a girl's best friend...

shopping is a girl's best friend.  that's how it goes, right?

i may (or may not) have gone a little overboard shopping recently.  it started with this melie bianco bag from ruche.  as you can see in previous posts, i've been eye-ing it for months. i really wanted to see a photo of someone holding it, so i could really get a feel for the size.  well, that happened. just as the bag went out of stock.

i stalked ruche for what seemed like forever, waiting for a restock. finally, magically, there was one back in stock! i was taking a bubble bath one saturday afternoon, checking ruche on my iphone... there it was. i leaped out of the bath tub, grabbed my credit card, and ordered it! EUREKA! 


only there was a problem on the site. it wasn't actually in stock. so ruche sent me an apology and a refund.  two days later, it's back in stock (for real!). and i scored one before it went of stock yet again.  it arrived monday, and i'm even more in love with it in person!

 i also may (or may not) have purchased this 1950s sofa and chair... but it was an amazing deal, and is in great condition.  i think of it as an investment. and when i finally find my house, it'll look amazing in it.  and not actually squished in my mother's dining room between the window, a rocking chair, and the table. thankfully she loves me and tolerates her squishy house due to my furniture addiction.

what i'm lusting this week...

in my non-shopping attitude, i'm in full on wanting mode.

a 'few' of the items on my want list this week?

this romper from lulu's... very practical, seeing as i can't wear it to work, and i already have an abundance of non-work clothing. but hey, that's the point of 'wanting' is it not?


i'm still in love with these seychelle shoes. clearly i should've invested in them back in october.

these gray cords from ruche.  i have on a brown velvet pair as we speak (figuratively... literally as we write/read). i love them.


again, another item i've had my eye on since it came online.  i love this maxi. i just can't figure out how i'd wear it to work.


this purse.  i actually may end up splurging on this one soon, as i've been wanting a boxy style purse for some time, and i'm crazy-madly-in-love with this one.


these tights. in any colour. again, i'm so practical.


i've been loving this dress since the fall. i so wish it came in another colour.  mustard doesn't bode well with my complexion.


this cutie that just came back in stock at modcloth.



are you detecting a trend yet?? hehe love this dress.


not shopping is HARD!
i don't recommend it.
so go shop. and buy me something.
:)
