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
 J Mendicino Talking Bird Cutout Small Gumdrop Vase and J Mendicino Cobblestone Medium Gumdrop Vase from J Mendicino. $RETAIL. These Mendicino vases are so amazingly beautiful and probably my favorite pieces by far. Original design, clean lines and modernized look. I must have looked at hundreds of vases for the hallway and these caught my eye the most! On top, the designer herself, Joanna, is extremely sweet and helpful. Here's a closer view of the vases. Thanks to Design*Sponge. Lewis Hyman Black Cube Shelf Set from Lowe's. $RETAIL. These cube shelves are a great accent to any room or hallway, and at such a great price. Since the shelves are black and the Umbra Ether frame above it is espresso, I'm painting it with Olympic Premium Black Magic to match (Who knew there were so many shades of black? It's double of what I expected).

 Modern Basics Reed Pillows x 2 in Natural/Brown from Design Public. $SALE. One of the best pillows I've seen, yet affordable and classic. It's 20"x20" and made with a thick durable canvas material with suede asymmetrical lines. Stock pictures and even my pictures don't do these pillows justice. It was betweenthese, Inhabit Grass pillows, and Thomas Paul Couture Peacock pillows and I'm completely happy with my final decision. Code INSTYLE06 for 5% off (write in the comment box and code box). As seen in NBC Joey, Lucky, Home, and more.
 Jonathan Adler Stripe Trio Vases x 2 from Wrapables. $SALE. Trios are one of Adler's customer favorites. This striped design comes in blue, brown, black/white, and beige, so I chose blue to accent the couch. One set on each set of block shelves. Jonathan Adler as seen in: Style, Modernism, Sex and the City, The Today Show, and Will and Grace. Code DAILYCANDY for 30% off (Expires soon).
 Umbra Flipside Wall Frame from Wrapables. $SALE. Umbra always intrigued me with their unique modernized frames. A double sided frame so you could have pictures on the front and back. This one is a bitch to install (with the precise aligning) but the outcome is def worth it. It goes with our Madison Buffet perfectly. Code DAILYCANDY for 30% off.

 Dwell Awning Stripe Queen Duvet Set from Bluefly. $GIFT@SUPERSALE. Thick awning stripes add such a beautiful bold yet simple touch to any modern home decor. Dwell is one of the best design houses for bedding. Dwell's new collections will be 320 count instead of 210 count. Code WELCOME109 or SHOP86 for 15% off or VISA2006 for $15 off $100+ (All codes expire 6/30/06). FYI, buyer beware with Bluefly (handbags and clothes) as they've been selling fake Balenciagas, Chloes, and Prada bags. Also available at Wrapables (Code DAILYCANDY for 30% off.). As seen in In Style, Flor, Domino, and Lucky.
 French Boutique Wall Clocks x 3 from Wrapables. $SALE. With the typical Parisian textured design and "La Boutique De Fleurs. 1S Rue De La Paix Paris" on the front, it adds that understated touch. One alone, it looks cheap, but 3 together.. that's what I call perfection. This seems to be a nice conversation piece (FAQ: Which one is the right time? The left. Do they work? Yes... LOL!). Code DAILYCANDY for 30% off.
 Kensington SlimType Keyboard for PCs from Amazon. $SALE. Kensington created the BEST keyboard ever for both PCs and MACs. This low-profile keyboard contains laptop style scissor-switch keys that is so easy to use and less stressful for the hands. I just have to get used to the delete key being in a different place. In my opinion, it's better than any of the desktop style keyboards I've had or seen and for a really great deal from Amazon. Thanks to TechFresh and Uncrate.
