New Purse

2009-08-08T14:47:00.000-07:00

I've been looking for a new purse for a little while, just found this cute purse the other day at the Franco Sarto store, and it was 1/2 off... yay!!! It's pretty big, but light weight :-)

I finally need to wear glasses, but I'm very excited because I've been looking forward to this fashion accessory most of my life. Anyhow, here are the cool Prada glasses I just got.

Rainboots!

2009-01-23T13:36:00.000-08:00

Wow, I just realized I've been so bad about posting any of my wonderful shopping finds for a while. I actually got these wonderful Dr. Scholl's rainboots a couple months ago, but I've been wearing them in the rain this week and getting lots of compliments. I got them at DSW, but online they only have them in red.

FYI, they run small, I got them a half size larger than my norm.

Top Button Sample Sale

2008-08-10T15:47:00.000-07:00

Got a couple cute things at the sample sale yesterday...

...this cute sweater by BCBG,

and this Ella Moss top. There wasn't a huge selection by the time I got there, and the checkout line took forever, but I got a great deal (58% off retail) so it was a worthwhile trip.

New Seychelles Shoes

2008-07-14T19:47:00.000-07:00

I got these adorable new Seychelles shoes from Solestruck.com. They just arrived today.... love 'em!

I went on a little online Shoe Shopping Spree at Zappos and got these adorable new shoes.

These cute Rocket Dog wedges were a big hit at work!

These Steve Madden shoes look sporty, but still have some height.

These high heeled sneakers by Diba are very fun!

French Connection UK Dresses - On Sale!

2008-03-18T17:26:00.000-07:00

I stumbled into French Connection (aka FCUK) last week and they were having a big sale. I was looking for a party dress, but the deals were soooo great I ended up with two. This was the kind of deal where they're already on sale, then marked down another 50%... love it!

This one's called 'Crystal Pleats'

This one's called 'Animal Magic'

My New Entertainment Center

2008-02-17T15:44:00.000-08:00

I finally put together my new Entertainment Center from IKEA. It's so beautiful, I wanted to show you all! It was hard work, and I'm very sore, but it was all worth it, don't you think?

I bought... Carbon Offsets!

2008-02-14T15:37:00.001-08:00

I know it's not terribly glamorous, but I thought I'd buy the world a little Valentine's gift today. A whole ton of Carbon Offsets... woo hoo!

Post-holiday Shopping!

2008-01-04T10:39:00.000-08:00

Okay, I haven't posted anything in a long time. It's not because I haven't been shopping, but I guess I just wasn't feeling super inspired. My post-holiday shopping binges have left me feeling more into sharing though, so here goes!

I got this adorable LeSportsac wallet at Macy's. Not on sale, but I had to get it because I have been looking for a wallet with a strap for soooo long. In the past I have added a strap to my own wallets (with moderate success) but really wanted one that came with a strap. This is perfect for me as I bring a backpack to work everyday and don't want to take it out when I head out for lunch, so I just take my wallet out. So helpful to have a strap on it!

To continue my obsession with wallets, bags, and luggage I got this new Delsey Helium Lite luggage set on after xmas sale bargain at Macy's. I'm so excited to have a matching set of rolling luggage. I've learned that an overnight bag that doesn't roll is just too heavy for me and a pain to lug around.

The Warehouse Sale - Denim Bargains

2007-07-01T15:58:00.000-07:00

Went to the fabulous Warehouse Sale today and got these great new jeans (at over 1/2 off)!

These Chip & Pepper jeans fit great.

I have another pair of Yanuk jeans that I love and wanted to try another style, these are great too.

Gen Art Shop SF

2007-06-03T13:07:00.000-07:00

Went to the Gen Art Shop SF event last week, and had a great time and a few very good purchases. My companion Joe got all his shopping done for the year and we had some yummy cocktails.

Here's are the purchases that I could find photos of:

This lovely Quail necklace from J Balducci.

This fun tee from Chillers.

New Shoes are on their way!

2007-04-16T21:15:00.000-07:00

I was sick at home this weekend, and very bored, so got sucked into some online shopping. Shoes.com was having a sale so I ordered these great shoes. Hopefully they're just as cute in person.

BC Footwear - Gimme Some Sugar wedge - super cute and an amazing deal

Michael Kors - Newton peeptoe - I've been eyeing these for a while

Via Spiga - Book sandals - if they're as comfy as they are cute these will be my favorite sandal this summer

Red Kenneth Cole Tote

2007-02-13T12:41:00.000-08:00

Just got this fab red tote by Kenneth Cole Reaction from Smartbargains . It's big, but not too big. Although I'm going to test if my laptop will fit in it.

Grace at Bloomies

2007-01-09T21:06:00.000-08:00

Kimball and I went shopping today and we both had good luck at Urban Outfitters.
I got this lovely sweater dress, along with an adorable babydoll sweater and cute printed tee (couldn't find pics for the sweater or tee).

I should also mention my very exciting purchase recently of a fabulous motorcycle-style black leather jacket from Karen Millen (wonderful new store from the UK in the new San Francisco Centre). I wish I could find a picture of it, it's really outstanding.

Bloomingdale's Opening Day

2006-10-02T21:07:00.000-07:00

Sarah drove us to the Napa Outlets on Labor Day. Got several lovely new things.

I got these great BCBG "Daria" wool trousers.

Also got these adorable gloves from Timberland.

Couldn't find pictures but also got a charcoal wool blend dress and brown satin quilted jacket at Banana Republic, and socks at Calvin Klein.

Shoe Spree at Nordstrom

2006-08-22T08:52:00.000-07:00

Went to Nordstrom after work last night to pick up some more of the wonderful Creamy Concealor by Bobbie Brown (works great on my dark circles) and got sucked into the shoe department. I picked up these two adorable pairs of shoes... just shows that you always find good stuff when you're not looking.
Love these distressed peep toe Mary Janes by Seychelles
I kept coming back to these sweet patent leather pumps by Boutique 58. I was really attracted to the heel, much lower that I've been getting lately, and hoping that they'll be a little more walkable than most of my shoes!

New Rounded Toe Pumps

2006-07-03T08:30:00.000-07:00

I ordered these adorable rounded toe pumps by N.Y.L.A. from Nordstrom last week on sale for only $39.90. The price has since gone down, but they don't have my size anymore. Glad I jumped on it. They're very cute, and actually pretty comfortable!

Upcoming Sample Sales

2006-05-20T18:11:00.000-07:00

Just thought I'd share with you the sample sales coming up in San Francisco:

I'm definitely going to Shecky's, already got my tix!

Underground Denim Sample Sale

2006-05-20T17:43:00.000-07:00

Just got back from the wonderful Underground Demin sample sale at the Embarcadero Center. It was a 2 hour wait to get in, but the deals were worth it (making friends in line helped with the waiting too... thanks ladies!). They had a great selection of denim, t-shirts, sweats, and summer skirts.

I got these James Jeans...
these Joe's Jeans...
this People's Liberation hoodie (in blue)...
and this Ella Moss asymetrical skirt (in blue)

also got a couple of great Splendid shirts and a Linea Pelle belt. The prices were great, $60 each for the jeans, $30 each for the hoodie, skirt, and belt, and $15 each for the shirts.

Pre-Vacation Shopping Spree

2006-04-26T17:10:00.000-07:00

Went on a pre-vacation shopping spree on Sunday with Sarah. Got a couple great pairs of sandals, like the Max Studio sandals pictured here on sale 40% off at Macy's. I couldn't find a picture of the beautiful Calvin Klein sandals that I got there... too bad they're adorable.

Also got a bunch of cute clothes to wear during my vacation in Costa Rica at H&M and Zara.

Luv Shoes?

2006-03-16T22:41:00.000-08:00

Macy's had another fun shoe event tonight called Luv Shoes? featuring Meghan Cleary. What could be wrong with shoes and cocktails (thanks Bacardi Melon)? Nothing... that's what. Wasn't quite in the mood to actually buy any of the cute springy shoes on a cold and rainy night, but Sarah picked up a couple pairs... go Sarah!

Here's a pic of me with a cocktail (of course) and a shoe cookie :-)

Nicole's Big Girl Shoes

2006-03-09T17:54:00.000-08:00

My friend Nicole just bought her first pair of shoes with heels. I'm so proud of her!
They are this very cute pair of Seychelles.

Denim Sample Sale

2006-02-19T17:36:00.000-08:00

Went to the big denim sample sale today put on by The Warehouse Sale. This was their first time visiting SF and the crowds were crazy. We waited in line to get in over an hour and the line to the dressing room was probably a half hour... yikes!

The selection was huge though. I've never seen so many jeans in one place. Check out the huge 'pile 'o jeans' in the dressing room.

I ended up with another pair of Yanuk jeans. You may remember that I got a pair at the last Billion Dollar Babes sale. The price here wasn't as good as at BDB, but it was still about 1/2 off.

Patrice got fabulous pair of Kasil jeans, price looks to be well over 50% off too.

Mega Shoe Deal

2006-02-09T10:42:00.000-08:00

Scored a great deal on a pair of Aerosole wedge mocs at DSW the other day. They were on clearance, and I had a $5 off coupon. Grand total..... $5.40!!!!! Got them in black. The pic is of a slightly different shoe, but very close.

P.S. I've been shopping quite a bit at H&M lately, but can't find pics of the goods, so haven't posted my purchases there to the blog. Let me just say.... Fabulous!!!!!!!

This blog is famous!

2006-01-21T13:23:00.000-08:00

Well... sort of. The Budget Fashionista (a great site) has started a listing of blogs, and I'm on it! Very exciting. Please check it out!

Belated Report of Macy's after xmas sale

2006-01-21T13:03:00.000-08:00

This is a very belated report of the fabulous buys at Macy's after xmas sale. I got a Fossil watch fob (for hiking 'cause I hate wearing a watch on my wrist when I'm hiking), a sweater, and two "going out" tops from Studio M all for about $40. Patrice got an absolutely gorgeous 9 West brocade coat with faux fur collar ($50, marked down from $160, I think) and black silk top (around $20). Her son, Evan's apt description that she looked like a movie star in this outfit sealed the deal!

I couldn't find any pics online of our buys (except the watch shown below), so I had to get our pictures taken at my birthday get-together (here at Lucky 13) in our purchases. I couldn't seem to take a decent picture that night, but this is the best of them. Patrice photographed great, as always!

H&M Grand Opening!

2005-11-23T15:31:00.000-08:00

Well, despite my preparing for Thanksgiving travel the next morning, I couldn't resist the trip to the H&M Grand Opening on Saturday morning. I knew there would be a line to get in, but I was completely overwhelmed by the reality of it. I arrived at 9:00 am, an hour before the doors opened, to find the line snaking down Powell, around the corner and all the way down Ellis, around the corner again and 3/4's of the way up Stockton, practically to O'Farrell. I was feeling a bit dishearten of ever getting in, but I figured that if I gave up my precious Saturday morning sleep-in I had to make it worthwhile.

I got to chatting with my neighbors in line, an Old Navy employee and her boyfriend (who was there quite willingly, by the way) and a couple of Macy's personal shoppers! It seems that the retail world was just as excited as the rest of us to see the new H&M store. We were pretty sure that we wouldn't get the 20% discount or the t-shirt promised to the first 200 hundred people in. My guess is that we were around number 750 in line, which numbered up to 1000, or so I read.

Excited H&M employees came by with candy and swag (which was all gone by the time they got to our end of the line) to try to keep our spirits up. I witnessed a wrestling match over a freebie thrown to the crowd, which turned out to be a set of H&M playing cards. Definitely not worth the broken finger nail the losing wrestler received for her trouble.

Finally at 10:00 the line started moving. Fortunately the wait wasn't too long. I got in a mere 30 minutes after the opening. I headed upstairs pretty quickly to the Stella McCartney section and found the cut-throat crowds that I feared. There wasn't too much left to grab up, but I did manage a silk camisole by Stella. I didn't see much else in my size so I toured through the rest of the store.

I picked up several adorable, and wonderfully affordable pieces, including a pair of tweed pants, a mohair cardigan, and nubby tweed skirt, as well as a few lovely t-shirts. As I was weaving through the girls trying on their booty in the middle of the floor, I spied one of the silk Stella blouses that was only available in size 12 upstairs. My lucky stars, it was my size!!! I really lucked out that someone decided to abandon it among the sweat pants.

Then on to the challenge of the check out line. By that time I was hot, tired and dehydrated... silly me forgot to bring water :-( But I had to press on, so I got to chatting with the girl ahead of me in line. She had been #28 in line to get in the store, arriving at 3:30 am all the way from San Diego! What dedication to shopping, I was truly impressed. After a few delays (the credit card connection went down for a little while) I finally paid for my pile-o-clothes. I won't divulge the total, but I will say that I got everything for an average of $20 per piece :-)

Finally at home I got to try everything on (believe me, I wasn't going to even look at the dressing rooms or try on in the aisles). Yay... everything fits. I think I will return one item because I realize I have something very similar to it already. Otherwise I'm keeping it all. Half of my new purchases ended up in the suitcase for my trip to LA (still H&M-less).

So, a couple of hints about H&M. The sizing is European, so buy everything a size larger than you normally do. I think the sizes are probably more true than many American stores who trick you into buying it just because you are so excited to fit into a small size ;-) The other is buy it when you see it. From all I've heard, and my experience in New York, they produce small lots of everything and are constantly restocking with new stuff. In New York I bought everything too small (before I figured out the sizing) and when I went back the next day to exchange for the next size up the items I bought were all gone.

As for the insanity of the H&M grand opening, I'd say it was worth it. I love my purchases, and am glad to be able to say I was there the first day.

My trip to Old Navy

2005-11-15T18:56:00.000-08:00

I had a shopping jones the other night, so I made a trip to Old Navy. I got this fabulous tweed coat. It was marked $88, but for some reason I was only charged $59.50! I guess it was on sale and I didn't even know it... I love it when that happens.

I also got this lovely cashmere sweater in green for $44.50... as marked :-(

I'm so excited....

2005-11-09T19:18:00.000-08:00

...that the new H&M is opening in San Francisco on November 19th. I'm leaving town on the 20th, so I might not be able to make it there until I get back after t-day :-(

My laptop was feeling naked....

2005-10-27T18:50:00.000-07:00

... so I got it this adorable "skin" from Target. My laptop is very happy with her new outfit and I expect her to get alot of compliments next time I take her out in public. It even matches the laptop bag I got back in March.

I know that you're dying to know about the shoes I ordered, but they haven't arrived yet (I hate to delay gratification!).

Billion Dollar Babes

2005-10-23T19:53:00.000-07:00

Sarah & I made an early morning trip to the Billion Dollar Babes sample sale last Saturday. Despite the long lines and huge crowds, people didn't get grabby or nasty. I managed to get a couple of great deals, a pair of Yanuk jeans for only $40 (full price is $150 -$200!) and a sweet satin shell for only $10. I have to take up the jeans a few inches, but they fit great in every other way.

After the sample sale we made a quick trip over to Nordstrom Rack to look at shoes (I'm on a hunt for some brown shoes). No luck on the shoes that day, but I got a great Perlina bag in black leather for $50. I couldn't find a picture of the exact bag, but this one's close:

So, in the hunt for my brown shoes I ordered these online from Nordstrom. We'll see if I like them, they're supposed to be comfy...

Macy's Shoe Diva redux

2005-09-15T20:58:00.000-07:00

Macy's had another of their fun Shoe Diva parties. I was joined again by Sarah & Anne. We had a little self control and didn't buy any shoes... can you believe it? Especially surprising since we each had a couple of the Sofia sparkling wine in a can. I have to admit I had a bit of a headache the next day. I'm not sure if wine should be in a can, but it was kind of fun drinking it that way. Well, I may not have bought any shoes that night, but I was inspired to shop (see my next post about my trip to Loehmann's).

Macy's Shoe Diva's

Splendora Brow Event

2005-09-15T20:57:00.000-07:00

After the Macy's Shoe Diva event we trotted across the street to Neiman Marcus for the Splendora Brow Event. Anne & I got our brows done by the wonderful ladies from Bella Pelle salon... gratis! Here's a pic of Anne getting her browns done.

Brow Event at Neiman Marcus

My new Duvet & Shams

2005-08-29T18:06:00.000-07:00

I love the new duvet & shams that I picked up at West Elm yesterday. It was a lovely day to shop at the Corta Madera shopping center. They go great with everything in my apartment!

Tumbleweed Duvet

My new pumps

2005-08-29T17:56:00.000-07:00

I got these cute black pumps at Bandolino the other day. I was looking for something for Fall that was reasonably comfy. They look really cute with pants.

Calla shoe

My trip to the Napa Outlets

2005-08-07T21:47:00.000-07:00

What fun! Sarah took Bebe and me to the Napa Outlets this weekend. It was truly a shopping orgy. As you can see from this picture, we found plenty to buy.

Napa Outlet excursion

I got so much good stuff that I have to make a list:
1. DKNY Jeans - Jeans & a cute little smocked t-shirt
2. The Cosmetics Store - Stila lip gloss
3. Banana Republic - Ivory trousers, brown & white patterned sleeveless top, and a brown croco-leather purse
4. 9 West - pointy black pumps
5. Maxstudio - sleeveless v-neck striped top (originally $98 and I got it for $9.70!!!!!)
6. BCBG - Black & white print halter dress
7. Calvin Klein - 2 bras
8. Barney's New York - hair clip (the only thing I could afford there)

All of that for just over $300... can you believe it!!!!! It didn't hurt that I had coupons for almost all the stores that I got online.

After a very full day of shopping we had a lovely early dinner at Bounty Hunter's Wine Bar in downtown Napa.

My new suitcase

2005-06-08T18:38:00.000-07:00

Thought I'd post about my new suitcase. I bought the matching overnight bag several months ago and have been coveting the suitcase ever since. I finally broke down and bought it at SmartBargains where it was over half off! I think it's being discontinued, so I just couldn't wait any longer.

I get so many compliments on the overnight bag, I'm sure it will be the same with this one. Plus it will be so much easier finding my suitcase on the luggage carosel than my generic black one that looks like everyone elses. I feel so grown up having matching luggage :-)

Kenneth Cole suitcase

Party at Gumps

2005-05-06T21:40:00.000-07:00

Splendora Fresh Event at Gumps

Hi all,
Sorry it's been a while since I've written. Believe me, it's not from lack of shopping. My laptop was out of commission for a little while, but I'm back now. So, here I am with Annie, Denay, and Sarah at the Splendora Fresh Event at the famous Gumps department store in San Francisco. It was a very fun event on Cinco de Mayo, with Margaritas and hand massages. We were too impatient wait in line for the hand massages, but they looked great. The evening finished off with a nice little gift bag (I love the swag).

Shoe Orgy!

2005-04-17T21:29:00.000-07:00

Had a fabulous shoe orgy today with the girls. After a wonderful dim sum brunch we all headed over to Nordstrom Rack for shoe shopping. I got two new pairs of shoes... these adorable metallic Etienne Aigner at half off (see pic below) and some casual blue sandals by Italian Shoemakers (whatever that is). Pic of those in the next post in black, they're much cuter in blue though. Then, as if that wasn't enough, I stopped into my favorite Haight Street boutique Ambiance and found these fabulous cork wedges by Chinese Laundry... just what I was looking for (I got them in brown). I think this will do me for sandals for now!

I'm a personal shopper!

2005-04-04T20:29:00.000-07:00

What fun, being a personal shopper today! I took a quick trip to Macy's "Shoes on 2" today to help Jan find some shoes for her brother's wedding. She got these great shoes from Naturalizer (in more of a Bone shade though). Jan's a great turbo shopper.

Here are my new shoes from the Macy's party. They're so girly, I love them. They're by Dani Black (never heard of the brand before, but they had lots of cute shoes). Not on sale, but Sarah did have a $10 off coupon which took out the sting a very little bit.

Macy's "Shoe Diva" party

Hi all,
Here's my report on the Macy's shoe party on Thursday night. Here's a pic of me, Sarah & Anne with the shoe models. What can I say... shoes & wine (not cocktails, after all), what could be wrong with that? I guess we all had just enough wine, and too few appetizers, to loosen our wallets. I got a pair of beautiful pink satin slides (see the next post for the photo and details). Sarah got some Kenneth Cole sandals and a pair of fabulous snakeskin espadrilles by Via Spiga. Anne got a terrific summer sandal by BCBG, they looked perfect on her.

Thanks Sarah for getting us in!

Oh, and by the way, here I am in front of Mecca... aka Kate Spade!

I love shopping!

I thought I'd start this blog to share my shopping experiences. I love shopping, but what makes it even better is when I get a great deal. When that happens I always am dying to share it with everyone. Thought this would be a fun way to do that.

So, today I got this adorable new laptop bag from Liz Claiborne

Liz Claiborne "The Heights Tote" laptop bag

I found this while surfing online. First I saw it on ebay for a starting price of $49, but when I looked at Liz Claiborne.com I found that it was already on sale there for basically the same price, with none of the ebay hassle... yay! Another great deal, and my laptop looks fabulous in her new home.

Tomorrow night I'm off to Macy's Union Square for a special shoes and cocktails event.... can't wait. Maybe I'll have more to write after, if I buy anything.
