TBF SHOPS: Black and Gold Chain Necklace

How perfect is this necklace? 

For someone who has a larger chest, it's important to avoid long necklaces that end up hiding in my cleavage. This necklace, that is not only shorter and perfectly wraps around my neck, beautifully shows off my collar bones and has several strands that make it super chunky, leaving my neck to appear smaller than it actually is. 

I also adore that this isn't another gold chain necklace which, honestly, can make people look like Mr. T at times. The black chains intertwined add a chicness to the necklace making it perfect to add to a plain white T-shirt or a day/office dress. 

The best part (something you can always expect for all my purchases) is that this was on sale at the clearance section and hardly cost a thing. Sales like this one should be illegal. 

Not revealing the store's name,

TBF SHOPS: ZARA Horsehair Leopard Print Purse Bag

Hmm, it was the last one and it was on sale for close to 40% OFF. It's made of real leather and has a leopard print made of horsehair. It has an adjustable shoulder strap and several compartments, big enough to fit even a few diapers and wet wipes. I'd be a complete idiot to pass up buying this ZARA leopard print purse slash bag, right? AND, just look at how perfect it looks with the fox tail I bought recently. 

On a sidenote: I much prefer this type of leopard print than the realistic looking kind. This version feels more youthful, almost like an animated cartoon version while the other pattern looks like it was made for an older woman's fur coat. Another reason this bag was just meant to come home with me. 

Hoping this is the last leopard bag purchase this year,

TBF SHOPS: Gray and Caramel Fox Tail Keychain

I have this rule that I try to live by when shopping which is to wait 2 weeks before buying something which either results in the item being on sale or being sold out. Either way, I am able to avoid impulsive shopping and at least save some money (whether it's a little or the whole amount). There is also the possibility that I may forget about the item or lose interest during the 2 week period but that only proves that I didn't need the item in the first place. 

Well, now that I've been able to explain this rule, I can confidently talk about how I saw these at a store in Richmond months ago and turned my back to them (mostly because the hubby couldn't appreciate why I would want to attach a tail to my bags and discouraged me from making such a silly purchase). Months later, I saw them again for 50% at a store and knew I couldn't make the same mistake twice. My brother tried to talk me out of it this time or to at least buy one but unfortunately for him, my will was too strong. 

So here we are, one in gray and the other in a caramel color to go with mostly any color bag I've got. I want one in black and a vampy red color too but luckily for the hubby and my brother, they didn't have those in stock at the store :p

At least I didn't get a rabbit's foot - those are just gross,

TBF SHOPS: Gold CASIO Watch (FINALLY!)

Images taken from StyleScrapbook.com

I first saw this exact watch in a VIVI Japanese Magazine many many years ago and set myself on a search. It didn't become serious until I saw Andy Torres from Style Scrapbook wearing it, then I became fixated and bought it in black, pink and taupe because gold was never available. 

I made a trip to American Apparel one day and saw a silver version and was tempted to buy it as it was THE closest thing to the gold one being made of metal at least, but as soon as I turned around and saw the watch display, there she was...

I didn't know how much it cost but I couldn't turn my back on this orphan. It turns out that these are no longer being made and that only a few are being sold around the world, which makes it that much more special.

Seriously hoping the salesman wasn't BS'ing me!!!

TBF SHOPS: My NEW Black and Maroon Wool Hats

All images above taken from http://carolinesmode.com/stockholmstreetstyle/

I've always wanted to wear this type of hat but my hair has either not been long enough or the layers just didn't right but I'm finally comfortable with my hair style so I purchased these two wool hats for super cheap. I found the maroon one at the clearance section for $4.99!!! What a major steal, considering wool hats sell for approximately $60 at American Apparel! I am a little obsessed with these beauties and am on the search for ones in navy blue, beige/brown/camel and gray. I know it might not be appropriate for spring and summer but it's never too early to prepare for the fall :)

Excited for my hair to get greasy,

Justine
