Okay, I really got these purchases last night, but I'm going to be gleaming about them all week since they were good finds.
I have been stalking this picture at Jo-Ann fabrics for four weeks now. It's 31x37" (including frame) so you know how big it is. It's so perfect for my living room! The sky and water pick up on the sky blue color of my couches, and I like it since I like imagining myself at the place in the painting. So the price tag says $99.99 and I have a 40% off coupon so I thought I was going to pay $60 for it. The lady rings it up and it was $25! I was like holy crap that is so cheap! And she didn't even use my coupon yet! I walked out of there only paying $15 for it! So glad it wasn't marked as on sale or it wouldn't have been there.
Look what I found on allposters.com. The same thing framed from them is $180.87!
Next door is the dollar store so I picked up a set of 4 lime green ceramic dinnerware. I think I will go back and grab two more so I will have enough for 6.
Also at the dollar store were these. I thought they would look nice in my family room. I still can't believe they were only a dollar as well!
My last stop was Target and I got this little pillow that I have been wanting for a two weeks now. Matches my colors, plus I really needed some type of pattern.
Last week I received a letter from Saks apologizing that they were unable to fulfill my order because they were sold out of my Burberry flats. I don't get how the computer says available, I do a charge send, and then I get nothing! Since then I've been stalking the neimans site hoping my size would reappear. I just checked and it was there! I checked out as quickly as possible. Looks like it was the last pair because now it isn't showing up available. Let's hope I actually get my shoes this time!
Again...

CarrieS it's funny I was going through this really fast and wasn't looking who posted what and I got about 1/2 through your post and went "Oh this must be CarrieS" Your style is unmistakeable.

I ordered my home gym from the NordicTrack store. I decided to go with the 360.
I was at the outlet mall so I decided to look around for a blue bag since I've been wanting one. I did a lot of shopping this weekend so I decided to go cheap and got one at the Gap. It's exactly like this one but turquoise. I also got a pair of lounge pants. They had tons of cute stuff so if you live near an outlet I suggest checking it out.

My AE Rewards coupon FINALLY showed up today, so (after much ordeal-I'm exhausted from it), here's what I ordered :
I got my coupon too. I checked in there a couple days ago, now that I have my coupon, nothing really is calling my name. I've already done so much shopping, that I don't need anything. They were too late with the coupon! It's good til' the end of February, so maybe I will find something I like and need before it expires.
Got these from Zappos -Isaac Mizrahi for $21.95 and they were the last pair!
(Normally this isn't a color I'd buy shoes in but I anticipate working at a law firm this summer and I have a couple dresses/skirts they'd go with - and who can beat the price?)
And I would advise you to both put some kind of leather protectant/scotch guard on it, and not to carry it when you're wearing a light-colored top. The color rubs off something fierce!

Elle, thanks for the warning! I haven't carried it yet because I figured that fading would be a problem. I have another suede bag from the Gap from last summer and it ruined one of my white tops. Does the protectant keep the color from bleeding or does it just prevent staining?
They are this season's dollyannas/holly pitchers called the Metinee. They are 58.95 at Nordstrom's.
