Although I couldn't find the Michael Kors watch online at the price I snagged it for a T.J. Maxx, I did find a very good dupe of the watch on Overstock.com. The same MK watch I got at T.J. Maxx is going for $173 on Overstock right now, while the Geneva dupe lands under $30! Obviously the quality of these watches are not going to be the same but if you've been eyeing this watch like I have, and are just going for the look of the watch and the turquoise face, the Geneva watch on Overstock is definitely a great option!
Michael Kors Channing Stainless Steel Watch ($173) | Geneva Platinum Roman Numeral Link Watch ($28) I have been eyeing the Michael Kors Channing Turquoise Gold Steel Watch since last summer but could never justify buying it, especially since I don't wear watches that often. I convinced myself that I would wear this watch if I had it, but kept it on the back burner until this past weekend when I walked by the jewelry counter at T.J. Maxx and my eyes fell upon the glory that is this watch. It was a fraction of the price I had seen it going for last summer in other department stores so I had to make it mine.

I love all the designer looks coming out this Spring/Summer. What I love even more is finding the same great look without throwing away a paycheck. I've been shopping around Target a lot recently and have been so surprised at how cute their Spring and Summer collection is. For me it's always been hard to find dresses that not only fit correctly at my chest but are also long enough to adequately cover my gifted derriere #blessed. They either fit perfectly at my chest but are too short or the length is perfect but it is too big in the chest. Moral to this story- when I find a dress that fits just right, I do not hesitate in snatching it up. While browsing around Target I also noticed that they've stepped their shoe game up this season. I've seen a lot of designer shoe dupes available this season. I'm talking J.Crew, Tory Burch and Valentino lookalikes! I've rounded up a few of the dupes and linked them in the images below!
I have been eyeing these wedges for the longest time! I'm not the best or most comfortable when it comes to walking in any kind of heel but wedges seem to be the easiest for me and these are just what I have been looking for. I like that they aren't strappy like most wedges and offer more stability since they cover the top of your feet. I love the triangle cutouts, open-toe and the dark tone of the wood wedge. I've also been obsessing over this turquoise-face Michael Kors watch since last summer and there's a slight chance that I'm talking myself into making it mine very soon. I don't exactly know how, but I stumbled upon a clothing line called MINKPINK that is carried at Nordstrom and the clothing is so cute! The line has a vintage/girly feel to it. This wonderful romper is MINKPINK and it could not be more simple and fun. The black and white pattern is classic but the neon trim on the pockets adds a vibrant pop. The halter neckline is so flattering. Happy weekend! SHOP MY FRIDAY FAVES:
This is a special edition of Friday Faves because tomorrow is my birthday! It's rumored that nobody likes you when you're 23, but hopefully 23 will prove to be the best year yet. One of my goals for this year is to do a little updating in my wardrobe and add more versatile, age-appropriate (but still fun) pieces. I love a good Spring cleaning so I plan to take a weekend soon to clean out my mess of a closet and rid it of anything I haven't worn in the past year. This Friday Faves consists of pieces on my birthday wish-list! SHOP MY FRIDAY FAVES:
I've grown to love Shopbop, especially when they have sales! Until tomorrow at midnight, you can receive 25% off your order with code 'SPRING25'. This Spring I'm making it a top priority to add more dresses to my wardrobe so I've gathered some items I've been eyeing from the sale to show you. Happy shopping! Shop my Shopbop picks in the widget below! In my opinion, leopard print might as well be a solid color. It's one of those patterns that to me defies the rules of pattern play. You can mix and match it with just about anything if done the right way. Leopard print clutches are an easy go-to to add a fun and edgy touch to your outfit without trying too hard. I've round up various clutches for this weeks Splurge vs. Steal - let me know what you think! My fave look is probably the Clare V. fold over clutch from Shopbop but for the price, quality and my sanity, I wouldn't have any problems with this Carly Clutch from Catch Bliss Boutique!
It was beautiful this past weekend and then.. today happened. It's cold and rainy and although tomorrow is promised to be sunny with no signs of rain (fingers crossed), I won't be completely happy until it's at least mid-60s again. It's not easy blogging about summer clothes knowing that I can't wear any yet. With summer on my mind, I picked 5 items that I would love to add to my wardrobe. I love this off-the-shoulder top from Revolve. It's flirty, lightweight and the pop of embroidered color around the wrists is bright and summery. In other words, it's perfect. I've also grown to appreciate rompers, although I would never attempt to pull one off. Rompers are an easy go-to when you want to look trendy and cute but don't necessarily have the time or effort to put an outfit together. I'm loving this one, and it's on sale! SHOP MY FRIDAY FAVES:
I am and always have been a sucker for tassels. They're so fun and add the perfect pop of color to turn any boring outfit from simple to bright and wonderful. The trick with this trending accessory is to shop around for ones that are not only within your price range, but have a nice quality to them as well. You don't want beaded earrings that are poorly made because they are more likely to fall apart.
After doing my research, I went with the tassel earrings from Tuckernuck and luckily snagged them on sale during the Christmas holiday last year and I can't tell you how much I love them. I haven't worn them but maybe once or twice since getting them in December but they will get plenty of wear this summer. As the weather flip flops between warm and chilly, I'm stuck keeping an extra short sleeve t-shirt and spare jacket and umbrella in the car because it is truly that unpredictable at this point. All I can think about is warmer weather and although it may not yet even be spring, all I can think about is sunshine and summer. This Friday Five reflects the state of mind I'm in right now (...bundled up in a cozy Patagonia as I write this). Loving this tank and these sandals right now, though. I can so easily see them paired with a good pair of white jeans. SHOP MY FRIDAY FAVES:
I have come to terms with the fact that I have very recently turned into a handbag/purse/cross-body girl. I've never liked handbags because I hated lugging it around and I'd never actually had anything to put in it besides my wallet, keys and cell phone but that has all changed. I have been converted. I have fallen in love with this Kate Spade Perri Lane Satchel bag. It's not a new bag but I have just discovered it (thanks Pinterest). Being that it's not new, it's no longer on the Kate Spade website, although I've found it on Amazon and on multiple eBay auctions for much lower than the price it retailed for. It comes in various colors but my favorites are black, grey and white. The black goes with everything but all of them have a spring-y feel to me because of the eyelet-like pattern on the front. For some reason it reminds me of flowers and I love it. I'm keeping my eye on this bag for sure. These coral stud earrings also caught my eye because they are identical to these Kate Spade stud earrings but the ones I've posted are almost 1/5 of the price of the Kate Spade studs! Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to downplay the Kate Spade earrings one bit because they're not outrageously expensive by any means, but anywhere I have can make room to save money on an item that's almost identical to the original for a fraction of the price… it just makes sense, especially if you're not caught up on the name brand. Plus, opting for the less-expensive-almost-identical-studs will make me feel (slightly) better about splurging on the Kate Spade Satchel bag! If you've read any of my earlier blog posts about shoes you'll also know that I am not fond of any shoe with a heel either. Not because I don't love the way they look but because I look like a baby deer on ice when I walk in them. This is my own fault because I've never made myself practice walking in heels but I'm gradually introducing myself to them. These booties are perfect. Not too high and chunky enough for me to be comfortable. I'm on the lookout for shoes like this for the Spring/Summer. SHOP MY FRIDAY FAVES:
