"She's so Rock N'Roll and out of my league."-NeverShoutNever

So I went to the sample sale and came back with nothing. Surprising? VERY! I must've tried on 10 dresses and liked about three but they were too dressy for the occasions I need them for. To make this post less depressing I'll share what I bought at the sample sale over the summer and my little collection of Betsey Johnson.


Bought at the Sample Sale over the Summer, this is a sample and did not have tags on it. I paid $15 for it then a few months later I saw it retailed for $245!

I think I got this for $25 at the sample sale but it retailed for $275. This is from her vintage collection
"Naughty or Nice" necklace that I got from the sample sale. I think it was $15 I'm not sure though.
I think this is the prettiest dress I've ever seen! Four years ago when I started thinking about my batmitzvah(even though it was 3 years away) I saw this dress on Betsey Johnson's website. The second I saw it I knew I wanted it. It was so girly and fun to wear especially cus I paired it with my converse.

I bought this dress last spring at an outlet near by. I think it was memorial day weekend and their was a big sale going on and I bought this for a party that I had coming up. I have my 8th grade graduation this year so I'm thinking of wearing this. On the sides this has hidden pockets that I love.

I bought this belt a month ago when I was going to a party where you had to wear all black. I needed some color so I chose this.

Legitimate signature? I think so.
Okay, this is definitely going to sound cheesy, but last year in my Writing Enrichment class we had to right to someone we admire and ask for their signature. So I chose Betsey and wrote to her telling her the story behind my batmitzvah dress and all my admiration for her. This year in I want to say november, she finally sent back this card! I think its a real signature, what do you think?

I bought these sunnies and this necklace last year when I got a gift card to Betsey Johnson as a batmitzvah present.

I bought this at the sample sale last summer for around $5/$10 and saw it retailed last may for $45! I use this makeup bag/clutch every single day and I take it with me everywhere.

This is probably the first bag I have ever owned, I got it around 3 or 4 years ago at Century21. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Betsey is one of my favorite designers and I love all her stuff! I tried posting this yesterday but blogger was being really annoying and wasn't uploading all of my pics. Anyways TGIF! I have done so much state test prep that I really can't take it anymore! I'm off to get some homework done then tonight I'm going to the movies. WOW I almost forgot! Tomorrow is my first  day at my F.I.T. MiddleSchool weekend classes! I have no idea what I'm going to wear cus it's supposed to rain all day :( Enjoy your weekend!

A fatal attraction to cuteness

UrbanOutfitters, Waterfall Ruffle Duvet Cover, $148.00

UrbanOutfitters, Cupcake Pedestal Vanity Stand, $18.00

UrbanOutfitters, Doll House Jewelry Stand, $68.00

The internet is a very bad, very evil place, filled with the wonderful world online shopping. Anyways.... I've needed new summer blankets and a comforter for the winter for a while now. I found the Waterfall Ruffle on the UrbanOutfitters website just a few minutes ago and I absolutely love it! It just seems so vintage, parisian, and girly all at the same time. 

The Cup Cake Pedestal reminds me of the Juicy Couture stores where every countertop has jars filled with colorful and bright candy. I've always wanted to try that for my room or get a jewelry hold like this.

 The Doll House Jewelry stand is very quirky, fun, and interesting. It kind of reminds me of Alice in Wonderland and when I was younger when I would stack all my backyard chairs and try to sit on the top one.  :)

Just so you don't start thinking I've gone M.I.A. on wednesday, I'll be going to the city for a Betsey Johnson sample sale! I'm really excited about this! When I went over the summer I got cardigans that were in stores for $250! I also got a really cute makeup bag/clutch for $15 that was being sold in stores for $45. 
Enjoy the rest of your monday!

Yesterday and today's weather was absolutely gorgeous! 60 degree weather two weeks after a foot of snow. These pictures are from a few hours ago, I did my homework outside, took out my fave mag, and listened to my iPod. I guess you could say life is good and spring is almost here!

 I meant to post about my weekend last night but I was so exhausted. Friday night I saw Alice in Wonderland. It was very good yet, not what I expected.
**SPOILER ALERT** scroll past the next paragraph if you do not want to read my review of the movie

The setting takes place about thirteen years after Alice's first adventure in 'Wonderland'. She is at a party which is secretly being held in her honor because she is about to be proposed to. Even though she is meant to marry the man, she doesn't really like him because in many ways he doesn't appreciate her. When he proposes in a gazebo in front of the whole party to see, she says she has to think about it and runs away into a garden where she follows the white rabbit that she was fascinated with before, down a hole and into wonderland. From there the rest of the movie takes off. If you've read the book you'll notice many things and chapters. The initial problem is that the Red Queen has control of Wonderland and no one is happy with that and live in fear of being beheaded. In order for Wonderland to go back to normal(the way it was under the White Queen's reign) Alice must defeat the Jabberwocky. The film was beautifully done and definately a Tim Burton.
