New Wallet

Hey everyone!


Today I thought I'd share some neat purchases I made from Aldo! 


I've been in Aldo a few times before, but I had never bought anything from them. A while back however, I saw this wallet and fell in love! I didn't purchase it when I saw it, because I was with some friends at the time, and we were just quickly browsing the shop. I was also hesitant because I had never paid that much for a wallet before. But I just couldn't stop thinking about it! I found the wallet online that night but still didn't buy it. A couple week later, though, I decided to take the plunge. And boy am I glad I did! I am absolutely smitten!


Yellow is my favorite color so of COURSE I love this wallet. I've also never had a large checkbook-size wallet before, so that was also a nice change.

Here's the inside. Look at all those pockets and card slots! And in case you're wondering, there are eight card slots, one ID slot, two pockets that could be used for money/coupons, and a nice zippered change pocket in the middle. 

Not only do I love this wallet for its awesome color and the nice new size, but I love it because I can also use it as a sort of mini clutch. The zippered pouch could really hold anything, and the empty space could be used to hold a few essentials like a lip balm or cell phone. Great for when I don't want to bring my entire purse somewhere!

Now, I made this purchase online, and I didn't really want to pay for shipping, so I thought it best to look around the site for stuff I like that would make my total add up to $50. I found a purse I liked on clearance, and a ! The purse was cancelled after I made my order because Aldo discovered that they didn't actually have any in stock anymore. But they notified me very quickly, refunded me the amount of the purse, and never charged me for shipping! 

Here's the necklace, though. Isn't it awesome? I thought it was pretty alright on line, but I kind of assumed I was just going to end up returning it or something- especially since I'm a bit picky when it comes to accessories. But I ended up loving it, so I'm keeping it! Sorry for the mediocre shot- the sun had set and I don't have the greatest lighting...

But here it is close up! Isn't the design fabulous?

My first purchase from Aldo was definitely a success! I highly suggest you check out their website {http://www.aldoshoes.com/} yourself! Make sure to take a peek at their sale and clearance sections, too, because they have some mighty fine deals! 

Happy shopping!

Mini Body Shop Haul!

Hey everyone!

I am sorry I have been so terrible at posting! The semester is over now though, so I should have a lot more time to post. =) 

A couple of weeks ago, The Body Shop was having an awesome sale! Many things were buy one get one half off, and so on. PLUS, I had a Groupon! $10 for $20 worth of products! I was one happy camper shopper.  

The Body Shop is one of my absolute favorite places to buy bath and body products, but they can be a bit pricey, so imagine how excited I was! After a bit of deliberation I finally settled on what become my mini haul {literally!}.

Starting from the back left and going clockwise, here are the products I purchased: Pink Grapefruit Shower Gel, Sweet Lemon Shower Gel, Strawberry Body Butter, and Satsuma Body Butter. Can you tell I have a thing for citrus and strawberry? Honestly, they all smell DELICIOUS. I could probably eat these products if I didn't already know that's a bad thing to do. But seriously, it's tempting! They just smell REALLY good- trust me. 

The shower gels are great! They aren't drying, they rinse off nicely, and they lather up like a dream. The body butters are equally awesome, if not slightly better! They're rich without being heavy on the skin, which is really nice, and they don't leave you feeling all gross and oily either. It absorbs quickly and truly smooths and soothes your skin. And of course, both the shower gels and the body butters leave you smelling super yummy all day. =D

I got the mini versions of the products, simply because I hadn't been to The Body Shop for quite some time, and I wanted to make my Groupon stretch. So I figured why not buy the mini versions? That way I could sample a couple different products in a few different scents. I am VERY happy with my choice, and I cannot wait to go back to The Body Shop to get more goodies!

I highly recommend these products, and if you think the shower gels aren't really worth splurging on, just go into a store and smell them- you might change your mind! And even if you don't, I would definitely recommend trying a body butter at least. They're definitely the best body butter/lotion-type product I've ever tried! 

Also, The Body Shop is currently having a 50% off sale on a TON of their stuff- but it ends today, so hurry!

Hope everyone's summer is treating them well!
