Karen Millen Sweater

Katherine and I had a lovely shopping outing today and I got this fabulous sweater at Karen Millen... half off!!!

Shoe Shopping Spree

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!

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

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!

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!

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

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

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!

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

The Underground Denim Sale is this weekend at the Embarcadero Center.

Red Kenneth Cole Tote

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

Little Grace had her first visit to Bloomies to check out the after xmas sale. She got an adorable nightie... on sale, of course!

"Daaarling... I always shop at Bloomies"

I feel pretty :-)

Great shopping in SF!

Katherine and I went to the Billion Dollar Babes sample sale yesterday. I got a beautiful silk blouse by Wendy Hil and a gorgeous cashmere cardigan from Tree.

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

Bloomingdale's just opened in San Francisco. I went with Sarah and Kaz to the preview night. Five floors of fabulous shopping!


Kaz makes friends!


Sarah's Favorite... Elie Tahari

Shoe Diva Party

Sarah, Anne, and I went to the latest Shoe Diva party at Macy's.


Runway show


Wacky Betsy Johnson shoes!

Napa Outlets Labor Day Trip

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

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

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!
