Shopping Sunday! ♥



Good morning. =]

I woke up with a strong urge to shop myself a little happy. Might go pick up these boots I've been wanting. Hopefully. But for now I thought I could share some more of my finds with you. Since I've decided to do these kinds of posts --I also decided to still share my haul posts as they come-- I've been trying to figure out some kind of layout, or format for the posts. Things I could do each time or something.. I guess I will just keep trying different things until I find one I like.

For this post I think I will put up one or two items from each category I have saved, some sites that I like, & I will tell you about any sales I know of on sites that I like. So lets start!

As always, all ♥'s are links.


Sites I love!

Well for this first post I guess I can share my go to sites. These are all sites I check constantly & shop at the most. In no special order at all.
  1. Victoria's Secret  - This place is my ADDICTION. I check the site daily, I use my Angel card all the time, I cannot go in the store without money to shop.. it hurts. Definitely my favorite store hands down.
  2. Forever 21  - I love F21 for their jewelry. I love bs jewelry. Cheap, fun, cute, basic stuff that I can have fun mixing together. Plus they are all so affordable. A lot of there stuff is only $1.50. In store & online. I check this site twice weekly. I also love their shoes & bags. I've only gotten one pair of shoes from them to date but I love them. I don't like that they don't come with a shoe box though. Bummer. Still LOVE LOVE LOVE F21!
  3. Charlotte Russe  - I check here often for shoes, bags & jewelry. I could spend so much money here its  ridiculous. LOVE this store.
  4. American Eagle  - I wasn't a fan of this store, until I got a credit card with them. Then they started carrying gorgeous Deux Lux handbags & I fell in love.
  5. Mandees  - Mandees is a hit or miss kinda place. I can usually find something I want but there are times when you score big. I've gotten gorgeous Steve Madden things from here for super cheap. A big handbag --now one of my favorites-- for just under $20, a clutch for around the same price, & my 2 favorite pairs of heels for around $45-$50 each. Huge sales! Right now the site is having a sale on whatever is left, basically things they need to get rid of for their new stuff to come in. But I check in often! 
  6. Iron Fist  - I ADORE this brand. They are completely vegan which is awesome for me, & their style is different from most so you wear their stuff & are sure to stand out. I currently only own 1 pair of shoes from them but that will change ASAP. Love love LOVE them!
  7. Etsy  - I could spend hours on here. If you don't know about Etsy you need to go look! Its is a site featuring all things Handmade & Vintage. They also sell supplies. I go here for the Handmade things. They are so beautiful & unique. I wish I had talent to make some of the things I find here. I adore this site. I've only gotten one thing from here, but I didn't even get it through here, I got it through Fred Flare , which got it from Etsy. I have to share that with you one day. Cutest thing. So anyway I adore Etsy with a PASSION.
  8. Fred Flare  - Fred Flare has some unique & amazing things. I love them. Have purchased from once or twice. Adore adore adore! If you like things that aren't so mainstream & average, check out Fred Flare!
All of these sites I've listed are currently having a sale except Etsy --Where all items are priced at each sellers liking-- & Fred Flare & Iron Fist, but FF & IF does have some wonderful things in their normal sale section. So go check them all out!!



Now to help you understand what I mean when I say I save pictures of items I am going to show you a few screen shots of my folders.


Okay this is the main Shop folder with sub-folders for different categories. --I like to organize--. You can see there are a lot of categories. The "I WANT IT" folder is for things I am obsessed with & will try to buy ASAP. All the items that aren't in a folder are for when I don't want to jump around folder to folder to save everything so I save it all in the main shop folder & then put it where it belongs later.


And this is what the Shoes folder looks like. This must be the most filled one, but I am not sure. You can see this folder also has a sub-folder titled "Pretty, But NO". This folder is for things that are made with genuine leather or suede & I refuse to buy, but they are still gorgeous. I dream of one day having a private designer to make anything I want for me, who will make these things with all Vegan materials. =] So you can also see the format of which I save all items so they are very organized. There are sometimes doubles if I find an item in different places, so that if one sells out I can check the other. You can also see the 3rd shoe isn't labeled right,  probably found it somewhere other than a shopping site. 

Okay so now lets get to the items that are in all these folders.

Accessories

So since this is such a long post this might become a Sunday theme. Shopping Sundays. =]

Until next time,
Lovely Shopdict

Hi Sally! I think that's a great idea. I was also going to do something like it, but I'm pressed for time as it is.

Love your choices. Have a great day!
