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 thought I'd share the tastiness. NYC Sample sales: Marc Jacobs, Theory, Michael Kors, Cosabella, Mint, Joie, Seven For All Mankind, Vicars-n-Tarts, at Find Outlet Warehouse (both locations). Hermes at Bergdorf Goodman. Moschino, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alberta Ferretti, Narciso Rodriguez, Pollini, at Aeffe USA. I missed a great sample sale at the Tribeca Grand Hotel to go to a friend's Christening (Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent, Diane Von Furstenberg, OMG!!!!!!!!!) and not to mention also one at Bergdorf Goodman Bridal (Badgley Mischka, Carolina Herrera, Angel Sanchez, and Oscar de la Renta). But there's a lot more bridal sales going on now too. Gotta take advantage with the bridesmaids. -=D You'll never see me spill this if I'm actually able to go. *evil laugh* And in the fashion news... Tom Ford of Gucci calls it quits after 10 years and 20 collections. I always loved his lines with the runway type fashion (even though I could never afford it!). Paris Hilton, the one wardrobe everyone wants, is in Won G's music video SINGING. yes. singing! I know they were making fun of the whole deal on VH1 but I never knew she was serious. I'd rather see her clothes than her singing. (while others prefer more internet movies -=X ) I never knew courtney cox was pregnant already! The friend's season finale didn't even come up yet. and I was staring at Bazaar's may issue in the face for the past month and didn't even realize Monica had a belly in the front cover while wearing a $19G dolce & gabbana dress. hahaha. Would we all love a maternity dress like THAT? And i was thinking, how come there are more articles about Estee Lauder than there are of Steven Sprouse? I know it's like a 2 week difference but still. P.S. Where's Drie and Lani?!

Tube Top
I went to the little boutique in Roseville called Chelle's trends (?) LuLu and I picked up this jade Ella Moss tube top. I love the colors =) I wanted to buy more Ella Moss tops and some C & C California shirts but they don't have my size (I'm a medium). I tried a small pink striped halter top and it fits fine around my trunk area, but my boobs were practically falling out of it. I hate being "top heavy", especially when I buy graphic tees. The graphic gets all stretched out =p. I also tried on this lavendar shirt in large and I was swimming in it. Grr...I'm oddly shaped.

Nothin Much...Went to the drug store the other day just to pick up some toilet paper and other "girl stuff" *ifyouknowwhatimean* and I came home with some unecessary items. Well, I think that the sunblock for Gracie is necessary. Other than that, being the product junkie that I am saw some new items and decided to try them out heh. 
John Frieda's Brilliant Brunette Shine Creme, Banana Boat Baby Magic Sunblock, and Neutrogena Skin Smoothing Body LotionI was skimming through Sacramento Magazine the other day and saw an advertisement about a shop that sells C & C California, Nicole Miller, Ella Moss, Juicy Couture, etc. The shop is in Roseville (about 15-20 minutes from where I live). I'm going to stop by tomorrow and check it out =D

This isn't really a shopping post, but I'd just like to share this: Estee Lauder dies at age 97.

Girls are such vultures!!!! I can't help my Ella Moss obsession. Just bought 2 other Ella Moss tops from GoClothing and eBay. I knew ShopBop was coming out with more Ella Moss collection b/c I saw the pages ahead of time when they didn't even have descriptions. Only pictures. I fell asleep last night and woke up to an email saying the new summer line is in and 11 hours later, almost everything's sold out. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME. Ugh! *had to vent*

Before I begin, "Gina's" opinions DO NOT represent those of Retail Therapy. Don't be sorry Dex, I would've done the same thing. I don't know how many times that we have to state this, but Shopaholix and Retail Therapy are NOT rivals. As Dex said, there is no competition between us. Can everyone just chill already? With all that said, new layout, you like? Heather, e-mail me your wishlist (see mine, Drie's, and Lani's for examples).

Man I spent a whole lotta money this week. Got my eyes checked and bought new frames and sunglasses. I bought Spongebob stuff for JDN's party. OMG, we're gonna be so broke this month! JDN's party, my vacation, my car.. I shouldn't have went shopping last week but I couldn't help myself!! There's something about shopping that lifts the stress off my shoulders. And I get "alone time" with my son, I hardly get that with my mom and sister around. Okay, I gotta save, gotta save!
 
A couple Van Heusen dress shirts for Jay from Ross. I love this Future Millionaire shirt I bought for Jay and I bought a Brooklyn hoody for me from Old Navy. My mom said that I should buy a t-shirt that says, "Future Millionaire's Wife." LOL
 
Anne Klein slingbacks from Ross and new BabyGap pajamas for JDN.
 
A new pink faceplate from CutePCS.com and a red color for me which looks great!
I also bought $60 printer ink this week. Didn't know printer ink was so expensive!!
