All who know me know that I have a slight obsession with all things home decor. One thing I enjoy quite a bit is changing out my bathroom decor each season. Yes, you read it right, I do it seasonably. After all, I couldn’t very well have a white eyelet shower curtain hanging up in the middle of January.
I thought I’d give you all a glimpse of the theme for Fall. I opted for chocolate and rust…do those colors not screen autumn? Excuse the wobbliness of the video. I didn’t initially plan to post it on my blog. but I figured, why not. Be sure to leave a comment letting me know what you think of the theme.
Sidebar: I didn’t realize how Southern I sounded until I watched this video. But hey, everybody loves a Southern girl.
One of the reasons I have that whole jewelry organization problem is because I can’t seem to stop purchasing things. I honestly can’t get enough of necklaces, bracelets and rings. You won’t see me post earrings often because I’m pretty plain Jane in that department – I’ve worn diamond studs for nearly 10 years. Occasionally, I’ll wear something different when going out, but my studs are pretty much my staple.
I only recently – say three weeks ago – discovered JC Penney. I honestly have never even considered shopping there, so imagine my surprise when I found a few great items. I later had a conversation with the BFF to realize that I’d indeed been “sleeping on” JCP because she already knew that they carried some great finds. I was prompted to go after visiting someone’s fashion blog (I should have bookmarked the blog because I loved it) who featured a piece they’d purchased. I picked up three pieces over the weekend that were all pretty well priced.

I’ve recently taken a liking to discount retailers like TJ Maxx and Ross. I’ve found a few bags as of late for TJ Maxx and Ross is great for home/kitchen items. I purchased the Marc Ecko Charisma Rounded Hobo Friday evening. I actually entered the store with one thing in mind and came out with the bag instead…that seems to happen to me alot for whatever reason. As I didn’t know the style name, I Goodle’d Maro Ekco and to my surprise, I found the exact bag on Macy’s site – for $79.00. Learning that I saved $40 makes me happy!
The bag features a removable shoulder strap (I kept the strap on as I figured it added another element of interest) =, whipstitch and stud detailing; double E tag and two organization pockets. The color is actually closer to a tomato red than what the pictures illustrate.
I went to an artist showcase and I initially planned to go for an eclectic, funky fresh vibe. I found out it was another one of those “grown and sexy” events, so I ended up changing my wardrobe completely. Sidebar: Can we please be more creative and use terms other than grown and sexy? It’s so 2000 and late.
I went for an all black everything look and opted for all black and gold jewelry. I already had a few of these gems, but I picked up the watch, right hand ring and cuff bracelet from one of my favorite places…Target no less. I ended up taking the watch back the next day because the clasp never worked (I had to rig it for that night) and besides, I really want a nice, more expensive version. Be sure to comment and let me know what you think.
Merona Gold Watch $14.99 / Target Goldtoned Right Hand Ring $16.99 / Target
Black and Gold Cuff Bracelet $16.99 / Target Rachel Roy + Estelle Statement Ring was previously posted. I am SO glad I pre-ordred this ring as it’s no longer available and everyone LOVED it when I wore it Friday night.
Since I found the Steve Madden bag in my neighborhood TJ Maxx a few weeks ago, I’ve made it a point to visit once a week to see what I can find.I snagged this black and white clutch last week because I figured it would be great for a night out. It was also available in black and gold, but I thought this one popped a little more. Priced at $14.99, even if I only carry it once, I will get my money’s worth. Have you made any purchases lately that you’d like to share? Give us a Peep Show!
