Okay, so I know I just posted a blogazine yesterday but this was bothering me while I was doing my morning swim... (I know it sounds silly but I DO think about clothes while swimming... there's not much else!) So, there are a pair of jeans I want from Abercrombie right now and they are I think $128. I can afford them when I get my paycheck from my job. I told my dad about wanting them and he thought I was ridiculous! He said "I could get ten pairs of jeans at Walmart for that price!" and that got me thinking: How much are you guys willing to spend on jeans? I know a lot of higher end brands can be up to $400 and I personally wouldn't spend half a thousand dollars on jeans! I would probably spend up to $150 or $200 on them, and that's only because I have a love for Abercrombie jeans (for some reason they seem to be the only ones that fit my body just right.)
SO, what is your favorite brand of jeans and why?
How much are you willing to spend on a pair of jeans?
Bonus question: How much do you spend on other items of clothing?

So, I <big>finally</big> got around to taking a picture of my new booties. And here they are!
They have a 3" heel, and are from ALDO. They come in black and grey but with the black one the heel is black also so you can't really see the strap around the heel. I can't wait to wear them, they are so versatile.
Tell me what you think!
PIC 3: Showing that they can be worn down or up to tuck jeans in.
Also, sorry for the crappy picture location, nowhere was bright enough except my dresser to take the pics and that is quite dirty.

Hey everyone!
I just thought I'd made a quick blog post about the color red!
The other day I went into my local American Apparel and tried on a convertible dress, the A-Line one and decided to get that in a green color. When I was coming out of the dressing room my mother suggested I try on a red pencil dress. Me, being body-concious was definetly skeptical... red AND tight-fitting? Well, as it turns out I absolutely LOVE it! I am amazed at the way red looks on me!
So now I am on the hunt for more red clothing! If you ever find something red you think I might like definetly send it to me and I'll check it out for sure!
What do you think of red clothing? Would you wear such a daring color everyday? Let me know!

Hey everyone! So I was thinking the other day, I know people on Kaboodle by what they put on their lists and their personal descriptions, but do I REALLY know them? Now I have decided that I need to let people know a bit more of the real me! I created this Kaboodle quiz just for fun, and I encourage everyone else to fill it out, post it in their blogs and send me a request to view it! Hope this is fun for everyone :D
Personals
How tall are you?
5"8 and a bit. I wouldn't say i'm 5"8, thats too short, and 5"9 is too tall!
What is your shoe size?
I used to think it was 10, but I can wear 9.5's and 11's sometimes! I guess it depends on the brand, but usually 9.5
What color is your hair?
Naturally, dirty blonde. Right now it is more of a lightened blonde.
What is your ethnicity?
Caucasian.
What country do you live in?
Canada! There doesn't seem to be many Canadian Kaboodlers on here!
Styles
What is your favorite online shopping website?
That is a tough question! I like all sorts of websites, I'm going to have to say Kaboodle, because you get too see everything from websites you might not even have known about before!
What would you describe your style as?
I'm not exactly prep, but I like preppy styles. I am a mix of everything I guess. If I like the way it looks I will probably wear it!
What is your favorite shoe style?
Well, I love heels but since I am tall I don't wear then often. They make me usually around 6ft tall! I do a lot of sports so Nike's and Adidas's make their way into my collection quite frequently... and of course everyone needs a good pair of flats.
Lists
Which list would you say you add to the most?
My "Tops" list gets TONS of attention! I am a tops person I guess haha.
Which list is your personal favorite?
I like my tops list, and my "For the home" list. But I love all of my lists!
What is your one pet peeve in lists?
Well, not that I don't occasionally do this but when lists are very unorganized it bothers me so much! I like having sections so things are easy to find... but like if you just have one list named "Fashion" with 1000 items on it... it makes my computer run slow and it is really hard to sift through!
What do you always make sure to do with your lists?
Organize. Definetly.
Favorites
What is your favorite food?
Pasta. I am a carb maniac!
What is your favorite drink?
Iced tea, or milk. Skim milk.
What is your favorite color?
Purple. Any shade. I love it :D
What is your favorite dessert?
Anything chocolatey? I love pretty much every dessert there is except pies and cheesecake.
5 Random Facts
1. I am probably younger than you think I am! ;)
2. I love going to tropical places, and I am actually going to live in the Dominican Republic this winter.
3. I love basketball, if you follow me on Twitter you will probably already know that I watch every game, and I have specific teams I love. *coughcoughclevelandcavalierscoughcough*
4. I text A LOT. I pretty much always have my phone with me. It is a keybo, with a full keyboard and I just love it.
5. I listen to a Smörgåsbord of music. Literally, I listen to everything!

Hey everyone. I usually do a post about products or seasons or something else interesting but there is an issue that has been bothering me lately and I just thought I should share some thoughts/opinions with you! Let me know what you think in the comment box.
So Kaboodle is a great thing. As is the internet. It lets you share your personal styles and opinions, and view other people's styles. But like the internet, Kaboodle has some downfalls. Kaboodle gives you the freedom of commenting on any item, blog post, style board or list as you please and some people feel the need to abuse this. There is absoluely no need to disrespect a person with complete disregard to the person's feelings or how this makes you look. Acting stuck-up or rude makes you come off as a person I personally would not want to have as a friend. If you don't like an item someone has added, then politely say that it isn't your style, or don't even comment at all! Never insult someone. Never fight with someone over silly little things. It is childlike and very disrespectful.
Another subject is Kaboodle's range of freedom allowed for use. You are free to add any item from any website to any list you want. Unless Kaboodle gets notified about something innapropriate it is on there for the world to see. And the world consists of young children! So many kids are on the internet these days, and to put something that should so ovbiously not be on Kaboodle, on there does NOT make sense to me. Keep those things private, or at least within reason. (Lingerie seems fine to me)
Basically what I am trying to say is that on Kaboodle, and on the internet everyone should respect others and think about who could be seeing what you put on here. Just take consideration before you act.
Thanks for listening to me rant guys! ♥

You know when you see those amazing looking products at sephora, mac or even online and you just go "OOOOOO"? SO gorgeous right?
The problem with them is number one, they are almost alway expensive (the first guerlain one is I think 65 and the dior one is about 55?) that it would be hard to buy them in the first place, and number two they are so pretty I wouldn't want to use them!
I could imagine using the bobbi brown one, but the guerlain might be a bit harder, wouldn't want to get rid of the beautiful design... but the dior one! Oh my good gosh! Its like an art mosaic! I would want to use it, but i wouldn't want to ruin it! And knowing me, I would drop it and crack it or something silly like that. Seeing as I broke two of my MAC pressed powders, it wouldn't surprise me.
So, I know that rant kinda didn't have a point, but I just thought I would share my opinions on all this.
See you later! xox
