waiting for the sephora sale is killing me so i had to do some shopping.
i got my parent's gift. i was totally laughed at by my co-workers, but i don't care, i think my parents will really like the gift. i got them the fruit of the month club. they work a ton still and always complain about hating to cook/grocery shop for just two of them and they both eat really healthy...plus, it's not like in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and i'm getting them the jelly of the month club!
i got myself these babies thanks to zeitgiest4's post:
and these shoes...

Earlier in the week, I ordered this dress for an upcoming wedding and these pj pants as another xmas gift for my boyfriend. Of course after I placed an order, they updated the sale section with the jacket I've wanted forever, on sale + an another 30% off. So I just ordered that too.
aren't they beautiful?! thanks ladies. i returned some C.Louboutin shoes this summer because they were too knocked off and i never replaced them. i just couldn't get these out of my head. so i had to go for it.
i was about to post about Christmas attire for a "not sure if it's dressy or casual" christmas, but i bought this dress, so i hope it works out...

Oh, I love this! And it's perfect for an up-in-the-air on dressy/casual event.

Since I'm on a self-imposed shopping ban as far as personal shopping goes, I'm going to try to hold myself accountable by posting every single thing I buy for myself from here on out. Maybe it will make me think twice? I just got a pair of Frye Campus boots and a J Crew charcoal peacoat on top of these but this is supposed to be IT for the month of November. I really am trying, promise, but I NEEDED these!
i think i am going through shopping withdrawl. i was super good for a couple of months and now i seriously want to shop. i bought these as gifts, but it took everything in me not to buy shoes from Lori's or a bag from Active Endeavors (which are soooo beautiful IRL).
it's a mini Sears tower for the bf.
for some family members.
the empire state building for my NYC friend
for my friend who studied abroad in paris.
they're much larger and substancial IRL.
