gotta love teen vogue ♥

I've been picking up teen vogue every month for the past four years, and never subscribed! I know i don't know why. They usually always give a free gift, but the previous bags were hideous.

So if you love teen vogue & this bag, now is the best time to subscribe.

From what I've heard it's pretty awesome and I'm def adding it to either my christmas or birthday list : )

dedication to audrey ♥

Tonight i went to the Classic Black Dinner at my school. I decided to take these after ♥

almost christmas tips ♥

So it's almost Christmas and you might be struggling with gift buying. Since were in a "recession" here's a few tips :

1. Try eBay : you can find new and used things you are looking for. Some eBay stores are having sales too. And if you are bidding, bid on an item that's start price is low and end time is soon, this way you may get luckier.

2. Shop now! Don't wait until the last minute to get the things you really wanted to surprise people with, you might get lucky and run into early Christmas sales, and there are a lot trust me.

3. Create a budget this way you won't feel too pressured and you might not go too crazy

4. Put others before yourself, it is the season of giving you know.

5. make a list of some of things you know you are trying to pick up, and stick to it.

6. Marshalls & TJ Maxx : designer things for less. And a lot of other nice things, even jewelry all for low prices

7. Layaway : put it on layaway now, pay the minimum price or 10% and then pay the rest later. this gives you time to get your funds together. Just don't forget to pick it up or change your mind, its non refundable.

fall in love with Tory Burch ♥

I suddenly want a pair of these Tory Burch Reva ballerina flats. Problem is they are $195 at Nordstrom, and well I'm not made of money, but my imagination swears I am. They are practical, simple, and classic, kind of reminds me of somebody i know ; )

and while I was viewing the flats, i saw these. I really love these too, and they're much cheaper $45, i might have to do it wants it gets warm

victoria's secret fashion show 2009 & Chanel Iman ♥

I've bee a huge fan of Victoria's Secret almost my whole life. I will never forget when i saw my first Fashion Show in 2000. I look forward to the show every year, it's the highlight of the holiday season.

Now this year was good, better than last year, but not the best. I would have to say my favorite part was seeing my favorite model Chanel Iman walk the runway which has been a dream of hers for some time now. I love Chanel Iman and have since i was 15. I have every Teen Vogue she has been featured in, especially the one when they did a full article on just her! She's beautiful and she's got a big future ahead of her ♥

my most recent set ♥

black friday obsessions ♥

I am a very big fan of Longchamp Le Pliage bags. I have three of them:

my first was brown in this size

my second was hot pink in this size

and my third was a black one in the smaller size

I think their practical , classic and have a great price...especially if you can get it cheaper.

And that's what i did. Black Friday my boyfriend came over and ordered me this off ebay, I won't say for how much, thats my secret.

It's my early birthday gift from him, which i plan on not using until my birthday ♥

I also found a new pursuit of happiness

After we were done ordering my bag, we were looking for my boyfriend a white Casio G-Shock watch. During the search we found a hot pink one!

I love pink and although i don't wear watches it seems to be a new trend and I'm in love with this one.

The price is much more affordable than the &195 Juicy Couture watch, it goes for $89 at Macy's ♥

So I've wanted the Steve Madden boots that look just like these all fall, they are $130 so i thought i'd wait until after Christmas when i have extra money

But I just found these on Forever21's website for about $30

i guess you know where my heart is now ♥
