STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Pretty standard, for Gap anyway.  I'm always either a 2 or 4, depending on how narrow things are cut and where, and I got a 2 in these.  There's a bit more room in the tush than many other Gap styles, and the knee break is pretty high so it allows room for muscular quads - both of those areas have kept me out of any other Gap style for a few years now.  Medium rise, a touch of breathing room at the waist.  The wash is nice and uniform IRL too, which seems so hard to find these days.

HTH!  They're on sale right now too, 25% off .

This suit from J Crew. Both the jacket and skirt were part of the final sale, and I used the extra30 code to get them for cheap.


I also bought a bunch of stuff for hubby for our anniversary. Mostly online, so the packages should be rolling in any day now.

And this Nambe sauce boat for Thanksgiving. I ordered it last year and it backordered and I cancelled. So, this year I ordered it early.

I went a little crazy today at Anthropologie...




Plus two other tops that were not online. I am officially not going near a store for the rest of the weekend!

I had some expiring nordstrom notes so I visited my local nordstrom rack, since I hadn't been there in a while...I found lots of cute bras in my hard to fit size.  Also found stila travel pack of lip glaze. I had no idea norstrom rack sold makeup!

These Stuart Weitzmans I'd had my eye on, got lucky yesterday and saw them 65% off:


These Fryes in marine, also 65% off:





And a set of three soft black curved vases from the Art Institute in Chicago.  My boyfriend surprised me with some flowers & I didn't have proper vases for them.  Hence these ;)

the smell reminds me of the beach. Mmmm.

the new Sephora OPI line in Beauty Junky... they describe it as a bordeaux brown. I have it on my toes right now, and its great. One we get into Fall, I'll use it on short fingernails too.

I'm so excited, this weekend was a wonderful one on ebay.  

I found two things I have been hunting for forever.  1 - I found this Carrie Valentine Clutch for less than 20% the price of retail (and it is new!!).  Love...  It's the confidence style clutch - the leather is so soft, the top rolls down like a paper bag.   






Also found a BR ring I have been kicking myself I didn't buy for over a year and it popped up this weekend in my size. 




I love it when this happens.  Now if the silk BR silk rosette tunic from winter/early spring would just appear, I would know the shopping gods were looking out for me.   

Also bought these from etsy (they remind me a bit of the style of some turqjewelry earrings I have that everyone comments on) -

i went NUTS at a discount chain near me that had tons of anthro stuff. will post pics in a bit!

Thanks!  They come in 4 colors, so if I like them when they arrive, I could be in trouble!!
