The Secret Shopaholics Thread #3

^ Actually, i've decided to get both! Just bought the clear Bougie lamp on ebay (for my table), and i'll get the rabbit next time I go to Liberty (for the floor). I love lamplight!

And you and Pamela Love were made for each other. I love how you say 'my Pamela Love pusher' - that's exactly what I call my friend who is always hooking me up with amazing jewels!

Uh, are they cheap on eBay? Congrats, they're both great lamps

And she sure is my PL pusher, she get's me stuff directly from PL, but they're cheaper than other places.

Ahhhh!!

Got the Grey Alexander Wang Diego!!

 

[Lila_M]

Congratulations! I absolutely love your bag!!!!

 

[Boots & Perfume]

It's beautiful lmelanie!! Do you mind me asking how much it was?

Ditte it wasn't that cheap - £150, but still cheaper than in the shop. The rabbit's about £75 I think.

A couple of things from American Apparel...a striped pullover and some Mouse nail polish.

Imelanie, your bag is just perfect

lmelanie: I LOVE that bag!!!

I just ordered these skinny jeans by Current/Elliott. So paranoid that I might have ordered the wrong size though. I tried them on in a store and the sz24 fit me perfectly though I'm usually between a 25 and 26, but on Revolve people say they're TTS, so I'm scared it might not have been this pair I had tried on

Got them on Amazon for half the price they cost in my country (and btw, they are made here in Slovenia )

Jinadaze that is too funny maybe you track down the factory outlet?

I've bought the following over the last couple of days:

Stackable jewlery organisers (I have a few of these and they are fantastic)
tiny serpent earrings
Vintage dress


first two from etsy.com, and the other two from ebay.com.au

No, they are cheaper than in SLO everywhere and they don`t have any outlet here. And yes, it is funny.

For some reason most websites list C/E as tts, but I have never found that to be the case. I have 6 pairs in different styles, and in every pair I wear at least one size smaller than my normal size. No worries - you should be fine.

Went to visit my sister at school for the weekend and went with her to Saks to do a little spring shopping (mostly for her). I wish I could post everything she got because she basically cleaned out the contemporary department... But I still got a couple of things myself - a DVF dress that I never would have bought had I not seen it in person and tried it on first.

I also got an ivory pintucked silk Joie blouse that I love but can't seem to find online. I tried on a really cute MBMJ sweater that I loved, but it's warming up already where I live, so I'm debating on whether it would be a good purchase since it's made of really thick cotton. What do you guys think??

My sis is a makeup fiend so we also hit up Sephora. I had been dying to try the lip look from the Prada SS10 show, so I did a little internet research until I found the exact color from Make Up For Ever. I am a huge fan of the orange lip - my go-to color last year was actually an orange Givenchy lipstick. For some reason orange doesn't look so out-of-the ordinary on me and is actually less shocking than red (I'm really pale with light brown hair). I also got YSL mascara, YSL and Anastasia brow pencils, and refill brushes for my Clarisonic. Oh, and I forgot that I got a baby bottle of Creme de Corps at Kiehl's in Saks because I always have a time trying to figure out how to transport my ginormous bottle of lotion.

jaimediane71 I love that Rodarte tee... I am going to browse the site now..

Thanks I really do hope they'll fit. I hate when denim brands are so off with their sizing. Even if I'm in a store trying on a pair of jeans I never have the patience to try on different sizes because it's so annoying when you know it could be anything from a 23 to a 27

BTW, love your make-up purchases. That gloss is such a nice color!

I just discovered All Saints when I was in South Beach the other weekend.

Got a couple of things including this tee and a pair of boots --- love the boots so comfy. Also a great sweater which I don't see online. My friend got a Rick Owens knock off jacket and honestly I liked it better on her than the RO original which she tried on at a store down the street.

Decided to get the MBMJ sweater and FINALLY got my hands on this T by Alexander Wang top. I found it at Saks online if anyone else needs it. They have all sizes atm.

[fika]

Ooh, where's it from, Caroule? Love it! I got a new dress too, I hope it's as nice IRL!
