What I bought today...

Katie <sphyrapi...@fakeaddress.com>
Well, actually yesterday and recently...
Yesterday, at my favourite consignment store:
–gorgeous deep red merino wool Banana Republic v–neck cardigan
–apple green turtleneck – this one had no tags but I'm pretty sure
it's cashmere or cashmere blend. The salesperson and the store owner
both commented on it when I bought it, saying that because it didn't
have any tags, they priced it as though it's synthetic but that it
seems not to be.
Also yesterday:
–haircut, highlights touch–up and brow wax.
–Rialto Naturals body washes in Pina Colada and Margarita (on sale at
Shoppers' Drug Mart)
Recently, from Winners:
–Born "Elm" loafers in dark brown; very comfortable
http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/644885/c/69.html
–black Franco Sarto "Marra" boots/pumps/whatever
http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/1923054/c/20738.html ; surprisingly
comfortable but I haven't tried walking much in them yet.

Oh MY I LOVE the soles on these shoes! Not sure if these are my style
but...all of my shoes are starting to look the same to me, so perhaps a
change is in order? (aka: RUT) however, I have a very narrow foot and need
to try them on...dashing off to google....

*finally* got around to buying NARS Orgasm blush (however passe to most of
you it's exciting to me)
and of course stoppped off at the MAC counter and indulged in:
"Spice" lip pencil
""Viva Glam V" lipstick
"Beaded" e/s
"Haux" e/s
Beaded seems a bit more "golder" than Shroom. I think it'll be good for my
fall/winter pallette.

Yesterday I met Audrey for a delicious lunch and then a shopping visit to
Nordstrom's, Neiman's and the Marni Shoe store. Audrey shopped at Nordstroms
prior to my picking her up. Neiman's is having their In Circle event, I
bought a Chanel nail polish in Pirate, a lipstick from the holiday collection
(a red, forgot the name) and a quad of the eyeshadows. Received their free
gift which contains a small Jaipur lipgloss and some Chanel body lotion. No
luck with shoes for me, I whined a bit to Audrey about how tough it is to buy
shoes in the larger sizes. Will check the web now and hoping for better
results.
Always enjoy Audrey's visits. We shared pics of our trips this year over
lunch. :)

Heather, do you recall what the real name of the knock off is? Which
one did you purchase?

Tiffany ice bucket for clients/friends who tied the knot (secretly) in Tahiti.

alas, there was no name on these. But it included in a gingham tin–
bath salts– white chocolate
bath cremes– white chocolate and a mocha latte, I believe?
bath fizzy
"chocolate bar" soap
bath sponge
bath scrubby
I found them on top of the magazines of all places. YUMMY scented stuff too.
And the soap lathers quite well.

At our holiday shopping boutique luncheon:
A Mary Frances red fabric handbag (not the hard shell type) adorned with beads
and a tassel. Very pretty, I am so happy with this purchase.
Very nice contemporary brass and copper jewelry (soldering involved here and I
do not have soldering equipment) of circles. A necklace and earrings, will
look good with rusts, beiges browns and blacks.

I love them, too! They've become my everyday shoe. The soles were
one of the reasons I picked them up to begin with and was very pleased
that they fit so well.
