Exerpts from my wishlist

So target.com has this really great feature called a wishlist. It lets you add things to it and you can view your favorite items and even send your wishlist to friends and family as a guide for gift shopping (for birthdays, Christmas, etc.). It’s sort of like a wedding registry only you’re not getting married [...]

July already?

Wow! Long time no post!
Summer is underway up here, well underway. Ridiculously, hotly, humidly underway.
The skirts I so longed for in spring are now fun and lovely, but it is still annoying to shave one’s legs every day.
Also, I have discovered that I do not have nearly enough cute, summery blouses.
I am happily employed post-graduation [...]

Money doesn’t grow on trees…

But it certainly seems to slip away like swift-falling rain.
I’m sorry, was that poetical?
At any rate, I’m back from the cities with more books than clothing, alas. I did, however, get a good pair of nice dark jeans, some very cute wide-leg grey dress pants from H&M, and really cute, but sensible work shoes from [...]

Through snow, through sleet…

Okay, so maybe that title hearkens to the postman’s oath, but the big winter storm looming may postpone my trip to the Twin Cities for a shopping spree! I might chance it anyway. *grin*

So, part of why I love shopping so much is the thrill of the hunt… for the perfect bargain! And when I found myself at Target today, just to buy hair care stuff, I found myself irresistibly drawn toward the clearance clothes racks. And then stopped by the shoes. And ended up with a black [...]

Quality?

When has it become acceptable to charge $120 for a pair of pumps constructed wholly of man-made materials?
Why is it impossible to find anything stylish in wool and why does it cost twice as much as everything else?
What is happening to quality, people? Even the upscale stores are carrying sweaters made entirely or predominantly of [...]

Fashiontainment

I am officially addicted to Project Runway. It’s a little sick. We don’t have Bravo, so a friend of mine downloads them from the website and we tend to watch several at a time. The best part? No commercials!
I also saw The Devil Wears Prada this past weekend. It was pretty awesome. Meryl Streep as Meredith was [...]

Too Many Shoes?

I went on a trip to the twin cities (aka Minneapolis-St. Paul) this weekend with a club from school and, of course, we went to the mall. I was searching for a nice, flirty black skirt for social dance, and some dance shoes if possible. I found both: a black A-line skirt from H&M with [...]
