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
      


    Tara Subkoff for Easy Spirit Edrie Wedge Pumps in Slick Red Patent from ShopBop. $RETAIL. One of Subkoff's most wanted designs and in the rare patent red that catch's peoples' eyes. These wedges are definitely one of my faves and are extremelyyy comfortable at 4". Patent runs true to high end size as opposed to the suede. Also available at Easy Spirit (Code 06ELITE for free shipping) and Active Endeavors (Code JESSICASTYLE for 20% off). As seen on the Imitation of Christ S/S 2006 Runway.


    J Brand 10" Skinny Ankle Jeans in Ink from Ron Herman. $RETAIL. Swear-by jeans, especially for shorties. These anti-label jeans are the hottest and most wanted J Brand style with the contrast stitching and ankle length. Super slim skinny fit around the legs, tapered down to 10", and stops at the ankle with a 29" inseam. Ink runs big. Also available at Blaec for pre-order. As seen on: Angelina Jolie, Gemma Ward, and Hilary Duff.


    J Brand 10" Black Skinny Ankle Jeans in Black from Revolve Clothing. $SALE. I loved the 910 Ink so much, I had to get black. No fashionista could go this season without a pair of black skinny jeans. J Brand perfected the skinny jean. Black runs true to size, unless you like the legging look then size down. Code INSTYLE06 for 20% off (Expires soon) or JT for 15% off. As seen on: Angelina Jolie, Gemma Ward, and Hilary Duff.


    Vintage Ann Taylor Polka Dot Shorts from Vintage Designer Clothing. $STEAL. These vintage polka dot shorts caught my eye the second Joan put them up on the site. Vivid contrasting large polka dots seem to be one of the faves this season too. Previously from a stylist's collection and used in a magazine photo shoot.


    Cherry Tee Ribbed Tanks in White, Maraschino Red, and Navy Blue from Cherry Tee. $SALE. Cherry Tee created a new cut for these tanks.. a little longer than their originals (approx 23" on the size 1). Big improvement? I'd say so. They also released 2 new colors this year, Maraschino Red and Navy Blue. Code KH10 for 10% off + free shipping for $50+ (AKA Buy 3 tanks, get free shipping). As seen on: Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie, Gabrielle Union, and more.


    Vintage Oscar de la Renta Suede Navy Waist Belt from Vintage Designer Clothing. $STEAL. Yes, another waist belt. 2" in width works best for me, nothing more, nothing less. I love the dark navy suede color. Since this was a little too large, I sewed snap buttons to the side so it could tighten at the high waist (instead of poking more holes). From a stylist's collection.


    Vintage Large Chain Necklace from Vintage Designer Clothing. $SUPERSALE. Falling into the chain trend that's all over sites and magazines. It looks big and heavy just looking at it but in actuality it's light and hollow. It's a cute accessory. Worn by a model in a commercial.


    Nubra Super Padded Aphrodite Bra from eBay/Just Pretty Bridals. $SUPERSALE. As if I didn't swear by Nubra Silicone, this took the cake. Perfect for petite and/or small breasted women, same boost as silicone, and as light as Featherlite. I love you, Nubra. They also made a version meant for large breasted women called Clio Aphrodite. Lowest price from eBay Seller jpbridals + earn $1.50 credit towards the next.


    Tweezerman Tweezers in White and Eyebrow Trimmer/Brush from Sephora. $RETAIL. Since I didn't have time to go to Depasquale to get my eyes done 2 Saturdays ago, I picked these up for a quick clean up. These professional quality Tweezermans are the sharpest, finest tweezers I've ever seen. Complete with a rubber coating for extra grip. Best part, Tweezerman sharpens them for free! Code PEPTIDE1 or JUMPSTART for free deluxe samples.


    Havaianas Kids Top Flip Flop in Pink Cheeks from Amazon/Babystyle. $RETAIL. Aren't these just soooo adorable? Little flip flops for little kids! They definitely earned Gemma's stamp of approval as these are the only shoes she wants to wear AND she wants more. Save $1 on shipping through Amazon or code SUMSHIP75 for free shipping w/$75+ at Babystyle. More kids styles available at Havaianas.
