Ruche {Great Customer Service}

As I had previously posted, I made my first purchase from Ruche after my friend Rachel showed me this. After receiving the conformation email I received a second one apologizing that they had just sold out of the necklace and that i would be credited my money back. Some what disappointed I found this dress and made the swap. Today I got another email informing me that they are now re-stocked with the original necklace I had loved so much and it was available for purchase. I replied (totally bummed out) thanks, but no thanks (out of money.) Low and behold another email pops into my inbox, and guess what it said.... "...we are sending you the necklace FREE of charge and FREE shipping." THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
...oh the simple things in life.

Important Details

For the Love of Alice.

I just purchased this "Oh dear, I shall be too late" charm necklace from here. The other 3 items reminded me of something Alice would have worn to a picnic in the garden of red roses.

Chiffon Blooms

Mom, you can purchase it here.

The Look For Less (Must Haves)

Jean #1 are Old Navy for $34.50 (The Weekend-er)
Jean #2 are Lucky Brand for $129.00 (The Boyfriend)

I actually bought The Weekend-er from Old Navy about 2 weeks ago for $19. They happened to be running a special on them so Mom and i snatched them up! I am not a fan of Old Navy's jeans normally but since this fit is naturally imperfect it was a great compromise, not to mention how comfortable they are!


Boot #1 is a Frye boot called the "Cameron" for $348.00
Boot #2 is from Rack Room Shoes for $44.99.

Now... I know boot #2 is not real leather nor will it feel as wonderful as the Frye but for the price this is definitely a great look-a-like.


Enjoy!

Garth Brooks

So recently i have been adding items to my collection of goodies for my room makeover. That has been really fun. I normally splurge on clothes and clothes only, but finding stuff for my room to make it more comfortable and chic is quite satisfying.
Last Sunday night i was having one of those "for absolutely no reason" meltdowns trying to get ready for church. I had "nothing to wear." (I have everything imaginable but just not that night.) I pulled out my MacBook and opened up iTunes to a random playlist while i got ready.

This is how i get dressed.

And if you saw me Sunday night, No- I did not listen to Garth Brooks. Yes, i did wear cowboy boots but if you know me well, you know that i am quite the boot-a-holic. My song for the night? Icky Thump by The White Stripes.
