The SJP Collection for Nordstrom

From the earliest Sex and the City days, we all remember Carrie Bradshaw and her innate love for Manolo Blahniks. I mean, can you blame her? Carrie's treasured strappy sandals are just as much a necessity today as they were years ago! It was no surprise when Sarah Jessica Parker herself announced she'd be teaming up with Manolo Blahnik CEO, George Malkemus III, for her brand new shoe line, The SJP Collection, to be sold exclusively at Nordstrom.

The line is made up of 25 different shoes, including wedges, booties, flats, and of course, the stiletto heel, that we all know and love, along with a few handbags and coats. Each shoe in the collection has a name, and when asked how they were chosen, SJP said "A lot of the names come from women I’ve admired. Some are women I’ve never met, some are friends. Names I never got to name my children."

Since the line's launch in late February, The SJP Collection has been popping up in Nordstrom stores across the country. Sarah Jessica has even popped up in a few stores herself, meeting fans and signing her infamous shoes. You can have a pair of your own, as long as you don't mind spending between $195-$500 for a set of these beauties. For truly devoted fans, the hefty price tag won't stand in the way of walking in the shoes of Sarah Jessica Parker.

Though you can view the full line here, below are a few of my favorites from The SJP Collection:

SJP "Maud" Sandal = $375.00

SJP "Bobbie" Sandal in Mint = $365.00

SJP "Fawn" Pump = $350.00

SJP "Bobbie" Sandal in Coral = $365.00

My Favorite Link-Up: Five on Friday!

Thank goodness, it's finally the weekend! In honor of my favorite day of the week, I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures for 5 on Friday! I hope you enjoy reading about my five favorite things from this week!

Make sure to link up with these four lovely ladies and let us know yours!

1. New Wedges from Target! 

When I needed a pair of shoes to match a new outfit I bought, I headed straight to Target. Of course, they had exactly what I wanted! I couldn't resist their beautiful shoes at a great price, and ended up leaving with not one, but TWO new pair of wedges! Can a girl really ever have enough wedges?!

2. My Ava Torties arrived!

I have been admiring these Anthropologie sunnies through the blogosphere for weeks, and I finally got my hands on a pair! There was something about the shape and the gorgeous tortoise shell on these glasses, I knew I had to have them! They came earlier this week, and I've been wearing them every chance I get!

3. A trip to NYC!

Everyone should know by now that I'm obsessed with New York City! I've been hoping to go sometime this year and stay in The Appalachian Loft, and on Monday, our trip was confirmed! My friends Alex and Danielle and I will be leaving for NYC on November 21st! I'm already brainstorming outfits, hairstyles, the works!

4. Cooking Lessons

I'll admit it, I didn't prepare the dish shown above, but hopefully I'll be able to fairly soon! My new co-worker, Frances is a great cook, and is slowly trying to teach me easy recipes that I can cook at my apartment! This has been a big change for someone that uses their oven for storage in true Carrie Bradshaw fashion, but I'm so excited to learn some new things!

5. A New-To-Me Dress!

I had one of my Vineyard Vines dresses reconstructed for the Fourth of July, and absolutely loved the result! I can't wait to share the before and after pictures with you!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Target Shoe Love!

Among just about anything else in the shopping universe, we all know that Target is the perfect place to find cute shoes! Especially ones that you don't want to spent an arm and a leg (or a foot) on!

The Target closest to my house started putting out their summery wedges around the end of January, along with the first shipment of bathing suits for 2013, and though it was difficult to see myself buying them when Boone's still getting a couple inches of snow a week, it doesn't mean I didn't want to!

Here are a few of my favorite pairs for this Spring!

Mossimo Lindsay Jo Wedge Sandal: $29.99

via

Mossimo Patricia Fabric-Covered Wedge Sandal in Cognac: $29.99

I love that these are two-toned, so you can wear them with brown or black!

via

Merona Emilia Tall Wedge Espadrille in Khaki: $29.99

via

Mossimo Waylon Harachi Cork Wedge Sandal in Black: $29.99

via

...and just because I'm a little behind the bandwagon, and don't own any yet, I'd love a pair of classic nude flats. Of course, Target has them!

Mossimo Ona Patent Scrunch Ballet Flat in Blush: $14.99

Find yourself loving these cute shoes too?

You can get free shipping when you spend $50 at Target.com, or if you have a Target Red Card like my Mom and me, you'll get free shipping and 5% off on every purchase! 

Happy Shopping!

As always, Have a Sweet Day!

Thank You, New Year Cheer Sale!

Thanks to Lilly Pulitzer's "New Year Cheer Sale" (and some help from my Mama,) my wait for a pair of gold metallic Resort Chic Wedges is finally over!

via 

I've been lusting over these wedges for over a year, and I was tickled pink seeing them on the New Year Cheer Sale for more than half the original price!

via

Yes, you read that right. The original price of this pair was $228.00, hence the reason I've been waiting more than a year to get them. Every time I bought a Lilly dress, I wanted them, but they just weren't in the budget.

Yesterday morning, when I saw their sale price of $74.00, I knew I had to have them! I texted my Mom, who worked a little of her magic, and as of this morning, they're mine!

Once a Lilly girl, always a Lilly girl!

Did you score any great deals at the sale?

As always, Have a Sweet Day!

Crazy Over Tortoise Shell!

I realize that everyone else has Halloween on the brain tonight, but I celebrated with a costume, face paint, you know...the works, on Saturday night and I'm ready to get back to my online shopping obsession! Whether I need it, or not, I'm always scanning websites, blogs, & Pinterest of course, for something to catch my eye.

So...with that said: TORTOISE SHELL!

I'll admit it, I'm in love!

Anywhere on anything! I remember seeing it a lot last year at this time, and I'm so glad it's stuck around through another Christmas season! This year, I'll be sure to have some of these on my list for Santa!

Let me know what you think! 

Split Plate Ring

Tory Burch $75.00

Tory Burch

 Matching Earrings $95.00

Tory Burch

Logo Wide Resin Cuff

$175.00

Michael Kors

Oversized Tortoise Watch

$250.00

Are these not to-die for?

Tortoise Shell flats with bow!

$115.00

J.Crew Outlet Headband

I bought this just the other day for $10-$12

I know a couple of these are a bit above a college student's budget, but a girl can dream, can't she?

 I can't pinpoint where my obsession with tortoise shell started, but I do remember when I was younger, my mom picking out glasses or a purse with the pattern on it. I always thought she was saying tort-a-shell. Haha. I think this was what peaked my interest!

 As an avid shopper, I have come to appreciate the combination of brown and black together. This, along with the classic look of anything tortoise shell is what draws me in so much.

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

A lot of people seemed to be a fan of my post last week about what I was loving on Wednesday, so I thought that I would try my best to keep this up!

1. I'm loving these pink flats at M.C. Adams Clothier in Boone! They were regularly priced $35.00, which isn't bad anyway, but now the pairs they have left are 20% off. I would love to add these to my shoe collection!

So cute!

2. My sweet boyfriend! I felt like I hadn't gotten to spend time with Jake in ages and last night he cooked dinner and invited me over to eat. It was so nice to just relax and be together for a couple hours. He made shrimp scampi, which I'd never had, very tasty! We even made some brownies for dessert. It was such a great night:)

I love this funny picture of us from Jake's formal last year!

3. Big/Little Week! This week has been crazy in Alpha Phi. We have been having Big/Little week for all the new members. Girls have been crafting day and night trying to get everything done and I think it has gone wonderfully. Revealing is tomorrow night and I'm so excited about it. I can't wait to finally hangout with my FOUR new g-littles woohoo!

4. Lip Sync Prelims! Lip Sync is a dance competition that Appalachian has every year. During homecoming in the fall, any organization can participate and all the sororities pair up with a fraternity. We have another (much more intense) competition in the spring during greek week, when the fraternities and sororities participate separately. This year we are doing lip sync with FIJI. The pre-lims are tonight and everyone that's not dancing goes to support their organization. Everything has been kept a mystery this year, so I'm really excited to see the theme and choreography! 

Two years ago our theme was A-Phi in Wonderland and we won 1st place!

Last fall we had a CSI theme, here I am with my partner!
