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.

Heather's Latest Purchases
 Sienna Miller, Jessica Simpson, and Courtney Cox-Arquette's Roberto Cavalli 164S Minotauro Sunnies in Black from Nirvana. $SALE. One of the hottest sunnies ever created. These oversized rounded frames are detailed with Cavalli's signature circles at the temples and a logo discreetly etched on the left lens. Call it the perfect oversize-but-not-too-oversized shape. Another new sunnies line worth checking out is Tom Ford (Designer for Gucci). The Hutton is my fave.
 Jessica Simpson Barb White Patent Platform Pumps from Nordstrom. $RETAIL. Ah! Spring is in the air! White patent is seriously my latest fetish (Hello? Louboutin Clichy? Frenchsole Flats? You will be mine!). Once I saw these beauties in WHITE, I couldn't resist them after falling into the hype. Since I'm pro-Christian Louboutin, I opted out of the black (Bruges look-a-like), though it IS the most wanted color. Whereas, the white gives Jessica's line its own uniqueness and own name. They're true to actual size and just need a little breaking in around the house before actual wear. Speaking of CL Bruges, all black leather is available at select Neiman Marcus locations right now.
 Jessica Simpson's Saint Grace Audry Knotted Dress from Shop Flavor. $SUPERSALE. This is the perfect little black mini dress to go with these Woldorf Skyscraper Tights. The neckline was cinched to create a rounded V but I removed it to change the neckline into a scoop neck. Had to add that creative touch. My husband says it's too short but I beg to differ.
 La Rok Vintage Champ Tube Top from Nirvana. $SUPERSALE. This was originally a halter top (as seen on the Revolve Clothing link), but then I tried it on as a tube top and it was a keeper! My SA kept raving about it. High quality beading with a funky twist. Something I'll definitely rock to death this S/S. La Rok as seen on: Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Mischa Barton, Christina Milian, Victoria Beckham, and more.
 Da-Nang Vintage Dragon Hoodie in Black from Nirvana. $SUPERSALE. I love the way Da Nang pulled together the vintage handmade thick embroidery on this piece. Can be dressed casual or used for lounge. This extra small fits like a large. Da Nang s seen on: Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Nicky Hilton, and more.
 Grail Hourglass Desert Scene Thumbhole Thermal in Rose Pink from Nirvana. $SUPERSALE. Thermals are a definite must have for those cold rainy Spring days. The desert scene, splatters, and thumbholes serve up to Grail's edgy line. Now Grail released it's new line "Unholy Grail", where there's no splatter but just the tattoo designs. It's pretty hot. Grail as seen on: Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson, Nicky Hilton, and more.
 Jessica Simpson's Emerge Release Sweatpants in Black from Nirvana. $SUPERSALE. Needed something laidback to lounge around in, run errands, and "release" (</= Har Har Har). 3 of the letters have cute buttons on them. With sweats like these, it's best to fold down the waist band and bunch it up to right below the knee.
 Jessica Simpson's Hanky Panky Stretch Lace Lowrise Thongs in White and Taupe from Shop Flavor. $SUPERSALE. Can't get enough of these! They're perfect for those low rise jeans and give off that "feels like nothing" effect.
 Eternal Orchid from Chiasso. $GIFT. My valentine gave me this gorgeous handmade orchid arrangement. The vase intrigued me the most with it's espresso stained ceramic and rounded edges. I love Chiasso's definition, "The exquisite orchid has symbolized love, luxury and beauty for centuries." This was our main wedding flower. Time to bring out the S/S accessory decor!
 Sterilite Kids Wide Drawer Cart and Sterilite 66 Quart ClearView Storage Box from CVS. $RETAIL. Our entire place, including closets and cabinets, contain all Sterilite organizers. Gemma's toys and books were extremely packed to the point where she needed bigger storage and this is only 1/4 of her toys! (Goodbye toy chest and crate!). Also available at Amazon here and here.

Special Feature: The Closet Organizing Edition. Clothes need to be treated and organized properly to keep any shopaholic's sanity. My biggest inspiration for a wooden closet system was Veronica Etro. A few years ago, her closet was featured in some fashion magazine and was filled with matching maple wood hangers and shelves with transparent glass doors. Now I present to you, my personal own closet system. Accessories are hung on 2 hangers and all pants are doubled up on each hanger. Click here and here for brighter flash pics of the full shots. Hangers, eBay/Glossy Finished Maple Wood. Shoe Shelf, Target Maple Wood CD/Media Shelf. Drawers, Sterilite 29 Qt ClearView Storage Drawer. Hamper, Vintage. Hamper Slipcover, Victoria's Secret Drawstring Laundry Bag.
