D&G Dolce & Gabbana Palette Anchor Tank Dress

This dress would be SO perfect for Las Vegas: glittery, flashy, and an anchor (that last part doesn't really fit but whatever)! However, the bow would block the anchor and I can't have that (I can't walk around holding it up like this model). Oh, it's also $795!

R. Nichols SALE!

Check out the sale section at R. Nichols. They are having a $5.10 sale-8 pack of notecards for $5.10!

My favorites:



These would be perfect for Wearing Mascara ;)




They also have a boy version but everything is better in pink!

There are also some really cute Halloween and Christmas ones so stock up now and be done early!

For all my mini anchor lovers

Splendid hoodie (also comes in infant and toddler)


Anchor romper


Polo (comes in infant and toddler too)

Photo tagged!

I was tagged by Preppy Pettit (almost a month ago-sorry!) to:
1. Go to the fourth folder where you keep your pictures on your computer.
2. Post the 4th picture.
3. Explain the photo.



Me shopping. Definitely a major part of my life so very appropriate ;) I can tell this was taken toward the end of my time in Australia because my hair is super long! I have no clue who took this photo (I guess one of my friends). It is at Big W (Australian Walmart). My favorite pink and brown vest is in the cart.

Gossip Girl

Thanks to Worthy Style I found these amazing Gossip Girl promo videos. They are so funny and the perfect way to start the weekend! Thank you Worthington for sharing these :)

Charlotte Russe

One of the best parts of blogging? Getting personal shoppers for free! Thanks to Erin , I came across these nautical finds.

Shirt:


Necklace(total steal for $6!):


AND best of all? A t-shirt that says "Nautical By Nature" (apparently not sold online)


Thank you Erin!

A couple of you have also told me that there is an anchor necklace in Confessions of a Shopaholic. I can't wait to see it!

Raining

I don't usually post from school but I had to share this. So I am walking in the rain with my pink umbrella I got from the pink swap. This girl approaches me and says "Oh my God-I love that you monogrammed your umbrella." I look at her confused. What is she talking about?? Well I take a closer look at my umbrella and IT IS IN FACT MONOGRAMMED! I figured my partner had just sent a cute pink umbrella (and didn't open it up until I was outside) but she had it monogrammmed too! Thank you Pink, Green, and Southern! You are the best!

(I will post a photo when I get home tonight)

Let's go shopping!

Elephant teapot from World Market:


Nautical flip flops from Target (these would match my shorts from J.Crew perfectly!):


Pink and green initial tote at Marshalls:


More initial bags from Marshalls:

Valentine's isn't over yet

This past weekend I was talking to my friend C about our favorite TV couples. Is it a coincidence that all my friends are Pacey and Ben (as opposed to Dawson and Noel) fans?? I thought it would be fun to post our favorite (and least favorite) TV couples.

Dawson or Pacey? (Dawson's Creek)
Ben or Noel? (Felicity)
Is Kate destined to be with Sawyer or Jack? (Lost)
Brooke or Peyton? (One Tree Hill)
Did Kelly steal Dylan from Brenda? (90210)
Did you actually like Rachel and Joey together? (Friends)
And of course: Aidan or Mr. Big? (Sex and the City).
ETA: What about Gossip Girl? So many couple combinations!


Comment away with your favorites (feel free to include couples I didn't post too)!

It's a date! (Valentine's Day recap)

During elementary and high school I had a Valentine's party almost every year. My mom and I would go to Pic n Save (now Big Lots) right after Christmas and stock up on fun Vday party favors and decorating supplies. Then after school during Vday week I would have my best friends come over for a Valentine's decorating party. So it was appropriate that I would spend this Valentine's Day with M, who attended those parties in the past.

My sister (and roommate) is in Vegas for the weekend and M's roommate K is in Florida (hope you had a good trip!) so M and I decided to have a sleepover. We went to see He's Just Not That Into You. Then we came back to my apartment and made my FAVORITE Barefoot Contessa pasta. It is even pink!

After dinner M made these delicious molten chocolate cakes for us.






Had to use the heart oven mitts of course!


Right out of the oven:


PBKids plates we used:


And Target placemats:


Finished Product (thanks M!)


We watched the Wedding Planner, gossiped about our high school (Sailor Spirit Squad??), and watched reruns of Friends and Sex and the City.

Valentine's Part 2

And then we have the whole Target collection including:

Valentine's at Casa Nautical (part 1)

There is a LOT of pink (see this post) and red at my apartment year round but we do have some special things that only come out for Valentine's Day (well, more like the whole month of February!)












(that's a closeup of my pink heart blanket)

Pink swap!

Thank you Pink, Green, and Southern! I love the glittery pink basket that everything came in :)

See the pink and white polka dot towel? Well my partner got that monogrammed with my name AND a green anchor!



To see what I sent her, go here!
