MALL HAUL: Forever21 & Journey's!

Hello again my lovies. As I said in my last review, I'd be back with a Mall Hall post! My first haul of the new year. I'm starting to buy more clothing items now since I had this fear I'd always just wear what I had. There's so many cute clothing options for bigger women like me that there is NO EXCUSE for me not to be able to dress as cutely as I want to be. I think one of my New Year's Resolutions is to limit my spending but buy an equal amount of clothing as I do cosmetics, so that I'm able to have enough of each.

Let's start with what I purchased at Forever21.

I have been searching high & low for a well fitting blazer & I just so happened to be searching around the coats & found one right for me. I'm super happy about this since I've been looking for this exact style of blazer for years.

The inside is a faux silk material.

Also with "pockets" for decoration. They don't open.

This blazer retails for $32.80 & was the most expensive item I purchased at Forever21.

I picked up this super comfy mustache sweater. I'm not a huge fan of mustaches, but I like how simple & cute it looks as well as how comfy the material of the sweater is. Soft!

Anyone who loves mustaches would love this.

This sweater retails for $22.80 but was on sale for $15.99.

Next, I bought this pretty blue & black knit long sleeved top. I was hoping to find another color, but this was all they had. I might have loved this better in white or creme, but I still love the overall look of this top.

The detail is super pretty. I'm not sure how to describe it.

This knit top retails for $22.80 but was on sale for $15.99.

Next, I decided on getting this Ivory Knit Top after deciding that I could wear a strapless bra with it & it would look really cute with some jeggings.

I was wary of the lace detailed top, but I will try my best to style it accordingly.

This knit top retails for $19.80 but was on sale for $13.99.

The last shirt I bought from Forever21 is a Logo Top. It looks a bit more tough than what I would normally go for, but I love how comfortable I feel while wearing this.

The logo is pretty cool.

The shoulders have this sort of faux suede material that almost makes it look like leather.

This top retails for $19.80 but was on sale for $13.99.

This next item I almost bought one time before when I thought they were on sale, but came back when I got an email that all booties & boots are 50% off.

Aren't these adorable! I'm so happy I decided to bring these to the checkout counter for a second opinion on if they were on sale, bc one sales associate told me they weren't listed under "bootie" so thank you to the awesome cashier/worker/sales associate that checked me out that day. I love these so much. 

These are taupe wedges with faux sheep fur around the flipped top of the shoes. Super comfy as well.

A closeup of the faux fur. It's quite soft.

These wedges retail for $36.80 but I got them on sale for about $18 and some change.

Really successful haul from there.

Next & last item I bought was from Journey's.

Leopard print Vans! I needed a better work shoe than flip flops & decided I needed a pair of lace up shoes period. I was worried these would make me look like I had clown feet, but they don't at all. These are very comfortable & I look forward to wearing these.

A closeup of the shoes detailing. I love leopard print.

These Vans retail for $54.99.

I also bought some white no-show socks to wear with these.

Well, that's pretty much it for my first Mall Haul of 2014. I love everything I bought so much.

Here's to the start of a wonderful 2014!

Hope you've enjoyed this Mall Haul.

Have a wonderful day! <3

MALL HAUL: Victoria's Secret & Forever21!

Hello my lovies. I've been slacking on blogging once again. I'm trying to get myself back up into it. I guess since it's the holiday season, I've been more focused on who I have to buy for & what I need to buy that I've been way too overwhelmed to really blog. I only posted one blog last week! ><

But thankfully, I've gotten just about everyone out of the way & can finally breathe, so I have plenty of reviews & posts to write up.

Yesterday, I went out & did a little self shopping since I'm almost done buying for everyone.

 Let's start with what I bought from Victoria's Secret!

[ The top photo is without flash & is why the shirt looks more pink than white. ]

First, I decided to buy this really pretty PINK long sleeved tee that has rhinestone accents on both arms. I love the design as well as the pretty holographic PINK logo on the front of the shirt. This retails for $39.50, which really is quite expensive, but I couldn't find another long sleeved tee to go with the 2 for $40 deal they had going on.

This is the PINK Warm & Cozy body spray that I've been looking for in the travel size for awhile. I can't always use body sprays & purfumes since my mother is sensitive to scents, so this should last me quite awhile. It has a very warm, fruity scent. This retails for $8.00. Affordable for a travel spray seeing as the bigger size is $18.00.

I also purchased three pair of undies. They are currently having a 50% off all panties promo, so, I decided to just get three. All three panties retail for $9.50 but are on sale for $4.75.

A mint, mesh pantie with lace trim as well as silver polka dots.

A basic cotton hipster, pink with dots of yellow, orange & pink as well as a holographic logo that says "Love Pink".

A pretty pink, coral, orange, yellow, & black floral & chevron cheeky pantie. 

Altogether, a very small purchase from Victoria's Secret. I'd like to start shopping there more, but my wallet doesn't quite agree. 

Next, I stopped at Forever21's plus size section to see what I could find since I'm in need of more tops as well as bottoms. I picked up three items.

I needed a bigger makeup bag to carry all the items I have in my purse. It's quite roomy & fits all of my travel essentials. I'll post a "What's in My Makeup Bag" shortly. I believe this makeup pouch retailed for $6.50.

I picked up this really comfy cardigan in a baby pink color. I definitely would like to incorporate more whites & pinks into my wardrobe for those days I want to have a softer look. This retailed for $19.80 but was on sale for $15.00. 

The last item I purchased is this Street-Chic Mickey Mouse Sweatshirt that I'd been eyeing up on the Forever21+ section of the website. Of course, since my nickname is Mickee, I had to get this. It's super soft! This retails for $24.80.

So that's all for my mall haul. It wasn't a lot, but just enough to make me happy. I still have to get a few more gifts, especially for little man, but I'm almost done, so it won't be too hard. He's easy to buy for! ^^

Hope you've enjoyed this little haul! <3
