Cute sweater, Maat!  It's beautiful!!!


I got two pairs of flats at the Gap because my feet are not happy with me for wearing heels so often.  So I got these two



and a pair of pink ballerina flats for $9.  I'm still slightly under my $100/month shopping limit, so I'm doing okay! 


I also got makeup w/ my Nordies gc:


Rain Showersstila smudge pot gel eyelinerin amethyst and black and an eyeshadow pan in Cloud:  Cloud (refill)


ETA:  Here's a pic of the pink ballet flats

Did you get them in the store or order them online? are they TTS? i'm watching a pair on ebay, but this is even cheaper. Also, i ended up sizing up 1/2 size on the Target ones - i wasn't sure if you tried them on or not so i could compare sizing?

Wow, you guys got beautiful stuff!


in a pretty turquoise color.  Already wore it and I love it.


much brighter IRL, more of a mango color


a grey tee--might return but I've been on the hunt and this was the best I have found


These in a light blue but I need to cut them some more, they are kind of long on me.

I got them in the store.  I couldn't find them online to show a picture.  They had VERY limited sizes though and I was really surprised to find an 8.  Anyway, they do run true to size.  I have the same Target ones as you and they fit pretty much exactly the same.  The bonus is that there is ever so slightly more padding on the bottom of the Gap ones, so they're a bit more comfy.  I'd definitely go to your store if you can and see if you can get them there.  BTW, they were towards the back of my store along with all the other sale stuff, not with the other shoes.  HTH!

They're pretty comfy from what I can tell.  I'll probably wear them some time this week, so I'll know a bit better then.  I'm usually a pretty standard 8, and that's what I got in these, so I'd say they run TTS.  They're a tiny bit pinched feeling in the toe area, but I think they'll stretch out a little bit and end up being pretty comfy.  They have a fair amount of padding in the sole too--not a ton, but enough so that it doesn't feel like I'm walking on bare concrete, like my Target ballet flats.  HTH!

Luckylily or trisarahtops, how does this shirt run?  Is it pretty true to size?  I'm thinking about ordering it once the shopping ban is over, but I don't know what size I'd get.  It seems like I'm right between a 4 and a 6 in Anthro tops and I'm a 34B, so I don't know what to get.  Ideas?  Does it have any stretch to it?

I am really sad and depressed this weekend - I just lost my grand dad and couldn't go home.... Anyway went crazy shopping today, thank god it was only at Marshalls and Ross

Bought 4 pairs of shoes:

1. Seychelles sandals in a cloth upper - very spring summery, white with a light green leaf pattern. $16

2. Brown Chinese Laundry Wedges $10

3. Caparros Emereld Green Silk Sandals - with bead work - very pretty - $18

4. Black knee high boots in leather- I am one of those skinny legged people who has never found a pair of boots that fit - leather uppers with a furry lining which helps with the fit $58
These are from a brand I have never heard of Mona Lisa - says Made in Italy - Anyone know anything about them?

Putting together BF's b'day fit of a Marguarita/Martini themed everything:

Margarita and Martini glasses

Cocktail Shaker - not sure if I'll keep it, still hunting for the perfect one

My fav buy was a set of olive spoons - which look like olive/cocktail picks but spiralled at the bottom(like a cup) - they can double as cocktail charms too since each one has a diff coloured stone bead at the top - love its multi purpose uses !


By the way I saw these shoes from Steve Madden at Ross in sizes 6-10 for $20. And the same in silver sizes 7-9

NC, I ordered a 4. I'm hoping that I'll be able to wear it open over a tank until after I have the baby and return to my prepreggo size. I've never tried it on though so I don't have any sizing info. However, I remembered that Christine has it and she posted about sizing.

Christine, love all of your Anthro buys! How does the s/s stripe shirt sizing run?



Thanks FP and Kim! FP, the sizing seems spot-on. For reference, I'm usually a small in tops at stores like BR and JCrew -- I tried on a 2, 4, and 6 of the Anthro shirt and chose the 2. The 4 fit well too but I chose the 2 because it had less fabric bunching up around my torso and back when I tied the bow. If I don't put it in the dryer, it should continue to fit well. HTH!

No, it doesn't have any stretch to it.  I found it to be pretty true to size.  I'm can usually go with either a 6 or 8 in Anthro Odille tops.  I went with the 8 because I thought the slightly loser fit looked better.
