I tried to get a bunch of basics so that I wouldn't have the damned Ron Herman credit hanging over my head. I didn't care for any of the clothes they had (or at least couldn't justify owning one super-gorgeous plum Vanessa Bruno shirt that was probably too sexy to wear to work) but I still made out with...
3 pairs of Havianas flips
Cosabella Soire demi bra (in nude)
and these Samantha Chang Hello Kitty undies
in the print of this cami
I also got this Juicy hoodie in olive green for $69 at Barneys.
OK so I was reading the latest issue of Shesheme and she was talking about SAD( Seasonal Affective Disorder), well I have it. After our ice storm in Atlanta, well then I decided it was time to go Spring Shopping, and boy do I feel better! Here are my purchases:
Also a pink bandana that has green in it too.. Ebay scores:
This it for web pics, and I will update with my own pics tomm.
I finally shopped! Express gave associates an additional discount this weekend so I bought a few items - more like a mini-spring wardrobe - from the spring collection (most of it is on www.expressfashion.com but I don't know how to post photos from there):
Tops: Turquoise/ivory/yellow/brown print silk chiffon cap-sleeved front-tie top Silk camis in coral and cream, very soft! Tunic-length silk cami in turquoise with ivory lace trim The short-sleeved pearl-button cardigan that's in this month's Marie Claire, in teal my favorite, a brown cardi-wrap sweater a la bcbg - looks hot with all camis and the shirt too
Bottoms: Plaid editor pants, cream with turquoise and rust plaid Light wash cetine jeans, which look surprisingly good on (thankfully we just got word we're going to be able to wear Express jeans to work now so I *needed* a pair) Brown circle skirt (still haven't tried on so it might go back)
Accessories: Coral earrings, white stone necklace, coral/pink/brown silk chiffon scarf
I love how everything matches, I think I can get at least a dozen outfits out of all I bought & I didn't even cross the 300 mark! I'm so proud of myself. All I need is those Marc flats and I'm set for a while! I'm liking this pseudo-ban... my purchases are so much better planned than they used to be.

chic -- that's exactly how i felt on thursday. all the crappy weather was getting to me and i just couldn't take it anymore. i had to shop, and it made me feel soo much better.
Ralph Lauren shirt like this, but in a pink and white seersucker:
this skirt:
and a fabulous pair of shoes- anne klein creamy oragne slide with a bubble-bauble thing (actually reminds me of the ring I want from that spacemermaid site) by the toe. I'll see if I and find a pic later.
Eveything was on sale, so all togeter I only spent about $150.
I decided to treat myself after slaving 50 plus hours a week at work for the past 3 months so I got this:
I received my order from Eluxury Friday with these items:
Plus at Express I got a pair of correspodent pants in a light brown color. I like the fit of these pants, they are bit higher on the waist, which it doesn't gap in the back like most pants do. I love the leg shape, it's kind of a trouser shape not a flare shape. I also got a pair of brown cotton editors with a white pinstripe. A couple of sweaters that have a cool tie sash thing, a few lace tanks, and a pink blazer. And of course, a pair of jeans.
OK, I'm trying to join the shopping-ban crowd...it's just not working very well!!!! But I'm really pleased with everything I got and I think I'll get a lot of use out of it all.
I got these in black. I can't wait to wear these, they are so comfortable and CUTE!!!
This in a pretty silvery-gray color. It was 50% at BCBG B&M, YEA!!!
The ON tunic in black, and these which I'm going to return because I just won't wear them enough to justify (they are really cute on, and suprisingly comfortable for ON)

Yep, I'm an employee and they got me too! I got the black skirt that Vanessa got in Coral, I also may be returning mine because I need to try on the whole outfit
I also got the long tunic cami in turquoise
Black and white polka dot sheer shirt, with tie front, and also in green and brown print
Today I bought a wallet at Robinson's May for $20 and silver earrings for $3 from Wet Seal. I really wanted to buy more (I need shoes and clothes for work) but the mall closest to me sucks so I didn't find anything. Maybe tomorrow. Here are some pix of my wallet and earrings.
I broke the shopping bad badly, but I bought some stuff I was sure I wanted. I already posted some of it but I will do it again:
Old Navy
BR
Walmart These pants are nice-much better looking in person that on the website. I couldn't believe I was actually looking at pants like this in Walmart.
Zappos--When I ordered them, they were $16.90 and now they have gone up to $26.90. Whew, I got them just in time.

I usually search thinks like quartz necklace, bold/ chunky gemstones, chalcedony, jade, etc. Then usually if I see something I like, or even sorta like, I'll check out the seller's other items and can usually find good stuff.
OK I GOT A JADE AND GOLD NECKLACE FROM WET SEAL, BIG BLACK SUNGLASSES, A SEQUIN SALINAS BIKINI, A PAIR OF BRONZE HEELS, A BLACK CHIFFON MINI AND A TURQOISE HORN NECKLACE!! WOW, DIDN'T REALIZE I GOT SO MUCH STUFF!
On friday night I got a green 3/4 sleeve French Connection sweater at Century 21 with several pairs of socks.
Today I tried on uggs thinking i was going to get them hated the way they looked on me so went into Sacco (www.saccoshoes.com) and found these on sale for $99 plus no sales tax
