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.

    Happy Holidays, Errybody! I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year! Welcome Dee to RT!!!

    I've been so busy this past month, I took a seasonal job at the Napa Premium Outlets and I'm done by the end of January.. =( It's kool, I love Illuminations but I'd rather work somewhere else, the manager at DKNY said she'll hire me when the season's over so I think I'ma take that opportunity. Enough, of that, let's shop!



    Velocity Facial Cleanser, Moisturiser and Shimmeriffic Body Lotion from Mary Kay. $SALE I love the lotion, it smells so good and it's sparkly!

    You're a Star shimmer powder in a puff from Mary Kay, $SALE.

    Velocity Shimmeriffic Eye Color in blue, blue mascara and an End 2 End lip gloss and eau de parfum in one by Mary Kay, $SALE.

    White Water scented jar candle [i LOOOOOVE this scent] $SALE and a red laquer box $SUPERSALE from Illuminations. I thought we ran out of the White Water at work and then I found the last one, hiding in the back of the shelf. I had to buy it! And I had to buy the laquer box cuz the smell of it reminded me of my old piano. *awwww*

    Two jar shades, a sterling silver one and a frosted one both $SALE from Illuminations.

    and last but not least..
    !

    I finally get to do this!

    I got my nose pierced!! WOOHOO! It didn't hurt at all, I was so happy I finally did it. I've been wanting to get my nose pierced for like a year already and my friends and I went to Haight & Ashbury in SF and I was like, "I'm gonna do it today!" And I did it was the most fun in a long time! My bff was there with me to hold my hand and it was great! hehe I bought more stuff, I know I did, just got to find it all and post later! Happy New Year!!!

    no school = more posting! more sales! and of course more shopping! -=D


    LEFT: Jessica Simpson's Cool Change Rajasthan Ruffle Dress in Teal/Pistachio from Playhouse Clothing. $SALE. This dress is sooo pretty in person especially with pointy toe heels like my wedding Choos. I'm inlove with it! I might collect them all during the next drop over the Spring. >=)
    RIGHT: Lorac Licked Kissed Bitten Lip Polish Set, Stila Convertible Black Mascara,Nars Balanced Foundation in Fiji, and Stila Contour #1 Lip Pencil from Sephora. $RETAIL. Usually not a make up person, bought it for a photoshoot with my wedding photographer, and now I use them more often! Hehe.

    Sarah Jessica Parker, Paris Hilton, and Jessica Simpson's St. Tropez Essential's "I Love Kitson" Terry Cosmetic Bag from Kitson. $RETAIL. Kitson's the only boutique I know with their own personalized things with designers (St Tropez, Junkfood, 2 B Free, etc). Must be nice! That's Kitson in our RT image BTW. -=)


    Ashley Olsen's Minnetonka Front Lace Hardsole Boots from The Minnetonka Mocassin Shop. $SALE. Definitely the best boots to go with cuffed jeans! Lots of compliments. These are backordered more than the Thunderbirds. Minnetonka as seen on: Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Olsen, Hilary Duff, and Kate Hudson.

    Sandisk Cruzer Micro 512MB Flash Drive $SUPERSALE from Circuit City and Sandisk 256MB Memory Stick PRO $SUPERSALE from Best Buy. These were some steals from Black Friday but my eye was on those 160GB Western Digital hard drives for $20 that blew outta every store nationwide in less than 3 minutes. DAMNIT. Those memory sticks were wiped out too but an employee had some hidden stock on the side. Hehe.


    Polo Ralph Lauren Signature Sweater, L/S Signature Ruched Tee, 2 corduroy pants w/belt from Polo Outlet. $SALE. Gemma's preppyed out. Hehe.

    Jessica Simpson's Blue Cult Destroyed Jeans from a Designer Jeans Sample Sale in Soho NYC. $SALE. I never had a wash like this and it just struck me. Also picked up 4 pairs of Sevens for $50 each!


    Le Top Stripe Swing Top & Brushed Terry Pants and Le Top Boucle Swing Top & Plaid Flannel Pants from Go Clothing. $SALE. Le Top has the cutest outfits for toddlers and great quality too.


    Nissan Sentra GSE 2.0 (2001) from a Jorge's Auto Body. $SUPERSALE via hook up. Top of the line Sentra and ALL options included. Black leather seats! Sunroof! Sport Appearance Package (I <3 the front mount with fog lights and wing)! Convenience package w/CD Player! 2.0 = fast! Power everything! Etc etc etc. Did I mention black LEATHER seats?! It's so nice, Teej treats this car like his MR-S, amazingly. Our other Sentra, he literally tossed around. Black Volk rims and a polished front lip anyone? -=) We were gonna get a Scion TC but couldn't pass up 50% off KBB/book value. Maybe next year.

    Ahhhh.... It feels good to be back! Been MIA and here's some of the purchases and pics I've been done taking in the past 2 months. As I said before, if you ladies ever come to Jersey/NYC, let me know! I'd love to take you guys shopping.I bought A LOT more but I'll save it for later. *winks*


    David Galan Bronze Chain Handbag from Majolie. $SALE. My all-time #1 purse EVER. It's so different and versatile from any other bags out there! Majolie also offers special orders. Galan used to work for Gucci and then went off on his own very very exclusive label. David Galan as seen on: Nicole Richie and Ashlee Simpson.


    Jessica Simpson's Primp Green Horseshoe Hoodie from Rafael Hawaii. $RETAIL. I sooo had to match my Saint Grace cami. -=) Primp as seen on: Jessica Simpson, Mischa Barton, Paris.Hilton, and Hilary Duff.


    LEFT// Michael Kors Wool/Coyote Winter Coat from Macy's at "The Mall at Short Hills". $SUPERSALE. Steal of the season. Between 30% off and a $200 GC, it was practically 80% off!!!! -=D Suck part is, it was an extra 10% off the next day. I would have sooo returned it and re-bought it but definitely can't do that at Short Hills. -=*(
    RIGHT// Ashley Olsen's So Low White Zip Hoodie from ShopBop. $SALE. Figured I'd put their complimentary GC to use somehow. Hehe. Tip: So Low fits REALLY small.


    Jessica Simpson and Kate Hudson's True Religion Joey Destroyed Jeans from Playhouse Clothing. $SALE. So different and hot! These fit amazingly and my butt isn't baggy like Citizens and Sevens. Or is that only me?


    LEFT// La Mer Cleansing Gel from Gloss. $RETAIL. Okay as you can tell I took this pic a little late. LOL! Of course it was fuller than that.
    RIGHT// Saint Grace L/S Olive Blackberry Danny Top from Big Drop. $RETAIL. I just love the material on these tops! So flowy and sexy. Saint Grace as seen on: Jessica Simpson


    BCBG Gold Metallic Heels from Marshalls. $SALE. I was actually looking for cheap shoes to buy for Halloween b/c my husband didn't want to drive back to pick up my Jimmy Choos for the party. Found these and I ended up wearing them again to Mission last saturday. I also got a blonde wig and wore my blue Primp Ice Creams. Can you guess who I was for Halloween? -=P


    LEFT// Mint Turquoise/Gold Sequin Tank from Shop NYC. $RETAIL. The fit is amazing! Definitely one of my fave tops. I <3 my metallics.
    RIGHT// Jessica Simpson's Juicy Couture Twill Blazer from eBay. $SALE. I finally found the perfect blazer. I didn't even have Juicy on my mind and bumped into this. I lah it!


    LEFT// Raw 7 Cashmere Geisha Sweater from Big Drop. $RETAIL. This was definitely one of my biggest stupid splurges I've ever blown but I'm inlove with it. Next up? Paris's Disney Tinkerbell Cashmere manufactured by Raw 7, Vintage Disney label. Woot! Raw 7 as seen on: Paris Hilton.
    RIGHT// Ladies of the Canyon Orange Striped Halter Tank from Scoop. $RETAIL. This is a perfect layer to be under my new cashmere. LOTC as seen on: Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton.




    Lindsay Lohan's Minnetonka Thunderbird Boat Sole Moccasins in White from eBay. $SUPERSALE. I swore I'd never fall into this trend over the spring/summer but when I saw it in US Weekly again (plus more than 1/2 off on eBay by someone who doesn't know the deal), I couldn't resist. -=D They're backordered now! Minnetonka as seen on: Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Olsen, Hilary Duff, and Kate Hudson.
