Mama's Got a Brand New Bag.

I purchased my first of two handbags I wanted to get this month. I saw this beautiful leather python print Michael Kors Sloan clutch at Macy's about a month ago and wanted it. I was in desperate need of a new clutch, I've been using a Marc Jacobs wristlet for way too long! Fortunately, Zappos.com had the very same clutch as Macy's and Neiman's at the same price, but without tax and free shipping. I loved this clutch because the chain makes the purse versatile and easy to wear as a shoulder bag or tuck the chain and use as a clutch.

 Zappos.com has become my go to website for handbags and shoes now, I'm obsessed! After purchasing this purse on Friday (received it yesterday!), I was upgraded to "VIP" status on the website. If you spend a certain amount on the website in a year, they upgrade your account to give you more perks- most noticeably is free next day shipping if ordered before 1pm PST. I read it's even easier to become a "VIP" member to Zappos by just contacting customer service about it. I took advantage of this offer yesterday by ordering a new pair of Sam Edelman sandals I saw at Nordstrom. I haven't been able to track the shipping, so we'll see if it makes it here today!

First Attempt!

Dress: Charlotte Ronson Sunglasses: Tory Burch Jewelry: Marc Jacobs, Mango Shoes: Michael Kors

This is my first real "Outfit of the day" post! I'm not a natural poser and my friends know how I hate most pictures, but for my first attempt at this I'm pretty pleased! This is also the first time I wore my Ronson dress and I absolutely LOVED it!! The high low cut was a perfect flow-y. This dress is already one of my favorites for the season. I could have done without the Marc Jacobs bangle, but I can't help but still love it!

Daily Accessories.

 I am a girl of simple accessorizing and pretty much wear the same pieces on a daily basis. I got rid a lot of accessories I never wear and have been building up a "nicer" collection. I'm still in search of a good watch, as I've never been a watch person... so any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

I recently bought this Marc Jacobs bangle and I LOVE wearing it. The only problem is it's heavy and after awhile it begins to hurt my wrist. My friend put it on and immediately noticed how much it hurt to wear, but it still doesn't stop me from wearing it all the time. It comes in other colors too and I am tempted to get a second one in pink!

I walked into the 5th Avenue Tiffany & Co in November with every intentions of buying a bracelet, but walked out with these pearl earrings instead. I was in search of an "everyday" pair of earrings and what girl doesn't want a beautiful pair of pearls! Unfortunately these broke after the first week I got them, but I've had past experience with Tiffany and knew they would forever replace/fix their products. I went to the Houston store and received a brand new pair.

I have a round face and hate most sunglasses on me because they appear to be to small for my face. I found these Tory Burch aviators last May that suited my face very well. I take them with me everywhere I go! The rim of the glasses is a more purple color and a gold bar between the lenses. I get compliments on them all the time!

Marc Jacobs has been one of my favorite designer for years and if there were any brand I am a "label whore" to it's Marc Jacobs. The gold plated wishbone necklace and dart necklaces are two of my favorite necklaces I own and wear one or the other just about everyday! The wishbone receives the most compliments from people, even my sister and friend bought one after seeing mine. The wishbone now comes in silver and I must have it!!

I've been messing around on Polyvore and decided this might be a fun way to post at night- a head to toe Marc Jacobs outfit I put together. With a different belt, I think this would be a gorgeous day outfit! I love dresses in blues!

Happy New Years from the Big Easy!
