My November Purchases

11/29/12 | monthly purchases, My Purchases, New York City, shopping, Soho, Target, Urban Decay

November purchases for me were CRAZY, partially due to Black Friday and partially becaue I have a tendency to shop for myself while buying presents for others. Last month, for the first time, I photographed every item I purchased in the month of October and did a post about it (here).  It was a really fun exercise so I decided to do it again for November. 

This month I will start off with one of the smaller purchase in terms of dollar amount but one of the most exciting, business cards! I was getting tired of scribbling the url of my blog on a napkin at dinner or spastically texting it to someone in the middle of a conversation so I decided to go ahead and order 250 Premium Business Cards from Vista Print. I could not be happier with how they turned and they really symbolize how fast my blog is growing!  


Now in terms of regular fashion I did stock up on quite a few great finds in the month of November!

Leopard Chiffon Dress from Necessary Clothing (which I wore here)
Merona Women’s Ruffle Neck Dress in Haywire Purple (here)
Bird Print Blouse from Everly
 Chiffon Striped Scalloped Top from Naked Zebra
Royal Blue Chiffon Blouse from OVI
Mossimo Sequin Headphone Earmuffs in Turquoise (here)

 

 

And finally, my Urban Decay beauty loot from  Haute Look. It arrived quite a while after I ordered it due to Hurricane Sandy but I will never complain about  Urban Decay goodies!   The larger box is their Urban Bride Kit which contains   Razor Sharp Ultra-Definition Finishing Powder,  Eyeshadow Primer Potion, travel size Supercurl Curling Mascara, travel size Junkie Lip Gloss in Midnight Cowboy, All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray and the travel size Marshmallow Sparkling Lickable Body Powder. I also got the Urban Lash Kit and Vintage Eyeshadow in Mary Jane and Purple Haze. 

Can you believe I got everything in the photo above for $35?!?

Did you buy anything fun in November?
