Beetlejuice meets Kate Spade

So back in June I fell in love with this beyond beautiful Kate Spade bag. Just about all her stuff is feminine perfection, but it's pricey and I just don't spend more than $80 on a bag. And that's because I only have about three bags that I've paid that much for; all the rest are either given to me by my mom, thrifted (so, under $5) or just really inexpensive. But I fell hard for this one because it reminded me of one of my favorite childhood movies: Beetlejuice. (The bag handles remind me of the staircase scene. Who knows what I'm talking about?) Plus, it's one of the few KS bags that's not strictly sophisticated and...mature. I love how this one is classy and quirky because of those black & white stripes. I could literally dress this bag up or down.

I just love the box shape, that pretty bow, the polka dot interior lining, and that Beetlejuice feel! Ugh, it's the perfect bag for me!

I honestly didn't think I was going to get it, but I was relentless in my begging, and I've never been on better behavior in my life! Mikey had just finished working on a project that took up anywhere from 12 to 14 hours of his day for about a month and was paid a nice chunk of change, so I knew we had the funds to splurge a bit. (Notice how I said "we" - a perk of marriage: his money = my money.) Jump to the end of the story where he falls in love with the bag, too (after seeing it everyday for a month), and decides that if it makes me happy then I should have it. Gosh, he is a smart one, that boy. He even got me the exclusive phone case I wanted. And yes, I've been wearing the shit out of this bag. You'll see it in many, many pictures from here on out.

^Beetlejuice stache and no makeup. I just love it. Thank you to Mikey for spending your hard earned cash on a shetbag like me. 

And thank Y'ALL for reading the post of a spoiled ass brat. ;) Have a terrific Tuesday, pretty birds!

"What my baby wants, my baby gets" - I love it when he says that

My husband surprised me with some shoes today! Not just any shoes. Shoes that I've been obsessing over for weeks. They are the Jeffrey Campbell dog tapestry mary janes that ModCloth has adorably named the "Woofing It Heel". There are lots of different tapestry prints in JC shoes right now, but my faves are the kitty and dog ones. I really, really wanted these particular shoes in the kitty print, but ModCloth was only offering them in the dog print, and hey, I have two crazy pups of my own, so of course I'll take these! I just don't want my favorite little fat cat to be jealous. Danzig, you know you're my whole heart.

This is my 6th pair of Jeffrey Campbell's and I just love the new box these came in! His shoe boxes, like all his shoes, are so unique. 

CLICK to see the shoe deets all up in yo' face!

Look at all those puppies! Lassie and friends.

feels like walking in flats, honest to God!

So, after I screamed and pranced around the apartment in my new heels, I sat on Mikey's lap (mall-Santa style) and asked him why he bought me the shoes. He said, "Well, because you just wouldn't shut up about them; I knew you really wanted them." Awww. So what did I learn here? Baby will continue to get what Baby wants as long as the trap keeps yappin' away when something pretty is for sale.

Umm...check out our dog Jaxon. He's got contortionist tendencies. Although, this isn't even one of his awkward resting positions. 

Before I go, my friend Ashley not only has an awesome collection of JC heels, but she owns the cat tapestry damsel shoes, and they're super cool! Which by the way, if you're a fellow shoe addict like me, I'd recommend staying on top of Ashley's blog, as she posts shoe reviews, and lets us know of all the neat, new shoes out there almost every day, where to buy them and she shares discount codes if she finds them! I personally go to her blog (daily) to get my shoe fix and see if there's anything I should take advantage of, because she always knows where the sales are. 
Oh! I owe y'all a tour of my new closet. I tried doing a video tour of it last night, so as not to flood your internets with a bazillion pictures, but I kept sounding like a moron and re-filming, therefore making myself sicker than a dog when I played the clips back...I get bad motion sickness. I'll probably have Mikey record me tomorrow and have a post for y'all Sunday/Monday-ish. 
Have a great Saturday night, lovelies!
