Im slowly finding I have an addiction to Etsy. Now this isnt something I have a problem with, in fact its an addiction im going to encourage. I love knowing I have something thats one of a kind or only a small batch was made and I snagged one. It could be beauty, clothes, crafts, hand made always makes it better. So when I saw one of my favorite bloggers had started her own Etsy shop needless to say I was all about that life. So I took a peek around and gathered some things I just couldnt pass up over at DorkFaceShop

Now please forgive my shop stock photos my own did this very weird fuzzy thing where it was near impossible to tell what things were. But the bits I did pick up were these adorable Lollipop earrings and a phone case with the adorable vintage tattoo looking print tagged with the word Blogging. I know take a moment to bask in the adorableness.... Now the earrings were bigger then I expected though still studs so not tangled in my hair when its down and a cute piece when my hair is up. And the phone case is so simple and cute. Its not so slick I drop my phone but not so textured that it feels awkward to hold. Its a nice medium and has been on my phone since I got the package.

The shipping was so super fast and all the way from Liverpool in the UK to me here in New Jersey. Id wanted to show the package because it was so cute with drawings and stickers but there was no way to obscure my address so ill just have to tell you about it. The envelope was a milky brown so the pink stickers were so adorable against it. Everything was nicely packaged in bubble wrap and came in one piece which can always be a toss up with the rough treatment packages are given in shipping, especially through customs.

I already have my eye on a few other bits from her shop because she has some really cute stuff and the whole experience from beginning to end was a pleasant one. Heres to more shopping!

Dream Style ft. Betsey Johnson

I think its true with every guy and gal around that we all have a style all our own. For some of us its the only thing we wear, for others its the way we decorate our home, or the style of art that draws us. For me I would love to have my wardrobe reflect my personal style. Because I have this deep love affair with designer Betsey Johnson. Sadly I don't have a bank account that can support this habit. Still the lust I have is so real. So recently when on twitter I saw this picture posted from the beauty Betsey Johnson herself and had to show this little snippet into my person style.

Now this Boho Hippie Chic is all me. I love the flow and the colors and just this vibe taking back to the 70's (not that I was alive then I was totally born in the 80's) it just works for me. I have impossibly long hair so it too can be flowy and it all just vibes for me. Add a flower crown and some natural makeup, a pouty nude lip and sun kissed face. With either some moccasins or ankle boots with a solid heel and some fringe. I love it. Now I did price check the items from the Betsey Johnson website, and for the bag I went for the tan option because it was my favorite. Though on the site they have black, tan and white!

Bell Sleve Boho Dress Retails: $138.00

Fringe Party Bucket Bag Retails: $118.00

As you can see they arent cheap but so worth it over all. Accounting for another $50 for the boots id like it would run me just over $300. Sadly not in my price range right now but ill keep wishing for them until i can swing it.

Whats your dream style? A favorite designer not enough people appreciate?

I Covet Thee! Fashion To Try ~ LYDC London Bag!

Now anyone who has known me for five whole minites knows I am a bag girl. Even considering I give older ones to my mother, cousin or daughter I still have upwards of twenty bags. Two coach bags that are my pride and joy, two Steve Maddens I couldn't leave behind and the woman who owns my fashion heart, Betsey Johnson, of whos bags I have six! (Plus two wallets some jewelry and sunnies but whos counting?) But it is plain to see I have a varying fashion sense, moods and styles to match each and love just a little bit of everything. Like my iPod my closet is also eclectic and I love it like that. Those who know me will also be able to tell you just how impulsive I can be with shopping, but also completely cheap! Its true I know how to pinch a penny and my need to own it all is constantly warring with my need to keep a single dollar bill in my wallet.

So heres my problem. I have been eyeing this bag for roughly a year... maybe a little bit longer. And its beautiful and funky and amazing. Its different which I like, and many probably would say its tacky... another tell tale sign of my fashion sense. But I want it so!

Now take a second and just look at it! I know holographic stuff was way on trend last year and that's probably why it was made. Now a year later I feel like its less of a fad which I like more. The golden color with the gold hardware just screams me. Isn't it amazing? Now the bag is called the Argill Holographic Shoulder Bag by LYDC in Gold and it retails for £29.00 which I feel like in the UK would be a legit bag price. Plus is beautiful I mean so worth the money. Even with conversions it would be about $50 which I've done for a Betsey bag.

The shipping is whats been holding me off, to the states its about £15 which brings the price of the bag up to about $70 total and I just keep balking at the after conversions numbers. Still im going to get it. Im not sure when but it will happen. This pretty will be mine! Luckily if you are in the UK or Ireland the shipping is about £5 unless you spend X amount on the site and then its free! Which is an amazing deal. I also believe its less for the rest of Europe and I feel like these bags are so worth it to check and see what the price runs for you.

This particular bag comes in 5 colors including Black so really anyone else who thinks its as gorgeous as I do id go and take a look at them. And Then we can be bag twinsies! Is anyone else totally in love with this bag? Have another unique find I need to see? As ever drop a comment to dish with us ^_^

Whats in my bag? Summer 2015!

Hey there my loves. A couple of weeks ago i decided to change over my purse, ive had this one waiting in the wings for a while and while the tiny bags i was using were a nice change im a big bag kind of girl. And this design was just up my ally, who wouldn't want this vintage style tattoo print of their favorite Disney princess?

Now tell me this isnt the cutest bag ever?! It makes me think of this Rockabilly Pinup girl, but its also totally my style. My favorite Disney princess printed like shes an old school sailor tattoo.... amazeballs. I got this beauty from HotTopic which is great for fandom kind of merchandise. I tried to find this bag on the site and i couldn't find it. But they do have an Alice in wonderland one Here! Just like mine it does come with a shoulder strap but i don't use mine, im more of an hand/arm bag to shoulder bags. The leather is soft and its sturdy. The bag isnt heavily structured but it doesn't fall flat the second its empty either. Now take a second to appriciate the beauty that is the print, which was really my selling point on a bag that retails just shy of $70!

Now if you are thinking about this bag or any others as an option practice smart shopping. The price tag for the purse was $69.50, but i got it for around $44. Sign up for site emails, or better yet search for coupons online if you need to check out quickly. Theres always in store and site sales, all you need is a bar-code or coupon code to scan or input to get amazing deals. Ill outline some of my bargain shopping tips in another post, how to get clothes beauty and books for steals! And now for a little peak at what is inside of my bag!

Inside the Bag-
*Marvel Notebook- My Blogging notebook, for ideas, lists, keeping thoughts together because i have the memory of a goldfish and if i dont write things down they are gone from me forever.
*Kindle- Yes that beautiful black case with Jai Courtney's lovely image on it? That is my kindle Case, Its from Caseable and its my second. My original kindle 3 also had a case from there. They are great qualty and i can post a review for them if you guys would like. Also see that Noob writen on there? Yup, tagged with NoobChic, its one of my most prized possessions... books on tap always.
*iPhone- Its an iPhone 6 and that pretty Ariel case was about $5 on ebay.
*Mimco Wallet
*Powerstick Deodorant Body Spray- Because its summer and freshness is key. Also it compliments my Summer Escada perfume so well!
*Glasses Case- Its all fancy pants Michael Kors because it came with my glasses, yay for sales at Americas Best.
*Compact Mirror- Now this is my pride and joy, and i have a bigger one as well because a full review of the mirros and site is to come. But i can say now if you are in the market for a great mirror, that lights up, for you or as a gift for someone else check out VanityPrimp! Must see and from what ive seen she now carries bad ass cellphone cases as well!
*Nude Stix Lippie- In mystic and comes in that adorable tin case.
*Makeup Bag- This beauty was an ipsy bag a couple of months ago. Sephora has a bigger version, of which i have one... super cute and durable, with alot of space for the 11 lippies i seem determined to carry around.

So that is a wrap up of what i carry around with me when im on the go. What do you guys just need to lug around every time you leave the house? Anything i need to tuck into my bag next time i go out? Leave any tips, tricks or recommendations below!

Fresh starts and whats been going on....

Hey there turtle doves! Its been a long time i know. The end of 2014 was a little rough over here at Noob Chic headquarters. Family, friend and just life issues plopping down on top of the holidays couldn't have been worse. But all of those have been resolved and now i am buckling down, back to doing something i love just for me. As you can see the site has been given a face lift, but thats not all that is coming.....

So whats coming in this so far amazing 2015 for Noob Chic? Well i have some amazing beauty reviews all planned up. I've been thinking of a book club of sorts, and would love some input from others as i'm doing a challenge to read 30 books at least this year. (Thank you Goodreads) Theres also alot of fashion bits im anxious to share with everyone and movies, music, just life in general and all of it to share with you wonderful people.

So keep an eye out for all of the goodies to come and remember till the next time we meet have an epic day!
