fabulous finds and a lilly pulitzer giveaway

good evening!

today i stopped over at LANDS' END and saw this beautiful KENZIE linen tote! the leather is so soft and it comes in RED and NAVY. of course, i'm partial to the one in NAVY.

seeing that everything at LANDS' END seems to go on sale, i decided to hold of buying this tote for $180.00. i believe it is def. worth $180.00, but why when it's eventually going to go on sale! LOL!

i did purchase this adorable bunny painting from a local artist. isn't it beautiful! love at first sight, LOL!

so of course i stopped over at HOBBY LOBBY to see about getting the bunny framed. HOBBY LOBBY has always been an inexpensive place to have framing done.

however, this painting ended up costing me $128.00, before tax! that's including the 50% sale on framing too! i was thinking it was going to cost me about 3/4 that, boy was i wrong! LOL!

oh well, it will look nice when it's done. i previously had another smaller bunny painting framed the same way.

the painting below will give you an idea what it will look like when it's all done. can't wait to hang it in my new kitchen! {if we ever close, lol!! short sales suck, still waiting on the bank to approve our offer. so much for thinking it was a done deal! ugh!!!}

oh well, don't forget to enter my LILLY PULITZER GIVEAWAY!

enough is enough, right?!?!

okay, the next time i decide to venture over to the LOUIS VUITTON website, i need to remind myself of this photo:

yup, i think i'm set with my LV collection for now! ha! ha!

this isn't a large collection by any means, but for me, it's definitely enough! lol! this doesn't even include my collection of GUCCI, Tod's, Burberry and Prada purses. ha! ha!

oh well, hope your week is going well! just a few more weeks until we leave for florida! i have to say this vacation can't come soon enough! i am so ready to get away!

tomorrow we are having the "inspection" on the place we are hoping to purchase. still waiting on the bank, since it is a short sale! hopefully, the seller's bank agrees to our offer and we can proceed with closing! our attorney said we probably won't be closing until april, most likely may. argh!!!! so not a fan of short sales, lol!

got it! plus, heads up for all you HUNTER boot fans...

happy valentine's day!

finally, excited to finally see what JO MALONE scent my husband bought me for valentine's day!

yeah, i love WILD BLUEBELL ...not sure if he picked it out himself or if he asked for assistance? ha! ha! ha!

what is your favorite JO MALONE scent and/or favorite scent combo?

oh well, hope your significant other treated you to something special! 

 i read on the CHICAGO TRIBUNE this afternoon, that the men spend on average something like $169 on valentine's day. interesting, huh!

oh well, i think i know what color my next pair of HUNTER BOOTS is going to be! what color?

well, actually i won't know until thursday! why?

GILT GROUPE is hosting a HUNTER BOOT sale event starting thursday, 2/16!

yeah, finally! last time i scored a pair on NAVY for a stellar price! i'm hoping for the same thing this time around!

not a member of GILT GROUPE? no problem, click HERE for your personal invite! sales are PRIVATE! membership is FREE!

check it out! after all, you can't have too many pairs of HUNTER BOOTS! right, LOL!

remember to get there early, to good stuff sells fast!

favorite 5...

so excited, my husband purchased my valentine's gift:

too bad, i have to wait until tomorrow to see what JO MALONE perfume he bought me!

hmmmmmm....

CALDREA love their products! plum nutmeg is definitely one my favorite scents!

my second favorite is water lilly. this scent is heavenly and when it you can actually smell the scent! i hate it when i spend good money on candles, only to find out when they are lit that i can't smell anything, argh!!!

i'm also loving my new kindle fire, which i bought a few weeks ago, i thought it would be perfect to take on vacation.

can't wait to take it with me when i go to florida next month!

finally, i am so excited to finally start painting and decorating!

we put an offer on a 4th place this past week and our offer was accepted! yeah!!!! now we just need to have the attorney review the contract, as the property is a short sale. once he's reviewed the contract, we will schedule the inspection. hopefully it all works out!
