Haul: Urban Outfitters & TopShop

Hello lovely people! Todays post will be about my recent trip to LA and the goodies I bought this week that I thought you would love to look at. So basically my mother and I had a little mother and daughter bonding trip and we decided to go to Los Angeles and just relax and do a little retail therapy and while I was there I thought that it would be nice to go to a couple of malls that I haven't been to before. So lets start with the GROVE!!

It was Easter Sunday so I thought I would go and walk around and just see what the mall is like and let me tell you, it was a very fancy sort of European inspired type of mall. The stores there were basically set up as outlets. It was a very open space and there was a giant fountain sort of lake thing going on in the middle of it all. The first place I hit up was Topshop!!! It just opened and I thought why don't they have one in San Diego!! I love the set up of it but the prices were a bit high for most things there. I bought a dork t-shirt, which took me ages to find btw. Also I was very much in love with their makeup section...I spent at least 30 mins looking at all the different makeup items instead of actually looking at the clothes. You can get it here for cheaper than I did....its $24 on the website and $36 at the store!!! Wow... but I love it so comfy!!

So here's the t-shirt:

Excuse the wrinkliness....(btw did you know a dork means a whale's penis...I didn't know! OMG.)

And the inner beauty goddess in me couldn't resist buying a lipstick and it was so hard to choose but I decided to go with Brighton Rock which is this very bright hot pink almost somewhat a bright barbie pink. You can purchase it online too here. Its a bit bright but I love how long this lasts me!!

And here it is:

The packaging is so cute!!



Here's a few pics at the Americanca with some family friends:

Moving on I also went to the Americana and did more shopping there at Urban Outfitters and of course went to the sale section since everything there like topshop, is a bit more on the pricer range...WHY?!? But by going over to the sale section I managed to get a few good steals!! I found these heels which were originally $59 and now are only $10!!!! I searched on Urban online and they don't seem to carry these shoes anymore.

 Here they are:

 Another shoe that I did pick up were toms. I only own one pair of toms, there red, but I love how comfortable these shoes are!!! Plus the giving another pair to a child in Africa isn't so bad either. So I picked up these and they were on sale for only $19 compared to the original $60. They had more on sale for $19 but I decided to choose theses because I love the feel of them and the different gradients of black and grey they are. Plus I thought they would be easier to pair with most outfits if I want to be comfortable.

 Here they are:

I also got a few books and here they are: 

I decided to get the look before you leap because it was on sale for only $4.99 and who doesn't want to take life lessons from everyone and their mothers favorite frog!! Kermit. It's pretty interesting so far. I'll write a review on it later.

The other book I purchased was the Diet Doodle Diary

And here it is: 

This book wasn't on sale but it was only $10. I thought I should purchase it to help me out with my diet and weight loss since I have been struggling with loosing weight for so many years now. I mean you know its bad when your dad keeps complaining about how you need to eat healthier and loose weight. I mean I accept I'm not the fittest girl out there but I want to be skinny and be able to fit into clothes that I have always wanted to wear and not look horrid in them. So this is where I will be able to keep track of it and this book goes on for up to 30 weeks and I will be starting it today! So here's to a healthier lifestyle and what not. If you want to see my progress I'll put a separate page up and talk all about my struggle and what I'm currently doing that to change it. I'll be posting a weekly picture and weigh ins. If you need a buddy for loosing weight I'm here!! 

Here's my inspiration for today:

Until then...spread love and keep your head up!!
