A few fun (yet frugal) finds.

I did a little New Year's Eve shopping last night. I drove all the way to the Tyson's Galleria Anthropologie to check out this sale frock, making it with 8 minutes to spare. I had just enough time to try it on, only to find that the sleeves were too big. I wasn't quite ready to go home, so I ventured over to World Market and Target in Rockville. I stumbled across this adorable (and affordable!) cookbook holder (pictured). I have been wanting a cookbook holder for some time, and this one was cheap, charming, and completely me! And of course Target had some great post-holiday finds that I just had to snatch up.

1) World Market cookbook holder ($12.99), Mossimo® Oversized Floral Scarf from Target I got for my mom ($14.99); 2) close-up of cookbook holder; 3) tan Mossimo® infinity scarf and headband (on clearance: $11.88, $7.68), Essie nail polish in Turquoise & Caicos and Chinchilly, Sally Hansen Gem Crush nail polish in Big Money, patterned socks including Merona® Preppy Socks in Purple Stripe and Aqua Polka Dot ($1.50-$3.00); 4) close-up of Xhilaration® Low Cut Socks in Green Hedgehog and Pink Fox patterns, Xhilaration Black Tech Touch gloves ($3.00)

I have been loving that mint green color lately. I typically stick with neutrals and purple, but I have been eyeing that Essie polish (Turquoise & Caicos) since this past summer. And how cute are those socks!? I love fun socks, and couldn't pass up the chance to add to my fox collection! Got some gloves I can use with my iPhone...and they're cheap enough that it's okay if I lose them.

So here are my fun little finds. Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful New Year's! Here's to 2013: the year I get married!!! :)

Luv,

the Bride
