only two feet

I went a little crazy.. Okay. Not just a little. A lot. A lot a lot.

When I arrived at HB's house after my frenzy, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he opened the door to see my arms full of shopping bags.

It was the Duet Spring Warehouse Sale between two of my favorite neighborhood boutiques - Posh on Main and La Ree. I stood in line in the rain for this sale. And it was soooo worth it.

Do you not love these rosy gold Loeffler Randall Celery flats? $50 (orig. $400)

They'll be perfect for my trip to San Francisco in a couple weeks.

Next I have these delicious Marc by Marc Jacobs. So these aren't necessarily my style but I saw them from the window and knew I had to have them.

I had to have them even more after some Russian lady snatched 'em from behind when I was trying to squeeze through the crowds. I kept my hawk eyes on her while I continued hording shoes to try on. All was nearly lost when I overheard her saying that she really liked them. But minutes later, I saw her without them in her arms.

I quickly turned back to the racks and there they were! YES. MINE. $50 (orig. $400)

Simple and cute - really a staple in any wannabe fashionista's closet. Jewel tone Pedro Garcia flats! I grabbed the dark blue ones. $50 (orig. $325)

And finally my splurge. Chloe.

$150 (orig. $740)

Mango was there too and picked up the same Chloe heels and Marc by Marc Jacob sandals. She also snagged another pair of Marc boots too. Adore! (And a little bit jealous too because they were only $50.)

I'm hoping Veen will do a guest post because she found some gorg steals too! *hint, hint

So thankful we three wear different sizes! No fighting.

La Ree is next... Stay tuned!

economic rescue package - by LRB

This little recessionista just went a little berserk after I got the email from eluxury about their latest marc (typo but I'm keeping it!) downs.

Not only am I a sale whore, but I'm a big time Marc Jacobs ho too. I mean, at least as a whore you get paid for it right? A ho? Not so much - you do it cos you can.

Anyfrenzy, Mango somehow had an extra 25% off for me so I don't feel utterly guilty, just a smidge.


So I picked up this cute little Peter Pan collared shirt. And the adorable high waisted skirt that I'd been coveting for months but just couldn't bring myself to buy it with only a 40% discount. I didn't think I'd actually get it because it sold out at Nordstrom. Good thing I waited.

If only my legs were as skinny as the model's. *sigh*

Last but certainly not least, I picked up these adorable navy patent flats. How could I resist? With her discount, these cuties were under $100! Practically free!

I seriously wanted to order everything but I reined myself in and settled for a few fun pieces.

Fashion show!

TamPham and Diabolina have both been all atwitter about high waisted skirts. And so of course, so am I! I'm such a follower!

But how could I not be? Am loving the styles from Marc by Marc Jacobs and 3.1 Phillip Lim.

I love fall clothing so much more than any other season! And with the dreary weather we've been having in Seattle, I can picture myself wearing skirts and tights and boots!

Ugh. I need a new wool coat too. Been needing one for a couple years now but have been making do with this icky Kenneth Cole one that I swear I bought nearly 10 yrs ago. I just can't seem to find the perfect one.

I don't know what it is.. Maybe I'm just patriotic - I love the combination of blue and red. It kinda makes me think of stuff I used to wear as a kid, but this frock ain't no make-believe, dress-up outfit.

It's $378 at Saks and I have a 25% off coupon... But that's still kinda pricy, no?

I seriously need to go to F21 and see what kind of designer knock-offs they have. I need a fix!

Maybe I should go to the Rack after work. I haven't been there in a while either.

i've got the blues

I'm totally crazy about all the blues! I want everything in this color!



Hmmm.. I still have some moolah left on the Barneys gift card that Stinko gave me. Maybe I'll stop by and check out these marc by marc jacobs pumps.

Ugh. Will you backhand me now?

I totally succumbed to the bah-humbug season and bought something for myself. I know, I know, I still have gifts to purchase but it was such a good deal! Not to mention it was really cute and it'll give me a reason to do something for NYE (besides sit at home and fall asleep at 11:30 pm.)

I found it at Nordstrom Rack yesterday for $124.50 from $498. I mean, that's good right? Fine, fine.. Maybe I should return it. But isn't it so cute?

UPDATE: Sorry, I forgot to mention that it's by Marc by Marc Jacobs.

At least I didn't buy anything when I went to Target yesterday! I should get points for that!
