I blew all my giftcard money this weekend - here's what I got:
* This in a cheerful green color
* In black, minus the sash
* In a super cute pink/purple herringbone - perfect for spring!
*A creamy-yellow beaded cardi from ON - looks vintage and much more expensive than it actually is.
*Another s/s angora tie sweater from ON in black (no pics, sorry!).
*Two pairs of my favorite Jordach jeans - One in a super-dark rigid wash in a trouser style, and another in a light wash with a wider leg and slightly shorter inseam (perfect w/sneakers)
*A new comforter (yay!). It's beige with a red/brown pinstripe pattern. Also got red and beige pillowcases and a red beskirt and chenille throw.
*Red and beige shower curtain/towels/rugs for the bathroom.
*Green strutcured hobo bag.

not much shopping for me. inspired by farrah, i'm trying to limit my spending until at least feb. and all items were purchased before 1/1/05, so i'm still in the clear.
a wrap like this but in fuschia on sale at wet seal.
and this coat to tide me over until i get the one i really, really want. (which will hopefully be soon.)
I didn't buy any clothes, but I bought some makeup at Sephora while in Vegas. They were giving free makeovers and a gift with purchase of hard candy and urban decay. I bought:
No shopping for me-- I am on hiatus until Spring Break week--I hope I can last that long. I don't want to buy anymore winter stuff. I am saving my Christmas $$ for Spring stuff, although it feels like Spring here now. It is supposed to be 76 tomorrow. I can't believe it.
Went to Bloomingdales and wasn't really looking for anything but ended up getting some Bobbi Brown lip gloss in black cherry. I'm still reeling after spending $165 on jeans that I didn't really need (but now love!) last week...
Ross(discount store, like Marshalls) is having a big clearance sale, so I got these: ( sorry no pics all by polo ) *white tee with navy polo $9.99
*pink tee with green polo $9.99
*white cable knit sweater with navy polo $29.99
*light pink cable knit polo sweater with yellow polo $29.99
*light blue slim fit oxford $19.99
*lilac slim fit oxford $19.99
*then some really comfy Rachel Pally knockoff black gauchos(sp?)
Then while I was in Palm Beach I bought a green bikini with pink polos on it for $39.99. I am all "Polo"ed out now, and I am not allowed to buy anything for a while with a polo on it, but I love it and at least they are classic.
The best though was my Dad gave me these as a late x-mas present:
The Carmen Electra Fit to Strip DVD and Bohemian Manifesto by Lauren Stover (I flipped through this at Anthropologie and found it amusing) on Amazon (yay free shipping! My total was $25.90.)
This holiday underwear from AE:
the yummy gingerbread tank-
and some cute holiday decorations (candles, ornaments, and a large Tidings of Joy hanging banner for only $17) and a European postcards desk calender for really cheap from Anthropologie.
I went to the mall on fri and couldn't find a single thing I liked enough to buy and my mom was even offering to buy me something! I ended up buying the shirt I posted about last week Fri night and now I'm on a shopping hiatus until April I hope. I'm going to try and support Farrah and the other girls on here trying so I'm going to try too! Hopefully I'll save a bunch of money or at least not sweat paying for my books in March when the bill comes due.
I dragged my bf to the mall to do some returning and exchanging and someone found myself in Neimans
I got a pair of Chanel shoes that I have been drooling over forever - on sale. They had them in one of the fall issues of Lucky. They are pale pink accented with black with a rounded toe and an ankle strap. They are fabulous! I also got a pair of Anne Klein dark green velvet high heeled peep toes.
I also got some clear bins from Target so I can attempt to organize my closet.
