Birthday Bliss : My First Kate Spade Bag

Meet Jeanne my 1st Kate Spade Bag!

It's my birthdaaay! Well technically not until this Saturday Aug 2nd lol, but I couldn't wait to share my early birthday gift compliments of my lovely parents. My Jeanne Holly Street Leather Tote KS bag from nordstrom which originally retails for $428 but after having them price match the bag to match the competitive sale price of $299 listed on the Kate Spade site , and applying my employee discount (btw yes I work at Nordstrom ) it was $258. I know what you're thinking... what a steal right? Well it was! I end up with an amazing $170 dollars worth of savings and my face when I walked out the door with my new bag was priceless. Anywho I couldn't be happier to join the KS bag owners club. Thanks for reading.

Until Next Time...

Pool Side Chic: Alive Magazine Hotlist Party

My OOTN (Outfit of the Night)  

Get The Look

Black/ White Stripe Tulip Skirt:Similar Here

Tank Top: Available Here

Fboutique  Snake Skin Sandals:Available Here

Necklace From Dots: No longer Available

I knew that this was a pool side party so seating would more than likely be limited, so I wanted a comfy casual look. Its very hot & humid in Saint Louis so choosing light cotton fabrics was key for the outdoor elements. I came across the stripped high low maxi and immediately feel in love, it screamed "Pool Party Chic". After finding the skirt I built my outfit around making this skirt the star of my look. I added a plain tank, statement jewlery and some fab sandals and Wha-La! I recieved alot of complements at the party which meant alot being the only plus size blogger in attendance ;). Check out more details on the party below!

Absolutely Loved the fit of this skirt!

THE HOT LIST PARTY

(Night shot of the venue)

I was really excited to attend the Alive Mag hotlist party and it was absolutely amazing! The venue was stunning and the atmosphere consisted of great music, food and people gathering to celebrate Alive Mags Hot List Award winners compiled of small business owners from resturants,boutiques and even the hottest people in Saint Louis entertainment scene. I enjoyed mingling with amongst some of the elite business women and men of Saint Louis and spreading my the word about my Kickstarter Campaign that was featured on Alive Magazine Online . Overall it was a nice break from my everyday hustle nd bustle of finishing my last quarter of college and managing my boutique. 

Until Next Time...
