I'm Starting to Love Overstock.com!

I'll be on vacation to much much cooler climates starting the 1st week of April. So I've been desperately hunting coats not just for me but for my 3 year old chica as well. So I went to overstock.com per a recommendation from a co-worker to find what I need. I actually bought these a few weeks ago but I got my second order with them just now and I feel inspired to do a post about them and the bargains.














It's like Christmas all year round when I get my online orders. When I received the box, I was convinced they missed one of the coats. There was just no way both of them fit in this little box. With that said, all the items were impeccable packaged and included hangers. So what did I get?


















Giacca Women's Asymmetrical Short Wool Coat- $47.99  (in royal)



















Kenneth Cole Women's Satin Coat- $46.99 (in black)

I think one of the most valuable features of overstock.com is the consumer reviews.( the $2.95 s&h doesn't hurt either) . I read over each review very carefully not just for these coats but for all the ones that were available in my price range. And being the good shopping citizen I am, I left my review as well. These are my posting about each item that I posted to overstock.com, typos and all (oops, sue me, lol)
Re: the Kenneth Cole:  "I love this coat. It's so warm and comfy. It has that classic look which I expect from Kenneth cole. My only peeve would be the zipper. I had to reallt stuggle to get it unhook at the bottom of the zipper. Detachable faux fur hoodie is very chic not overbearing. I bought a medium which is my usual size. It's true to size so if you're thinking of layering, then get a size up."
Re: the Giacca: !st I just love the color. Everyone that sees me just comments on how great the blue color is. My only complaint would be the fit. It's not aas form fitting as I would like but it does lend some room to layering underneath. Definatley worth the price.

Finally. My Thigh High Boots!

I was on a mission to find the perfect pair of thigh high boots to take on my trip to Atlanta. I means seriously, I went everywhere! In person and online. I was apprehensive to buy them online in fear of getting ill fitting ones. So I went to Off Broadway Shoes at one of my local malls and there it was. These babies


















They are the Baby Phat Sarah. They retail at this particular location for $159.60. It was reduced to $69.90. It was in the clearance section so I got an additional 30% off. So grand total was $48.72. I was excited about this because I had budgeted to spend up to $100 if the shoe was right.






















I wore it with a black JLo peacoat, black leggings and a gray and black shirt from F21. I also wore it to a nightclub as well. Next time i'm in the "A", I be wearing these again in some other way.

Jennifer Aniston at the Premier of Bounty Hunter

My my my my my..WOW. I think Jenifer Aniston pulled this look off flawlessly. The draping on the dress fits her slender frame perfectly. The theme of this look was simple, simple hair, simple dress, simple make-up, and simple accessories. My only peeve on this is the length of this dress. I wish it was hemmed just a little bit, not too much, but I guess that's the look she was going for. What do you guys think about the dress?



































I found some short dress drape options that I love
















(l-r) Macys- $38, ASOS- $59.83, ASOS-30.77

Shopping For Your Life

I saw this video while browsing one of my daily reads. I just really can't believe the madness. Here's the description: They waited for hours on the opening of the new clothing store and then spilled inside, destroying everything. The protagonists of this video footage taken during the inauguration of the first H&M store in Toulouse, France, are all customers waiting to buy the limited edition collection of garments designed by Sonia Rychiel for the Swedish chain.

Now I love H&M as much as the next....






















But is it really that serious to endanger your life just to say you were 1st?

Back to Florida

I just returned from a fabulous girls trip to Atlanta, Ga. I had a great time there. Regular posting will resume shortly. Until then enjoy a few pics of the trip.

















The trip started a little rocky. Thankfully we all were just fine and we kept it moving.














Historic homes on quaint streets.
