wanted but did not have to try on... I am heading back soon. Stop by if you ever find yourself in Newport Beach.

Stocking Stuffer {felted soap}

I sure hope Santa brings me on of these! Fiat Luxe uses natural locally sourced ingredients & the beautiful casing is wool; it is a two in one product! Soap and a natural wool wash cloth. Once the soap inside runs out you can cut a slit in the wool and insert a fresh new bar of soap. The scents are light & refreshing. Can't wait to try one out!

Much needed {sweaters}

I don't know about you but this chilly weather is way too cold for me! I can not warm up no many how many layers I am wearing. While doing my fair share of shopping over the weekend I stumbled upon many cozy sweaters at Zara. I found many more at the store that I loved {they do not have them online}.  I suggest heading to your local Zara!

Modest Fashion {holiday dress}

While hitting up the mall on BLACK FRIDAY I discovered some great Holiday Party dresses {modest dresses} at BCBG. To look festive & beautiful you do not need to dress like a vegas party girl {although my bff was shopping for vegas attire, which was not hard to find!}. I spotted modest dresses at BCBG, Bebe, H&M, and JCrew. I found the selections online to be different that what I saw in stores. Now I just need somewhere fancy to go...

That time of year {Christmas decorating}

I plan on doing this, this weekend {that is if I can get out of bed, my belly hurts big time from all the gluten yesterday}. I enjoy this time of year & decorating our home all festive. The ornaments & decor are all out in the family room waiting for me. And we might just get a tree today. Enjoy the long weekend.

Hidden Secret {Kohls}

I have been on the hunt for white cotton napkins, so I stopped by Kohls and to my surprise I stumbled upon some really fun home decor. I was shocked! Their prices are great {well on sale that is!} many areas of the store where having a promotion of 50-70% off. I found throw pillows {for our living room re-decorating project}, this deer head & a few other goodies. Check out your local Kohls.

frugal finds {nail polish}

I have been searching for a specific shade of grey nail polish for some time now. So I was thrilled when I stumbled upon matte grey while browsing Urban Outfitters. In store the nail polish was two for $8 { a great price}! But online they have a bigger selection than my local UO. If you are looking for some fun colors check it out.
