Themed Presents: Beatles

For this music themed present, I chose to do the Beatles.  This was an ironic choice for me, because I hate the Beatles with a burning passion… I know, that is sacrilege to some people, but I just really hate them!  My boyfriend on the other hand, loves them, and takes every opportunity to play their music to get on my nerves!

This present wasn’t as much chosen, as the pieces just kind of fell together.  As I said in my Guide to Christmas Shopping post, I like to get my shopping done early, and when there are sales!

At one the millions of “biggest sales of the year!” at Old Navy over the Summer, I found this really cool Beatles t-shirt for super cheap.  It is so soft, and looks like a movie poster/ticket! This was around $7.

At Ross, which is another one of my favorite stores, they have a whole wall of really nice framed pictures and canvases.  I found this shadow box style picture a few months later, and when I bought it I wasn’t even thinking about the t-shirt, it just worked out!  It is set back in the frame, and the picture is made of the ridged 3D material, so it looks like the Beatles are popping out and walking across the frame! This was $5.99

The silly part of the present that I always have to include, was a Submarine Contacts case!  You know, like the Yellow Submarine? I may hate them, but I’m not completely Beatles illiterate!  This was a couple of dollars from Forever 21.

Finally, the really ironic part of this present was this CD… And there is a story behind it.  Maze and I were in his truck one day this Summer with the windows down, and he hands me a Beatles CD.  I just laid it down, because there was no way I was going to put it in!  He was like “I figured you’d act like you were going to throw it out the window or something!”  So I go to pretend like I am… and then let go… Neither of us could believe it, and he has given me heck about it since! I got this off of Amazon for $8.98


And that was the complete present!  He has really seemed to like it, and displayed the picture on his desk in his dorm.  
This could easily be done around any band, you just have to keep your eyes out!

Nadine West: Third Shipment

Another Nadine West bag!  This is such a fun little bag, and I have really looked forward to every one thus far! These are the Simple Sparkles "diamond" stud earrings.  Though these are very cute and I actually kinda wanted to keep them, I have too many pair that are too similar.  These did retail for $6.49 though, which is suuuuper reasonable. This is the Make a Wish necklace.  I wanted to like this based off of the name, but it just really isn't my style!  I don't feel like I can pull off a crown necklace/princess persona...  But anyway, this retails for $17.99, which I feel is a bit much for cheap jewelry. This is the Constance top.  It is like a baby pink chevron cami, and I wasn't into this really.  I have enough camis, and am not really into printed ones, so this just wasn't my style.  This retailed for $9.49, which isn't too bad Fianlly, we have the Zipped floral romper, and as you might have guessed it has a zipp...

Disney 2016: Day 8

1:15 p.m. Good evening girls! We have had a late morning, and are currently on our way to Disney Springs! We woke up around 9:30 and have just hung around our hotel and done some laundry since then, it's been nice not to do much! Today I am wearing a Jessica Simpson romper from Dillard's, my Sanuks, my FitBit, my new Alex and Ani Disney bracelet (!!!), my gold earrings from Maurice's, and my hair is scrunched! My dad bought me an Alex and Ani in Magic Kingdom, it says "A Dream is a Wish your Heart makes."  It is so cute, I love it! 2:30 p.m. Just finished lunch at Earl of Sandwich! I had a chipotle chicken avocado sandwich, and even though the restaurant was crazy crowded, the food was actually pretty good! 7:00 p.m. I just had a spiritual experience... Because I just tried my first ever Sprinkles Cupcake! It had toasted marshmallow frosting, and I could have eaten four more.  They were so good!! They even had a cupcake ATM outsi...

My Petal Club

A new box!  And a PERIOD subscription box at that!  I love finding new boxes to try out, especially when they are this affordable!  This box is normally $6.99 per month, but if you use the discount code "SUMMER" on mypetalclub.com , this box will be only $3.50!  And let's be honest, one box of pads/tampons is usually more expensive than that, so why not give it a try?? So this box primarily consists of just the period products with very few extras.  This isn't one of the present, feel-good kind of boxes, it just provides you with the necessary products to get through the month, at an affordable price. Step One The first thing you do on their website is choose the combination of products you will need.  Be warned, you aren't given as much of a selection if you order through Cratejoy like I did.  It worked totally fine and I still got the products I needed, but I like choice!  So I suggest going straight through their website....
