HauteLook and Buckle

Recently, I've discovered two new websites that sell various designers' items at discounted prices. I've gotten a few items from both stores - a pair of sandals and a blouse from HauteLook, and a Free People blouse from Buckle, and I love them all. 

Buckle operates like a normal clothing website, like Net-a-Porter but less expensive (because they stock different things). HauteLook, however, works a little differently. Each day they put up new deals from different stores or designers ranging from exercise clothes to dresses to jewelry, bags, and shoes. Each deal is only available for a few days, and when the items sell out they don't restock them. But if you're lucky, you can find some great deals! To be honest, I didn't love the shipping - because there are multiple sellers, they all ship things separately. I ordered the sandals and blouse at the same time, but while my sandals arrived after about a week my blouse didn't come for a few weeks which was a little frustrating. They did keep me updated though when everything shipped, so that was a plus. I can't say how long the shipping from Buckle took because I had it sent to my parents house in California while I was in Scotland. 

The quality of the items were all great, and I loved the great deals that I got on them. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who asks!

Where do you guys find your deals?

Love,

Mail Call!

So my things came in the mail today! I was super excited because I didn't know when they were all supposed to arrive, and I was having a not so good morning, so seeing this stuff in the mailbox pretty much made my day!

This is my new passport case that I got off of Etsy. I had never had a passport case before, because in the airport I just leave it in a specific pocket of my bag, with other really important items. But, since I have to renew my passport to use for general traveling and still keep my old one for the student visa, I thought a passport case might come in handy. It's a nice, soft cloth material, and I got one with a cute constellation pattern on it (after all, I might become an astrophysicist or an astronaut one day). The pattern I got is sold out, but there are tons of other cute options all over Etsy, and at the store where I got mine, here.

I got this shirt from Hautelook a few weeks ago, and it took a while to ship to me, but I absolutely love it! It's really cute and flattering, and super comfy as well. It's nice and long, so I wore it today with a pair of leggings and some flip flops. This specific top isn't available anymore, but you guys should definitely check out Hautleook for tons of other good deals.

And last but not least, my jeans from Pacsun arrived today! I love these! The yellow jeans are definitely a lot brighter than what they look like online (and even what they look like in this picture), but as my friend says "if its less yellow than a taxi, then you're good". You can get the yellow jeans here and the boyfriend jeans here - and they're still on a special promotion, so they only cost $25 instead of $45/$50.

So yeah. These are all of the goodies that came in the mail today. I'm doing my best to limit what I buy to only useful and necessary things, so I shouldn't be putting up too many more haul type posts for a little while. If I can restrain myself, that is.

Love,

Caro
