Retail Therapy is about five
very different ladies with one thing in common... We're insanely addicted to
shopping! Sometimes we splurge on frivolous items and/or of necessity, great
quality, and comfort. We spend to our boundaries and apparently
those boundaries are pretty high! When there's extra money to burn, there's
things to splurge on! Our style site isn't just all about our latest
purchases or a place to brag either. We strive to supply you with
information and reviews on the hottest items in season or straight classic.
You'll find our top fashion faves to sexy outfits pulled together to even
our fave places to shop! Not only do we love to shop but we talk about
shopping, think about shopping, and dream about shopping. But of course
every shopaholic could relate to our madness.

 I went to the mall today and suprisingly, I only came home with 3 items from one store! I went to Sephora and bought this yummy-smelly 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner, and body wash called "Coconut Cream Pie" by Philosophy, lavender Bourjois lipgloss, and Sephora oil blotting sheets. Yay me!

CAUGHT RED HANDED!Mark and I went out grocery shopping last night and we took my car. After all the shopping was done and we headed back to the car, I realized that I had some shopping bags in the trunk (they're all empty) so I suggested that we put the groceries in the back seat. I'm not a very good liar and Mark knows when I lie so he started laughing at me when he opened the trunk to find Coach, Nordstroms, and Wet Seal shopping bags. LOL. I told you I was bad! We started discussing my "problem" and that he needed to help me quit. He suggested taking away my ATM card and just giving me an allowance, but I don't know how well that would work because what if something happens when I'm out with Jacob and I don't have enough money? You always gotta be prepared, you just never know sometimes. But I seriously need to slow down.... P.S. I bought books at Amazon.com.

I confess...I bought something. Actually 3 things... I bought two silk scarves from work (Coach) one is brown, orange, and cream, the other is blue, a lighter blue, and powder blue, and I bought a pale blue leather CD case. UUGGHh!! I suck at this whole *take a deep breath* on-a-shopping-strike-trying-to-stop-my-addiction-and-support-my-cause-thing! I need to attend a Shopaholics Anonymous meeting! Can anybody tell me where one is held?

I've been very good about shopping this week! My Drama Queen tank top came in today but I ordered that thing a month ago. I've been keeping myself busy by playing Sims instead of "window shopping online." The only things I bought this week were sports bras cuz I started working out. Imagine me working out! Actually, don't. It's not a pretty picture! It's been really hard trying to eat healthy with everyone else buying junk food and McDonalds every freakin day. This week everyone in my house simultaneously decided to lose weight. Weird! I'm glad, we're so fat!! =) I stopped online shopping, I'm losing weight, what else is next?!?! LOL

Going on strike!I'm going on a shopping strike. I'm trying to support a cause. Mark and I are trying to move out of his parents house and to do that we need to save money and to save money I need to STOP shopping. We can move out today if we wanted to, but Mark just wants to play it safe and save some money just in case. I know that I can't just quit cold turkey (heheh) so I'm allowing myself to buy one thing a week. I told you I'm a shopaholic! I've been really bad lately though. This month already I bought a Louis Vuitton wallet  , His and Her watches from Guess  , a Coach walking coat, DVDs, and Stila makeup! So the next time you see me blog about buying more than what I am allowing myself each week, remind me that I should be supporting my cause! I already asked Cel to help and I'm helping her support her cause. Heheh. But together we're sort of "bad" support for one another. When we go out we have to constantly remind ourselves of our causes. Seriously... lol we repeat ourselves over and over again, "I need to support my cause". Cel did a better than I did the last time we went out. We are trying to support our causes and all... But why are we scheduling an appointment for a MAC event and talking about getting manicures and pedicures? LOL. We're crazy.

Yesterday the mall, today the outlets..Jay's birthday is on Saturday (which is also Valentine's Day!) and he couldn't take the weekend off so he took Wednesday and today off. It's like we had our Birthday/Valentine weekend early. I've been calling this our "fake weekend." Yesterday we cruised the mall and watched "The Butterfly Effect." That movie was WEE- EARED!!! I suggest everyone to watch it cuz I love it and I LOVE Ashton Kutcher in it! Today we went to the Vacaville outlets and unfortunately I didn't fall in love with any handbag at the Burberry outlet. I'm not crushed, a woman can wait for the perfect purse! >P Jay and I agreed that we should lay off the shopping for awhile. hehe
Jay bought me Nike Adversary's and a cool Ringer Tee. It's been almost 2 years since I've had new Nike's. All I've been wearing lately are black hoodies, dark pants and mocassin loafers. It's about time I bought something different. The shoes are $29 and the shirt is $9 all from the Nike outlet. The shoes are sOo comfortable and light weight!
I could not pass up these baby Jordans!! I can't get enough of them! JDN tried them on and they were the cutest thing! He wouldn't let me take them off either, he had the same enthusiasm as I had. I'll save them for special occasions of course. I hope they last as long as the Presto's I got him last year, he still wears them. I'd just throw them in the wash and set it aside to dry. I don't think I should do that with the Jordans though.
Claire's had a buy 2, get 1 free sale so I bought some earrings. My fave are the flip flops. I found the coin purse at Wet Seal, it was only $3.49!!! It was the very last one too, talk about right place, right time! It would look cute with the tote bag I bought. (like Cel's, but pink)

I got my Sanrio package today =) All the stuff is on the mini table. I even got some free gifts! A Hello Kitty Cheetah coin purse (like my Monkey one) and a pencil. My necklace came with a cute little "dust bag" I guess you can call it. It reminds me of Tiffany & Co.'s "dust bag".I went to Crossroads to sell some clothes and came home with these lovely babies:  A baby blue Parcel Audio Culture Walkman clutch and purple Ghetto Blaster (I'm gonna use that as a diaper bag). I finally found the purple one Drie! Now my itty bitty collection is complete =) I'm with you guys. I need to stop shopping at least 'till March!

I did waaay too much shopping last week. Someone needs to fix my computer so that I can't buy anything online anymore!  Saturday I went to Mervyn's where they had a 2 day sale! I found this Towne by London Fog coat for $39. It was originally $80, what a steal! There were so many things on sale, I was biting my lip resisting purchasing anything else! But I couldn't pass on the coat, it fits so nicely and it's been a long time since I've had a nice warm long coat.  My Friends Complete 6th Season came in the mail. I promised Jay that this time I would wait for him to watch all the episodes! And I bought toner, 2 for $9 at Avon. Last night I bought some products at Sephora. I have definitely jumped on the junkie train! Oh yea, I spent $50 at Old Navy for JDN and around $60 at Columbia House for Jay's DVDs. Okay, I need to quit shopping for atleast a month! >P

Earrings!Yesterday Lani and Jacob came up to visit and guess what we did? Shop of course! Couldn't you tell by Lani's pictures that those pictures were taken by me at my place (same ol' black chair with my comp desk and tv in the background lol). Freakin' Lani! She re-sparked my addiction to earrings =p I guess we're even because I got her into make-up =D  Dior Lipgloss and 3 pairs of funky earrings. Cel likes funky =)

Pictures, pictures, pictures!!I'm finally able to post pictures of my many shopping adventures this month! Here are my shoes that I have been searching for all over the place! Then I found the white shoes... I just fell in love with them!   I finally got my own Louis Vuitton bag!  It's dangerous working at Coach! 
I love the body shop! I love chandelier earrings!
More makeup! (Cel made me do it!)heheh
I bought this scarf/mittens/hat set for Malina... it was too cute to pass up!

Hello Kitty crazy!Ok. I'm going to make a promise to myself that I will not buy anymore Hello Kitty items until next month! Even though all of this is for Malina (ok, the little pouch is mine =x), I will not buy Hello Kitty or Sanrio until March.  L-R: A little purse for Malina, cosmetics pouch for me, mug (for free since I filled up one service card), My Melody tissues, notepad, and hairties. Hey, I only spent less than $20 =D I think I'm the worst one out of the bunch =p

 I went to Target today and bought a Sesmame Street DVD and Monster's Inc. for JDN, he wouldn't let them go! The Friends Trivia Game is part of Jay's birthday gift. I wanted to buy the video game, True Crime: Streets of LA, but they ran out. I bought some socks at Payless, they had a sale. I have a weird sock fetish, thing. I also bought piercing studs and Tweezerman tweezers at Sally's.
CEL's Latest Purchases
Sanrio + Online shopping =  Got this Hello Kitty Minitable for about $19. Perfect for when Malina plays "Coffee" (not tea) party and for playing with her play doh.  A Hello Kitty folding mirror. This was on sale for $6. Malina loves to look at herself in the mirror LOL so I thought I'd buy her one.  Kid' ear muffs. They're $14 I think. Malina needs 'em especially when she has her hair up on cold days.  $12 Hello Kitty circle necklace for yours truly ;D. They're funky and it's Hello Kitty. What more can I ask for?! Haha.

WOOHOO! I just joined the group! Yesterday I resisted buying a $13 Liz Claiborne purse because my husband's taking me to Burberry next week. Today I find a KYOOT tote bag and buy it with no hesitation. And then Cel tells me it also comes in black, uh oh! Shopping online is way too easy.
