Just a fun 'sharing' thread.

I just bought this Jacket and the matching pencil skirt (suit). It's really well made and perfect for fall and winter. Plus it was ON SALE!

http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/3114441

And I bought these shoes which I ADORE. I already have them in the grey, but they were so comfy (the leather is divine and its well padded and the heel is just the blend of chunky and sexy) I wanted them in black too (even though the grey ones are admittedly prettier). Only thing is the heel cap does come up (review is accurate) but I was prepared and just had the cobbler fix the issue. I got them for 60 a pair with all the discounts that added up. So I didn't mind the trip to the cobbler.

http://www.shoes.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=EC1045298&pg=5041838 Black

I also picked up this cute tank from Old Navy for under the suit in black (they only had black, I really wanted one of the other colors but beggers can't be choosers!) . Saw ones just like it for 50 bucks at the mall. 6 bucks on sale. Love that. http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=55409&vid=1&pid=792414&scid=792414032

What have you gotten yourself recently? Post links if you've got them.
 
Cute stuff Gypsy!

I bought myself a pendant.

Haven't done much shopping before or since, but am about to go shopping at some discount stores this week because I really need clothes as I've lost weight and have nothing that fits me for colder weather.

Why do I have a feeling this thread is going to be enabling? :cheeky:
 
This jacket in emerald green:

I bought myself some goodies at Target last week to celebrate the upcoming cold season.

- A pair of red flannal pajama pants. They are SOOOO comfy.
- A pair of sock monkey slippers (adorable!)
- A super cute grey sweater hat
- A black wool hat with some feathers, for dressy occassions
 
Things are a little lean chez nous so nothing to report here, except...
I bought a new dinner set (crockery) when we moved in and I was out last weekend and saw the matching apron :love: , it was only €8 but I love it, it even has frills!
 
coconut cream pie and I'm home alone with it :lickout:
 
I love those shoes Gypsy!
 
I bought the boots in my boot thread. Three scarves that I can't find pictures of online. A blowdryer to replace the one I lost on vacation and:

This sweaterdress, that looks a lot like a dress I used to own & LOVED. Not sure about it but figured I'd give it a go.

Another pair of these cords that are so comfie I never want to take them off. I had "taupe", I got "grey".
http://www.lanebryant.com/corduroy-bootcut-pant/p66882/index.pro

This black peacoat ... nicely finished inside but a little quick to attract white cat belly hair.
http://www.target.com/Plus-Size-Mer...ction/dp/B0045DEEO6/ref=sc_qi_collection_item

This sweater, way oversized, in charcoal gray ... it feels just like my JJill ones but cheap!
http://www.target.com/Plus-Size-Mer...m_brand-bin&searchRank=salesrank&frombrowse=1

But one of my fave purchases was this random necklace I found in a store I never go to. Much cuter in person.
http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat90050&productId=0482_1419

I also snapped up two other super cheapie necklaces that looked like Anthropologie finds. One @ American Eagle ($2!) and one at Target ($4).

Fun thread!
 
I bought jewelry from the clearance racks at Target last night. I know, I know. Target. But . . .

They are real gemstones, in 14K over sterling. And I bought matching necklaces to go with. They were 76% off the original retail, which made them CHEAP!!!!

And these:

Cool, Holly. You know ... for a while there I was sitting cross legged on the floor of a Target super perusing their clearance jewelry & feeling like a total FOOL! But there was so much *on trend* stuff for dirt cheap! I felt like I was in some kind of alternate dimension or something. Now I know I wasn't imagining it! (Still a fool for popping a squat, but .. )
 
Funny thing is, Target.com doesn't have these puppies on sale! I got $40 and $50 necklaces for 12.48 and 9.98 last night. $25 and $40 earrings for 6.48 and 7.98!

Here's necklaces: The cluster chain that I have matches the pearl/cluster earrings in color. This photo is a lighter colored version.

I added them up to find that I had paid about $37.00 for $155.00 in jewelry. S-u-hweet! :bigsmile:
 
Deco, I love the sweater dress! It's going to look great with your new boots! And Gypsy, those shoes are awesome!

I recently did some well-deserved clothes shopping...here's a couple of the things I got...
http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=60783&vid=1&pid=784042&scid=784042012 in the camel color
http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalo...aultColor=Otter Brown&defaultSizeType=Regular
http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalo...ltColor=Tropical Sand&defaultSizeType=Regular
http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalo...faultColor=Taffy Pink&defaultSizeType=Regular

And lastly....on a total whim I bought this locket from Tiff's with the 30" long beaded chain....can I tell you that I absolutely adore it. I put my son's pic in it. It is so special! WIth the 30" chain it looks very sassy too!
http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Ite...r+101323338-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+locket&search=1

edit - oh, and I bought some jeggings from Old Navy as well!!!
 
Wow. I was all happy to be coming in here to say that I got a Scentsy candle warmer. Wow, I kinda suck!

Oh well, I do really like it. I've mixed the vanilla suede and baked apple scents and it smells delicious.
 
I bought these Uggs recently:

They are loud and over the top and I really love them. I actually didn't expect people to compliment them as much as they have. I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of people that stop to tell me they like them every time I wear them :) It makes me happy. I also bought them in black.

I also just got this Lululemon tote as one of my birthday gifts. Its puffy nylon fabric :love: Its big enough to fit a lap top and books in it which will be awesome for nursing school.

I got these at Target as well. I've got some casual suede brown gloves, but had nothing upscale to match my best coat.

Thank you, Lizzy!!!! I'm really in love with them hahaha, I don't like taking them off!

that is their height :) let me go put my jeans back on and take a picture of the black ones. I think I like the beige ones better because there is a contrast between the fur and the boot. The black ones are black/black...give me one sec :Up_to_something:
 
You guys just reminded me that I bought a peacoat at Costco. Wool, Calvin Klien Double Breast in a nice medium grey that shouldn't show every single cat hair. No pics though, it isn't on their site. The buttons were ugly but I just bought new ones (late a night from GERMANY of all places, I really shouldn't google with paypal after 1AM) that are kick arse and will take the class of the coat up a few notches. Right now it's look a little casual and work is professional dress. But I can't get a black wool coat. I have a ginger and white cat, a white cat, two black and white cats and a a grey and white cat. Guess what they all have in common? WHITE fur.

T-gal it might have been a while since you bought anything but when you go out lady, you go all out. I adore your pendant, you know that. Nordstroms has become my go-to for clothes. Neatfreak came over and helped me do a closet clean out (YEARS over due) and we donated, threw out, or maked for consignment 90% of my clothes. And the 10% we kept was almost all from Norstroms, plus a few wool slacks from Talbots (some of their stuff is frumpy but their wool slacks fit me perfectly)

That looks so snuggly asscher is me! I bet it's gonna be a kitten favorite!

Pink Tower, that's gorgeous! I love it. And in green!

Haven, super cute accessories. And I LOVE PJ's. They are some of my favorite things to buy!

Steal, I bet your apron makes you smile every time you put it on though.

Thanks Masie. I got lucky with them. Usually my online show excursions end up in returns but these are made for my feet and I love the retro vibe of them.

I like the cords Deco, I've been thinking of getting a pair in like a beat up navy color as an alternative to jeans. I also really like the necklace!

Holly those are so much fun! And a good deal. Heck can't ask for more!

Lizzy, cute cardigans! I love Grosgrain! And the locket, beautiful! And a classic must have.

Matata is the winner though. Gotta say. Mmmmm... all alone with kitties and pie. Sounds like heaven.


Yes, this is defintely an enabling thread.

You rock! I hear you on the contrast in color though! I have the black and dark camel colored classic tall uggs and I wear the dark camel more often.

Just saw your black photo...they are so freaking adorable!!!!

The black ones are the bomb! And I don't even like Uggs! Cute, cute, cute!
 
I'm probably going to sound reallllly boring.

Here's what I bought over the weekend (mostly to replace what was in my car when it got jacked).

*Denise interchangeable knitting needles

*About a gazillion skeins of yarn for various projects, including this stuff in five different colors. I'm going to make mittens/gloves. Amazing colors. http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Palette_Yarn__D5420132.html

*Book of knitting stitches- I live on the edge, I know.

*New Dennis Lehane book for my Kindle.

*New bag to cart my knitting projects around. Like this, but MUCH better pattern and in gray background with lime green and white print. http://www.michaels.com/Creative-Couture-Carry-All-Traveler/nw0427,default,pd.html


I really need new black flats. I like a ballet flat in a patent leather the has a bit of pattern to it so that they aren't too shiny. The current pair I have are Calvin Kleins. They are getting near the end of their life, so if anyone as seen some good ones, please link!

I got the beige ones a little dirty on the boot...any tips for cleaning? Actually, I lied...SO kicked my foot and got them dirty. :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire:

Thank you :))))) The black is a little more subtle.

No way, really? I thought most people would like the beige better! Thanks Holly!

P.S. I LOVE Target.
 
oh, I also got a Christmas tree! My old ones got killed by the great poop flood that was my basement this past summer. It's one of the "cashmere" trees. It has 3 different looks on the branches and it is the closest to real I've ever seen!


I usually don't care for uggs, but those are CUTE!!
 
Candles are always a good buy. Smells make you happy and relaxed.

EB... I love this sweater. Hope there is another sale soon at Gap cause I'm wanting one. In purple or green. :love: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=13651&vid=1&pid=789196&scid=789196082 I'd have to try it on in the store though. I've got huge arms and one of the complaints about the sweater is the armholes.

AN I'm usually not a fan of Uggs but those are super cute!

Holly I can never keep my gloves paired. But I can't throw away my singles in case I find the mate. Fortunately in Nor Cal, not a great need for them, but man when we lived back east, it used to drive me nuts!

April, I like Bloch London Flats and ColeHann. They are my go to brands. You also might be able to find something similar to your current ones on some of the discount shoe sites (I forget what the Zappos outlet is called but they usually have some nice shoes).
