The Secret Shopaholics Thread

[iLoveCouture]

nice to hear a good review! just out of curiosity, are they relatively cheaply priced in the u.s? here they sell them at a fairly expensive boutique (they carry isabel marant, dries, marni, chloe etc) so they're around the $70-$80 price point....it's not outrageous but average prices for tshirts here are probably $20-$40....i'm used to things being marked up a lot here in aus. so i thought they're probably much cheaper in the u.s...

My shirts were around $50 USD.

oh well that's very reasonable then...thanks!...

hanne, karma isnt enough to express the love for that angular dress. I wish you would show us a picture of you wearing it, Im sure it's eyepopping beautiful on you.

finally finished off my personal wish list for fall...gary graham shibori henley top and shibori leggings with an APC black denim skirt to wear over them.

Marni is going to have to wait until sales, major sales!

Something told me I needed to stop in Banana Republic, where I haven't been in years ... I guess it was this sweater calling my name. All sweaters are 30-40% off in store ... Actually mine has a shirred neck & sleeves, and fuller bell sleeves, but this is the closest they have online ...

gossiping, I love those moc boots. peter pan with some tread.

ta-ta, that purple is totally delicious and I'm sure the bell sleeves make it.

inaya, innocent with tons of tude, very you! I like how the texture is under the layers.

cutxpaste, happy birthday. you got some great gifts, all of them seem so thoughtful and filled with love.

softgrey, since when have i ever been able to pass on something so good, at least to me? as eccentric as they are, I couldn't get them out of my mind and when I saw them, wonk, I had to have them. even though I never wear leggings, these were different, they have a purpose; warmth under skirts, not to mention I love the shibori technique, reminds me of shredded bamboo.

 

[softgrey]

...
oh i really like them and i DO wear leggings so i'm a fan..
i just thought you said you were gonna pass...
...
i'm glad you got them since they seem to make you really happy...

hanne- the things from maxmara are AMAZING!...

Thanks softie - I agree the black halo dress is very RM.. revolverclothing only gave bust meassurements.. so I'm hoping it will fit allround..

hanne, karma isnt enough to express the love for that angular dress. I wish you would show us a picture of you wearing it, Im sure it's eyepopping beautiful on you.

finally finished off my personal wish list for fall...gary graham shibori henley top and shibori leggings with an APC black denim skirt to wear over them.

Will do luckyme - will you be osing pictures as well ?

I like the color/pattern combo on the Emanuel Ungaro (looks more brown/white than black/white) and what a bargain Seanutbutter!
