Topshop: Astrix Boots & Forever 21 Slip Ons
I will be the first one to admit that I have an addiction to buying shoes, which I guess is why I recently ended up bringing home two new pairs.
Last week, I ordered the Astrix Platform Boots from Topshop. I got them in the black leather style and even though I haven't worn them out yet they are probably my new favorites. Trying them on around the house, they are very comfortable and it doesn't really feel like you're wearing heels because the whole shoe is a platform. They are currently on sale for $40.

From Forever 21, I grabbed their leather slip on flats (sneakers?), I've been seeing different versions of these in tons of stores recently like Vans, Nordstrom, and Steve Madden which all are a little more expensive.

DIY: Jewelry Box
While shopping, I came across this tiny wooden box, and instantly thought it would be perfect for a DIY. You can make this easy and affordable jewelry box for under $5.
You need:
- a small wooden, or plastic box (this one was on sale at Target for under $3)
- your choice of spray paint ($0.97 at Home Depot)
- optional decorations
- an outdoor work space
I made the mistake of doing this on a windy day so my newspaper was blowing everywhere. I sprayed my first coat of paint, then let it dry for about 30-40 minutes before going over it another time. I did a total of four layers of paint (two on the outside and two on the inside of the box). I picked up a few pendants and decorations from Hobby Lobby, but haven't decided if I'm going to add them yet.

Shopping at Aeropostale?
When someone says Aeropostale I'm sure most people think of the same thing: the preppy style of clothing that was taking over middle schools in 2006. While I can definitely say I was guilty of shopping there in the past, I basically have avoided stores like Aero, American Eagle, and Hollister, since, so I was pretty surprised when I randomly wandered into Aeropostale and actually found something I liked. Since they apparently haven't been doing too well lately business wise there were sales on almost everything. I grabbed the Tokyo Darling Zodiac Graphic T on a 50% discount. Here are some possible outfit options:)

For months its seems I've been passing the Clarisonic Mia Facial Brush at Macy's trying to convince myself to buy it. But after asking the saleswomen one question I was quickly introduced to the Clarisonic 'world', filled with different models and expensive brush options. As tempting as it was, I just couldn't bring myself to spend over $150 on a facial brush, no matter how cute the colors were. I've been looking for a cheaper option and these are a few that I'm considering. Do you guys have any of these or any other suggestions? Is the Clarisonic worth its money?

Spring Style: Jellies
With shoes always being my favorite part of any outfit, I remember being so excited to put these on back when I was three or four years old, so its great that they came back into fashion again years later. Do you guys have any childhood favorites that are making their way back around?
