I was just talking to one of my good friends from Florida, who reminded me that I love shopping and life. :) I decided to do a little post about my favorite things. I am no Oprah, but I LOVE to shop and have pretty good taste. So here goes....
First, I am sick of Vera Bradley. Everyone and their mother has it now. I loved it about 8 years ago, but when I am in Walmart and the toothless lady beside me has one, I just can't look at them the same (I know, sounds stuck up).
So I recently switched to this little Scout Uptown Girl bag for my teacher items.
So I recently switched to this little Scout Uptown Girl bag for my teacher items.
I love it for $27!!!
I also just got this one from Lilly Pulitzer.
This one runs about $88, but will be instyle for a lifetime!
Lilly never goes out of style.
This is the best darn planner in the world! I buy it every year from Tiny Prints. I love that it puts my name on it, comes with clips, a zipper pouch, stickers, and gift tags inside. This planner is by far the best out there for moms, teachers, and everyone else in between. If I could kiss the person who made it, I would!
I am addicted to address labels, but these are my favorite! I get them over at the Preppy Princess. You get 30 for $4.
Holls Chocolates are the best chocolates in the entire universe! Since moving to West Virginia, I was introduced to these unbelievably good treats! I would rather have these any day over Godiva or any other brand. I highly recommend them and they ship all over the world. No preservatives either!
My camera strap by Cotton Candy. I love this thing! I love the print, I love to wear it on my neck, and it is a great price. Very high quality!
My new favorite artist is Jill's Dreams. I have bought several of her paintings for my "office". They all are bright, cheerful, and pretty to look at. I have gotten so many compliments from friends at my house on these cute paintings.
I am a makeup junkie! I worked behind a Clinique counter to put myself through college. I am an addict! One day I will take a picture of my bathroom and you will just die! I can't get enough of Hourglass Carbon mascara! It is the best for my lashes! It doesn't cake, it defines each little lash, and doesn't come off during the day.
For all of us teachers who get up at the crack of dawn and have NO eyeshadow on at the end of the day, then Urban Decay Shadow Potion is for you! I have had my shadow stay on from 5:00 am to 9:45 pm on conference night with this bad boy! No creases, no smudges, just beautiful eye shadow!
Finally, I love Stila Long Wear Lip Color. I love that it stays on at least until lunch at 12:00pm with my kiddo's (after many cups of coffee and Diet Dr. Pepper). I love that it doesn't cake in the corners or peel like many long last lipsticks. This stuff is moisturizing and has a little hint of mint to it!
- I am still on the search for the perfect pen to write with. I like the Sharpie pen, and Flair's are OK, but I am on the quest to find the perfect pen!!!!
I know this post is pretty random, but that is the type of person I am. I keep you busy and thinking!
Now go and join over at Fun in First Grade and share your Favorite Things!
Love this post- lots of great stuff! One of these days I am going to buy one of those planners- they are actually on sale I think right now on her site because we are part-way into 2011 now :)
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I still love Vera Bradley haha, but I like the purses you posted too.
Love this post! Great minds think alike because during my 6 mile run today, I was creating a "favorite things" post in my head. Maybe I'll get around to doing it later this week! LOVE the Scout Uptown Girl bag.

Thanks for sharing. The Scout bag is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love Urban Decay even though my sister-in-law works for Estee Lauder in the city. I will ask her to get me that Clinique mascara. I love Prescriptives Lash Envy but that line is no longer in stores :(

You made me laugh out loud with the toothless lady at walmart. We have very similiar tastes, thanks for sharing!

The Uni-ball Vision Elite is THE perfect pen! You have to get bold though, the micro is too scratchy and thin.
ReplyDeletePS - I think the link party is a great idea too!

I also worked at Clinique in college! And...I am OBSESSED with Lilly Pulitzer! Great bag!
ReplyDeleteI am a makeup freak! I can't watch smashbox on QVC anymore, and forget about Laura Geller! My closet is busting with makeup for the next century! I am giving away pink pens on my blog: pinksmyink.blogspot.com, enter and you might find your favorite pen (one is a sharpie, though). I think teachers like to hoard everything in sight, just in case it doesn't exist a week from now, LOL.

When it comes to our favorite things, we all have unique preferences and cherished items that bring us joy and comfort. From the simple pleasures of a warm cup of coffee in the morning to the exhilaration of exploring new destinations, our favorite things add color and happiness to our lives.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things is indulging in a good book. There's something magical about getting lost in a captivating story or immersing myself in the wisdom and knowledge found within its pages. Whether it's fiction or non-fiction, books have the power to transport me to different worlds and expand my horizons.
