Hello, many name is Kat and um…I’ve been a bit of a shopaholic lately.
I honestly don’t know what’s come over me. Yesterday after hitting up Costco for some drinks for the hubby, I decided to head over to the new outdoor mall, the Americana. In less than 2 hours, I managed to spend $100 or so on, um, stuff. I bought three lightweight tees (all on sale, not bad); a hook, a cookbook and a bowl from Anthropologie; and a small strainer, a pairing knife, two bamboo cooking utensials and a new timer from Sur la Table.
This doesn’t count the dish soap I bought from eBay (finally found my matching scent from William Sonoma). Or the um, books I recently bought off of Amazon. Yeah, yeah, I know, I don’t need the books, but one was for business and the other for book club.
And now I keep thinking about this necklace and pair of earrings that I also saw at Anthropologie. I think I must have them. Do I need them? Hell no. Do I want them? Oh yeah baby! So pretty. So feminine. So casual yet dressy. So perfect. So mine.
Guess where I’ll be going sometime in the next few days? At least I was able to walk away from the $50 flip flops (yes, FLIP FLOPS!!) at JCrew. Give me some credit please. Just please don’t tell my husband 😉
$50 for flip flops!?
Good thing you walked. 🙂

If it’s on sale, it’s excusable. If it’s from Anthropologie, it’s excusable. (I lurve Anthropologie but haven’t yet managed to buy anything from though I very much want to.)
Michelles last blog post..Two bits of yayness
Siz – I know, I just can’t see myself spending $50 for flipflops. Last year I was dying for a pair I saw at Nordsrtom and I think they were $80 and I just couldn’t do it. No matter how much my friend tempted me.
Jennifer – I used my recyclable shopping bag that I keep in my purse AND bought bamboo utensils. That’s got to count for SOMETHING!! And yes, I forgot about the purse since I bought it for my Ireland trip in November…doesn’t count yet 😉
Curly – I’m better at Costco than at Target. Though thankfully, I can no walk in and out of both of them without purchasing a thing. Go me! Used to be Target cost me $100 each visit. That stopped in grad school when I had some major debt and creditors knocking.
Michelle – I guess I should just be thankful that I don’t actualy FIT in Anthropologies clothes or they might be a bigger weakness. Their tees are sooo soft. I’m also lucky in that their stores usually require paid parking of one sort or another out here so I don’t go all that often.
