September Haul!

I am so excited! POPSUGAR kindly sent over their must-have box for August and I  have to say, I absolutely love it!

It came with a bunch of items, but the lifestyle ones (that my mom didn't take!) were a weekly planner from May Designs that is the best one I've ever seen because it doesn't have dates in it so you can use it whenever! It also came with this beautiful gold circle necklace from Gorjana that is so pretty and delicate. It came with more items but I'll be reviewing them on my other blog, A Thing of Beauty.

I also picked up a Guess wallet during their Labor Day sale and I'm so happy I got it! It's the perfect size I've been looking for-so the next time you need a new wallet, check out what Guess has!

I'd love to know if you're a POPSUGAR subscriber & if you got last month's box-let me know in the comments below!

How to style denim or chambray shirts!

I recently participated in the Sears Style Twitter party, where we chatted all about fall fashion (and I won a $100 Sears gift card for which I am SO thankful!) and one of the topics was denim, and I noticed how a lot of people said they weren't sure how to wear denim shirts.

I'm sure we all remember Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's memorable denim ensembles in the early 2000's (if you don't, click here at your own risk!) so it's understandable that no one ever wants to repeat that. I have a favorite denim shirt in my wardrobe that I wear way too often-it's such a staple piece! I thought I'd share a little post on my favorite ways to style my polka dot chambray shirt that I got on clearance from Kohls for just $10.80! It's still available online here if you want to buy it!

Without further ado, here's my favorite pieces to wear with a denim shirt on top!








Circle skirts, white shorts, and colored denim (I swear those jeans are pinker in real life!) are the easiest and most stylish ways I've found so far to wear denim shirts.

I always get compliments when I wear full circle skirts with it-the combo just looks so fresh & girly!

I'd love to know-what's your favorite way to wear a denim shirt? Let me know in the comments below!

Check out this Zara Office City Bag dupe from Target!

I've had my eye on the Zara Office City bag for ages, but have never come close to forking over $90 on a bag. So, I have come across this amazing dupe on Target.com for a fraction of the price!

I stumbled on this bag on Target.com, and it says it's sold in stores, but it's actually on price cut for just $27.99 right now! So after tax & shipping I paid $34.97 total-not bad for a dupe.

I did a little more researching before I bought it, and if you'd like to see another review with more photos, check out this review from The Glamorous Gleam-she's what convinced me to cave & buy the bag!

Overall, I'm really happy with the bag. It comes with three compartments total: the first has space for pens & little stuff, the second is an open compartment that can be enlarged by unbuttoning the sides, and the third is specially padded for electronics. My 15.6 inch laptop doesn't fit in the padded electronics compartment, but it does fit in the center when I unbutton it. I'd say if you had a laptop that was 15 inches or less, it would fit in that compartment.

I'm definitely glad I made this purchase because the bag doesn't look cheap or like a knockoff-it's the perfect accessory I need for meetings & events.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments on the bag-I'd love to hear what you think in the comments!
