Karina - I love this

It's on my list for when my shopping ban is over - it's so cute!

Cortney1982 · Chanel

Love this!!!!! Too bad I get too cold in the fall/winter to wear a short sleeve thing like this.

Escrime · Kate Spade

Yet another victim of the Nordstrom's Sale. I went to Nordstrom #1 and it was INSANE.

Got this because I need a "sensible" bag for everday for fall:

This to wear on my flights:

I need to stop buying Pumas, but they are so great for plane rides!

This as one of the gifts for my best friend at her bridal shower:

The Bare Escentuals Complexion Perfection kit b/c I have been hearing such rave reviews about it, and I liked what the SA showed me:

a studded belt

a shrunken blazer in black

some gauchos from F21

lynnie · Chanel

I bought:

a yellow big wood bead bracelet from Anthro

black Sanctuary linen long pants from Anthro- $29.95 from $128

a yellow lingerie cami that I plan on wearing out- it has tiers sort of, on sale for $19.95

Gap favorite cami- FINALLY I had been looking for this $14.50

these, complete impulse, but on sale for $49.99 from $160 and I can wear them to work if they fit:

I tried to do the Nordstrom sale but it was so crowded I couldn't take it. I'm going to go back on Monday morning when the crowd has died down.

Forever 21 stuff

To be worn with dress below

I won this vintage Lilly Pulitzer dress on ebay. I loved it and still do. I sent my mom a picture and she said, "It looks like something the landlord's wife on Three's Company would wear." I don't care though. The auction was cute and said, "Shoes and weird cat not included."

dot · Marc Jacobs

sfc love that polka dot top! soooooooo betty boop!

I cracked on the ban!

I bought these shorts and a tank top from Reuhl.

I went back to Nordstrom again today.

I bought this jacket (its reversable) but both sides are the camel color.

I also bought this sweater in brown.

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

I'm still doing really good w/my shopping ban and only brought (things that AREN'T a part of my ban):

2 lipglosses from NYC New York Color from Wal-Mart ($1.94/ea.) - one lt. pink, and one a darker pink, still looking for the perfect PINK lipgloss for me! LOL

For Me magazine ($1.45 @ Wal-Mart)

Hot VWs (Volkswagens) magazine for my honey, since his 1st subscription of that magazine hasn't come in the mail yet ($3.99 @ Wal-Mart)

Missy Elliot's new CD (Best Buy for $14.99)

That's it.

Becca · Kate Spade

This Lilly dress for only $5! (Sorry so big!)

This Lacoste polo in hot pink for $10.

(These are the times it's worth working in retail!)

A pair of metallic goldish-silver flip flops for $20...couldn't find a pic anywhere and my dig cam is dead.

Been on a ban but couldn't help myself!

*Edited because I found a better pic of the dress!

My air-conditioning went out this weekend (that is a VERY big deal here), so I sought refuge at malls all weekend. I found a lot of great stuff at the Nordstrom sale, but nothing in my size.

I did get:

imogen knit jacket which is beautiful IRL and a lot more practical for our weather than the sweater/shrug thing that was not meant to be.

in ivory

for when I go back to work

<-- reminds me of the A&F one I meant to buy but didn't.

About a million pairs of sofees shorts from Sports Authority...Oh, and my husband & I decided we're going to start playing tennis, so we bought 2 tennis racquets.

Chic · Marc Jacobs

aclassicbeauty- are you serious?

Citranella · Nine West

All I bought this weekend was this cool map of Italy from 1880 from the Eastern Market and a couple of cute ponytail wraps, but I have a friend working at Nordstrom (20% discount on sale stuff!) and may get her to buy me a pair of Frye boots if I can convince myself they're worth it.

honey · Gucci

everyone got such cute stuff! i wish i lived near a nordstrom (but maybe it's a good thing i don't). after months of stalking i was finally able to pick up a pair of the target ballet flats in black & gold, so i'm happy.

jaymiek · Coach

I hit up the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, but only got a corduroy blazer for $32 from the BP section. I tried on a bunch of stuff but nothing really fit right.
Then at Urban I got a pink Rebecca Beeson tank for $5 and a pair of C.Ronson tooshies on sale for $6. I'm planning to go back and get more since they are really comfy and cute.
I also found a really cute cherry print umbrella at Gap. I can't resist anything with cherries on 'em.

edit: I just ordered some stuff from J.Crew. I checked out the store this weekend but the sale online was better. I got this dress for $40, it was marked down to $70 in the store.

and these silk charmeuse sash for $10 all with free shipping! if anyone is interested, the code is SAXV.

I just won these Salt works Avenue A jeans for $31 shipped on eBay. I have heard so many raves about these jeans so I hope they work out for me.

i got this on ebay for less than $10 (including shipping), and i'm still not sure what i'm going to do with it...i might be posting a thread about it soon!!!

i bought a painting from this artist a couple weekends ago, but i just got it back from the framer. i love his work, and this painting is similar, but IMO, i think mine is much nicer!! when i looked his stuff up online, i contacted a seller and bought ANOTHER painting (that's at the framer now). he gave me a great deal, and it's a beautiful painting that works well with this one, but definitely an "unexpected but seemed necessary" purchase.

since BCBG just got some really really cute fall stuff in, it's helped me steer clear of the sales (that i don't need to look at) and focus on the upcoming season. also, the bf's birthday is next week, so i have a couple expenses related to that.

just wanted to add that everyone else got some really really cute things!!

Hedvig · Coach

Great finds, everyone!

I ordered these embroidered slides. They looked so adorable I think I'll wear them everywhere, no matter how silly I look!

I also got Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, naturally! And a few lovely postcards from the shop at Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum here in Boston.
