For the first time this summer, the girls are actually both in camp at the same time. So, I am enjoying having a few hours each day for a little grown-up time all to myself - working out at the gym, meeting friends for coffee, and SHOPPING! If truth be told, sometimes I like nothing better than to spend an hour or two strolling around the mall all by myself. I can actually take the time to try things on, I don't have to stop every 20 minutes to get someone a soft pretzel or Dippin' Dots, and I can leisurely look around at all my favorite shops. Forever 21 is one of my guilty pleasures. It's fun, cheap, and, yes, maybe a little too young for me. :-) But I love it nonetheless. Especially the jewelry and accessories. I like to challenge myself to find the most expensive looking bargains - all in my favorite colors, of course. So, today, I thought I'd share some of my recent finds with you. Like this gorgeous faux-gem encrusted bracelet...
This ring is so completely fabulous - opaque aqua faceted stones and crystal rhinestones!
These pastel earrings are stunning. And under $5!
I had to get this pair of blingy earrings for Mini-mini-me - she doesn't have pierced ears yet and these are clip-ons! Perfect for her next dress-up party!
Happy Shopping!
XOXO

Yes, an hour or two alone at the mall is such a lovely guilty pleasure. Great finds and love the colors.

I like your style! A few hours by myself to browse at the mall would be heaven! Especially when finding awesome bargins like these beauties! Love all you finds : )

love your blog and your finds. One of our favorite things was shopping for vintage jewelry when my girls were little -- and it's still a love. I just read in the last couple of days that some vintage jewelry can have dangerous lead levels, so you might want to test it if you're little ones will be wearing (and possibly putting in their mouths or handling food (tea parties). Test kits are at the hardware store. I'm hoping we can seal the jewelry w/ some good acrylic sealer and possibly take care of the danger? Especially since I hope to have granddaughters with whom to share the passion.

All of those are great finds! I particularly love the ring & bracelet. Yeah for some retail therapy for mom while the kiddos are out doing fun things, too.
