Memorable Shopping Day (^_^)!

among our little crew, two happen to be the best behaved little shopaholics in training ;P they were patient, completely interested in everything we looked at, tried on, whined about wanting.

the two girls (codename "chicktucky" *their codenames the boys gave for reasons unknown?*) kept themselves preoccupied window shopping with us
*thanx for the ADORABLE pics you took that day, K!*

my lil sis asked dad & [my stepma] for a Louis Vuitton accessoires purse/pouch *gasp*

i took her to LV & showed her the pouch (as i looked in store for my own selfish reasons)..

but now my lil' sis is HOOKED on LV and wants one for her bday. ouch for dad's bank account huh?

i spy chicktucky at peete's coffee :D

Moving on..

look what i scored at target by mossimo?? puffy sleeved cardigan (on sale!)

Ruffled T-Strap Maryjanes in Red, 1950's Retro Style Pumps, $49.00 (fits true to your size!)

my VERY random WANTS.

it may be hard to picture this lingerie set w/the pumps, but somehow in my random thinking (inside my head), i feel like this would make a CUTE outfit, walking around your house in the heat of summer hell just for fun. trade in the flip flops, shorts n' tee or tank for this, for just one day. while your boyfriend is visiting, staying over, *helping* around the house?

i just love this, it's a fun piece :) perfect for your next 4th of july bbq in your backyard!!

i lOve this purple trenchcoat. i want, want, want it! and it's on sale. at plasticland!

i. need. these. cute vintage looking maryjane pumps.

i'm a sucker for cute summer dresses that remind me of the kinds of dresses i wore at nine years old :)

this high heeled open toe platform patent pump in this seagreen color looks hideous maybe by itself, but i think it'd look sexy with a cute top, skinny black jeans or tights and voila. i die for these too. well, not die for them. they're $42.00. i can budget for them :)

i would lOve to have these types of platforms in all colors available.

of course i'm loving this Treesje Turner Bag in pumpkin i think is the color?

i decided i want this vintage style button up jacket too. would look SO cute w/dark wash jeans and either cranberry flats, OR, black flats.

again, another summer dress i love that i could wear now, but is reminiscent of my childhood days. just love that vintage look..

for summer.

NEWS FLASH: retail therapy WORKS!

So, a friend and I had unexpectedly ended up at Nordstrom today. We were supposed to put blinders on and just walk through Nordie's and go straight to parking lot after taking advantage of the great deals at Old Navy and Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual sale, which ends Sunday. We were too weak. I think subconsciously we parked at Nordstrom for a reason. After deciding we would hit Starbucks and go home, we ended up at Nordstrom...for two hours~!

But look at what I scored today!!!

And to justify my purchases (in my head of course).. I must remind myself I deserve it because I've decided NOT to get the GUCCI bag or any other bag; to just be happy with the bags I have and put them to good use ('til Xmas or my Bday month) ...and since I just SOLD a Louis Vuitton item of mine...I have extra spending ca$h :D

Justified? Yup, Check :)

So, about the dress below. I was able to fit myself in this Junior's dress (I know what was I thinking shopping in the teenaged girls section?? I'm NO teenager - BUT - miraculously the dress fit, it was cute, and best of all? It was on sale!)

*all images below of items I purchased from Nordstrom dot com*

so you can buy online if you don't have a Nordstrom local to you :)

or go to your local Nordstrom tomorrow to get good sale prices :D

Fire Belted Maxi Strapless Junior Dress, $42.00

(see, $120 cheaper than the one I got at Macy's)

Nadri Bezel Necklace in Rhodium, LOVE this necklace :D

TOYWATCH, crystal & metal collection in Rose Gold

Sadly, I contemplated getting these GUCCI sunglasses, but ultimately decided against it. My sunnies are still functional...and are almost new...so decided to save here.

But aren't these "GUCCI Oversized Sunglasses gorgeous??", *sighhh*

Callisto "Jordi" Sandal, sooo worth the price.
- rows of sparkly rhinestone
- napa leather
- cushioned thong for comfort
- made in u.s.a.
need i say more??
$64.95
i bought black, but they do have them in white & silver.
but the black went with maxi dress best (as pictured)

As soon as I came home, I put maxi dress in handwash cycle and placed in dryer, tumble dry low, and VOILA, my outfit is ready for tomorrow to celebrate July 4th. YAYYYY. I'm SO ecstatic. Now I've gotta decide which bag. RM MAB, perhaps?
