Cuttin Corners

Much to my dismay, Target is running the same set of Black Friday commericals from last year. I guess everyone's trying to save money these days. But am I the only one who hates these commericals? They creep me out.

What am I missing

I don't get the appeal of Missoni but it seems to be all the rage. I don't see it. I am staring at it but I just don't see it.


It might just cause a complex. I don't get Lilly Pulitzer patterns either but at least when I look at those patterns I see beach house furnishings.


Do you love it or hate it?

Signs from a Mall







I wanted to buy to buy all three but didn't think Mister would appreciate the sentiments...

Say Cheese

I am in the market for a new camera.

The last camera I bought looked this...
Anybody have a camera they just love? Any camera buying tips?

Ode to Zappos

I love you. I love how easy and worry free you making shopping. If you were a man, I'd marry you.

I just order these and I can't wait for them to arrive tomorrow.


I have heard great things about these compression pants. However in my shopping excitment, I forget to research if they make your butt look smaller. Cause I tend to neglect what I don't see and that hasn't served my back side very well.

But so be it, because if I look scary in them I know I can return them with no problem because I love Zappos and Zappos loves me.

It's the Little Things in Life



I am wearing this boyfriend jacket from Boden today. I am in love. I am not sure if it's the fit, quality, or pretty lining but I didn't even mind getting up and driving into the office today.
This is my first purchase from Boden. They sucked me in with their buy two items get the third for a $1 promo a few weeks ago. I am sold.
Have you shopped Boden.com?

That Time of Year

Like clockwork, I start shopping the second week of November, and spending too much. Seems normal with Christmas around the corner. But what spurs this spree is my birthday. It's next weekend.

I am a firm believer in doing my own birthday shopping. I always get what I want and there's no need to write thank you notes. However this year I wanted to keep it to a minimum especially since extra money seems to be hard to come by these days. So when I made plans with a co-worker to hit up the AmericasMart for some Christmas present shopping I was a bit concerned because I am like a kid in a silver store there. Seriously, silver jewelry galore. Monogrammable. I get getty just thinking about it.

But I remained fairly controlled and only walked out with this for me The charm behind the "A" says Fowler and I couldn't decide if that was gay or not because I know people often put their kids names or something inspirational. But Lolly's really name wouldn't fit and heck she's 14. My mommy jewelry days are behind me. Plus I think Mister finds it comforting when ever I have our last name or monogram put on something. It's like a sign that I haven't changed my mind about him.

The chain, 2 charms, the engraving, and the pearl came in at about $35. I thought that was pretty darn good. Especially if you don't know about the clothes I ordered from Boden shortly before getting up from my desk to head to the mart...

Everybody Has Their Day

It's National Lilly Day. I know there are a lot of Lilly lovers out there. I am not really one of them. Maybe because I am mostly a solid wearing girl or that fact that growing up in Northern Indiana I'd never seen any Lilly.

Either way, it's a bit lost on me. Unless perhaps I lived at the beach or needed a cute duvet or couch cover for a condo.

What about you, are you a lover? hater? indifferent?

Christmas Alway Comes Early

for me and probably a lot of you. I do my best shopping for myself during the holidays. I use to feel bad about it but now realize that it's just because I am out shopping more and there are more deals. It just makes sense.
I saved a ton of money shopping at LLBean online on Cyber Monday for myself. I've picked up a few finds out at the stores while shopping for others. But my favorite find of the season, is this...



sterling silver monogrammed ring I got yesterday, thanks to a co-worker who took me along to the AmericasMart Atlanta. (sorry for the blurry picture). What I love the most about this gem is that it cost me no more than $13, that's including the engraving!!! And it was ready before we left the Mart. Love it!

I Thought You Would Never Come

Seriously, I was beginning to think I just dreamt that I ordered a pair of sandals. I had waited and thought about ordering a pair for so long that when I called and Vivian answered the phone I was too stunned to even make small talk. I ordered and I waited, waited, and waited and just when I thought I should call and check the reality of my order, they arrived today. They are worth every stinkin minute of waiting. (70 days from order to delivery)

I want them in every color! Would it be too obnoxious to have my monogram on every pair?

Shoe Heaven and Quantity vs Quality

Where have I been? Have I been living in a cave? No I've been shopping at the lamest mall in the Atlanta area because it's close to my home. But yesterday I was in Buckhead so I stopped at Phipps Plaza to look for these, Tory Burch Revas.

I stopped by the Tory Burch store where I am sad to say the customer service was less than par. By less than par I mean if there's two people in the store and one is looking at shoes wouldn't you ask "would you like to see a shoe?" I guess not, so I headed hereWhere the heavens opened up and rays of sun shined down into the shoe department. I need to get out more often. The sizes, the selections. Gone are my days of looking for size 5.5 and 6 shoes at lame department stores. Nordstrom's is now my shoe hook up. I tried the Revas on and I am sad to say that they looked completely dorky on me. Maybe it's just me and my pointy toe shoe habit but my feet looked too miniature. So I ended up with these.


Much cuter in person and $135 less than what I was expecting to spend, which I quickly spent at Intimacy.

I foresee a lot more miles being put on my car in the future, all in the name of shopping. Which may seem counter to my previous clutter post, but is not. I've learned over the years it's better to buy quality not quantity. In my 20's I was a quantity girl, then realized the error of my ways and became a quality girl in my 30's but felt bad spending the money on myself. Now in my 40's you better believe I am worth it!!

Being the planner that I am, I recently started my Christmas shopping. Sounds good in theory but in reality it usually means one for you, one for me, and one for Lolly. Such was the case with these cute monogrammed pens from The Palm Gifts.
My pictures don't do them justice. They came cutely wrapped. Head over to http://www.thepalmgifts.com/, They have all kinds of monogrammed gifts for everyone on your shopping list.
