This summer I want.... HANDBAGS.

Even better, is that I want to MAKE my handbags.

I have all this pretty ideas in my head...

I NEED A SEWING MACHINE!!!

Clothes-wise, I'm currently obsessive with pink. Help me.

I want sundresses and skirts with ruffles. Anything really feminine.

I need summer clothes. I need to go shopping. I have no idea what to buy. I guess I will have to buy everything. ;) I wish! :p

Yeah, I completely agree w most of you... I spend decent amounts of money on things that I know will never go out of style, but for really trendy stuff or stuff that I know I won't wear all the time, I def check out bargain buys...

I love TJ Maxx...they have some really cute brand clothes for soo cheap.

I do most of my shoe shopping at Payless or Tar-jay....

BTW - check these out...cute right? I think they'd be a good pair to wear to my internship this summer.

My wish....
 

Although my birthday is not in the Spring or Summer, this is what I want to buy as a birthday present to myself:

I have from now until September to work on my "Louis Vuitton" trust fund. :D

Manolo slides, mules, pumps are timeless and pretty classy. Once Jennybenny wore the Okla Mods, they've been subject to lots of knock-offs. Same with those LV Murakami handbags, which I just don't get.

Does anyone know the legitimacy of iFashionMall.com? It's a website that's supposed to sell designer items for discounted prices.

The only legit designer website I know of is Eluxury.com .

did anyone pick up anything lately?

I'm going to NYC this weekend and I'm forecasting some major shopping at H&M and Century 21.

In the meantime, I bought some cute wedges at Payless. I don't know what it is about red shoes but they sucker me in every time!

Recent shopping
 

Last weekend, I picked up a turquoise cashmere cardigan at Nordstrom Rack which was 75% off retail. Beautiful piece and I can still wear it now, because SoCal weather is erratic (gloomy, drizzly at times), as well as a pair of white Talora (Nordstrom house brand) pants.

Over the past month I've been in the clothes shopping mood: hopefully, it will pass soon, because I really don't have the $ for this jones...

I went to Nordstrom Rack with an old GCer, Pretty Kitty, who was in town. I bought a pair of Earl Jeans, some tan low rider trousers, a pair of black ankle strap heels with white stitching and a few shirts/belts.

Then I went to Macys (I did this first I think) and bought a pr. of DNKY hip huggers on sale

Then I went to Marshalls for some Felina lingerie and other low rider lingerie items.

I bought an "India.Arie" style purse from Payless.

Last week, I went to the Saks secret sale and picked up a pair of Donald Pliner sandals at 40% off. I'd gone to pick up a Lamberson Truex bag, but alas the styles I wanted weren't on sale. Woman I befriended at Saks was estatic to pick up a pair of Channel heeled mules, Gucci sport and Pliner shoes for $625 total.

I didn't have the energy to go to the Neiman Marcus secret sale yesterday.

Still need:
-a pair of brown sandals
-a pair of espadrilles (there was a cute Kate Spade pair on sale last week at Saks, but couldn't justify the cost for ESPADRILLES!)
-a pair of flip flops
-a pair or two of cargo capri pants
-a Tracy Ross or Betsey Johnson-esque dress
-a flirty skirt
-a few small v-neck tees
-two pairs of bootcut legged trousers for work
- a couple of tailored blouses for work
-A LAMBERTSON TRUEX PURSE! :)

That's it for now! :D

girl, you know you can get all of those at Payless if you aren't trying to spend a lot of money. I already picked up 2 pairs of flip flops, some faux leather India-style sandals, and a pair of lace up espadrilles from there. (I know, I know, I'm addicted!)

I will have to check those out! :D

I bought a cute pair of black Jennifer Moore sandals at Macy's last week.

I still need a lot of stuff.
