Weekend Shopping

luckylily · Gucci

Cute stuff, bliss. Reminds me that I need to find some basic trousers.

I am on a brief reprieve from my shopping ban and picked up these things...

This sweater, which I won't be able to wear until next winter, but whatever.

This little cardi - so much prettier in person.

And this kimono wrap

I'm too in love with that kimono top but I can't get myself to buy it yet. I don't know what's stopping me.

dc · Dooney & Bourke

Oooh - cute stuff, girls!

I hope I don't buy too much more (you never know), but so far:

Vanessa the enabler turned me on to the 30% off code at Go Clothing, so I was powerless to resist and FINALLY ordered my antiks (yay!) - sorry the pic is huge.

This top from styledose (ebay seller), just because it's nice to have a black top to throw on:

This green beaded necklace from firoma (also ebay - love this seller!) to go with a little yellow floral smocked top I have.

I got these to be spring/summer sneakers to wear with jeans

a pair of black and white pinstripe pants on sale at BR

and st.tropitz self tanning lotion from sephora first real weekend off the shopping ban and it feels good.

Tati · Chanel

DC- I love your new jeans!

Hermes

love your buys, dc! loooooooooooove those jeans... Oh - and since you turned me on to firoma, I have a purchased a couple pieces as well

dc · Dooney & Bourke

thanks, Tati and detroit! Now to find a tailor who can do the hem re-attach thing so I don't lose the cool whipstitching when I get them hemmed (my inseam is no 34 inches!)

Detroit - I know, isn't firoma great? Good prices - I have like 4 or 5 things from him now. It's just fun summer stuff... and he's so nice.

yes - can't lose the hem on those! they are so cool... I wanna copy...

and the jewelry - it is just fun summer stuff - one of the necklaces I got is coconut rings and turquoise beads to wear specifically with my bikini - considering how little I paid and how casual it is it's fun to have it for beach jewelry...

Alikat · Kate Spade

I actually bought this stuff on Thursday

All Nicole Miller from Bluefly to wear my good friend's wedding, hopefully one will look good and the other two will go back.

Some UO wedges:

Ordered some ON to wear this summer (I'm dreading Sacramento heat ):

From Ebay for work:

cc · Marc Jacobs

I bought this on ebay. The chain strap might be annoying but I thought it would be cool for the spring and summer. It was a good deal and if I don't like it in person I can always relist it.

Hedvig · Coach

I'm hooked on firoma, too - thanks for the recommendation, dc! I just got these pretty little things from him:

I also got this chocolate brown top this weekend (along with a chocolate brown cord blazer for next fall) - so I also seem to be hooked on all things chocolate brown...

ETA: I also just bought this UO leather bag. Someone else posted it recently and it just stuck in my mind. It's just the kind of bag I needed.

amen to that.

gypsyfreak · Coach

I ordered these shoes in the gold and bronze. Couldn't make up my mind as to what color I wanted.

I have been lusting after those in gold for a while now. Let me know how they turn out.

Hedvig · Coach

Those shoes are absolutely gorgeous, gypsyfreak! I don't think I could decide on the color, either - both look great!

luckylily · Gucci

Thanks for all the nice comments about the kimono top, girls. I was a little bit on the fence about it, but now that I've tried it on at home I'm really excited. It works with so many different outfits, I think I'm going to get a fair bit of use out of it considering what a unique item it is.

dc: I'm so glad you decided to go w/ the Antik jeans. I finally saw them in person at Anthro and they are so hot!

I bought this after my first post.

I am now so back on the shopping ban. I need to save up for a little shopping in Vancouver at the end of the month - although it is not such a bargain now that the US $ is in the toilet. Anyway, please slap me upside the head if I buy anything in the next couple of weeks.

I ordered the shoes, so I'll give you a review when I get them. I'm a little worried that they will look cheap IRL or that the quality will be questionable, so we'll see. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
