Seychelles 'Our Heroine' Bootie

I got these light-ish brown booties about 2 years ago from Urban Outfitters. They are Seychelles and cost me about $70 (on sale too). I normally don't pay $70 for anything and don't even know why I got the shoes at that price, but I did. I always like to think that shoes wise, this was the best $70 that I ever spent...as in these booties are ridiculously comfortable and stylish (In my opinion + I've gotten a lot of compliments on 'em). Plus, I'm a big fan of walking tall and these booties add an extra 4 inches to my height while giving me the added benefit of real comfort. They are so comfy that I wear them to traipse around places like NYC (where folks walk everywhere), and generally rock them as an 'every day Jesus' kinda steez. In fact, to show how comfy these booties are, I once wore them while I stood for 7 straight hours helping my friend sell Suya during the Independence day parade festivities in NY. From the way I'm gushing about these booties, I'm sure y'all can tell that I really luuurve them. Aniwoos to cut a potentially long story short, sometimes I find myself wishing that I'll find the black version of these for a completely more versatile look. I mean, the light brown is pretty versatile but the black would be even more versatile...and today, my wish was granted. I happened to be doing the usual window shopping at DSW.com, and saw my babies in black. I was so excited! Granted they cost the same yeye $70 but I was very happy to close eye and pay the $70 for 'em. Definitely can't wait to get 'em in the mail....I can definitely go to bed happy now, heehee... :-)

On my UO wishlist

As usual, I've been drooling over some items from my favorite store....

1. Well, these shoes technically aren't on my wishlist anymore since I just ordered 'em. Love the wedge + peeptoe thing that it has going on.

2. I want this jacket in my life. I love the puffed sleeves...tres cute! At $150, I can only wish...

3. Now y'all know I love me some stripes. I really like this oversized sweatshirt. I could do it with shorts, tights and those red peeptoe wedges :-D
4. Ahhh these delicious looking fuschia heels shall be mine very soon, just you wait and see!
5. Last but not least, these boots are gawj. I'm just trying to figure out if a size 10 will fit moi...maybe I'll go and try 'em on in the store. Like I really want me some boots like these for every day waka about.

That's all folks! Till the next round of wishing and/or purchases....

Recent Purchases from Urban Outfitters

All from one of my favorite stores...the great Urban Outfitters. I swear, as much stuff that I buy from them, I should own some kind of stock in the company. Mchewww

These purchases range from today, to the last couple of months. Just felt like sharing...

1. Just purchased these online, today. They are on sale. I don't own a nice pair of pants...all the pants I own either fall into the Jeans category, or things of the leggings-ish kind. So I'm really keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that these fit. That's the thing about ordering stuff online...

2. I'm a sucker for interesting looking accessories. I liked this ring, and it's also on sale. *Note:- I never buy anything full price at UO. Okay, almost never.


3. Basic black caddy...I really need one, and like the others this was also on sale.

4. Mustard yellow and 'red' heels. I got these at full price, which is very rare. I relented and bought this and the 'red' (which is really a coral-ish, orange-ish) color. They cost $48 each, which ain't bad and abeg they had the very elusive size 11 so I had to snatch 'em up real quick. These were definitely a great buy! They are very comfortable and can be quite versatile...

For all the people who liked my Twit avatar and asked where I got the shoes from, now you have it.

5. Black lace top. It was part of the $5 sale and it's tres cute!

6. Remember this Cami which I drooled over in a previous post? I happened to walk into the store and saw it on the $20 rack, so I quickly snatched it up. Yaay, finally got my cami :-)

That's all folks.

Urban Outfitters - The great big $5 sale

I love browsing the UO website... You just never know what could have been marked down. Sooo I was browsing today, and stumbled across this undercover $5 sale...as in blink and you missed it. So you know your girl quickly filled her cart. Here's what I got...

1. This lil striped dress - Gotta be my favorite pick of them all. I love stripes, and I can totally dress this up or down.
2. This Lucca Couture Chambray Jacket - I was definitely digging the way the back is cut...see 2nd picture. I have no idea how it will fit, and if all else fails...I will take it right back to the store.

3. Black Crochet knit romper - I'm looking forward to getting this. I think it'd be a versatile piece ie lounge around the spot or pair it with tights and a caddy in the fall...anything can happen with this one.

4. I've been looking for a black basic mini, I hope this will be the one. And if all goes well, I might just go for it's sister in Grey - see picture below.

5. Ecote Circle skirt - I will admit, I love me some polka dots and stripes. I like mixing prints, and could see myself mixing a lil somn' on the floral side with this really cute skirt. Looking forward to receiving it in the mail...
6. BDG Raglan tee - Hey, I said I loved stripes right? :)
All for $5 each, you can't beat that. And this was really on some 'blink and you missed it', because I just went to the website this evening, and the romper, striped dress and the striped tee were all gone.

Random things that caught me eye while web surfing

I know, I know...this blog has been seriously neglected. I can't pinpoint a specific reason but aniwoos, in the light of a comeback, here's some random cute stuff I've peeped on my 2 favorite online stores to window shop ---> UrbanOutfitters and Forever21.

1. This very darling cami (UO). At $38, I wouldn't buy it but if they knock it down a bit more, I'd consider it. I'm suffering from a case of too many dresses, and need some more tops/separates in my life.


2. I peeped this dress on Forever21.com. I think it's definitely cute...

3. I like this skirt from F21, It could serve as a nice basic with which to pair different things with.

4. Me loves this dress. UO never fails to disappoint with their dresses. I definitely added it to my wishlist :)
5. These teal shorts from F21 are tres cute. These can also serve as a nice basic...it's summer time, time to showcase them legs in a cute pair of shorts like these.
6. I'm kinda over the Romper craze but I could make an exception for these ones from F21. I love the prints...very cute and colorful.

What have you shopaholics been up to? Got any cool finds lately? Feel free to share.

Enjoy the rest of the week. :-)
