As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve already started shopping for spring styles online and in stores, so I thought I would share with you what I have bought so far!
 |
| $11.50 |
I included this romper in my spring picks in this post and I talked about how it’s taken me a little while to jump onto the romper bandwagon. However, I think with the right fit and color/pattern, they can look super stylish, so I picked up this one! The price is hard to beat and I love the combination of gray and yellow, especially considering that my closet is lacking a lot of yellow pieces.
 |
| $22.80 |
You can’t quite tell in this picture, but all of these little dots are stars. You guys know how much I regretted not buying the last star-print dress that I saw on the Forever 21 website, so I made up for that by buying this one! I mean, how perfect is this dress for me, seriously?! It has stars and a pretty classic silhouette- both qualities are more than enough to convince me!
 |
| $14.80 |
This is another item that I spotted online, but I hadn’t seen in stores until I visited my local Forever 21 back home. I thought this print was just too adorable to pass up!
 |
| $9.80 |
So I am finally ready to try the maxi trend. I have seen many petite girls rocking them and there was a good article by Rachel Zoe in Glamour about how to wear the trend, so I’m excited! I think this neutral one is a good place to start.
 |
| $13.99 |
Even though the weather was quite warm when I bought this, I couldn’t leave behind this sweater on sale. I love the creamy color and cable knit, it has the perfect slouchy/relaxed fit, and it’s so soft!
 |
| $3.95 |
I couldn’t resist sharing this skirt again because I love it so much! The color is perfect and the way it flows is dreamy. Chelsea wrote a great post about transitioning pieces between the seasons and I can’t wait to wear this skirt and try her tip of wearing longer skirts in bright spring colors!

| Dolce Vita for Target Rope Wedge Sandals |
 |
| Xhilaration Tawny Wedge Sandals *last two images from Target.com |
Last week, I got an email form Target that said that they were having a ‘Buy One- Get One 50%’ sale on shoes and purses, so I knew I had to take advantage of the sale! I’ve seen wedges popping up everywhere and I’ve been obsessing over finding some new spring wedges, so I decided to purchase these two pairs. With the discount and free shipping, my total cost ended up being around $42 which I thought was pretty awesome! I think the first pair will be super versatile and once again I’m trying to branch out from only buying black shoes. However, I couldn’t resist grabbing the Tawny Wedges, which I’ve loved ever since I saw them on Kenzie!
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

What an awesome haul! I love everything you got! That star dress is my favorite– and those Dolce Vita wedges! Good work, Nnenna!
Thank you! That's the problem- I love seeing what other bloggers find on their thrifting excursions but then I'm jealous of their amazing finds! It's hard! haha =)
Thanks, haha, score! =) Thank you so much for following Nekiah :)
Oh I LOVE that pink skirt! It caught my attention mid scroll and I had to scroll back up to see where it was from. I was slightly sad when I saw it was thrifted because I know I can't go buy one. haha!

Thank you Samantha!! Sometimes the stuff I see online just does not work out when I try it on in stores, but other times I find great items! :)
Thank you!! Yes, I agree, especially in the shoes department I think! :)
Thank you! :)
That bow-print skirt is ADOOORRRABLE! I'm kind of jealous because I can never find things that fit right at Forever21. (Or maybe I should say envious because I want to steal your skirt.)
very pretty forever 21 dresses! and wow at those shoes, target always has cute stuff :) xx
OMG love the star-print dress! Ever since Kate Moss wore that fabulous starry Chanel dress to her birthday party a few years ago, I'm mush for anything similar.
All your finds are great…and way to go! Nothing you bought was too expensive or excessive. I envy your shopping skillz.
Cute stuff!
