RE: Weekend shopping!

joy0302 · Kate Spade

I went to the mall to buy boots, but instead I got sidetracked and came home without what I went for.

Chocolate I ordered these online because they didn't have my size at the store.

Then I went a little crazy at Express. They have alot of cute stuff right now.

I got this one in blue

and this one in white. I also got a really cute purple sweater, but it is not online yet. Now I have to be good for a few weeks!!

lsubatgirl · Gucci

Collette - what brand of jeans are those. I am about to buy some new ones and those look nice.

Becca · Kate Spade

theotherjess - It's the one with all the coral pieces on it. Here's a pic I took.

Lynnie - I bought it from Belk. I know the coral bags are on sale pretty much everywhere. All my dept store has left is this shape, which I didn't particularly care for, which is why I bought the one with the rope handles, but you may like this one. I'm not sure the price on this one since I wasn't looking at it, but I can find out if you want.

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

So far, and I still have tomorrow (Sunday), just a LARGE CHUNK black ribbon-tie necklace ($7.99 from Rave) and a Hanes capri body enhancer ($6.99 from Hanes), from the Outlet Stores in San Marcos. I ordered these earrings from QVC ($23.92 - Ross-Simons Sterling Diamond Accent Half Hoop Earrings) on Aug. 12th, they arrived in the mail today, and I PROMISE YOU - they look MUCH better than the pic. off their website.

Anthro didn't have this shirt I wanted in my size online or the store

curly turtleneck

.... but I made up for it with some other stuff

calypso wrap skirt only $40!

And also from Anthro, a coral colored bed-jacket/bolero type thing for only $14.95

From Forever 21, an ivory lace cami

From Gap, a turquoise braided belt, $8.99

And I just ordered these shoes online:

They were still $48+tax in stores, but I got them for a total of $27 online, including tax and shipping.

ILoveChoo · Hermes

these wew a total impulse buy, but are the most eautiful shoes I have ever seen. They are so rich looking IRL.

curly turtleneck in a pretty berry color. I tried it one for size since they were out of the blue and liked it even more!

2 skirts not on the anthro website:

1) deep blue just below knee. sort of full but not too much and pleated at the top. The bottom is covered with a pale blue embroidery- kind f scandenavian looking. It is beautiful- I'll have to take a pic later. And even better- it rang up 50%!! total surprise.

2)pink and olive full skirt. has some big pink flowers on the bottom. You've probably all seen it, but it was on sale for $25 and think I can work it for fall with boots and a chunky sweater. (actually I tried it on this way when i got home and FH told me I look like a model. )

no more shopping for me for a while. I fell in love with the slouchy frye's and need to save up for them. they are a milion times cooler IRL, but so darn expensive!

I adore those Jim barnier boots! If I may ask, how much and where is the anthro outlet?? I didn't know they had one.

Thanks Lynnie (and aclassicbeauty)! There is a store called Jeremy's, it's in Berkeley, CA. It is an outlet for both Anthro and Jcrew. There's also some "salvage" there from more expensive brands like Chanel, Prada, the like - all of the salvage items are damaged somehow, but the Anthro items are not. The prices are 20$ and up. The Jim Barnier boots were expensive - 100$, but they were seriously discounted (not sure how much they cost retail but I would guess 350+), and I had brown boots on my fall wishlist. I love them. There was a review of a different style on Stylediary a while ago:

And they can be seen in all their gorgeousness on the Jim Barnier site (click on "the lace group"):

We got our quarterly bonuses this week...I should have put it all in savings, but oh well...maybe next quarter!

TJ MAXX:

(Their jewelry dept is really good! I never looked in the jewelry dept before (I've always had a shoes, rugs, lingerie and bags/luggage only view of TJ Maxx).

These earrings (they aren't these exactly, mine are brown where these are pink, but they are the same style/Israeli designer Orit Schatzman):

This necklace:

Two pair of stud earrings by YAM (a husband/wife team of Israeli jewelry designers). One pair are blue quartz squares and the other are champagne colored quartz circles (wish I had pics of these because they are gorgeous, look right out of sundance, but only cost $14.99!).

This Carry-on:

A fold out makeup bag with handles and zipper (it's green with purple swirls). Looks kinda vera bradley, but in a good way.

Turquoise BCBG sweater jacket (like this one... http://cgi.ebay.com/BCBGMaxazria-Turquoise-Sweater-NWT-M-Medium-210-BCBG_W0QQitemZ5417902677QQcategoryZ63866QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).

GAP Outlet:

Teal crewneck sweater with buttons on one shoulder

Eggplant crewneck sweater with buttons on one shoulder

Dark Teal tissue scoop neck l/s tee

Dark Teal, Eggplant, Black and Chocolate Brown stretchy turtlenecks.

BEAUTY STORE:

BORDERS:

NINE WEST:

Black Stiletto Heels

Brown "Cowboyish" boots. They look like a cross between cowboy boots and regular boots (I just don't think I could pull off "real" cowboy boots).

ADORAMA:

Ordered this stuff last week and it came in today:

Holga Soft Surround Color Filter Set. Holga Four Color Filter Set for Color or Black & White Film.

Holga Split Image Multi-Image Filter Set.

Holga camera & filters. Can't wait to use this and see what photo masterpieces I can create...

Lilykind · Hermes

Went shopping with crystal and esquiress, so I went off the ban today. Back tomorrow...but I didn't buy anything that wasn't filling a gap in my wardrobe and I was super-fussy. I even put down a few pairs of shoes because I knew I didn't really 'need' them although the old me would've bought them up.

Forever 21 (this place is much easier to deal with when there's people with you!)

I liked the embroidery and I think it will look good with cuffed dark jeans. It's nice and warm too.

Multi-stone necklace

I can't wait to start working with this grey fedora!

Arden B.

for salsa.

Ummm and these (for $30!) if the idiots at Robinsons May can find the match to the right shoe on the clearance rack!

janey831 · Kate Spade

kisa · Dooney & Bourke

I got this shirt I have been obsessed with:

And this thingy for my best friend! I am so excited about this because she really wanted it and yesterday the anthro website was sold out. I checked this morning and they had 1, and it happened to be in her size! Woo!

Cat, your two boyfriends t-shirt is so cute!

and my mom bought me a Olympus digital Camera left camera image

and a Dirt Devil vaccuum b/c our old vaccum kicked the bucket. Which sucks b/c our new house has Vaccu-flow but we don't move in for almost 2 months so we needed a new one in the meantime.
