I finally bought these shoes which I've been coveting forever:
I just received them and let me tell you they are HOT! They are my favorite pair so far this season. The snakeskin print on the wedge really makes them special. I sized up half a size so I could put a gel pad on the sole and they fit perfectly. I also got a price adjustment at express on some jewelry I bought that went to 3.99, so I got tons of money back! With that I bought a yellow lace trim silk cami and a beige shrug interwoven with gold thread. Very pretty! Last but not leat, and you might have figured from dc's post, I bought the antik western flare jeans, using the fabulous 30% off goclothing code. Same she got except I got the dark wash. And that's it! I got a complete outfit this weekend.

Well, no super cool jeans for me, but I did get 2 of the Chip and Pepper denim minis in different washes.
I also got luck on ebay and got:
Yay!! I wanted it so badly and I got it for a great price
I splurged on this puppy, but it was soooo worth it!! I wore it out last night with my Pink A pockets, a pink wife beater and my pink round toe David Aaron pumps and I felt like the belle of the ball:). Now I got have to figure out where to locate the sunglasses Nicole Ritchie is wearing in this pic!!
I got this cutie for $5!!!
I got it in tan. It was marked down to $19.99, but it rang up at $10, woo-hoo!!
I thought this was soo cute and it also rang up at $10!!
The only thing that I paid full price for, but I actually returned a skirt that was more than this top so it was free plus $30:)!!
Saturday night I was at home doing Stats homework and I had a crazy urge to buy one more thing so I finally splured on these beauties. I can't wait to get them. I am sure I will get my money's worth, yay!!

And finally I was in Nordstroms, and there was a special perfume education day so there was this wonderful French lady that showed me the new line of fragrances by Jean-Claude Ellena, the perfumer for Hermes. She let me try the five different perfumes and explained how each was made! It was the most luxurious experience ever. I got the Rose Poivree (Peppered Rose):
I've also got a sample of their Divine Bergamot (it is really divine)! Here is the site:

Farrah, I'm so glad you got that pink top. It rocks! I really love it. BTW, that's the exact picture I was trying to describe to you at woodfield the other day, with nicole wearing the white sunglasses I'm looking for too! I am on the waiting list for the coach ones, but who knows how long that will be....

I also used the goclothing code. They have some jeans on sale now and the code works for an additional 30% off. I got these Kasil and Salt Works for $161 shipped!
in chocolate brown (the chocolate brown one is not on the site anymore, but I called the closet BR to me -- 2 hrs away-- and they had the brown one) I absolutely CANNOT go shopping anymore until Fall. Please, someone slap me silly if I post anything else I have bought.

bex, Nicole's sunglasses aren't Coach. My guess is that hers are Chanel as it looks like there might be quilting on the side there. Check out this thread:
I posted the coach ones there because they are similar but in my opinion better (check out the cute yet subtle rhinestones on the sides, love 'em!). But they're sold out company wide. I'm on a wait list but who knows if they'll ever come in.... there's some on eBay going for a lot more than retail!

In a different color- the heel is just plain wood and the straps are this gorgeous bronze! looks like everyone's been getting wedge heels this weekend! And i got them for 30$ off.
kind of typical, but they're really comfy and go w/ like everything and were $30 soo..I had to.
OK, so I pre-spent my "extra" money that I will have from ebay sales & bought all kinds of stuff. this is one of those tshirts that will be a "go to" for me - I knew it as soon as I put it on, I'll grab it when I don't know what else to put on these fit me absolutely perfectly - how could I pass them up for $30? pretty gold color for $19.50 at Macys this shrug from Target & also an ivory crinkle lace tank this aqua top to wear with a black suit to a wedding this friday - more than i wanted to spend, but if fit perfectly. And I'm wearing these Carlos shoes that I already own & love!

vanessa:
thanks for the link to the posts... i checked online at Coach.com and couldn't find that style... however, the BP department at Nordie's usually has a HUGE pile of sunglasses and i am going to go there and see if i can find a pair of white ones! i can't bear to pay that much for sunglasses that i will immediately scratch, lose or break!
I got a pair of Alvin Valley black pinstripe pants 1/2 off at the sample sale out here. They're the same as my brown pinstripe ones and I know that they're going to be my other staple pair of work pants. I may get rid of my Editors, which don't fit me that well, and let these replace them.
I used the $30 worth of gcs I accumulated at the Bloomie's private sale to get THESE (and sweet talked a SA into giving me 15% off on top of that). I usually hate ankle tie shoes, but I kept these tied around my ankles and it still looks really cute.
Now I just need to glue them to my feet so I can wear them all summer long.
awww, man. i was doing so well. then i went downtown to return something and sephora was calling my name... damn. here's what i picked up:
i have been using proactiv (switched over to the so-called gentle formula) and my skin just can't take it- i still think it's way too harsh. i decided to go for an all-natural cleanser to give my skin a break from all the chemicals. hope it works!
in kyoto, a very cool green- my favorite eyeliner because it brings out the green in my eyes.
i reeeaaaally need to clean my makeup brushes more often, so i bought these wipes. i'm so lazy...
stopped in forever 21 too (bad!!). i managed to restrain myself and only buy one top. mine is green with gold detailing.
