I Heart My.....

Hey Ladies!  A friend of mine suggested that I start a post about items that you own and love!  I will kick it off.

I Heart My.... Brown Leather Laura Brandon Sandals!



I have had these for about 4 or 5 years!  I still love them and get compliments all the time.  I can wear them with skinny jeans or dresses.  These are my go to shoes when I want a little bit of jazzy but comfort.


This concealer covers everything.  I look like the Crypt Keeper in the morning.   This helps me to look alive after not sleeping all night.  If you are looking for a lot of coverage, this is it!  Borderline spackle!

What do you Heart? 

If you have a blog and are interested in sharing what you Heart on Baby Shopaholic just email me (thebabyshopaholic at gmail) or the email link on the right.  I would like this to be a weekly post.  It can be clothing, accessories, beauty product,  or baby item, wine etc...

I look forward to you guys sharing what you love!

Pretty Girls Rock!

Last Thursday I attended the 1st Annual Pretty Girls Rock event benefiting The Love Offering Foundation that helps to raise awareness of health and wellness for those affected by debilitating illness such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc.




Event was great!  Can't wait to attend next year!

The dress is Rachel Roy.  This dress is really drappy, you have to see it in person to appreciate it!  I am carrying a vintage Gucci clutch.

Actually not sure of the brand of the shoes but LOVE them! Got them from my "Shoe Guy" only $30!  I know you guys are thinking, this girl is always rockin some cheap shoes!  I sure do!  I have no problem rocking $25 shoes with a thousand dollar handbag : )  I like funky shoes and different styles, so I don't like to spend a ton of $$$ on shoes I may only wear a few times.  I TRY my best to pick the ones that don't look too cheap....

Don't get me wrong I still want my Louboutins! and I do have some nice ones that I will keep forever.

What is your take on buying shoes?  Do you buy shoes to last or Do you buy to last one night???

Dazzle!

I bought a discount coupon for Shoe Dazzle.  You know, the Shoe Club that Kim Kardashian is supposed to be one of the stylist or buyer or something like that. 

Well I paid $19 for the coupon and it gets you one pair of shoes that are normally $40.  So I signed up and this is what I got.
I know they are extremly funky but for $19 if figure I would get something FUN! I must say the quality is pretty good in person. Can't wait to ROCK!
 
Someone tried to get their feet in the picture.  I almost stepped on those cute little piggies.

As a member and every month they email your shoe showroom and then you choose a shoe for that month for $40 or you can skip a month and not get billed. I did not intend on getting another pair but I missed the cutoff date to skip a month or cancel, so I got these...


 



Check out Shoe Dazzle!

Have you tried any of these clubs out there?

The Easter Bunny Showed Up with a Doll!

The Easter Bunny paid Peyton a visit.


I put together a small Easter Basket for Peyton. I don't want to take away the real meaning of Easter but I figure now she doesn't know the difference.



She got a Purse, a few Eggs, some Books, a Hello Kitty Bunny and a Doll.

This Doll is my favorite! Her Name is Flora, which is my mother's name!   I wanted Peyton to have a doll that looked like her so  I ordered it from Goodbye Blue Monday.  I saw this doll on a blog a while back. They can customize any doll, changing the hair and skin color.  The quality is amazing!  I would love for Peyton to keep this forever.  Goodbye Blue Monday is offering 10% OFF to my readers!  Just enter BABYSHOPAHOLIC when you check out.

I made my own Easter Basket buy getting a few pairs of shoes : ).  Did you guys make baskets?

Peyton's 1st Easter Style

Happy Easter Everyone!  Peyton kicked of her first Easter in Style!


Peyton is posing with my sister that is in town before we headed to Church.



Peyton won this beautiful dress on a giveaway from Baby Blackbird.  I made the flower in her hair.  


The shoes were $9.99 from Payless purchased by my sister. Too cute!


 
Peyton got this purse in her Easter Basket.  It was $6 from Payless.


This is what's in Peyton's Bag!

What did you do to Celebrate Easter Sunday?

Earth Day Fab!

Happy Earth Day!  Here are some things to get and do to support the cause and also look Fab while doing so!

Rachel Ray Shopping Tote, This little pouch hold 4 shopping bags.  Just break it out in the store!

Have your baby spread the word with this onesie.


 Make sure you use a water bottle instead of plastic bottle of water.

Reusable baggies!  I have not tried these but thinking about it cuz they are so cute!

You can recycle ANY makeup container at Origins!  I think MAC still lets you bring in your empty MAC containers to get a free lipstick.

Clean your closets out after each season and donate your clothes!  If you have any Gucci or Louis I can take those donations : )

What do you do to help save our Planet?

Easter Sunday!!!

As a little girl, getting dressed up for Easter is like hitting the Red Carpet!  I could not wait to get up on Easter Sunday to get sharp!!!  Then it was Showtime when you get up in front of the church and do the Easter Speech! Do they still do that???  I want Peyton to get excited for Easter like I did!

Not sure what Peyton is going to wear this Sunday but I am digging these dresses!

This one is a little casual but still fly.  This is from Neimans for $77

This one is from Neimans also, beautiful!

Nordstoms has a ton of cute ones at reasonable prices.

$36 Info

I was planning on her wearing this dress that Mister bought. 

I just need to get her some shoes.  But I feel its a little plain!  I love the floral dresses!

I am also making a basket for her.  What Easter Tradition do you have? 

Target Come Up!

Check out my fabulous finds at Target!

Cherokee shirt $2!

I think this is Carters, and got it for $1.75!!!  I thought this would be a cute everyday outfit for P during the summer.

I stocked up on the Circo socks for the fall, they were 50 cents each!  I grabbed some last week too, they were 70 cents then. 

What super deals did you find recently?

Haute Mama Lip Gloss!

I am now addicted to Haute Look!

I was keeping up with my emails and saw they were selling Rockin Republic cosmetics.  I purchased a lip gloss and blush from Neimans a while back and I love them (after Chanel glossimers).  I don't think they are selling in department stores any more but saw they were going to be on Haute Look. 

I got all 3 for $20!  The retail price is $23 each!  Score! 

I think these are fun shades for the summer!  What is you favorite Lip Gloss?

Swimwear Score and other Finds!

I got up super early on Saturday because Old Navy was having 60% off all swimwear!  It was only from 7-11am!  My crazy butt was there at 7:05!  Here is what I got for Peyton.


Each suit was $4.80!  Can't beat that!  I also grabbed me two suits, a one piece and a bikini!!!  The were about $12 each.  I am still on the fence about them.  They can be used as a back up, so I am still in search for a good Mama suit!

We also found some other great deals last week that I didn't tell you about.

Got these Koala Kids shorts at Babies R Us, they were $6 org. $8!


Got this cute double breasted sweater jacket at the Seed Factory in Atlanta (love this place).  It is Zutano and got it for $15, normally about $50.

Did you hit up the Old Navy Sale?
