Drew, I briefly owned those MJs last summer when Saks had them for $150. They are super fab but my feet just couldn't handle them even the couple of hours I wore them at home, so they went back (the fact I bought three other pairs that day had a lot to do with it). But I still think they're beeeauutiful and they will be for years to come :) Congrats on the great buy!

Vanessa, I wish I would have seen these shoes last year. I barely paid over $100 so I still don't feel bad getting them a year later; hopefully they don't kill my feet. In other news I got my Kooba Sienna last night. I really broke the price barrier when buying it. My SO wasn't even upset, especially when we compared it to the quality of Coach (and the Kooba leather completely blows Coach's leather away). You have so many great bags though; I bet you aren't staring lovingly all day at yours like I am mine! :)
Hedvig- love the Orla Kiely bag. I lived in Ireland for a couple of years and use to buy a new bag from her every season. They're great quality and have such a distinctive look! The brown and orange on your bag is such a great combo!
I wasn't going to let myself buy anything this weekend, but I was bad. I only went to the mall looking for a going out shirt and stopped in at Express. They had some good sales going on in the store, including tunics. My weakness. I left with 2 shirts. Both $29.50, down from $49.50 (short sleeve) & $59.50 (longer sleeve).
I finally found Aerosoles Dollyannas! I just ordered them from Gotham City Online in the slate blue color for $30 shipped. I tried to go back on the link I found them to post the pic but they were not listed anymore, so I must have snatched up the last pair, which also happened to be in my size. I also stopped by F21 yesterday and got a white pleated eyelet skirt for $20. I'll be going to Gap later today to take advantage of the F&F coupon. I hope not everything is picked over by the time I get there.
I bought 2 going out tops from the Juniors Department at Nordstrom. They are the same top, but one in emerald and one in magenta. I'll take pictures later. I also bought a pair of earrings there.
Not really a purchase, but I went to the eye doctor and got a big bag of colored contact samples. None of them really look great on me because my eyes are too dark but my sister and I have had fun playing with them. She has the lightest blue eyes ever (My mom calls it ice water blue) so she's been wearing 1 purple and 1 turquoise all day... very natural.
I went car shopping too. Nothing purchased (yet) but there's a really good chance I might have a new car this Monday.
Nothing earth shattering for me...My Target finally had the crinkle camis and I bought them in blue, brown, and black. I really wanted pink, but they didn't have any. I bought The Kids in the Hall season 2 on DVD while I was there. At REI I bought some work out clothes w/ a gc I had.

if there is a charlotte russe near you (teeny-bopper store) they also have the crinkle camis and they're like 2 for $10. plus they have a bunch of summer colors.
Please proceed to yell at me if I even think about more shopping.
I went to the Fresh spa to get a facial, thinking that $125 credit on products would go a long way. It didn't...I never knew quite how expensive Fresh was.
two tubes of their thickening mascara, one for me and one for a friend...it's awesome stuff for really natural-looking lashes.
Then I got a sweater when I stumbled upon a boutique that was going out of business. It's an awesome pink and gray leoprad print zip up with a tulle collar and a patch on the back with a picture of a girl that says "When Teddy's Not Happy, Nobody's Happy". It's awesome...when my computer works again, I will post it in TS.
Also, I went to Zipper and got a boxed gift set of these for my friend who's getting married next month as a present in addition to getting them a gift certificate...they asked for GCs but I wanted to give something more since I think GCs are too impersonal. They smell awesome and they'll go well in their fruit-themed kitchen.
I also got a few of these blank cards...needed to stock up since I love love love the squirrels since they're my old school mascot. I'm giving two away as wedding cards to my college friends.
Whew! No more going to fun places for me. Only TJs and Costco until AFTER my b-day and trip to NY/PA/VA.
