Randomosity at its finest

Randomosity -- is that even a word?

You're right...who cares?!

Linking up with the oh so fabulous and wonderful and beautiful Shanna ( can you tell I love her?) from Because Shanna Said So  for her first ever link-up of...

Who doesn't love anything with the word "random" in it? 

No one.

Know why? 'Cause random means you can say whatever the heck you want to and nobody can say a dern thing about it 'cause guess what...

IT'S RANDOM.

Bam. Let's go.

1. Y'all are familiar with the oh-so-hilarious website Dogshaming, right? I hope so. If not, you're welcome for introducing you. Basically..when people's dogs do those things that just make you want to kick 'em sometimes...you take a picture of them looking shameful (or not so shameful, sometimes) with a sign stating their crime. It's hilarious. I didn't know dogs could be capable of some of these things.

ANYWAY, long story short -- I submitted one of my dog after her little 11 lb. self sniffed her way to the leftover Halloween candy and helped herself to a couple of miniature Milky Ways and Snickers. No worries, she was only able to open a few. But she also hid fifteen more around the house (in her bed, under MY bed, in my dad's recliner). Sneaky little chihuahua....

SHAMEFUL, I tell ya. 

;)

Still waiting on hers to be published so we can claim doggy fame. I'll keep y'all updated. Duh.

In Lust..

..over Stella & Dot.

No, but really. It's become a little problem. 

And the fact that my brother's beautiful  girlfriend, Kait, is hosting her very first trunk show this weekend isn't helping in the slightest ;)

You see, I already want to buy, oh..everything. And since this is her first party, that makes me want to buy even more than everything because I want to make her look good. 

Problem?

Bank account.

Darn, those things. Never there for ya when ya need 'em to be.

But luckily for this chick (and Kait, too), the holidays are quickly approaching (Christmas is just over a month and a half away!) and Santa owes me some Stella & Dot via Daddy's credit card. Now, I realize how bratty that just made me sound, but hey. The truth is the truth. ;)

So, with that being said..here are the pieces I'm lusting the most over...

Signature Hoops, Bronze, $29

 

Gigi Studs, Black, $24

Estate Chandelier Earrings, $49

 

Chimera Bangle, $59

Ella Bracelet, Brown, $44

Tempest Bracelet, $98 (oof...)

Stackable Band Rings, Set of 5, $39

Limited Edition Fox Ring, $59

 

Suzanne Cocktail Ring, $39

 And lastly...

Mom Charm, $36

 No, I'm obviously not a mom.

But I thought this would be yet another way to have my mom close to my heart at all times!

Do y'all own any Stella & Dot jewelry? What pieces are you currently loving?

Let me know!! 

Have a fabulous weekend, y'all!

"Good price for you"

Those were the words I heard over and over again for the entire 3 1/2 hours I spent in Chinatown on my NYC trip a couple weeks ago.

Don't get me wrong -- I wasn't surprised. I've been to Chinatown twice before so I know how it works. But it just never ceases to amaze me and make me laugh.  

Oh, Chinatown.

;)

Apparently Chinatown is getting a little on the comfortable side because the first couple times I went, I was taken into so many "back rooms" and swung behind countless fake walls that I lost count and often risked my life for the sake of a knockoff handbag.

But this past time, there wasn't a back room in sight. Everything was kept in drawers right in the store. The drawers weren't even locked.

So I figure that means 1 of 2 things:

1. Like I said before, they're just getting cocky and saying "to heck with the cops"

or...

2. Everything is a lot more fake than it used to be so they just don't care. 

Personally, I'm going with number 2 because we still had a couple store owners rush us in our decisions because of "cops, hurry up, cops". Yeah....

Nonetheless, I racked up in Chinatown and am extremely satisfied with my loot...knockoff or not. 

Take a look:

Tory Burch handbag: $35

Tory Burch wallet: $20

Michael Kors crossbody satchel: $30

Tory Burch necklace: $15

(p.s. I talked homegirl down from $45...winning!)

Tory Burch stud earrings: 2 for $25 

 

David Yurman-ish ring: $15

 L: Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy: $15

C: Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia: $27 (talked down from $65)

R: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue: $15

8 solid color pashminas: $27

3 printed pashminas: $14

1 chunky infinity scarf: $8  

 (slapping myself for not getting more than one of the infinity scarves..so soft, warm, and comfy)

And I know y'all can't tell from the picture, but you'll just have to take my word that these aren't the cheap scarves...they are THICK and so soft. I should have bought a few more, don't you think?

And my most favorite purchase/find...without a doubt...

 Michael Kors watch: $40 

Now, I know this is fake. BUT, I think it's a pretty good fake for $40.

What do y'all think? 

Oh, and would y'all think I'm crazy if I said this entire Sterilite container is now filled with scarves?

Yes? 

Then let's pretend they're....blankets. 

No? 

Feel free to borrow a couple any time.

Maybe so?

Maybe you're right...

Have y'all ever been to Chinatown? Do you have any funny stories? What was your favorite purchase? 

Have a fab Monday, y'all!
