Arm party? Party on your arm?

Can I get a special blogger award for blogging while on vacation? See, I wasn't going to but then I found out that today's post wasn't going to work for well...today. So I made another that I wasn't planning on doing until after I got home - but this one makes me so excited! I loveeeee nothing more than some stylist bracelets. (Alright, sue me, couldn't think of anything more exciting for an intro for a post about my fave go-to bracelets to add some pizzazz for my outfits.) True story I originally spelled 'Pizazz' 'pizza' when trying to spell it out. I hate pizza. Tired? Yes. Don't judge. 

Don't mind my uber hair blonde arms. Heyyyyy how ya dern'.

Alex and Ani bracelets are the shiz. Check out my post about the best friend and crown (#1&3) here. Affordable AND cute bracelets....buy some for ya friends. or ya self. I know a girl who has 10. And wears them constantly. Now, that's a bit much. I also hope she doesn't somehow find my blog post about Alex and Ani because she is cleaaaarly OBSESSED. Lowest priced bracelets start at $34! Get to it!

Now call me crazy because I don't have charms on my pandora (#2), but I love the simple chain look! Granted these are on the more expensive side, esp. if you get all dem charms! It does look pretty classy (with a C. You know it's fake classy when you say Klassy with a K...right?)...like something my mom would wear. Which is strange that I would like that, but my moms a pretty trendy lady. Gotta Admit. 

99.99% of you haven't heard of Joyce Leslie (#4), I'm guessing! It's a cheapo-ghetto store (like wet seal, but better). I enjoy browsing around the store and getting greeted by the random asian man at the front of the store. Except I do hate when I feel awkwardly guilty like I'm going to do something bad and he walks around the store to check on me. HE DOESN'T EVEN GO SHOP HERE! But for a cute lil' crop top/colorful shorts/last minute shopping for a part-ay -- this store is a-okay. Anywho, as I was checking out I found some big 'pearl' earrings. spot on! because that is just what I was looking for. As I was completing my slow maze around the jewelry area, I discovered this cute yet weapon looking bracelet. It was $7.99 which can be considered cheap for the way it looks (not falling apart or anything) yet I'm broke and $7.99 is a loooooot for a bracelet that can potentially stab someones eye out. Don't worry I'll keep it away from everyones faces. Not sure why it would be in your face, though. 
I'm not funny, I swear, I just like to ramble about complete nonsense. 

Are there any bracelets that you love to sport?!

Marley Lilly & "Blacations"



OOTD / Bracelet from B for our one year :)

---------------------------------------------
Soooooo getting paychecks is great right? Yea. Weeeeellll only when you can splurge a bit aka what I'm doing with my paycheck this time. oops. 

Besides ordering expensive pictures from the phillies game because I'm annoying, and trying to remind myself I am infact on a budget, why not check out some Marley Lilly?

1. Pullover Rain Jacket. Alright I really have zero of a purpose to get one of these gems. I just think there uber cute and I would like such a sorority girl/jap rocking these with some hunter rain boots. #Notsorry. Also what I totally just hashtagged on here. Turning into weird social media guy from the Bachelorette. $44.99

2. Car Decal. BUT WHO DOESN'T JUST LOVE MONOGRAMS? Yea. Exactly. So preppy. $14.99

3.Baseball Hat. After reading Robin's post on her Marley Lilly hat....I need one. Side note: I also need Robin to come back into the blogging world because I miss keeping up to date on her daily life but hey everyone needs a blacation. (yes, just made that up AKA blog vacation) $24.99

4. Boat Tote. Totally will admit I would have judge these bags as mom bags when I was a youngin' because my mom had one of these and made me lug them to camp at the wee little age of five. She also used to dress me in Lilly and I would die from the embarrassment. People change, huh?! $29.99

5. iPhone Button Decal. Probably one of the biggest wastes of money but who doesn't ever want to pimp out their phone???? If I had money to blow, I'd spend it on this. $13.99

What pointless yet amazingly awesome things do you keep buying just because you don't want to part ways? (no matter how dumb) 


**Starting to design blogs too! Cheapest package is ONLY $12
I love blogging so no blacation for me. But a real vacation would be nice!

We did it!

Happy one year to me & B!
...of course he forgets to hide the food behind his back....

But boy am I obsessed with this new pic of us! So obsessed that I decided to revamp my blog since I'm really enjoying the color red recently. 

*****

Have you heard of Alex and Ani jewelry? Their bracelets are so cute AND very inexpensive. I cannot stress that enough. I know people that have so so many and get addicted to buying them. The charms on the bracelet (depending on what type of bracelet you get) usually represents something (i.e power, loyalty, etc). They also have ANYTHING you could possibly be looking for....your initial, favorite sports team, birth stones, astrology signs, and even sororities! My roomie this past year bought them as if they were going out of style. The women who owns/creates this line was an Alpha Xi Delta (and so is my roomie, thus her chapter hosted fundraisers with them). She eventually took me to Princeton, where they have a store, and I saw the price and said Hey why not! We got the best friends one since she still angry about me transferring.


Blaming my roomie for my newfound addiction, I spotted the crown one (Being that I love pageants way too much). I knew I had to have it so I suggested to B that he should buy it for me since
1. He couldn't go wrong with buying me something he knows I'd like 2. Its inexpensive 3. If a student, you get a college discount. 4. Every month they have a select bracelet that is five dollars off (May just so happened to have the crown) Hello, perfect! Can't wait for you to be mine!
