The Shopping Thread

[SuzeQuze]

Hey guys,

I love hearing about stuff that people buy, and I love buying stuff, so I thought I'd start this thread so we can chat about stuff we've just gotten, have, or want to get. Whatever. I know Amber got that fabulous dress and I really want to see a picture of her in it!

I just bought these kitten heeled black leather boots from Newport News and they are to die for. They were cheap too!

I also got this beaded corset top but the photo doesn't do it justice. I love this thing, it's so pretty and it was also fairly inexpensive!

And I suddenly want this ring but definitely have to at least sleep on the decision to buy!

Okay Ledgies, show me your stuff. :D

[hayley]

Woot! Shopping! That ring is gorgeous, btw. You should totally buy it.

I just bought myself this t-shirt that I've been coveting forever, because I'm a dork:

http://www.glarkware.com/securestore/c181846p16471415.2.html

and a dorky Alias-related button and magnet from the same store:

For V-Day I got my dream purchase, the Fresh fragrance index:
http://a1377.g.akamai.net/7/1377/5720/20040915180110/www.sephora.com/assets/dyn/product/P80801/P80801_hero.jpg
http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P80801&shouldPaginate=true

which is encouraging me to buy full size bottles of pomegranate anise, violet moss, and bergamot citrus. Yummmmy.

[amber]

Score, Suz! love the stuff. I just got an ipod shuffle (240 songs) two pairs of pants (which are just regular) some perfume (I have never bought perfume!) and that lip stuff that Hayley recommended in the other thread. I also got a new pair of rollerblades with detachable wheels, and some new running shoes, Asics. Hmm, I guess it's not as effective without showing the pictures, but oh well, that's what I got.

I absolutely adore this watch, it is so pretty! The photo doesn't even do it justice because the mother of pearl face has so many other colors reflected in it.

Ahh, a fellow shopper who tells me I "should" buy that ring. :blob2:

[DrummerDeanna]

lol -my purchases have been SO lame lately...

BUT after my trip to New York in a couple of week I hope to buy some nice spring/summer clothes.

Lets see...recently I bought some pig ear dog bones and dog shampoo :laugh:

AND - tonight I'm buying a slew of face products :p

[SuzeQuze]

Wow! I want one of those iPods, tell me how you like it. I also got pants from newport-news.com, their jeans are only $17 each if you buy 2 pairs! I got the boot cut low rise stonewashed ones. They are pretty comfortable and they don't look like cheap jeans.

I love roller blading and have a decent pair but I never use them. I can't stop in traffic but in a safe area I am fine. I didn't realize I couldn't stop very well until I tried roller blading in Somerville and almost skated right into a car. I grabbed a stop sign and nearly ripped my hand open trying to stop myself! :laugh:

What kind of perfume did you get? My favorites are Tresor by Lancome and Angel, mmmmm.

Ooh, that watch IS pretty!

I didn't buy the Index for myself, it was actually a gift- a really fantastic gift. I smell so good. So, so, so good. I love Fresh fragrances- the index scents are great for layering. Today it's tobacco caramel and fleurs de chocolat. I totally want to make out with me.

Amber! Let me know how you like the Lip Venom. I think it kicks ass.

OMG - those KICK ASS!!!! You're my hero btw :xoxo: ;)

[wondergirl9847]

I haven't bought crap really. :laugh: I bought 3 LP's on Ebay (still waiting on them...sent media mail :rolleyes: ) and in 9 days, I'm going to Oklahoma to see Keith Urban in concert, so two concert tickets are on my credit card bill. Also, the hotel we are staying at is on there. I haven't been buying anything except necessities.

I may be spending some cash in OKC next week. :)

[dissention]

My favorite is the Truffle Shuffle, I'm wearing it right now. :D

I got NOA, by Cacharel. They make Anais Anais, which i used to love - I smelled NOA once a couple years ago and liked it, I hope I still feel the same when it gets here! I just turn a circle to stop on my Rollerblades. The new ones will be nice cause i won't have to bring shoes everywhere I go on them, I just snap the wheels off when i go inside somewhere.

Not true. ;)

[WelshWitchPMD]

I haven't been shopping in a long time. Let's see I went to Kmart to get my film developed Thursday night and there I bought a photo album and I finally found that Golden Girls DVD set! :blob2: For Kmart! :laugh:

My last big purchase was that Canon Rebel K2 35mm camera a few weeks ago and I also bought a gadget bag for it a week later.

I am trying to find a place for a cheap Photography class in my area now. :shrug:

Now I need to start a fund for Vegas. :rolleyes:

I? Love that site. :nod: I would like a "Save Ferris" shirt. ;)

And am I the only one who had a Teddy Ruxpin? :laugh: Looking back, they were a little creepy.

ALSO - Does anyone else think that Alf and Scott Bakula look alike at all? :shrug: :laugh:

Not only did I have a Teddy Ruxpin, but I had a Grubby, too. :nod: But they must not have sold very well, though, because they don't make them anymore. You used to be able to connect the two of them with a wire and they would talk to each other. :D

Scott Bakula has more hair on his body than any human should.

Have you seen some of the old Quantum Leap episodes? Dude has never heard of manscaping. Chest hair is fine, but not when it looks like you pasted a freakin' bear skin rug on it. Run your fingers through that **** and the critters living in it will bite 'em off.

I tried watching Enterprise once and never saw it again. It's shockingly bad. :nod: TV sucks, anyway, though. I only watch three shows, I think. I love getting the old TV shows on DVD, it's SO much fun watching good shows.

I know theyr'e not quite like yours SuzyQ :D .. but I had to buy my youngest a pair of waterproof walking boots (she's got a Duke of Edinburugh award to do shortly)

[SuzeQuze]

I just got it for a steal at $600! :blob1: I got a Macy's promo code for registering my card online. They already sold out of the 6 while I was trying to submit my order so I hope the 5 1/2 fits, I may have to wear it on my left hand since that ring finger is smaller than my right. We will see. :woohoo: This is my early birthday present to me, a diamond just happens to be my birthstone. Yay! :D

My dress came today. Seems to look pretty good so far! I could mainly see the top part, but I think it looks as well as can be expected. :thumbsup:

[tuigirl]

That's cute, what is this award?

Suze and Christy..it's an award thing (I think Prince Phillip endorses it, hence his name) that you can strive for, that incorprates leadership (they go on a 3 day walk using map skills/tents and compass) and community work (I'm not sure but I think, there's old folks invoved), there are 3 stages, bronze silver and gold and she's starting her bronze level this March, by doing a day walk taster, and learning how to read a map etc, so a good pair of boots is a must.I have to say however, these boots are damn useful walking in all the snow we have at the moment!!

[SuzeQuze]

Awesome. I hope you like it on too.

I can't afford that ring but I literally dreamt about it last night. I have an issue with delayed gratification. :shocked: I just wanted this ring so badly. :rolleyes: I'll take a webcam pic of it on my finger when I get it, then you will see why I just had to have it. :lol: :D

I'm psyched you got that dress! It is so cool. :cool:

I totally understand. I'm especially that way with jewelry. I can't believe i've managed not to buy any. Yeah, take a pic.
Oh, and I meant I already tried the dress on, and it looks good so far. :) I couldn't wait....

Oh even better! :blob1: I can't wait for spring to come, man. This snow and cold - I am all done. That dress just screams summer to me. :D

I haven't gotten a piece of fine jewelry in a long time. I always look at it and never buy but this one just got me. I should probably unsub now from the macy's email!

[WildInTheWind]

I just got in the mail a pink TISL T shirt I have been trying to find since I saw someone wearing one in 2003. Well, I've seen them in XL, but last week found a small on Ebay! It's really cool. It's the cover of the album, and it fades into pink. NIce! Excpet that Olivia seemed to have adopted it, has been wearing it all day, and says it HERS. :mad:

Um...you know you're in charge of Olivia, right? She has to do what you say.... :confused:

Okay, i tried to take pics of the dress, but it was hard, so they didn't turn out that well. Not bad, though. Obviously, it would look better on someone slimmer, or if I was slimmer, but I like it. :)

That neckline is beautiful and the dress looks good. I couldn't even wear that style, I have to wear a-line because of the bootay. :laugh: Sometimes, if I need to, I wear one of those Nancy Gantz body slimmer thingies, they can work wonders. Nice score on the dress. :thumbsup:

I love the pink TISL shirt! I can see how Olivia would want it...it's pink and it looks like it has a fairy princess on it. :nod:
I wish I didn't wear my Stevie/Mac shirts so much. I can't help it though. My two from 83 and my RAL shirt of some of my favorites. I've actually been looking on Ebay for the same ones so I don't have to worry about them getting even more worn out than they already are!

I love it too and I am glad that I splurged on it.

That ring I showed you all is all sold out. It was very popular. I'm dying for it to arrive, I must have my retail therapy! :blob1:

[SuzeQuze]

Oh I did, I did! I got the 5 1/2, the 6 sold out while I was trying to submit my order. But I think the 5 1/2 will fit, although I might have to wear it on my left hand. Which may make it look like an engagment ring, but it's my birthstone! Ah well, we'll see. :D My roommate is so cute, she's like, "You know, it's good luck to let friends borrow diamonds. Just wanted to let you know." :laugh:

[WildInTheWind]

Oh cool! You did get it. Even if it's a little small, I don't think it's very expensive to have a ring sized.

[SuzeQuze]

Oh cool! You did get it. Even if it's a little small, I don't think it's very expensive to have a ring sized.

It came today and it fits perfectly! I can't photograph it on my hand though with the equipment I have for instant photos. I'll have to use my SLR in daylight. It is quite blingy and fabulous! :D

Ironically I went to see Suze Orman speak today at Borders. She has a new book out, "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke" (most of us Ledgies). The book seems great and there is a companion Web site which helps you get things in order one step at a time.

She's quite irreverent in person, she was very funny and charismatic and she is stunning! She almost didn't make it here because of the weather but I'm so glad she did because she is very inspiring. Sometimes I hate her for seeming so perfect. ;) But she paid her dues, she didn't get a "real job" until she was 30. She's something.

Oh yeah, she told this little story, "I was interviewing with Matt Lauer for the first time and I was wearing a new pricey sweater. He commented on it saying, 'That's an expensive sweater.' And she replied, 'Yes it is, and I can afford it thank you very much.'" :laugh: Then the interview started and she was in hot water. She said to never insult your host before being interviewed.

Anyway, blabla, yadayada. I love playing hookey! I highly recommend it. :thumbsup:

It came today and it fits perfectly! I can't photograph it on my hand though with the equipment I have for instant photos. I'll have to use my SLR in daylight. It is quite blingy and fabulous! :D

Ironically I went to see Suze Orman speak today at Borders. She has a new book out, "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke" (most of us Ledgies). The book seems great and there is a companion Web site which helps you get things in order one step at a time.

Omigod, I can't wait to see it!!!!!! Hurry!!! :woohoo: Yay!
That's cool Suze Orman was good - I should probably get that book...she used to irritate me, though, just cause she was on PBS like, every night? and every day? and every other hour? :laugh: :mad: That wasn't so much her, though, as seeing her constantly.... :D
Anyways, gotta see that ring, dear. :wavey:

[estranged4life]

alot lately for audio cassettes (Which I transfer to flawless compact disc versions)...Can't pass up buying over 100 Mint/Near Mint officially released audio cassettes (The dude who had 'em up for auction must be an audiophile too because they were in awesome condition) and yet only spending about $55 doing so (Excluding the 2 auctions I won last night and the 5-7 I plan to hit possibly tonight)

[CreepingDeath]

One of my friends was getting rid of a bunch of CDs. Alot of them weren't even opened. :shrug: So being the opportunist that I am, I made him an offer for them. I got about 50-60 mint CDs. Everything from glam to death metal. :thumbsup:











I also just bought a new car

Sweeeet!!! And you didn't even have to have it sized! :blob1:

What kind of car did you get? I need a new one BAD! Mine leaks mad oil, needs new brakes and lets out clouds of smoke when I'm stopped for too long. :shrug:

Nope, I just dazzled my cafeteria cashier with it. :D That was cool.

My Dad got a Webcam that has pretty good resolution so I took some pictures of my ring. Due to lighting and poor resolution (compared to high end cameras or film) these pictures do not do the ring (nor my manicure ;) ) justice. But I promised to get some up for Amber ASAP, so here they are. :D

Wow, how do you ever stop staring at it? And those aren't even very good pics! (although your dad has way better lighting for his webcam)
I like how it has a lot of space in it's design; how it spreads....
It looks like it has a tiny old fashioned touch, too, which is nice. I don't know if it does, that's just what it looks like in those pics. Excellent. Magnifique. :woohoo: Do you get snow blindness when the rays bounce off your ring? :laugh: Really gorgeous. :nod: Wait, it's on your left hand! oooo.
Actually, I also like your shirt a lot, by the way...my fave color!
Here's my new ring. It was $25... :lol: :lol:

Very cool ring. No, I never stop staring at mine. :laugh: It's a 1/2 karat of diamonds but the setting makes it look like much more.

My Dad's Webcam seems to pick up light very well, he bought one of the more expensive ones. Mine was like $12. :laugh:

Yeah, it spreads out the diamonds all around your finger. :) Great choice.
My webcam was free - but I think it's also my house lighting.
Thanks for complimenting my ring, but that was kind of a joke. :lol: You know, yours is diamonds, mine's turquoise? :) Very sweet, though.

Yes I know it was kind of a joke. The funny thing is my Mom got me an early birthday present, which is a sterling silver and amethyst ring, and I love it almost as much as the diamonds. Believe it or not, I'm not a jewelry snob! And, I really do love your ring, it's a nice shape, and you have nice hands to show it off! There is this great jewelry store here in Boston called Local Charm that has the most gorgeous sterling/semi-precious jewelry and it is actually priced reasonably. :eek: They have the drawers all unlocked so you can try everything on, which I practically did! I have never been in there until this week because I wasn't "allowed". :laugh: That's the kind of place I am bound to make an unplanned purchase.

I went to my "not allowed" store to get this, too. It's a tibetan jewelry store, up on the expensive ave. It's not that expensive, though. Your other ring sounds really pretty! and since your new diamond ring isn't gold, you can wear it with your silver jewelry, in theory. :) I always try a bunch of stuff on to, and change my mind, and try combinations...I feel sorry for the salesclerks if they are waiting there for me. :laugh:

Thanks :D I saw it online and popped into the store to see if they had it and they did. Good thing cuz it's already sold out online! I don't have to worry about extra boobage falling out :laugh:. It's a very flattering cut for me, a little more bare than I normally wear but it's Vegas, baby!

awesome, Suze! very pretty, and I don't even like orange! And I love that shawl. SCORE!!!!!
I was hoping someone would resurrect this thread. :p I just got a super great black tank dress, clingy, hits just below the knee (is there anything better than long black tank dresses? No!) and another skirticus. It's a little longer than skirticus I, and it has a bit of pink piping (it's black, of course). It's all thin and flowy. Asymmetrical hemline. Soooo flattering, for my fatass. :lol:

Well I just bought a Farberware cooking set :laugh:

All this talk of clothes...and I'm buying pans :rolleyes: But all I had were these crappy Wal-Mart bought pans that were already approachin unusable....

So I went to Kohl's and got a nice Farberware set for like 50% off - now I'm totally enjoying cooking :D

this weekend, however, I'm going to take part of my tax refund and buy some spring clothes :blob1: I'm very excited....yea shopping!!

[mondaymornin1]

All this talk of clothes...and I'm buying pans :rolleyes:


And I'm buying bags of soil, ferns, mulch, and line for a weed eater....it's time to start gardening 'round here! :p

I'll be thinking about you "Vegas people" when I'm out digging in the yard...looks like you're gonna look "fabulous!"

Yes! Let me know what you get!

What's funny about your pot purchase was when you posted about getting those and then reading with your dog I was thinking of how cool of a night that was and then you said you must be getting old. :laugh: I was like, um, oh yeah. ;-) Good cookware is a must though, isn't it? I got myself the nonstick Calphalon at Target and have never looked back. Good stuff! :thumbsup:

:laugh: I feel so lame sometimes - but eh that's just me :D

Yeah - I'll post my purchases...I'm hoping to find some cute and flattering clothes...I'm completely burned out with what I have now - this week was hell - no money and I felt like I looked gross in all my clothes ..then I'd remind myself that there are people in this country who can't even afford gross clothes - and that I should be thankful for what I do have :)

Still...I'm excited about getting new clothes :blob1:

And yeah - I got the pots and pans...next I'm buying some baking sheets...the ones I have are AWFUL...they were uber cheap...and they warp in the oven due to VERY poor heat distribution...:D cooking/baking is a lot better with good stuff which which to do it :nod:

[skcin]

I haven't been spring clothes shopping yet. I have to check what I have in storage from last year to see what I have (and if it fits, lol.) But with my house in shambles right now, it's not possible.

I did find this awesome chiffon-ny green & blue swirly longish halter top (enough adjectives?) last week, but the med was a tiny bit too small & the lg was enormous. :rolleyes: It would look great with jeans. It would be a perfect Vegas top. Maybe I'll go back & grab it & have my friend at work alter it for me.

Other than that - I got a new digital camera (Kodak 4.1 megapixel w/ 3x optical zoom & a free charging dock.) But it's for my birthday from hubby & he's not letting me use it until my actual birthday. Jerk. :laugh:

I got NOA, by Cacharel. They make Anais Anais, which i used to love -

Can you believe they still make that? Someone gave me a gift set of that stuff for X-mas last year. Why? I haven't a clue. The scent reminds me of being in 6th grade, I can't believe it's been that long since I've smelled that stuff! And everytime I smell it, it takes me back to being 12. Weird how smells can do that.

Actually, It's Noe, and it just came out in 98 or 99, is what I read. Perhaps you are thinking of a different perfume. Oh, and mine smells good. :nod: Or are you talking about Anais Anais? Yeah, I remember my favorite teacher in Junior high wore Anais Anais. I still like it, though, but it does have memories of being 12.... :)

I bought a new swimming suit yesterday. Afterwords I had to rush to the bathroom and puke after paying $120 for it. Not really, but I wanted to. I have never spent so much on so little fabric! I have a hard time buying suits so when I saw this one, and it fit, held me up and was actually cute, I had to buy it. It's light pink, and has silver sequins on it. The top is more like a bra. They actually came in bra sizes which is REALLY cool. It's easier to pick up a 34DD than a large thats really a small, or a large that is so big around it ends up around my ankles. LOL. I wish I could post a pic of it, it's really cool, but I don't have a digital camera :(

Yay!!!! I always want to buy cute, expensive swimsuits, regardless of whether I already have a cute expensive one. 34DD?! Cripes! :laugh: :thumbsup:
Also another factor when buying something is if you think it will be almost impossible to find something else cheaper that looks as good, which it sounds like what happened with you. ;) Sounds very cute!

[SuzeQuze]

I had a cute little tankini and the elastic went on the bottom so I needed a new one and found a cute Ralph Lauren one 1/2 off last year at the end of the season. It still wasn't cheap. Wildinthe, congrats on your find, it sounds fabulous. I cannot relate to your chest-fitting problem though, mine is the bootay. :laugh: So when I find something that fits and looks good I also wave the price consideration. And can I just say, sequins?... how fabulous!!! :thumbsup:

Well, I don't normally wear a DD, but they ran small. It is very cute, and I have a hard time buying swim suits, so I caved in and bought it.

I just hope they hold up through sand, salt, clorine, grass cutting :D and running after a 3 year old! Probably not the most practical, but you never know....it could last :rolleyes:

You may want to find a back up suit for the heavy lifting so to speak. ;)

BTW, I'm wearing a sweater with sequins on it right now. I <3 this thing! Mine is purple (like rasberry sherbet) but here it is in green.

It's so bad because I just declared yesterday that I wasn't spending any money on clothing and things until Vegas and what do I do today? Put these on hold for me to pick up after work. A coworker has them on and was like, "YOU HAVE TO GET THEM!!!" and I agree :p

Shoes...oh man. I went to Aldo the other night. I had to hold back. I still haven't gone to DSW...i'm afraid at the damage I might do :distress:

Me, too. Only mine are comfy cute flats with an ankle strap (ankle strap - very important) - just the toe and heel covered. They are at Sketchers, but they are fifty dollars. :( :( Yes, you caught me, I'll probably get them anyway.... :laugh:

Cute. What I need are kitten-heeled gold sandals. And my sneakers have had it with all the sand and salt put on the roads this winter. Folks are right about needing sneakers in Vegas. In '93 My friend had blisters from walking around there all day. She was wearing Keds which have no support. She bought some real sneakers and then was fine. Even still, at night for the concert I'm wearing heels. :cool:

I? Am *sniffle*like the *gulp*only one out of *sob*everyone that hasn't *sniffle* found cool clothes for *tears* Vegas yet!

I went to Kohls yesterday (we just got our first Kohls here. It's OK I guess.) Found a few cute tops. Tried on larges. All too small. :shrug: Not sure how that works, since I usually wear a medium top & have a B cup. :mad:

I am working out, have lost 3 pounds but everything I find does not work - Med is too small, Lg is too big (with the exception of the Kohls tragedy.) Godammit. :distress:

Done venting. Have period. Very upset today.

Aww sweetie, f*ck Kohls. Spend some money and you'll get something that fits right. And remember, always blame the clothes, NEVER your body. It's the clothes, dammit!!! And I hear you, at The Gap the medium top often doesn't fit and I'm like, "Hello?". But it's the shirt's fault, NOT my bod's! :laugh:

*still weeping* I KNOW, I KNOW but I'm very very broke now & can't afford nice clothes. :distress: I'm so bloated & pastey white, my face is broken out & I need a hair cut. I am feeling SO good about myself right now. :rolleyes:

I swear, I will find something in the next couple of weeks if it kills me. KILLS me, I say!

[amber]

Cute. What I need are kitten-heeled gold sandals. And my sneakers have had it with all the sand and salt put on the roads this winter. Folks are right about needing sneakers in Vegas. In '93 My friend had blisters from walking around there all day. She was wearing Keds which have no support. She bought some real sneakers and then was fine. Even still, at night for the concert I'm wearing heels. :cool:
me, too. maybe. those black flats are really cute, though (did I say ankle strap?) :laugh: I don't want to wear sneakers all day! Maybe my shoes will be comfy enough.... yes, suze, you definitely need those kitten heeled gold sandals, especially considering your shawl and dress. ;)
Oh, and Paula? I didn't really go shopping for Vegas, just the same old stuff I would buy anyway. cute black skirts and dresses. Oh, and....*Ross* - so it's not like I really went shopping... :lol: Is it shopping when what you buy costs $12? probably not. I got a cute one shoulder w/ring black tank top for $5.99. :laugh: See? not shopping, really...

I'm bloated and pasty too (sans nose and forehead which are still sunburned and nose is now peeling). I'm going to be tanning from the bottle though before Vegas. The Nutrogena stuff is good. But I do dread putting on that swimsuit, but not enough to avoid the pool! It sounds like this pool is amazing, the one at the MGM Grand was so awesome! You can rent cabanas there but they were expensive. They have these misty things though you can press to cool yourself off as you sip your cocktail under the cabana, ahhhh.

I'm getting my hair done Friday! Paula, do that first, it's an easy way to give yourself a lift. Then raid the clearance racks at the mid to high end stores because you just may find something fabulous. If not, wait until you have some dough but don't try on those awful clothes ever again! And get yourself some of that stuff Deanna got that helped her skin, what was that again? Dammit, we can't have you pouty for vegas. Oh crap, does this mean the monthly bill is going to arrive in time for Vegas? Shiza, mine too, son of a...

Dude, I am with you on that ankle strap! I love those kind of sandals. Did you see the wrap around silver ones in the blue dress pic I posted the other day? Those are fabulous!

Haha, I love your logic. If it's under $15 total then it really isn't shopping at all. :thumbsup:

Yes, those are nice shoes. The problem with the tie ankle ones, though, is that they don't stay up very well. :( WHich sucks, because they kick a**!!!!
yeah, it's not shopping then. Although i actually got some cute stuff.

Amber, I think that I might be in the same boat or it will be before it and I am a cranky b'tch then, too. :eek:

I have NOTHING done.

I need to get a new carry on bag because mine has a rip in it. :(

I need a haircut like you would not believe and then I have to color it myself.

I have NO clothes and I need some cute shoes. I will be going to Dots for clothes because I am flat broke. I don't even want to try any on because I am too fat and I have made NO effort at all to diet or exercise.

I have to renew my stupid drivers license before May 8th and I leave on that day. That's $30.00 for that. That is for 5 yrs so it's not too much.

I owe Dad $ that I had to pay him this week because he owes taxes. :(

To be honest I am thinking of just saying forget it to Vegas at this point. :shocked:

Noooooo!!!! You have to go! Except for paying my dad back, I have all the exact same problems as you! Maybe you could just shorten your trip if you are really broke? You would be sad if you didn't see Stevie, wouldn't you? Imagine all the people to be there, too. Also, it's your birthday! How could you think of not going? OH, pattie, pattie.... :distress:
However, I will say it looks like a bunch of people's Sisters are visiting in the same week. :eek: :lol: uh oh.... :p

Amber, I am sure that I will still go. I will just have to do a little bit of shopping each week. I am seriously thinking of just putting some tape on that damn carry on bag. I love it because it is the perfect size to take on the plane and I can get a lot of stuff in there. If I see one just like it I will grab it.I just don't feel like going to look for one. :(

As for clothes I am sure that I will get something at Dots. I'll even go to Kmart for a nightgown or some t-shirts. :)

Pattie, I have seen cute cheap luggage at Target, you may want to check that out. They had the small cart-type bag for $9.99.

You still have plenty of time to get these thigns done, like you said, a little each week.

I hear you about the hair, I'm going friday for a cut and highlight and I think it has been at least 4 months!

I got my carry on at The Christmas Tree shop about 2 years ago. It was about $20.00-$25.00 I think. I think that I might try there again. Target sounds good too and I can get some other stuff there.

I kid you not I have not gotten a hair cut since last May. I need at least 5 inches cut off. I want to do that before I get my license photo taken. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I attached a pic of my carry on bag that I love. You can see the rip on top. If you see anything like this around let me know. :)

[strandinthewind]

Also, Patti - try Marshall's. They had an American Tourister 22 inch carry on for $29.00. Also, Skyway no weight is a very good and moderately priced bad that recently was named the best in its class by the Wall Street Journal and I know many flight attendants who use it because it is the lightest of all. The 22 inch carry on is about $60 with free shipping from most online sources!!!!!

Happy Hunting :cool:

Also, you better get that thought of no Vegas out of your head young lady!!!!! :xoxo:

[SuzeQuze]

Pattie if you want to repair your bag there is one thing that might work. I got this stuff at Walmart in the sewing section, it's patch fabric that comes in a sheet like 3" wide by 8" long and you trim it to the size you need to mend fabric. Then you iron it on the inside. I have used this for favorite jeans I didn't want to throw out but couldn't be worn in public :eek:. This would only cost a couple of bucks. Just a thought.

Oh man, I was a big igwad and not thinking when I packed for Vegas in 2001.
I had doc mule slip on sandals, which weighed approx. 68 lbs......after the concert and a few to many drinks and walking waaaaay back up the strip with my best friend who has some long ass legs, I take 3 steps to her one....lol.....I took them off and walked barefoot the rest of the way....yeah, gross,my feet were so black and nasty, but couldnt help it.....couldn't lug them no more. :lol: So wear comfy shoes.

WOOT!

Aunt Flo (that bitch) is gone, my skin's clearing up & I don't feel quite as chubby :woohoo: Now, how to keep in from happening again in 4 weeks...


I should have known to go to NY & Co. first, since that's where I get most of my clothes in general. :rolleyes: I found some great tops, including a dark brown sheer tank with rust-colored beading on the neckline for Vegas. Plus I got coupons to use the week before the shows so I can get a few more things. I feel so much better now. :nod:

Here are pics of the shirt. The beading didn't really show up too well in the pic, but oh well. I have my new watch on too (Walmart special :nod: ) Please disregard the pastey white skin, slouchy posture, flabby arms, lack of makeup, ass girth, etc. I promise I'll look better in Vegas. :cool:

[WildInTheWind]

Wow that is a really cool shirt! That is something I could wear! It isn't spagetti straps, or a halter or anything, and it's still really cute. Love the beading.

I just purchased a new shirt at Neiman Marcus... it was a tad more then I would normally spend on a shirt... or a car payment! It was the most I have ever spent on one item of clothing, but I justified it by saying that it was my new shirt for one of the Las Vegas shows and everyone has to look fabulous. Even Stevie said so! "Plan your outfit now" I believe she said :D Now I just need some pants to go with it... and some shoes too. I really want some black boots like the kind Lindsey wore during the SYW tour. Anyone know anything about those shoes? Everyone talks about Stevie and her shoes but I really want some info on Lindsey's. :nod:

So my mom forced (that's right, forced) me to buy this dress from NY&Co on Thursday. It's a black, brown & white floral pattern (I know, sounds blech, but it's not.) Spagetti straps, fitted to the lower part of the waist, then flares out into an A-Line. Falls just below the knee. Very retro 50's - I love it! It really flatters my hourglass (OK, pear-shaped :rolleyes: ) body.

Only issue is shoes. The little Stacy & Clinton in my head are screaming at me to get a cute pair of black or brown heels with a pointed toe. So I tried a few pairs on at DSW & nearly broke my ankle :o . Several times. I took that as a sign & did not make a purchase.

Oh, will I ever learn to walk in heels? :shrug:

[Lisa1769]

Oh, will I ever learn to walk in heels? :shrug:

I'm a clomper/shuffler......husband always tells me to pick up my feet. I have a closet full of shoes i can't walk in. :rolleyes:

[skcin]

I've finally been able to convince myself to not buy shoes that hurt my feet/don't fit right/I can't walk in/match nothing I own, etc.


"I don't care if they're only $15 at DSW, they're fluorescent green & have a 5 inch heel, dummy!" :rolleyes:

On the hunt for flat, yet cute & sexy, sandals for Vegas.

I've finally been able to convince myself to not buy shoes that hurt my feet/don't fit right/I can't walk in/match nothing I own, etc.


"I don't care if they're only $15 at DSW, they're fluorescent green & have a 5 inch heel, dummy!" :rolleyes:

On the hunt for flat, yet cute & sexy, sandals for Vegas.

Speaking of green shoes, i'm currently obsessing over a pair I saw in Aldo (http://www.aldoshoes.com/aldoshoes/images/products/599-369-35-L.jpg) (that's the shoe in natural). They're $69 though BUT, they'll be really adorable with jeans. After buying tickets for the show, I really need to stop purchasing things. But I want (I don't necessarily need) a new pair :distress:

Hello, my name is Marissa...and i'm a shopaholic.

[diamondsnake]

The little Stacy & Clinton in my head are screaming at me to get a cute pair of black or brown heels with a pointed toe.

I love Stacy and Clinton! Even though I would be completely insulted, I'd love to be on What Not To Wear so I could hang out with them and get a new wardrobe! :D

I? Would have a broken foot before I even made it out of the house in those. :( But that is a hot shoe. :nod:

No doubt! Being embarrassed on TV in exchange for a new look/haircut/wardrobe? Bring it on!

[xxxmx]

i have that shoe with a closed toe in pink, i looove aldo. was in boston last year and bought three pairs, i have no financial conscience. and now that i have $0 after deciding to go to vegas, i look at those shoes (one pair i've never worn out of the house, another i've worn twice) and i think... ya know, i could eat for a week in vegas if i didn't buy those shoes.

I absolutely LOVE them. However, I am also quite partial to the British version we ripped from (because apparently, we've run out of original ideas). Trinny and Susannah <3 Merf bought me their What Not To Wear book for Christmas and it's a riot. They'll show a picture of a good outfit for a certain body type and then one that doesn't look as nice. In the pictures with the bad outfits, they make sad and depressed faces :laugh:

I guess I'm used to higher shoes since I seem to gravitate towards them. However, when I don't wear them for a while (which is rare but on occassion, I will) and go to put them on, it feels odd. I have to use my better judgement and not purchase these...but it is tempting :distress:

Aldo is evil...seriously. I make an attempt to reason with myself and am pretty good at convincing myself out of purchases but there are times when i'll just throw caution to the wind and regardless of money, buy things I don't need. I am good about not charging unless i've got money to pay it off right away so I guess that's good.

I went out today to look for a carry on bag. I only went to a few places but I did not see anything that I liked. I was looking for a purse at Kmart but I did not see anything but I did see a tote bag that I liked. I looked at it a bit closer and saw that it was an American Tourister and that it even had a luggage tag on the side. The best part was that it was marked down to $8.00. I bought it along with a few toiletries at Kmart. Now, I just need to get a small shoulder bag. I figure that I will take my tote bag and put my purse inside and put some important things like my contact lens stuff and battery chargers and put the bottles in the other small bag that I have. I will need to check that one in, however. This way I have just the tote and my camera bag on the plane with me.
I think that I will hit the mall after work tomorrow. I did not see any clothes that I liked anyplace so I will stick with what I have. I forgot that I bought a dress at Target the end of last year that I never wore.

[skcin]

Here is the dress that screams for pointed toe heels. What other option do I have? Sandals? Wedges? Espadrilles? HELP!

Ooooo! that dress looks great on you!!! Um, how 'bout some nice black platform thongs? :shrug: :laugh: I have an extra pair.... :D Actually, I hate pointy toed shoes, myself, so...and regular heels aren't my friends either. Are you trying to get comfy shoes, or dress up, only walk for a minute shoes?

Either espadrilles or wedges, IMO. Very cute! :nod:

[xxxmx]

if you're wearing your hair down, pointy toes with an ankle strap.

if you're wearing your hair up, i'd get black strappys, not too strappy... one across your toes and then an ankle strap. very flirty.

you've already got your 'pose' down... and is that a ginormous dog at your feet?

Heeeee :D . Yeah, I forgot to mention Bubba (my big, beautiful brindle Boxer boy) sleeping on the floor in the pic.

I'm thinking high pony tail with this dress. Of course, a hair cut may change that idea real quick. Haven't had a trim in months & I really need to hack a bunch off.

Thanks for the ideas, kiddies! :) I may stop at AJ Wright before work today & check out the shoe situation.

I just got 4 and a half inches cut off of this mess of hair today! Now I just have to color it.

Is A J Wright a good place for shoes and things? I ask because there was one in the same plaza that I went to yesterday and I skipped it. :shrug:

Well, I did get my tote bad yesterday and I got a kind of cute small purse at Filene's this evening. It looks kind of Vegas. I just hope that my cell and camera both fit inside.
I doubt that anyone is not going to see me coming from the airport with these.

AJ is hit & miss. Sometimes I find all kinds of great stuff, other times it's all crap. :shrug: Mainly shoes & bags. The clothes are pretty disorganized, IMO.

Cute purse, Pattie!

Yeah, I went in there once and I walked right out. I might try it again to look for a purse or something but never for clothes. I went to the mall yesterday and I just did see any clothes that I liked at all. I guess I will just dig up what I already have.

I really like your dress Paula. Now that is nice!

Thanks, sweets! :xoxo: Now if only I could figure out a way to wear sneakers with it....

:D

[SuzeQuze]

Last nite I got my fabulous Vegas shoes and a pair of sneakers which are pink and silver.
:woohoo: :woohoo:

[WelshWitchPMD]

OK, I went to Wal-Mart today. I got a few shirts and things. I picked up a 2 piece bathing siut. The bottom half is going back. I think that I might just keep the top and wear a pair of shorts because I don't plan on going in the pool anyway.

I need to look around the house more. I found a pair of white Reeboks that I had never ever worn before. I think that I will take those with me.

Here is a pic of the top.

EDIT: On second thought. I just might take the top back. I don't plan on being poolside for long if at all, anyway. :rolleyes:

My awesome boyfriend got me a purse from his friend in Thailand. It's so freakin cool. It's made of some kind of organic plastic-ish stuff, and has real flowers pressed into it. Check it out. Heres the website. If anyone is into purses, you shoudl check these out! http://www.flowerbag.com/

ooo, that's totally pretty! My mom makes purses with things encased in them, too. I really like yours, it's so delicate looking. :thumbsup: :nod:

[WildInTheWind]

Your mom makes purses with things in them? How the hell does she do it? This thing fascinates me. lol

A friend just told me this ^ and I thought some of you might be interested.

uh, I think she just gets the special plastic, and...uh...the ones she gave me also have fake black fur for the straps. I'm not exactly sure, she makes all kinds of stuff out of other stuff, all the time.. :laugh: In my sig, the picture on the right is etched glass that she did, the one on the left is a wood carving, and she makes clothes and stuff out of wool she gets from her friend, and there are lots of other weird materials she makes stuff from. Uh, so, I really don't know the entire process.... :laugh: :shrug: The ones she gave me have different colored peices of glass in them, not flowers...

Glass?? That sounds pretty damn cool!

[amber]

Yeah. Yours is way prettier, though. :nod:

[WildInTheWind]

Thanks! The only problem is, well, it's clear. So everyone can see my junk. I won't use it often, just special occasions when it matched my outfit I guess. :nod:

yeah, I was thinking about that too. Good plan. My mom's aren't clear, she put background on them. :) I would want to use the purse you got a lot, though. You know, so everyone could see my gorgeous purse? :laugh:

I wondered about your sig. Your mom is talented!

Regarding the clear purse issue - perhaps you could get some sort of bag to contain all your crap & put that into the purse? Like, a white, ivory or even light pin color so that you could still see the flowers in the clear bag? Just a thought.

BTW - going shoe hunting this week. I did find a cute pink Nine West purse at AJ Wright for $12, so that's a plus.

[WildInTheWind]

Yes I thought of lining it with something. That is probably what I will do. I bought a new pair of sandals last week. I wore them today...it was finally warm enought. They are thongs with little pink beads hanging off the straps. I love them. They have a nice gypsy feel to them. That or belly dancer...I can't decide! :laugh: I bought my first halter top ever, too. I got a clear strap convertable bra...it opened up a whole new world of clothes to me! So I bought a fabulous sparkly purple halter. It's kind of long, and has an asymetrical (wow I really butchered that one!) hem. I love it. I wish it would get hot so I can wear it this weekend!

That sounds really cool. I totally want one of those bras, but they are like, 40 bucks at victorias secret. :shocked: By the way, I think you spelled asymetrical right. :thumbsup:

I got mine for $19.99 at Target :thumbsup: You can definatly find a cheap one that will do the trick. I usually have to get expensive bras, but this one is suprisingly good. And I don't wear it that often. It is a great investment though. I can actually wear halter and tank tops! woohooooo!!!

Very nice, Amber. I don't think they're tacky! Then again, I love shiny and glittery things! :lol: My ex used to joke with me about that because whenever we were in the mall and I saw jewelry or things with glitter or sequins I was there and he'd say, "Ooh, it's shiny!" in a girly voice mocking me. :laugh:

[WildInTheWind]

I dont think they are tacky either. Mmm....sandle season. Lovely :D I wish I had a digital camera, I am in love with my dangly beaded gypsy thongs. I wore them to work today...even though they aren't exactly work shoes!

[skcin]

I love all of your shoes. That's exactly what I've been looking for!

I picked up a few more things from NY&Co. (brainwashed with coupons again -how could I not buy more with 50% off?) I got some basics - T's, capris, shorts and some very cool jewelry I will probably take to Vegas.

Just need shoes! :o

Well, fortunalty, Chris (my BF) isn't like that. He's quite the humble musician. And he doesn't party anymore, he stopped drinking completely in 2003. So it works out well. He doesn't mind sticking around the house with me and my crazy child, and on the weekend I go to his shows and drink his free drinks for him :thumbsup: :laugh: So it works out.

Thank God. Finally found cute, sparkly shoes without a heel! I'm sorry guys, I tried, I really did. But if I trip over my own feet in the store, then it ain't happening. :o On sale at Kaufmann's, $25 a pair plus I had a coupon. :D I love coupons.

BTW, obviously I got a pair in orange & a pair in black - I won't actually be wearing both colors at once. :rolleyes:

Holy crow - I hope it's just a bad angle & my ankles aren't really that large?!?! Great. Now I have a cankle complex....

really? Barf, I've never liked musicians, but most women do. :shrug: If I do, it's usually a bass player or drummer. Anyway, I hate musician egos, and some other stuff, too. :laugh: My favorite boyfriend was a bass player, though, so. But, he also had a studio where he produced people's stuff in his house. And he wrote music on his computer. And he was collegiate. So, he was just barely a "musician" musician.... :laugh:

Those are great. I was in Macy's last nite shopping for mother's day and they have LOTS of sparkly flats, FYI. Very fabulous stuff.

[skcin]

Well, the verdict is that they're fine for walking around a bit, but not comfy enough for long distances. :( Not terrible, but I haven't worn flip-flops/thongs in years & it's killing my toes!

Debating on whether to bother bringing them to Vegas. I probably will - I've already packed, like, 6 pairs of shoes for 3 friggin days, what's a couple more pairs, right? :rolleyes:

I stumbed across this website, Junk Gypsy while searching last night. They have some awesome boots (don't think any are quite as gorgeous as yours though!) : http://www.gypsyville.com/store/store.asp?OpenA=835&nProductTypeID=835

I'm sure even if they're a little too big/small you'll deal with the pain!
