New Skirt Love.

Bought a new skirt (and gold belt) with my 30% clearance items coupon from JCrew.com and it just got here today. I loooooove my new tortoise shell watercolor silk/wool pencil skirt with it's beautiful pleated front. I wish I had a reason to wear it all the time. I can't wait to have an office job so I can. I also picked up a denim pencil skirt and crisp white button down (since I didn't have one).

My new Rosetung Cowl

Today is the last day of the winter break sale at Rosetung's beautiful shop. I bought this gorgeous virgin wool cowl in pebble and I am in love. It is the warmest, most gorgeous cowl I've ever seen. I wear it around the house when I want to feel cozy and in the middle of this miserable Ohio winter it has kept my neck toasty warm when I run to the post office.

Additionally, she is so sweet and helpful. Help her clear out her stash before she has to travel back to school and buy one of her beautiful cowls! Check out her etsy store for all the amazing deals.

Tres Fabu Bridal of Portland Closing.

For those of Portland brides in search of a dress, Tres Fabu will be closing (their last day being TOMORROW) and all their sample dresses are 50% off! Including Pronovias, Watters and Maggie Sotteros. You may find an amazing deal if you go today or tomorrow.

For those of us (including myself) who had a dress there, make sure you pick it up by tomorrow! I'm really glad I didn't end up getting our suits from them now.

It really is a shame though. I hate to see places like this go out of business due to the economy. They were so wonderful to me there and I wish all the wonderful ladies who worked there the very best. I found my dream dress with them and I can't thank them enough for their assistance. Especially Destiny, she was such a wonderful girl and was so helpful.

In other news, all deposits have been officially paid! Woot! And back to my paper I go. Have a great weekend!

Check out her shops for not only her beautiful garters, but some adorable purselets, mushrooms and other embroidered goodies that could make lovely gifts to bridesmaids or mothers. Thank's to Georgia for her kind offer! I will hopefully be taking you up on it!

Two New Sale Alerts

Whenever I see a good sale I try my best to get it up ASAP so no one misses out on it before it's gone. Here are two that were emailed to me this morning.

This first one is a beautiful silk Diane von Furstenberg dress from shopbop.com. Originally $325 and now only $162.50! The aqua and red scheme is so hot right now too. Any bridesmaid would be lucky to have an excuse to but this dress.

This next one is from Nordstrom. This BCBGMAXAZRIA cable cardigan in ivory looks so soft and cozy. Over the right dress at the right fall or early winder wedding it would be the perfect cover-up. Was $178 and is now $88.90. Mmm... wool too.
