the return of must have monday!

I am mildly addicted to online shopping. 

I love surfing all over the internet for cute clothes an nerdy things! 

Must. Have. Monday. is a blog idea stolen from Alex that allows me to swoon

 and share some of the fun stuff I have been stalking lately!

[1.] 'South Geo Print Dress'

Price: $41.00

This dress is from Very.com, which I discovered from ANTM. #noshame
I. Love. The. Print! && I love the lines and cut of this dress!

Plus that is a damn good price!

[2.] 'Creative Outlet Necklace in Supplies'

Price: $27.99 on sale!

This is such a fun necklace! I mean Rainbow Colored Pencils!!!

How up my alley could you get? However the price isn't my favorite ;)

[3.] 'Mini Movie Clapper Pillow'

Price: $18.00

 DUDE. I want. 

I just want so much!! So much want!!

It is just so cute and so perfect and so me!

[4.] 'Eyelet Ivory Skirt'

Price: $62.00

This skirt was in this haul video and I died.

Why, oh, why do I not have all of the monies?!
This needs to be in my closet!

[5.] 'Dark Brown Mossimo® Belted Moto Jacket'

Price: $39.99

This would have been the perfect Katniss-cosplay jacket...
Why don't I own it? SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE.
Please excuse me while I go cry...

So this post has a little bit of everything!

What is on your "must have" list?

ps.. Read past M.H.M. posts here! 

Things I Think :: 69th Golden Globes

Last night I watched the Golden Globes or 

The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

Host: Ricky Gervais! ♥

• I heart Ricky! Spoiler alert: he wasn't in most of the show!
  At least he is laughing his way to the bank. ;)
• Johnny Depp, how do you defy age?
• PSA for Brad Pitt: CUT YOUR HAIRS!
  
• Christopher Plummer, oh Captain Von Trapp, my Captain!
• Ashon cleaned up his face and cut his hair and the world rejoiced!
  
• Then there was those mandatory awkward pauses
  because the tech stopped working...
• Julianne Moore is an adorable woman.
• DOWNTON ABBEY FTW!
  
• Why do I always forget that Kate Winslet is British?
• Jake Gyllenhaal is attractive. This isn't new news.
  
• other stuff happened, people won, I saw more cute black bow ties on!
• Original Song was all like Elton John vs Madonna. That queen is PISSED. And by queen, I mean Queen Elton!
• I wish Madonna would pull a Britney-go crazy and a Lohan-lose her career.
• I am happy Michelle Williams is back in the A-list spotlight; she's lovely and adorable.
  
  
• OH HAI BUFFY! Ohai SMG! Hey, girl, hey!
• I have been a fan of Peter Dinklage since The Station Agent; so I am happy he won!
  
• George Clooney, how are you so silverfoxy?!
• I heart kids movies! They should win ALL THE AWARDS!
• I missed a bit over my RAGE BLACKOUT.
• Awwww Dustin Hoffman, I am sad that you are getting older than silverfoxy.
• Claire Danes is precious. If anyone was going to take Hugh Dancy off the market, I am happy it was her.
• You could go swimming in Thomas Jane's dimples.
  Those puppies are deep! 
• Helen Mirren is the shit. A total bamf.
• Again, Morgan Freeman is the definition of classy.
• Oh, RDJ. That is all.
• Once I could actually see the whole dress, I liked Angelina Jolie's look.
• Martin Scorsese, when you see the eyebrows first and the bow tie second!
•  My fingers were crossed for New Girl but I am proud of Modern Family.
  
  
• Sofia Vergara is The Cuteness dressed in Sexy.
• As someone who didn't know of The Artist until this show, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was ROBBED!
  

  

  Love. Him.

• Another disappoint was Meryl Streep winning for a role that should have been filled by an English actress. On the other hand, at least they didn't cast Madonna. #gag
• Natalie Portman walking to the wrong mic to present...
  
  So cute.
• Then George Clooney and his movie won and I was bored and disappointed again.

So yes... Once again

I watched an award show that was only worth my time because

I had nothing better to do!

Oh well.

I hope you enjoy these pictures of pretty people in expensive clothes anyway!

Ryan says Hey ladies.I say Hey, boy, heyyy!

AND

I leave you with this amazingness:

Return of the Etsy Purchases

Here are 3 reasons that my internet should get turned off at midnight.

BUT I LOVE THEM!

• 80s Cream TShirt Dress
  I plan to hem it to knee length.

• Hand-made patch-work dress made from vintage plaid fabric
  Love the sweethart shape and it ties like a halter in the back!
  
  
• Simple Pink 60s Dress
  A purchase inspired by watching Pan Am & The Playboy Club

And they all are pocket dresses! <3

I am a little nervous about size. 

But then again, if they don’t fit, I’ll just re-sell them!

now that is the way to sell shoes...

[aka Must Have Monday & MGG Appreciation Post]

Before MGG tweeted that he'd be in this video,

I had no idea that ALDO Shoes even existed.

After swooning watching the advert a few times,

I went to their website.

Well done, ALDO. Well done.

 & find shoes I did!

Here are two in particular that I'd like to showcase!

THE ROUSELL

THE LATASHA

Some gals like a Little Black Dress...as do I.

But I also love me a Little Black Shoe, too!

must have monday, on tuesday [2]

 So, Alex posted a lil bloggy blog yesterday...

And it made me want to post again too...

Well, it is FREAKING COLD here in Colorado!

So, I am going to take some advice from Ashley,

when you've got winter blues- swoon over summer dresses!

Must. Have. Monday Tuesday

*Mod Cloth dresses edition*

[1.] 'Musical Stairs Dress'

Price: $30.99 on sale!

I love the mock umpire-waist band.
& although it isn't summer colors, I love the print!

Plus it is on sale :)

[2.] 'Sunny Side of the Street Dress'

Price: $84.99

I love the pop of color on top matched with the bottom print.

Oh, and look. That mock ump-waist band again!

[3.] 'Sailing into the Sunset Dress'

Price: $97.99

 At that price, tis a good thing this baby is out of stock.

But geeeeez do I want. 

I can totally imagine being out in the sun,
making a spoof 'I'm on a Boat' video! Ha!

[4.] 'So Far, So Hood Dress'

Price: $40.99 on sale!

Usually people go for ALL BRITE WHITE,

but I love an off-white summer dress.

Plus this has side pockets and a hood!

[5.] 'Set the Night on Fire Dress'

Price: $129.99

 I had to end with a LBD.

Nothing says summer luvin like a great LBD.

This dress totally brings out the naughty side of summer!

WHEW.

Thank goodness I'm already broke! Heh.

What is on your "must have" list?

Must. Have. Monday [1]

 There is this awesome blogger out there.

Her name is Alex. Also @alexandriacadyh.

Even though she is super busy now that she's all grown up to 25...

(yesterday was her birthday! wish her a happy one here?)

with a grown up job dealing with other grown ups who aren't very grown up...
She has a super fun blog!

I have stolen a few blog ideas from her in the past

and this is no exception!

I give you my first 

Must. Have. Monday.

*vests & shrugs edition*

[1.] 'Lazerade Roth Vest' from Urban Outfitters

Price: $39.99 on sale!

I love the color, cut and buttons on this vest. I love it!

Plus it is on sale at a much better price. :)

[2.] 'Mossimo Striped Shrug' from Target

Price: $22.99

"If it doesn't button, it isn't a vest" -Me

I know that it is listed as a 'vest' but I consider these 'shrugs'

Anyways, I love the striped casual look these give.

Perfect for fall days when it isn't as crisp outside.

Plus it is pretty inexpensive! Thanks Target!

[3.] 'Robert Rodriguez Long Halter Vest ' from 6PM

Price: $92.00 on sale

 I'm totally diggin the long and skinny but still sharp look.

It is super expensive but geeeeez! I want.

[4.] 'Snickerdoodle Vest/Shrug ' from Anthropologie

Price: $49.95 on sale!

 Now normally as much as I love look's from Anthro,

I usually don't think they are worth the mula. This time?

I am crying inside. This vest is so worth it.

[5.] 'A Little This, A Little That Shrug' from Mod Cloth

Price: $34.99

 This one is beautiful to me. I love how it looks reversible.

Just like Anthro, I sometimes I don't think Mod Cloth

is within my 'budgetary happy place.'

[6.] 'Three Dots Tuscan Stripped Shrug ' from 6PM

Price: $75.00 on sale

 I love how long this shrug is. And yes, I am fond of stripes!

Too bad that even on sale it is ridiculously not cheap.

[7.] 'Dramaturge Vest ' from Mod Cloth

Price: $64.99

 This. Is. My. Favorite.

I am a cheapskate but GAH!

I'd totally pay for this.

So it is probably a good thing that it is current out-of-stock.

WHEW.

That was equal parts fun & depressing! Heh.

What is on your "must have" list?

ps. Happy Monday!  

p.ss. Thanks for being awesome, Ms Always Alexandria!
