Oh Prada

Hello ladies,
sorry for the major dry spell of not posting, but I have just been major busy with schoolwork.
Anyways, I have come out of hibernation to share some truly gorgeous bags, courtesy of the one and only Prada. Seriously, these bags are definitely worth of lusting over. Too bad they are all way out of a normal teenager's price range.

Prada Trembled Blossoms Bag
Is this not just the cutest little bag? I absolutely love the color combination. The colors are so vibrant, yet muted. For such a small bag, it sure stands out!
Retail Price: $2,290


Prada Fairy Bag
I would say that you either hate this bag, or you love it. I, of course, absolutely love it. It doesn't look like your typical designer bag. Made from deerskin, this bag is so unique and fun. It was first introduced in January as a limited edition bag, and now has a super long wait list. If only I had the money...

Retail Price: $2,290-$2,490





And I leave you with this last blurb:
I would love to be the daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Not only are your parents the hottest couple on the planet, but you get little designer bags custom made for you, like what cute Zahara is proudly displaying

Botkier for Target!

I just read this piece of news on one of my favorite blogs, A Little Bag Obsessed. (The link is to the right, under "Hit List.")

Apparently, Botkier is designing a limited-edition line of handbags for Target!

Is anybody else completely STOKED for this?

Balenciaga-inspired shoes!

I recently fell in love with these shoes from the spring 2008 Balenciaga show:

I don't know why, but I adore them. And now, look at this pair I found, for $13! They're not exact, but they're similar! What would you rock them with?

Tackling the closet.

I finally organized my closet today! I got rid of SO much stuff, it's ridiculous. Not only did my sister end up with about 20 new tops and five pairs of jeans, I have a trash bag full of things for charity. [:

Also, my shopping list is much shorter. I didn't realize how many things I already have! Instead of needing $400, I only need - get this! - $136! (For five long-sleeved tops, one tube top, and two pairs of jeans.) I'm seriously amazed!

Shopping Spree & New Shoes!

I ended up buying the shoes in the below post! They're really comfortable & I got soooo many compliments. Nobody believed me when I said they were from Payless, haha!

Also, I decided to forget about my $400 shopping spree. That's like four months of no-shopping, and I just can't handle that! So, I'll still stick to my list, but just go in shorter bits.

That being said - Spring Break is next week and I'm going to go through my closet and get rid of a lot and also take note of things I already have so that I can refine my list, specifically tops. I love jeans too much to give up any of the ones on my list!

I know this is a short post, especially since they've been few and far between lately, but senior year is sooo stressful. I have two major projects I have to work on - ugh! Only two months left! :]

The cutest shoes ever!

Ah, fellow readers, it's been so long! Sorry for the brief lack of posts here at CM, I know I've been terribly busy with school & scholarships, & I'm sure the other girls have been just as busy. (You try catching back up after missing a week of school!)

But, let us not think that this week has been wasted. I found the cutestcutestcutest pair of shoes! I'm going to buy them soon for my outing to Six Flags. [:

This pair, from Payless Shoe Source, are very similar to the ones at Old Navy & Forever 21, for just a few dollars less.

While I would prefer ones that are pink, like those found at F21, I like the heel on these better & the color is too fun to pass up. However, this seems to be a hot style this season, so I might end up with two pairs!

I'm going to the mall tonight to try them on, & I'll let everyone know how they feel.

Prom!

As you girls know, prom is just around the corner and I know that almost all of you are still looking for the perfect dress. I've found some gorgeous dresses that I'm sure you ladies will love. And I have to warn you, they may be on the expensive side, but prom is something you want to remember for the rest of your life, right? So, lets make the most of it.

Longer Dresses:

These dresses are absolutely gorgeous. If you want a more princess-y looking gown, then these are the styles you should go for. Personally, I find that longer prom dresses look a lot classier and more formal as well. If you want more of a casual prom dress look, then look for some dressers that are more shorter in length.

Where to find these dresses:
All can be found at: Prom Girl.net

Shorter Dresses:

These shorter dresses have a more sexy and playful vibe to them, and they're just as gorgeous as the longer dresses. The type of prom dress you choose should reflect your personal style. If you like a more classic and elegant look, go for a longer dress. For a more playful and flirty look, try on some shorter dresses. Your prom should be what you make it. Don't be afraid to spend some extra cash for a night you'll remember forever.
