Bargain Find: Mini Dress $58

Usually when you find something cheap and cheerful, it lacks the little special little details that would otherwise make something very simliar more expensive. That's not the case with this mini dress! I love the cinched and braided details of this bargain find...

A ring for tough chicks from Alexis Bittar

I'm usually not that into tough-looking jewelry, but this Alexis Bittar ring is definitely an exception for me. With six smoke crystals and one black crystal embedded in the hammered silver top, it reminds me of a piece of modern art.

Day to Evening Metallic Clutch

I've been shopping around for new little clutch to go with my holiday party dresses....and I've only got about a week left to find the perfect one! I'm really in the market for a metallic evening clutch, but I want to find one I'd use after the holidays without having to worry about looking too glitzy. I've been obsessing over this clutch from Foley + Corrina because I know I could definitely dress it up enough for holiday parties or dress it down enough to wear with jeans. I love how the chain and crinkled metallic leather give it a little bit of a rocker glam vibe...

SHOP: Foley + Corinna Handbags The Little Clutch $288

Sale Find: Cowl Neck Sweater Dress $63

Sweater dresses are simply godly. Walking around in a sweater dress with textured or knit tights and flat boots is just about as comfortable as walking around in your favorite PJs and fuzzy slippers all day. Of course, the sweater dress route is a bit more stylish and won't get you confused for the local crazy cat lady. Score this $161 sweater dress from Laurie B for $63 on sale at Nordstrom's! Also comes in charcoal.

Sunner Calgary Ruffle Jacket

I think I might be slightly obsessed with this jacket from Sunner. I love how the feminine ruffles contrast with the tough military style buttons.

Alisha Levine Cashmere Sweater

I love how this sweater from Alisha Levine looks like your basic cashmere sweater from the front, but has a subtly sexy surprise in the back. It comes in three colors, but the "rose" is my favorite. So pretty!

Easy Day-to-Evening Outfit: Sequinced Tees

If you're constantly on the go like me, you know what a pain it is to figure out an outfit that can realistically be worn day-to-evening. Going straight from your day look to a casual evening look for drinks with the girls can be a lot harder than it sounds if you don't have time to change between your daily stops! I love the idea of these chic little sequinced tees. Wear them with a polished dark wash jean, a little sweater, and flats for the day. Switch the sweater for a funky jacket and the flats for a pump, add a bit of make-up, and you're go to go for the night!

Shop Happy is Back!

Okay, so I know I haven't posted in forever and a half. My life got a little more hectic than I could handle and something had to go for the sake of my sanity. If I promised to make a big comeback, would you forgive me? I'm really looking forward to rebooting Shop Happy to share my little shopping obsession with you ladies again!

Rachel Leigh Simply Chic Ring

Call me cheesey, but I'm a sucker for jewelry with engraves text or messages. If accessorizing is supposed to be a way to express yourself through your outward appearance, than there is no easier way to do it. I came across this ring and instantly fell in love with it's simple design and cute message...

I found this store on a trip to the Hamptons and fell in love with it instantly. They have an awesome selection of dresses (everything from evening to beachy casual).
