Birthday Purchases

 As most of you know my birthday was on the 5th.  I got to go on a shopping spree!  I wanted to share with you some of my purchases:

(Forever 21)

  I've always loved the letterman cardigans, and my last name starts with an F,
so I thought this was kind of perfect!

Neon V-Neck Slub Top
 (Forever 21)

 I got this tee in the neon pink shade above.  It's even more neon in person!
I also got it in a size larger than normal because I've really been loving the baggier look.

 (Forever 21)
I'm not quite sure if this is excatly the same top I purcahsed, but it basically looks the same.  Mine is just a different shade, it's a very light pale pastel purple, maybe Lilac.  I like this top because it's got that loose fit, dolman style.  Paired with skinny pants, I really love the simple, easy look.  

I'm disappointed I can't find the other two fabulous cardigans that I also purchased from Forever 21.  I searched on their website, but couldn't find them, probably because they were on clearance.  I'll have to show you outfit pictures with them soon!  One is a slouchy cream cardigan with large black hearts all over, super cute!  Another is a more fitted black cardigan with white bows all over.  Both are really cute, and were very affordable since the weather is warming up! 

I had a gift card to Wet Seal, that I used as well.  I haven't actually shopped in there before, so it was fun to check it out!  Wet Seal's website doesn't let you save the pictures, it only does that zoom in view thing, so here are links to the items I purchased:



Non-clothing Purchases:

The Mortal Instruments Series Book 4:
City of Fallen Angels

I love this book series, my husband, although he hasn't read any of the series, was the one to hear about, and he thought it sounded like something I would like, so one of the things he had got me for Christmas were the first 3 books in the series, and thankfully the 4th one came out right in time for my birthday!  I definitely got drawn into the world Cassandra Clare has created!

The Cosby Show:
Seasons 3 & 4


I am a huge fan of The Cosby Show, almost nothing makes me laugh as much as The Huxtable family!  Since I have seasons 1 & 2, I knew I needed to own the rest of them, so I started with the next two in line.  I could watch The Cosby show over and over again!  It was one of my favorite shows growing up, and in fact I love it now even more! 
Well, I think that's the majority of the things I purchased with birthday money.  It was definitely a fun day of shopping!   I might have to do another post for some of the items that were given to me.  I was very blessed this year!  And I appreciate all my loved ones who were so good to me this birthday.

I hope you girls are having a good week so far, sorry I haven't been posting as much.  That will be improving starting today.  Things at work are still about the same, so most of my attention has been to that.  It's been sad not reading most of your blogs the last couple of weeks, and it's definitely not because I don't want to! So I will be stopping by all your amazing blogs here shortly! :)

Have a wonderful afternoon!

Birthday Recap!!



Alright, so this is my priced procession!! My very own Chanel purse! Compliments of my husband!! He completely surprised me, and he picked it out all on his own! I think that is very impressive!! I haven't been taking it out everyday or everywhere I go, first off it's been raining a lot here lately, and I'm not taking any chances with ruining the leather! Second, where I work, I'm afraid it would get dirty, there is no really good spot to set it. So, as of right now, it goes out on beautiful days, and when I'm not at work! lol
Outfit:
Red sweater: Forever 21
Red headband: can't remember
new pearl and bow bracelet: Forever 21
jeans:Deb
Above is a new outfit I got with my birthday money! I wore it to church on Easter! Please excuse my shower being in the picture, it's the only way I could show the whole outfit! haha
White t-shirt: Forever 21
Flowered skirt: Target
Black leggings: Forever 21
(I have never owned a pair of leggings before!!)
Rose necklace: Forever 21
Black heels aren't new, but they are candies from Kohl's
Below is another outfit:
White t-shirt: Forever 21
Jeans: Deb
New anchor necklace: Forever 21


My mom's boyfriend actually made me this cake for my birthday!! I told him I wanted a Chanel cake!! I loved it! It had a raspberry and bavarian cream filling in a vanilla type cake. Also he adds rum to his cake sometimes to make it moist, so there was raspberry rum added to it. The cake just soaks it up pretty much. Anyway, it was delicious!


Last but not least, are pictures of my new flats!! I've never owned flats before, so it's a pretty big deal to me! lol I'm short so it was hard for me to embrace flats, but I'm glad I can around!! The giraffe ones on the left are a gift from my mom, and the zebra striped ones on the right, are a gift from my best friend Kim.

Both shoes from Payless!!
