SJP Moment

March 7, 2014

SJP Shoe CollectionI think we’ve all channeled a bit of Carrie Bradshaw at some point in our lives, whether it’s making your way in a big city or recounting dating misadventures with your closest girlfriends at brunch.  Even I’ve had a Carrie moment, twirling around the city in an over-the-top tulle skirt.

So when Sarah Jessica Parker dropped her debut shoe collection SJP, I immediately fell in love with the playful twist on classics.  I’m talking strappy sandals with feminine features and timeless pumps with reimagined details.  The shoes are still a bit of investment, but at least you’re not forgoing an entire month’s rent like Carrie.  Check out my favorite picks below and shop the line at Nordstrom!

Spring Splurges

March 4, 2014

Spring Shopping Splurges

one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine

It’s Mardi Gras, so why not splurge with a bit of spring shopping?  Sure, you could deck yourself in giant plastic beads, I find a little retail therapy to be a much more satisfying indulgence.  My poison of choice?  Pretty pieces with details that pack as much punch as a frozen hurricane.

Shopping Budget: February 2014

February 28, 2014

Skirt The Rules Shopping Budget February 2014

February is a wrap, which means I’m recapping another month of purchases.  Earlier this year, I set a monthly shopping budget of $350 with the goal of being more responsible with my money, more selective with my shopping and more creative with my wardrobe,

This month, I had my eyes on all things spring.  I’m talking textural knits and lighter jackets — pieces I know will get some major wear this season.  I also bought a pair of slim white pants, which I guarantee you will end up stained by the next shopping recap.  Finally, I scooped up a pair of leopard flats and a mini bow ring to round out the month with something a bit novel.

Coming in a bit under budget this month (and last month!), I might be setting my eyes on something a little more extravagant come March.  Stay tuned!
