BLCKGLD Clothing

Coming Soon

I can be a bit of a compulsive shopper and bargin hunter, so I tend to have things in excess. Clothes that I've never worn (tags still in tact), shoes I've forgotten about and jackets that's have never seen the light of day.

In an effort to purge my closet, amongst other things, BLCKGLD Clothing was birthed.

_______________________________

If you're like us then you have a million clothes and not enough closet to fit them or even days of the year to wear them.

We plan on offering affordable, new and gently used pieces as well as some original designs.

We eventually want this to also be a platform for YOU to sell your items as well. And also as a outlet to sell orginal designs (streetwear, dresses, accessories etc).


See you at the Grand Opening.

Shop-a-HAUL-ic [6]: Jeffrey Campbell

I don't really think I need to preface this post with anything. I'll just let the shoes speak for themselves. I may do a review on the shoes and SoleStruck later but for now enjoy the shoe porn.


I included a video of my reaction while I was unboxing them as well as some clips of me walking in them. Pictures at the bottom of the post.

Hope you love them as much as I do. :)

Yikes

Golly gee willikers... a whole month of not blogging!!!

Well in my defense I am in school so I've been busy. But the semester is almost over and I need to get back on the saddle before the break starts.

Any hope everyone's Thanksgiving went well, seeing family, eating and shopping!

I'll be posting a shoe haul soon. I'm super excited for them to come in!

Let me know if you bought anything exciting this past weekend/Monday.

Cyber Monday >>> Black Friday

"JEFFREY CAMPBELL!!! I ordered the Lita's on Monday and I just got them in...I'm in LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I'm so excited to add these shoes to my collections find outfits to wear with them.

SOO I've had these shoes for 3 months or so and...

SN: if you remember my post about wedges (here) you know how much I love these(link). Well I ended up buying them AND they were on SALE...I only paid $54 (compared to the original $90) #winning.

I also ordered two palettes from Coastal Scents that arrived recently"

...nearly a year later.

Well there's nothing like an incomplete thought to highlight ones short attention span. SMH.

So I've had my Lita's for almost a year maybe even more because I'm not even sure when I received them. Regardless I love them to this day and have been wanting a 2nd and 3rd pair since! I originally ordered a 6 but had to exchange it for a 7. I bought them from SoleStruck and shipping and all that good stuff was fast and easy. I love(d) them. I'm happy I bought the black distressed leather because they go with everything, or I try to pair them with everything anyway. Seriously THEY ARE THE MOST COMFORTABLE HEELS THAT I OWN. Sorry for the caps lock, but I needed to convey my opinion in the best way possible over the internet. The longer I have them the more distressed they look and the more they become my go to shoes. From casual to dressy more often than not I'm wearing them or tried to wear them.

I ended up buying both pairs of wedges featured in my Top 5 [9] and I love those as well. And you can bet I got both of them on sale. I love Aldo! Anyway, wedges are super easy to walk in compared to heels. And they're great for the summer time. I don't think I have pictures of me in either of them :(. But just know they were super cute on.

I ordered the 88 warm palette and the 10 shade blush palette from Coastal Scents. Both were pretty affordable compared to other palettes of their kind. I REALLY love the blush palate and pretty much exclusively use those colors. The Warm palate has come in handy when doing make up for other people. Yes, I'm unofficially a freelance M.U.A. but are you surprised?

So finally, after having had a FULL basket this whole summer on forever21.com I actually ordered some of the stuff I wanted. I’d waited so long that a lot of the stuff that was originally there went out of stock :( but I totally love what I got. I already have a lot of clothes and as I’m getting older, I want to acquire clothes that will reflect that maturity [for the most part anyway, because I LOVE sneakers and tees]. I also want things that will work with items I already have and that are still MY style.

Basically I LOVE Forever 21.

LOVE it, (cuz I actually would)- SALE $6.99

 

Imagine with royal blue or mustard colored leggings & jewelry- $19.80

Love button downs over skinnies or leggins- $10.50

What can I say, if these don’t make my butt bigger then I don’t know what will [my butts not all that small]- $17.80

I do think he’s lovely, and HOT, I’d DEFINALTY baROCK Obama’s world (LMAO I’m a mess)- $19.00

***My opinions on President Obama’s attractiveness have nothing to do with my political affiliation. I don’t “affiliate” with any party, mostly because I can not vote [I am 20, BUT only a permanent resident of this country and not yet a citizen] so don’t misinterpret my statement above.***

LOVE the color and the print- SALE $8.99

adore the safety pin detail, grey is such a pretty color- $17.80

So cute, <3 ruffles- SALE $14.99

 

Total=$115.87 [thank you F21 for free shipping!]

That’s not bad compared to what it started out as at the beginning of summer [over $400!].

To bad that’s not all the shopping I'll be doing…still need to order those Creative Recs [below]!!!

And I WANT these next…

Mmm…off to bed. Shop till I drop! And I have another day of apartment shopping with my Mom to look forward to tomorrow. YAY!

Retail Therapy works wonders, even if you don’t have any problems at the moment.

Top 5 AHOLICs [3]

Internet Edition

5) Skype
4) Blogger
3) Youtube [F3MB0T's channel]
2) Facebook
1) Twitter [F3MB0T's profile]

These are pretty self explanatory. If you have an account or have just been on the sites you'll know, ESPECIALLY while in the depths of boredom.

Skype is like MSN Messenger or AOL messenger but with video call. or just phone calling. You can make phone calls to land lines or cell phone (at an extra cost) but all in all it's a GREAT way to stay in touch with loved ones across the country and the world.

I've known about Twitter for a LONG time, but my father being the person that he is (a computer nut) BLOCKED the site. So I couldn't get on the website at all :(. BUT while we were down in Hawaii it worked and I checked it out, and then when we got back home to the mailland I noticed that I had access to the website. I was ECSTATIC!! So I created an account. At first I wasn't that into it (as my Facebook status eventually proclaimed) and I almost deleted it. HOWEVER I stuck around for a little bit long and got HOOKED. The best part of Twitter (compared to Facebook)...I CAN UPDATE VIA MY CELL PHONE...YES [air pump]. [This was pre-smartphone]
Anyway I'm getting the hang of the tweets, tweeting and all the new lingo (# and @'s) but there is one I don't understand yet (RT) but give me time. I LOVE it.
Follow me and I'll Follow you. I'm looking for REAL people on Twitter, celebs are ok, BUT I'd prefer regular people to spammers and stars.

What Internet addictions are you enjoying? There's plenty to choose from, so take a dive.

P.S. Hawaii was FABULOUS! It definitely gets the AHOLIC stamp of ADDICTION!

Oh My GOSH a SALE!!!

Ok, so I have a shopping HABIT. ESPECIALLY online shopping! The easy accessibility of the store from one location (my bed) it's just too convenient. I can be online for HOURS just looking through the items, building up my shopping cart, and never actually order anything.

The worst part is that I fall in love with some of the items, but I know deep down that I don't need it (I already have a TON of clothes and shoes). But I just can't help myself (breaks into "Baby Got Back"). Sometimes I save the page on my browser with the intent of placing the order, I'm only deluding myself. With nearly $200 worth of stuff in the basket/cart I can't actually afford it, well not on my own, and I HATE asking my dad for that much money at one time, esp for something I don't really need.

Anyway I was out today, for nearly 3 hours, and I bought NOTHING. I was so proud of myself. Although it was not really that great of an accomplishment. I didn't go to my favorite store so it's more of an empty victory. Had I gone there (Target) I would've surely spent money. I live in relatively small town (20,000 people) in comparison to Minneapolis or St. Paul where i go to school. So for me Target is as good as it gets without having to driving an hour to get to a "REAL" mall.

So to add to my bad habit, sometimes I feel that I NEED to buy something just because it's on sale. Anyone ever get that feeling? (What about the enjoyment from shopping online?) I don't know, but I'm sure I'm not alone.
