STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I still don't know how to post pixs from Forever 21 -

I bought the black polka dot shirt the girl has on on the front page of the site - I can't find it in the inventory
www.forever21.com

And this shirt but in an aqua / brown print.

Taking a stab at new mascara:

It's hot as hades in Silicon Valley--112 today outside of Valley Fair. The media advised people to go to the malls or movie theaters. Valley Fair had people lined up against the walls, sitting on the floor, just breathing. (It's only 109 at our house. We are not used to this kind of heat. Where are the ocean breezes? Where's the cold fog?)

Not much in the mood to buy winter stuff. I imagine Nordstrom was getting a few more customers!

We bought DH some Tommy Bahama shirts and shorts. I've almost got him convinced it's time to clean out his closet, a la What Not to Wear.

So it's 100+ degrees outside and I'm buying stuff to wear for fall already...
From Gap:


and and another one in navy/white

I got some clothes for my upcoming Egypt trip, some skirts and loose fitting linen and cotton things.

For real life, I got some fall stuff too, although it was WAY too hot to be trying on sweaters and stuff...

and a couple of shirts to wear with suits

Then I hit Nordstrom's sale and went crazy

I got these in wine:

I got these, but  I think I might return them:

and some workout stuff and shirts in the BP department.

This picture doesn't do it justice...It's the sofest leather ever, lined in super soft suede.

This dress has a white bird embroidered on it, with white contrast stitching on the belt and hem.  It's actually a cowl neck with gorgeous seaming, although you can't tell in the pictures.

And a beautiful Wendy Hil white Grecian dress that I plan on wearing with a brown woven leather belt.

I also couldn't order these online so I just called the customer service number from the website and they found a store for me and connected me.  I ordered them on a Mon. and got them Wed.  HTH!

I did similar except I went to the actual store  they didn't have my size but they tracked them down and ordered them

Just a few things I needed for my trip to NYC:

 and

(in teal - I'm taking off the tassles)

for walking around town - big enough for a book, a map, a bottle of water, and my other junk I usually carry. I wanted a cream or white bag but since I have limited funds, I had to make due with these.

I also grabbed another pair of cheapo sunglasses, since I was there and they were on sale:

Oh and I got a dress for the wedding. I was dubious at first but my friend insisted we try JCPenney (since all my $$$ are going to the trip itself) and I found a knock-off of this BCBG dress for about $50:

Although thrifty, it was an excellent weekend for buying all the "have to haves" before I leave next month. Now I just have to plan the rest of my wardrobe...
