I did a little shopping today to use some coupons that were about to expire and also to find another hat for our trip that will cover my ears.
EVERYTHING at Charlotte Russe was 50% off today! I couldn’t believe it! I got this faux-fur collar sweater vest which is cute on its own or worn under a coat—you can let the fur part stick out which embellishes your coat nicely.
I also got this cute hat there:
I picked up these 3 Essie polishes at ULTA today using my $5 off coupon. They were buy two, get one free.
I got these leg warmers for my boots…I forget the name of the store…it’s one of those stores I don’t usually shop at…I want to say the name starts with an “S” it’s kind of similar to the A’Gaci store, but much smaller. I didn’t like the inserts they make for the Hunter boots, so I think these will be perfect because they don’t stick out of the Hunters.
At Victoria’s Secret, I picked up a new bra (dream angels push-up) and a little nightie (not shown). I also got this superlong long-sleeved PINK henley to use as a layering piece on our trip. I got a large because they fit smaller and I wanted that extra length. It’s definitely a leggings-friendly top. I had three $10 off coupons so I used one on each item I bought.
…and that’s all for today 🙂 I also bought a camera case today…which I didn’t post because I don’t consider it a fashion item. Camera cases are honestly so ugly. I just hate them all. I wish they made cute camera cases that don’t cost $200. I searched far and wide online but ended up getting a simple black one at Best Buy. They have some nice bags online but considering I’m not a pro, I don’t really need a $200 camera bag.
I feel pretty good about packing next weekend. I’m probably going to start on Saturday or Sunday so I don’t have to stress about it during the week. I will definitely devote an entire post to what I packed and how I packed it. I absolutely love packing and consider myself to be an expert packer!
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Veronika.
FYI: Etsy has some cute camera bags.
sally—i checked etsy.com but I mostly found like floral ones…I just wanted something cute but not too kid-like either. I don't even mind a black camera bag…but I wish they could just make them cuter…like for them to look more like little purses..maybe with gold hardware or something.
Try jototes.com! They have adorable camera bags for around $100.00
I got the rose bag in sugarplum A few months ago and it's awesome. Well made and honestly cute enough to use as a purse…a big purse <3
Good luck!
@strange girl—see, those are too big for me. We are going to be traveling so I wanted a case just big enough to fit the camera with the lens, not something that can fit accessories and multiple lenses. I guess it's hard to find cute smaller cases 🙁
i love essie nail polishes! Question: do you have a favorite perfume??
@swiss—right now I use Marc Jacobs "daisy" and I also use Victor and Rolf "flowerbomb." I love them!
ugh, i know, most camera cases are SO ugly and bulky! they make chic cases for laptops, but why not cameras?!
good to know that everything was 50% off at charlotte russe! i hope i didn't totally miss out on that sale, but i'd love to check it out!
ADORE the faux-fur collar sweater vest!!! faux fur is so in and classic!
You are going to look fabulous on your trip! can't wait to see the pictures!!!!
I agree; camera cases are fug. I plan to wrap my soon-to-arrive Canon in a cardi in my Lonchamp Le Pliage tote (along with the misc. toddler junk I also haul around).
I don't know what size your camera is but Built has super cute bags/cases! I got a small case for my sister for Xmas.

So ebay has these inserts you can put into any bag to turn it into your camera bag. I don't have one myself, but have heard nothing but good things. https://cgi.ebay.com/New-FOSSOUX-LC-Partition-SLR-Camera-Insert-Padded-bag-/120637083575?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1687cfb7
!!! I totally know how you feel about camera cases! I wrinkle my nose every time I look at mine. Ha! But it does the job and keeps it safe. That's important, right? =) =)
Love all of the buys 🙂 I need to give Charlotte Ruusse a chance…I have gotten some jewlery there a year ago but thats all. I am excited for you for vacation!!
Try this place for camera bags. https://www.facebook.com/CapturingCouture. They are a bit pricey, but not $200.
Veronika… did you see this one at best buy??
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Swiss+Gear+-+DIANA+Bag+for+Digital+SLR+Cameras+-+Black/8920402.p?id=1214004487782&skuId=8920402
it's $60. im guilty of owning a few $200 ones tho.
Rebecca-thanks for the link! see the thing is, I'd almost rather have an ugly camera bag that's an actual camera bag than a bag that's a camera bag meant to look like a purse that's still ugly. It's just so frustrating because it's hard to find something cute…but I'm at a point of acceptance now and the most important thing is to just protect the camera.
ya, i dont have that one, i just remember seeing it so i thought of it when you said best buy. if you want alot more options than what best buy has…go to houston camera exchange or camera co-op. they have a ton of bags in store. some that look like camera bags, and some that dont. You're bound to find something you don't have to settle for.
thanks for the tips rebecca 🙂 I just got a plain black one 🙂 it's fine for now but one day I hope to find something prettier!
I can't wait to see the pictures from your trip. I hope you have a wonderful time!
Speaking of Ulta, I was there today and picked up an Urban Decay Naked Palette. Not sure if you ever got one but they got a shipment in this week.
Doesn't Hue make the best tights???!!! I love your hair curled~~I'm doing this too. I think it looks great!
Have a fun time in Europe!
Hi Veronika…

They have super cute camera bags and these are their small/medium line. You get to pick the fabrics and lining. Just a thought!
Enjoy your trip!
