Weekend Roundup – Shopping Haul Keeps
November 24, 2014Thursday night we went to a holiday party for one of Mark’s friends. This necklace from Rocksbox has been worn on such repeat. It dresses up this black dress that I had worn to work with a blazer over it. Add some black tights, heels, this necklace and instantly you have day to night outfit change. The designer is Urban Gem. I have been searching for it on my own but looks like it is exclusive to Rocksbox? I really love it and have considered keeping it.
I then came home to the rest of my online purchases. I mean it’s like Christmas all the time right? ;-)
Hi my name is Amanda and I have a problem. It is called buying way too many shrugs but in Florida you always need one of two on handy for all the places with over zealous air conditioning. I love this one it has a bit of sparkle to it, so easy to dress up any holiday outfit. I bought it in both colors.
I also found this little beauty. Want to talk about the most perfect holiday dress! Make sure you check Forever21 every day leading up to Black Friday they have pretty sweet daily deals.
It looks so pretty with that statement necklace or jazzed up with this gold belt. I got it in an XSmall for reference it ran a tiny bit big.
A few of my favorites from my latest online haul. This is the best layering long sleeve shirt. It is soft and has a really great shape to it. Definitely grabbing a few more of these in different colors.

As usual, I love all your dresses, that red one is perfect for the holiday season and of course Valentine’s day!
I love the dollar aisle at Target too. I stock up on lil sticky notes, like you do, because they are cheap and cute and you always need em, right?!
Looks like a great weekend, hope you have a great week!

If I had that necklace from RocksBox, I’d be wearing it on repeat too! Girl, you had a massively productive weekend – isn’t that the best before a short holiday week? Now you hopefully can kick back and relax! I’m loving all your shopping finds – I need to check out those long tunics. Happy Monday! xo

hot damn girl that red lace dress looks amazing on you! love it. thats so cool about the monks, hope the next year is as full of luck as the past year for you ;)
Julia says
LOVE that red lace dress! And the shrug, so cute and cozy looking! I agree about AC in Florida, I always try to have a sweater handy, it gets ridiculously cold in some of these places!
Helene in Between says
I’m swooning over the red dress! perfection!! and the necklace. And the nails. Okay, I’m stopping now.
Kateri Von Steal says
I bow to your online shopping finds! That red dress is beautiful!
I got this killer black wool dress at Old Navy on Sunday – I’ll post a pic when I wear it. It’s going to be gorgeous with some patterned tights and heels!
I love the look of the Roux restaurant! Very neat!
Happy Monday!
Diana Mieczan says
That red dress is swoonworthy and I love your nail colour so much :) Happy Monday. xoxo
MakeMeUpMia says
Teaching 3 classes today, oh my! That restaurant looks awesome, what a neat experience! Loving your nail color too :)
Nadine Lynn says
I love both of those dresses, that necklace, the belt! So cute!!!!
I love the monks at the restaurant. How fun and special! I hope you have a fabulous week!!
Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life Blog says
How cool about those monks! I would totally go to that, too. Man, all of my BFF’s have such luck at Forever 21 and I never ever do! I’m like between a size small and a medium (because of my height) and even if I do find something cute, it never quite fits right. That red dress is amazeballs on you though. No matter, Henry would just cover me in drool and boogers the second I put something like that on, lol!
Pamela @ alittleglitter.com says
I love that red dress! Great find!
Nadia @ The View is Beautiful says
What a beautiful necklace! I keep seeing people’s items from Rocksbox and I wish so badly they shipped to Canada! I love statement jewelry but I feel like most of the time it’s a limited engagement piece if you know what I mean. Having a steady flow would be so unnecessary but awesome!
Kristina @ Medicine and Manicures says
Love all of your finds! That necklace and red holiday dress are perfect! And that gel polish looks great as well- the perfect fall color!
The Siberian American says
That necklace is so pretty! I love that red dress-so perfect for a holiday party. Looks like you had a great weekend! :)
Julie @ Just the Joy's says
Damn girl! You’ve been on a roll lately being all productive and stuff! How fun to be checking more things off for the wedding and then to go pick out bands and gifts this week! Exciting stuff! I love love love that pink lacy dress! It’s so pretty! I also love that rocksbox necklace! I would be wearing it on repeat too!
Katie Elizabeth says
My front porch looked the same way this morning with all of the packages!! Makes a Monday so much better! Loving all of your shopping pics… I feel like Forever 21 is killing it right now, I spent way too much money there on Saturday!!
Shelby / Recent Somethings says
Wow, the red dress totally looks like a Joie one I found for a steal! Nice work at F21. Want that belt now that you rocked it. Please send me burger leftovers next Friday, k? Drooling.
Erin LFF says
Thanks to linking to all those dresses! I have a zillion holiday events/parties coming up and literally NOTHING to wear to any of them so I’ve started looking! :)
Kerry @ Till Then Smile Often says

Katie @ yellowmangolife.blogspot.com says
Three barre classes, dang! I’m heading to Pilates Fusion in a bit so will definitely be thinking of you and the burn! =)
Loving all of these outfits and I’m still trying to figure out how you stay in such great shape with all of the amazing food you enjoy! xo
Caroline Fleenor says
LOVE that red dress!!! It looks killer on you!! Your new necklace would look good with it too. I have a similar one from Bauble Bar and I wear it all of the time. That nail color is fab too. I love how you went to a restaurant by the beach too. So jealous!! It snowed here today. Sigh.
Miche says
Love the purple nails! Gel is so the way to go these days!
