the chemicals that make me fall in love

no school for seniors this week :)

so, I did a little shopping today, obviously.

and i finally found my prom dress!!

plus, I officially have a date, as of today!

I just couldn't be happier! 

So aujourd'hui, I got this huge rock ring at Love Illuminati

Love has awesome stuff + a great jewelry collection that includes pieces 

from House of Harlow--Nicole Richie's jewelry line.

Love also does beautiful photoshoots with local girls + guys. 

They have a website + blog...you can check both out here.

I also purchased a cream + black silk Helmut Lang dress at a local boutique, David Witchells. 

It was regularly $485, but was marked down to an incredible price of $75!

It's a classy dress with edgy details.

The open, low-cut back + the black, stretchy cotton-spandex paneling keep the dress looking young + fresh.

I couldn't resist buying it, even though I have nowhere to wear it as of right now.

It was just such a good deal. 

Witchells always has great sales...this summer I also picked up a black Alice + Olivia 

bandage skirt--that was originally $300--for only $50!

This past Sunday, I also did some shopping in New York City.

Whenever I'm there, I always have to stop by Housing Works on 17th + 7th.

I found these amazing shoes made by El Dantes + snagged them for only $45!

As of right now, I'd say that they're the coolest shoes I own.

And let me tell ya, they certainly make people's heads turn!

Sunday, I also stopped by a trendy boutique in Soho called Big Drop.

I picked up this minty green silk Dolce Vita top with lace inset on the back.

It's such a cute top!

I love interesting shirts like this one that have character and are very unique.

I also got a bright red silk t-shirt by Emille from Big Drop.

At Housing Works, I also found an adorable Marc by Marc Jacobs grey vest.

I've been looking for a cute vest that wasn't too masculine + now I finally found one that I love!

And last but not least, I purchased my first piece of Christian Dior from Housing Works for only $60!

It's a cream silk blazer with black trim + it's just adorable!

Plus it fits perfectly, so I am also very excited about that!

Well looks like I gotta run! 

I just found out I have to work tonight :(

bummer

I'll post pictures of the prom dress I got from David Witchells tomorrow!

have a lovely night

xoxo
