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.

The best thing about debit cards is that it's like cash but plastic. I hate credit. I despise credit. I refuse credit. *Twiddles thumbs* Anyway I'm thinking the same thing the rest of the readers are thinking. Where is everyone? Well I know the girls are busy and have their things to do. Did they retire? No. Are they on vaca? No. Will they be back? Yes. So maybe I'll just go on strike till someone else posts. -=P 
Saeyoung Vu Couture Tiffany Blue (6 yards), Ivory (2 yards), & Mint (1.5 yards) Silk Dupioni Fabric from Saeyoung Vu. $RETAIL. The mint dupioni was actually complimentary from them so it was free. -=D
Elegant by NuArt Invitations (150) with matching Response Cards from The Busy Bride. $SALE. Soooo happy since I got to use my own tiffany blue ribbon, CIT font, and gold color.
 
Gucci Runway Seta Silk Dress from Nothing over $60 Sample Sale. $SUPERSALE. I'm definitely not one to say prices, but I can't hold this one back. Retail value: $1195. Got it for $60. Practically 95% off!
Chloe Coke Boarder Shorts from Nothing over $60 Sample Sale. $SUPERSALE. Not really feeling short shorts but long ones, I cannot resist. Hehe.

After waiting monthssssss, they finally get here. -=D I cannot stress how much we saved from ordering it from the Pinas. Practically 75% off! So I could pretty much say, $SUPERSALE. 
Onesimus Barong for Teejay, the groom. It's in ivory with extra detailed embroidery all around. After looking at these pics, I realized they used a different colored threading for Teej's. His was custom designed from pictures and made.
5 Onesimus Barongs for the bestman (ivory) and the 4 groomsmen (beige). All 5 are the same design.
Onesimus Barong for one of our secondary sponsors, aka my beh's brother.
Without pictures: Taito Puzzle Bobble (Bust-a-Move) v2 2.0 and BankBook by Bahsoft (again!) for Palm OS from Palmgear. $SALE. I love the new hi-res features! It's like looking at a TV screen. (I'm very high-tech deprived!)

The "Nothing over $60" sample sale by Chloe Jo/GirlieGirl was pretty sweet. It must have been the smallest sample sale room I've ever been in but worth it. No AC and boxes upon boxes that you had to rummage through. There was Sevens, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Yves Saint Laurent, Diane Von Furstenberg, Juicy Couture, Chloe, Missoni, etc. My top 3 best finds were a Gucci black runway dress, vintage YSL skirt, and a vintage DVF dress. Luckily (for me), they weren't on DailyCandy. Hahaha! I'll post the 2 I'm keeping later, the rest is for inventory. 
Jordan Retro III Mocha Cement. $SUPERSALE. I had a couple of these a while ago, regretted getting rid of them, and now they came back to me along with 6 other pairs. -=D I needed more white Jordans.
PalmOne Zire 71 ($SALE) and WriteRight Screen Protectors ($RETAIL) from Best Buy. Actually I picked this out and the mister paid for it for my birthday (which is this Friday). Hehe. It's actually discontinued now b/c there's the 72 but they had 1 sealed 71 left in stock. Had a beat Visor Pro from 2001. They don't even make Visor anymore.

Sales are such a tease. It sucks when there's sooo many and you can't go to any of them. -=*( I wish there was more time. I'd go to every single one if I were actually allowed to drive. *raises fist* 
Offray Double-Faced Satin Ribbons in #314 Aqua and 4" White Pew Bow Ribbons from Creative Favors through Offray. $SALE. I could have bought myself another pair of Sevens at retail instead of this if I wasn't so picky about the color Tiffany Blue and material. LOL! I even requested to have the darkest dye lot so it'll perfectly match the Tiffany Blue Box. Anything for the wedding!
X-Girl Logo Guitar Tee from X-Girl NYC. $RETAIL. I really like the logo to the left of the guitar. Sadly trying to duplicate the promo X-Girl tee I have. Hahaha I love these large graphic styles! I just don't like the regular X-Girl tees. As Gemma would say, "Ewwwwwe!"
Baby Phat Phat Fav Tissue V-Neck Shirt from Olympic. $SALE. I dunno wussup with me and white shirts this week.

I went back and got this grey Juicy Couture track jacket. You could tell that I already wore it from the creases on the sleeves heh. You won't imagine how cheap I got this for. It was practically a steal! ($SUPERSALE from Nordstrom).
 
I also bought the Queen of the Universe tee for really cheap too! ($SUPERSALE from Nordstrom)
Care Bear Underwear and a pink Baby Toons shirt that says Lil' Diva. Hehe, perfect for my lil Gracie. ($RETAIL from Target)

I was thinking, if you think our (as in us RT girls) shopping adventures are off the line, you really have to see me and my fiancee shop for sneaker inventory. Dropped another G today. I swear he goes delirious or something whenever we go and he's in the backroom of a moms and pops shop. It's like a special high for him. He even admitted it! Then he jokes around and says he should start a Sneaker Therapy site for the guys. LOL! He was serious to. But then I said, well you do have extralaces and Niketalk to go to. And he's like, it's not the same. Damn right! -=D I love you girls! 
To Have and To Hold Unity Candle, Brea Secondary Veil,Elegance Cord, Gold Coin Basket, and Elegance Matches from the Wedding Library, Philippines. $SALE. They look sooo much better in person. Check out my wedding section on my site later this week. I had my aunties get these for me from there. Hehe!
Kids Barong Tagalog from Onesimus, Philippines. $SALE. The one to the right was custom made for the ring bearer. I wanted the coin bearer to match but oh well. Definitely much cheaper there than online or here! Can't complain.
Barong Ties tailor made by a seamstress from the Pinas. $SALE. She did a really great job for half the price!
Ella Moss Jack and Meg White Skirt from Ubiq. $RETAIL. Teej made me return the white Juicy skirt I bought a blog or 2 ago. Said to me, "What are you trying to look like? One of those 16 year olds that walk around the mall?" Gee... thanks beh. So this is my match everything skirt now.
VS Body by Victoria Convertible Strapless Bra from Victoria's Secret. $RETAIL. I LOVE BBV! It's definitely the most comfy panties and bras out there.
And the ones without pics. Norton Anti-doesn'tworkforshit-Virus 2004 from Bestbuy. $SALE. Dime Plan web-hosting from PinchPenny. $RETAIL. And another year subscription renewal for Harper's Bazaar magazine. $SALE.

A Whole New Outfit
Seven for All Mankind Havana Wash jeans ($RETAIL from Nordstrom) and Itsus Broken Morals shirt ($SALE from Ikon). Check out my new What I Wore Today picture.
Steve Madden Rumor shoes in White leather A.K.A White mules (is that what they're called?). I was gonna get the Kaffy shoes, but I could just borrow them from Lani hehe. ($SALE from Steve Madden)I might go back to Nordstrom to pick up the Juicy Couture track jacket from a few seasons ago and the Queen of the Universe tee. They were both on SUPERsale (lol Lani), but I wasn't sure if I wanted to get it. Now I regret it and I wanna go back!!
