Well I cashed in on the Funkylala.com sale. For $125 I got 2 dresses that are adorable! I hope they fit - no returns. Oh well...but it's good that the code works for sale items. They had a few Rebecca Minkoff bags on sale too but I can't spend more than $125...and even that is a bit for me in this time of financial woe.
I got the Beau Soleil wrap dress in Black in Petite (I can get away with that since it's flowy) and the other dress was sold out in the white but I took a risk (without seeing the actual color) and went for the Red in Small. CROSS FINGERS because there's a no return policy!!
UPDATE: SUPER BUMMER they just sent me an email saying the black dress was SOLD OUT!!! ACK screw them

^^ woah cute new stuff!! Is that f21 bag leather??
ps. your cat is so adorable. My cat also always has to make an appearance in my pics
The bottom is, the rest is a fabric. I'm thinking it will make a great beach/sports bag because it's cute and inexpensive!
And as for Lucy, as soon as I started unpacking my stuff she wanted to help. I have eternal cat butt on all of my clothing since she keeps them warm if I set them down anywhere on the bed or floor.

Oh, it was a fun test. It's to see if a cyst in my breast is malignant.
F21 has some awesome stuff. I would have spent more time there but I ran out of time. They have a ton of shirts and dresses though. And a ton of shoes, bags and jewelry.

wow Maevey! I hope everything is alright. Breast cancer runs real strong in my family but so far everyone has been keeping up on check-ups and if anything appears, it gets taken out immediately in surgery. Gosh, here's something way personal, my Uncle has a tumor in his chest/breast area. He just found out last week it's benign thank god...because male breast cancer I hear is REAL bad.
Bless you sweetie!!!

It's rampid in my family as well. You need to make sure you get a mammogram every year once you reach 35.
Ironically I went in for an ultrasound on another cyst I have about 2 inches over. This one was sore though and the theory is "Cancer is painless, which is why it grows and kills so easily".
So they were running a scan on the one and just happened to find this other one. One needle in the boob later (and let's discuss how pleasant that was), I am now waiting for results.
My husband didn't know about the severity of the testing until I came home afterwards, at which point he handed me a wad of cash and said, "Call Heather (my bf) and do some retail therapy".

awww wow... well I hope all is well. It's good that you keep up on checkups. That's very very important. Early detection is the #1 way to prevent it and get rid of it. My mom was offered a genetic test to see if it's in our genes and so she asked the doctor if she tested positive for the breast cancer to be in her genes - what would her next step be. he said "full masectomy". my mom thought that was crazy - so she didn't take the test but continually is very strict on her check-ups.

Today I went to American Apparel and bought a new tank top. A whopping $17 purchase, haha. I'm trying to buy a new bag from thepursestore.com but they haven't gotten back to me yet!
Maevy I love how you have your $300+ Manolos and your Forever21 purse together! I love mixing expensive and inexpensive things together!
ANd hope everything turns out alright from the test results!
I'm weird that way. Whatever works. I remember in high school I ran with a group of girls (survival of the fittest and all that) that were totally designer. Although one bought "Goach" like stuff to fit in. They would all go ballistic that I mixed Ferragamos and Express or DKNY and Target. I still get a kick out of the superficialism of it all. Oh, and forget my vintage pieces. You would have thought that I hadn't washed it ever and it came directly off another person or something. Loved vintage.
Ironically I always got compliments, which led me into costuming and personal shopping.
Now who's laughing, eh?
And that being said, I LOVE my Manolos. My husband asked me to count how many pairs I had last night. I told him I prefered not to. LOL
