Look what arrived!

First off Anthro is colorblind I have decided, they listed these boots as black and they are not black!  I would say they are a greyish/greenish/silver I am really happy with the color although it is not what I thought it would be.  I *think* I will keep them although I am really wondering if I should return them and get these instead?

Remember when I told you life was CRAZY... yesterday my youngest daughter the one year old fell off of a chair and bit all the way through her lip!!!  Two visits to the doctor, one sedation and two stitches later she is good as new!   I decided to reward myself by making my 4th a batch of this caramel it is soooooo good, easy and HIGHLY addictive!!  But since it's my aunts (my cousin is one of the girls who writes the blog) I figure it's all in the name of family support!
I really love those little ruffles on the back and really am falling in love with these boots, but wonder if they are worth the $$?  What do you think?

I just have to try it to know!

I know my sister is going to lecture me about this, but I had to order this dress to 'know' if I really wanted it. I mean with Anthro doing free shipping again, the thought is bound to cross any girls mind "who doesn’t want a dress with lobsters all over it?" I just hope it's cute and flattering on. If not back to the store for someone else to grab on sale and wear (that's the other problem, where in the heck am I going to wear that thing?) Oh well, that's why they call it impulse buying! I’ll let you know when it arrives!

My love/hate relationship with Ebay!

Ebay and I are fighting friends, sometimes (s)he surprises me with things I didn’t know I needed. Sometimes (s)he lets me get really good deals on things I really wanted. Sometimes there are things I knew I could live without and be fine pop up, and all of a sudden I HAVE TO OWN THEM!!!! Sometimes I get outbid on those things I have to own and I hate Ebay again! It's a vicious cycle and right now we are in a huge fight! Last night I lost out on this (pictured below)... and I really wanted it!!! I don't care how bad I wanted it I was not paying 100 bones. So I will keep watching/stalking Ebay, either that or lose 20 pounds so I can fit into the size 2 currently for sale!

Wishlist

Tuesday's usually are lethal for my wallet!  Today Anthro only marked down home items (which I may need someday when I own a home) but for now I am fine!  So I looked through the 'new arrivals' and am lusting after a few...

Tuesday = Trouble!

If you are a die-hard Anthro-fan (and I am) you know what today is... Fresh cuts (aka sale)!  I woke up early and ordered a few things... not too sure I will keep most of them, but I HAD to have a few!

Kick them or keep them?

My shoes finally arrived, I am still deciding if I am dissapointed or not.  They fit perfectly and feel AMAZING on my feet.  I am just not convinved I want to keep them.  What do you think, kick them or keep them?  If you are interested in them you can find them here.

Gold at the end of the rainbow

 I saw these shoes I LOVED!!!  After shopping around I think I have found a few similar MUCH cheaper alternatives.  Why does a girl 'need' gold shoes you may ask... because she has every other color in the rainbow, and what is at the end of the rainbow?  GOLD!

Guess what's coming???

Mother's day!!  I seriously LOVE this holiday, any excuse to get presents reads #1 in my book!  In an effort to create marital harmony I am posing a list of potential presents.  This to help aid and avoid the mess we had our first Christmas (when James got me deodorant, soap and pretty much all the things he could find around the bathroom I used!)  So here is my wish list...

A gift card to Anthropologie might be easier and would work!
