AH! SO you have your eye on the doily vest I am selling, eh?
Won't be buying anything though. I must confess I spent $3,000 at Anthro right before and after Christmas. I am severely punishing myself now with no shopping until March. Ok, ok, I did buy three suits from JCrew and a few accessories for a trip, but I may not keep them all, depending on how they fit/look.
I ordered these boots earlier in the week and just got them today. They are actually more of a teal color than green and I love them.
Last week I bought the first pair of French Connection jeans. I love the fit and the colored pockets so much. I'm not really a jeans person but I decided I needed another pair so I ordered the second pair, which are similar but the fit and pocket design are different.
Yup, the truth is out. I am LUSTING over that vest! It would complete my whole "I'm an old librarian look".
Actually I had my eye on some Sephora cosmetics I just bought as well as a BR leather jacket.
Seriously I HAVE to be good, but as I said Ebay doesn't count. I'm watching this other adorable pair of shoes, boucle and multi colored, totally impractical but fun and cheap.
the shopping hiatus isn't going too well. i went to loehmann's and got this james perse shirt in white and black for $27 each. i was actually only going to get one, but when i went back to check the rack before paying, the black one had "miraculously" appeared. it was obviously a sign. also for you juicy fanatics loehmann's had a plethora of juicy stuff (velour, terry, fleece) at $50 a piece, and some were even an additional 20% off.
I spent the rest of my Christmas $$$. I'm officially on a shopping diet now.
I got:
Clinique gift set with:
Mario Badescu cleanser: (PS - they have the best CS. I emailed them to ask for more recs [not sure I loved everything they sent me before] and they are sending me more samples so I can be sure)
Stuff from the goclothing sale:
(but in a kelly green)
also...tanks in this color and
and classic tee in
(I realized today I already have tanks in the same shade of pink & green...but these are cuter. Plus they wer $7 )
oh, and which I love and am glad I ordered big.
--also, if I can ever get Zappos to get back to me on pricematching, I'm going to get this
because it's so cute IRL and it's $20.

Honey, you live in NJ, right? What Loehmanns do you go to? The Loehmann's by me sucks and they never have Juicy or James Perse or basically anything I would want to buy. I'm wondering though, if you go to the same one I do and I just miss the good stuff somehow.
I haven't bought anything yet. I have been on a shopping hiatus until I lose weight and it's spring. I do need to buy a cute top to go out tomorrow night and I need to buy a dress to wear to a wedding by this time next month.

i went to the loehmann's on 18th & 7th in the city. but i think that most loehmann's might have got the shipment, b/c the stuff wasn't picked over, so i'm assuming it had just come in. which loehmann's do you go to? is it accessible via public transportation? i actually prefer shopping in jersey since there's no tax. but it can be such a pain to get to plaeces w/out a car.
well, this shopping hiatus is just not happening for me either. got this michael kors trench in black yesterday (thanks for the advice girls, i decided to keep it.):
today, my wonderful boyfriend went to the mall with me and stood patiently while i tried on at least 20 pair of jeans (he even evaluated each one). i got these true religion bobbys in dark premium that i have been wanting forever:
i had a gift card from xmas to use for these.
seriously, we need a no shopping support group.
oh, also bought a pillow top feather bed, cute cami and underwear set, and a photo album to put all our house renovations pictures in.
