Shop, Shop, Shop...but only a little

Hi stranger :)
I guess I just want to update my blog a bit since it's been so long.
For starters, I am moving back to the East Coast! I never wrote a post about this I don't think (bad memory), but about 5-6 months ago I moved to LA. But, since I couldn't find a "real" job in this horrible economy, I am moving back home to try and save up some money. That being said, I did interview for a super secret job that, if I get, I shall announce! But, for now I am shipping back to good old Maryland. My flight is on Monday, so for now I shall say goodbye California and you're insane weather patterns!

So for other random updates...I have become obsessed with instagram and eating sweets. It's like some sort of vicious cycle where I want to make instagram posts and so I grab something sweet and cute to eat! But then I end up eating the sweets :( So basically I am becoming a giant whale of a human being and must change this ASAP! Hopefully being home will help me to control my random eating habits so I can lose about 10-15 pounds. Worse than gaining weight all over is the fact that I'm pretty sure my face is getting fat :O I have worked so hard in the past to lose the weight that I guess I'm just disappointed in myself.

But moving on to more exciting updates...I think that I went shopping for the first time (officially anyway and not involving food) in 2013! This is a great milestone for me, an emotional and generally avid shopaholic. But in preparation for attempting to be an adult and other secret projects I am truly trying my best to save money. But even though I stopped buying clothes it seems that I replaced my habit with buying food. This will change though...as I no longer work retail (I'm free!!!!!) and for now don't have a job. But positivity is the key to everything right?

Anyways...sorry for the long blabber(a mixture of sleepiness and stress), here are the very few pix of what I bought!

Cutest belt ever right?! I admittedly rarely use the belts that I buy but I just couldn't resist the sparkly bow!
It must have mystical powers. So obviously by the well placed bag, (^^) the belt is from J. Crew. To be honest, today was my last day at my mall and I was like I need to own something from there! So this is my first ever item from J. Crew. I mainly don't go there because it's expensive and the style is a bit simple for my tastes, but I found this on sale with additional 50% off so I'm now content.

           
The last thing I bought (what?! Only two things?) was this long maroon dress from Banana Republic. To begin, this store fits under the same label as J. Crew...not my price point and not my everyday style. The only reason I went in was because of their 40% off of sale sign (hate when marketing works). But honestly, I had seen this dress a few weeks ago on sale and really liked it but kinda hesitated. It's a pretty plain dress except for the color. The good thing about it is that it is pretty long and is a similar fabric to corporate suits. Sooooo if my super secret job interview works out well then I think that this would be great! It's pretty bah humbug but with a tad bit of pizzazz :) One can never go wrong with pizzazz. 

*long inhale*


I shall stop here today since I'm pretty sure that this is my longest post ever. I will as always promise to try to update more often (we'll see how it goes). Maybe I'll go get a life and then have something to report on. 
But toodles for now! 

Love.

A New Year

Happy New Year!

So although I'm about a week late, wanted to wish everyone a happy new year :)
Did anyone make any resolutions? I feel like I always make resolutions but never actually go through with them...so this year I have no official "resolutions" but still intend to make changes.

Hopefully if I don't list them out I will really do them? 

Let's hope so...

So anyway, to start off the new year properly, I will share some photos of my year so far!

Love always,

Sierra Anastasia
