Last Wednesday I was a very bad girl and ordered a new purse from ShopBop. I had a reason though, my Mulberry for Target bag has been falling apart and it is so disgusting now. The piping around the pleather part of the bag is slowly pulling off and the bag is just gross. So I decided I needed to splurge and get a good quality purse. I am obsessed with Marc Jacobs so I figured I should get (another) Marc Jacobs bag.
I was originally going to get the Marc Jacobs Lucy in Bright Purple but decided to get the Aiden instead because it was a bit cheaper and zipped to close rather than just having the turn-lock closure. I was going to wait a while and save up monthly for the purse but since it was on sale I just went for it. What do you think?! [I included a picture of it with my other Marc Jacobs purse I got at Christmas]
Also, this past weekend I went to Rhode Island intending on spending the weekend at the beach, sadly the weather had other ideas. So on Sunday when the weather was particularly gross my mom, sister and I went to Marshalls. I went through all the aisles and grabbed a ton of clothes just intending to try them on for fun. I ended up loving almost all of it. I had tried on a leopard Ralph Lauren top ($20), tan Ralph Lauren riding pants ($70), purple Ralph Lauren dress ($50), Marc Jacobs bathing suit coverup ($30) and a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting).
What I ended up purchasing was a Calvin Klein tan/gold glittery sweater for $15 and some AMAZING Michael Kors pants in navy that were similar to the Ralph Lauren pants, except that they were $40. The Ralph Lauren pants didn't have the zippers up top and they had a couple inch slit on the bottom of each leg, but they have the same general look. I was very torn on buying the pants because they were so expensive but I'm glad I did, they are so comfortable! I know I'll be living in them this Fall/Winter. Here are some piccys!

And for a bonus, here are some shots of what has happened to my Mulberry for Target bag after only 6 months of using it...let us hope that my Marc Jacobs does better...ha ha. Nasty, isn't it? EDIT: For clarification, I take good care of my purses, I used this every week day for work for 6 months and this is what happened, ha ha. I didn't put it into a shredder or anything...so yea, not good. I wonder if anyone else with these bags had this happen or it was just me.

Sorry for posting more fall looks, but these are so cool! I LOVE the styling, photography and outfits! I must have a thing for pants because, once again, my favorite is the blue-ish suit...PERFECTION! I also hate how perfect the models hair looks even though its going all wild...why can't everyone's hair be like that?

I have been so obsessed with this dress for MONTHS, especially since I saw it on Keira Knightley. Now The OUTNET has it on their site for 70% off, sadly it is still $1,039.50 so it is WAY out of my price range. But perhaps they will get the short version and it will be cheaper, not that that I have anywhere to wear it. They do have a skirt or top version though for about $288 each...but that is still a bit much *sigh*
What do you think? Would you want this dress in your closet if you had the money/occasion to wear it?
I always love Coco Rocha's photoshoots, she always has such a variety of poses and really gets into a character which makes them so much fun! I am in love love love with all of these looks, especially the one with the brown pants with the stripe down the side, I can see myself wearing that this fall! I know we are in the heat of summer and these are fall shots, but they were too gorgeous to not post.

Well this week I dressed a bit boring, I just threw on whatever I felt like wearing and left the house. I didn't even wear makeup, ha ha. But that's what happens when you are at the tail end of being sick. I felt better this week but I still had an annoying cough...GRR! My boss was off this week so I was nervous that something would go terribly wrong, luckily everything was okay except for a teeny problem we had yesterday, but it wasn't our fault...stupid Twitter.
And now I am off to Rhode Island for the weekend so I won't be posting tomorrow! My whole family is going for the week but since I used up all my vacation days already I have to go back to work on Monday...ICK!
As usual click all the photos to see them full size.
And here is a look from last week.
Skirt: Ruche (gift card), Tank: American Eagle $0, Sweater: Urban Behavior, hand me down, Sandals: c/o Sseko Designs
AND here's a lovely outfit from when we were waiting outside Regis and Kelly to see Tom Felton last week...oh my...she has crazy socks, pj pants, a weird top....basically everything in her closet.

This is the last of the vacation photos. *sad face* Anyway, on Monday July 11th the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II New York City premiere was held and, once again, I was in the press section! There weren't as many stars at this premiere and they were also pretty rushed so we didn't get to see everyone. All of my NYC premiere photos may be seen here at Magical-Menagerie!
Before I get to these photos I figure I should talk about about my love for Potter and the movies. You guys all know that I am a HUGE fan, I've been a fan since 1998 when the first book was released in the US so this really was the end of my childhood. I saw the movie on July 7th in London before the premiere and cried for at least 3/4 of it for tons of reasons (seeing a loved character, a sad part, general happiness and anything else you can think of...). It was all that I hoped it would be and I'm pretty sure its my favorite of the films so far, but I need to see it a few more times to be sure. ;) I am so thankful to JK Rowling for all she has done, Harry Potter helped me to find so many lifelong friends, helped me figure out that I wanted to be a graphic/web designer AND it helps me to escape when I am depressed or in need of cheering up. I can always count on Harry Potter being there, its like going back home when I read the books. *sigh* [/END LONG SAPPY PARAGRAPH]
At this premiere Matt's publicist was looking for me and when he found me he pointed me out to Matt's handler so she would know where to send him. He came right over to me and I think he was going in for another hug but I stupidly gave him the birthday present I brought My section of the press was one of the only ones he stopped at (he also stopped at MTV, E! and a few other big places ;) ) So yeaaa....that was the highlight of the premiere again.
Next up is the lovely Tom Felton who is the opposite of his character. We had a lovely chat with Tom and then I noticed he had some red on his wrist so I pointed it out, then it took us a bit for me to show him where it was, he decided it was blood and that lead to my face in one of the below photos. I find it very amusing, ha ha.
And lastly we have Rupert Grint, David Yates and Daniel Radcliffe!
And here are the video interviews, only 1 video this time.
