This is the place to post all your shopping exploits.

I went to Ulta & got an OPI Do You Lilac It nail polish for 20% off w/ coupon. I was happy to find it since it's apparently HTF.

Haven't been to BBW yet, but hope to go in tonight.

I went on a few errands today, first to the PO to mail some swaps, then over to the mall. I exchanged my Candy Baby mist for one that works properly and then stopped into Things Remembered to exchange something else.

I ended up choosing this really cute keepsake box. I thought it was pretty to keep some small jewelry items in that I wear all the time, even without getting it engraved!

Meg, that jewellery box is adorable!!!

I got a few Orange Freeze 3-in-1s from eBay.
With shipping they still came slightly under the retail price per bottle, so I am happy.

I did a little shopping today. I went to BBW, VS, and Things Remembered. I will post in the respective threads.

At Things Remembered I ordered a Quilt for one of my sisters wedding gifts. I also picked my dress up from being altered, and my husbands new suit from being tailored. This has been an expensive couple of months.

Meg, I saw that jewelry box today. It is really pretty.

The money you spend on alterations can get really high.
I had to get a bunch of stuff altered awhile ago, and I had to spend almost $200.
Gizmo, I am sure you'll look fabulous in your dress!

I got this clutch (in lava) in the mail today. When I ordered it there was a 30% discount on it.

Fryl, I absolutely love your new clutch.
I love the color you chose as well.

I agree about alterations, I didnt realize how pricey they can be.

Meg, I LOVE that keepsake box! You're right, it's cute even without the engraving.

Gizmo, I didn't realize how pricey alterations are either until I had to have some pants altered. Sometimes it almost seems cheaper to buy something new!

Nice clutch, Fryl!!

Thanks everyone for the compliments!

The funny thing about the keepsake box is that, right underneath the lid, on the inside, would be where the engraving would be, not the outside of the box! I guess this would be cute if you had sort of a "message" for someone, but that costs a lot to engrave and I got it for myself! It seems kind of funny to pay for an engraving you wouldn't even see it on the outside of the box!

P.S. You guys are so cute with all of your adorable clutches!

I think it's a good idea to have the engraving inside just in case you want to write something personal and don't want everyone to see it.

Thanks for the compliments on my new clutch, ladies. I love it. The bamboo accent is really cute.

I did a little shopping today.

At Ulta, I exchanged my OPI Do You Lilac It nail polish for some other colors. There's a B2G1F deal going on this month, so I ended up getting An Affair In Red Square, Jewel Of India, & Vodka & Caviar.

I stopped by Books-A-Million & got 4 chick lit books from the 75% off ($4 each) clearance bin. I was in the mood for some summer reading. Now I remember why I don't visit bookstores too often; I end up seeing too much stuff I want.

ETA: Meg, that is a cute jewelry box.

Megan-Just curious what color Vodka and Caviar is? Thanks!

I got a new cell phone today. It's a purple Motorola. There weren't any pink phones in stock, so that had to do. I've been spending some time tonight downloading new ringtones & wallpapers.

Mardi, Vodka & Caviar is a medium red. I'm going to post a more detailed review of my new polishes in the OPI thread.

I just made an Avon order from the wonderful Lovey! I bought this really cute tote for my beauty items for only $2.99! I love the stripes!

Thanks again, Meg! I hope you like it!

I ran to the mall this morning. I went to Claires and BBW, which I will post in the SAS thread. I also stopped at YC, I smelled all the new Fall scents. Nothing really wowed me, so I passed. Their SAS was pretty disappointing as well. I left empty handed.

At Claires I bought a couple different things for my hair. I will test them out and see which one I want to wear for the wedding.

This evening I stopped at the mall. I went to Clinique and BBW. The only thing I bought at Clinique is new foundation. I have been using the same color that I use in the winter. I was actually 2 shades darker than what I have been using, Oops. My skintone is Olive, but once summer hits I get tan pretty easily. The SA also through tons of free samples in my bag.

I went to Target tonight & got:
Cosmo (Jul. issue)
Coppertone SPF 45 sunscreen
Travel sized nail polish remover

I'm going to the beach starting next weekend, so these things will definitely be helpful.

I went to the mall today.

VS:
3 So Sexy volumizing shampoos

Express:
3 pairs of Eva jeans

I also got a few things from BBW, but posted my purchases from there in the sale thread.

I picked up a really neat looking kitchen scale at Williams-Sonoma.
I found a picture of it, but mine is in red.
