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
      



    Scarlett Johansson and Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen's Tara Subkoff for Easy Spirit Frango Pumps in Light Natural from Easy Spirit. $RETAIL. My new swear-by shoes! Complete with Imitation of Christ designer Tara Subkoff's style with Easy Spirit's special cushion comfort. You could walk for hours on a daily basis with these 4" heels and feel totally comfortable (plus not a single blister/mark or wanting to sit!). For best look, tighten the bows like the IOC runway, instead of keeping them like MKA's. Code 06ELITE for free shipping. Also available at Shopbop. Tara Subkoff for Easy Spirit as seen on: Mary Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen, Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Richie, and Lindsay Lohan.


    Ashley Olsen's Earnest Sewn Wiltwyck Harlan 18 Skinny Jeans from Jake. $SALE. Sexy dark skinny Japanese denim with a 12" leg opening. Love the washer riveted and hand abrasion finished touch to give each jean it's uniqueness. Wiltwyck's signature sanded lines near the top caught my attention. Also available at Revolve Clothing. At Jake, code DCJAKE for 25% off (Exp: 4/28). At Revolve, code DCDEAL (Exp. 5/11) or TB3 (Exp. 4/19) for 30% off.


    Marc Jacobs for Blondie Tee in Call Me Gold from Marc Jacobs NYC. $RETAIL. Created in honor of Blondie making the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, MJ made this screen printed tee with "Blondie" imprinted on the bottom. This is a mens small but an SA at MJ NYC recommended the mens small over the women's sizes for that cooler urban look since women's fit more like a tight baby tee. Available only at select MJ stores (if you could find them!) and all proceeds go to the Riverkeeper charity.


    Sass & Bide Castle Magic Empire Sleeveless Top from Coco Pari. $STEAL. A little oversized for that loose Euro look. It's a racer back and looks great with a waist belt and black wife beater. The quality of the cotton material is thick and dreamy. A similiar S/S 2006 design was linked. Also available on eBay Australia. Sass and Bide as seen on: Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Hilary Duff, Jessica Simpson, and more.


    Mandalay Sequin Woodstock Bustier from Coco Pari. $STEAL. What are you staring at? Very vivid, I know, but when paired up with dark denim skinny jeans and a thick black waist belt, this bustier is %#*&ing HOT. The detail on Mandalay's pieces are spectacular with the different sequin and fabric designs. Originally had adjustable straps and I tucked them in for that tube look. Mandalay as seen on: Paris Hilton, Kate Hudson, Sharon Stone, and Goldie Hawn.


    Vince Cotton Jersey Gauze Tee in Coastal Blue from Saks Fifth Avenue. $SUPERSALE. Thin and basic but very nautical and hot for this season. The edges are raw and tend to roll a bit. For best look, pull up the sleeves to right below the elbows. Vince is widely known for his cashmere sweaters but his gauze tees are just as good for less the price. Code SHOPAPRIL for 10% off. Vince as seen on: Jessica Simpson and more.


    Sweetees Lexie Dress in Light Tan from Playhouse Clothing. $SUPERSALE. Surprisingly a lot better quality than anticipated, or at least compared to any of their previous lines. Love love love the textured beige sheer material with inner lining. The crocheted chest part is just way too cute. Originally had adjustable straps and cinched waist, but I tucked in the straps for yet another tube look. For best look, wear with a waist belt. Code JESSICASTYLE for 20% off. Also available at Pink Mascara. Sweetees as seen on: Mischa Barton, Jessica Simpson, Tori Spelling, and more.


    Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Black Patent Waist Belt from Vintage Designer Clothing. $STEAL. Definitely my latest, favorite swear-by accessory. It'll spice up any outfit with it's classic and patent look. This is the original version of this S/S 2006's remake version with the square-buckle wide waist belts (available in raffia, patent leather, and leather). This particular piece was part of a stylist's inventory and worn in several photoshoots. YSL wide waist belts as seen on: Jessica Alba and more.


    Bamboo Leaf Headscarf/Scarf from Brookdale Kiosk. $SALE. I love the lime green contrasting with the neutral bamboo colors. Headscarves are definitely something to invest in this season. Heck, headbands even. The funkier the pattern, the hotter it is. Maybe my next might be the Alexander McQueen or Thomas Wylde Skull Scarf. We'll see.
