although i miss her ...

Things I would go out and buy this second (or maybe, you know, when the mall opens) if Vickie were here, so it's kind of a good thing she isn't:

- A Tokidoki bag. Not a little purse, a big honkin' BAG. They're so freaking cute I don't care that they're five minutes away from passe.

- A good pair of jeans. I have a perverse desire to see what this 7 For All Mankind hoo-ha is all about, but even in my shopping fantasies I am a little more realistic than $200/pr denim. Peahen was strutting in Lucky Brand this past weekend; she says it's the only denim she wears these days. So, fantasy bag item 2: dark-wash Luckys. (Luckies?)

- Maia highlights. I want to do Something To My Hair and if I'm going to fork over a kidney to pay for it, it's not gonna be another $70 bang trim.

- A necklace to replace the one I love but have decided to stop wearing. I'd pick a slightly different one, of course, but what I really love is the toggle-style closure and the choker fit, and similar designs seem to be abundant at the store I hate but whose designs I love.

That was fun. Anyway, quick reality check: Peahen gave me a beautiful lariat-style heart necklace from Tiffany as a maid of honor gift. We also got awesome manicures and I've managed to keep mine intact so far. I wish I could be as extravagant with my own girls. But I have six to Peahen's one, so.

Shoe news: nothing cute on the horizon but I am going to buy a $40 pair of New Balance runners today if I can make it to Sam's Club in time (and if they still have my size.) I actually wore down a pair of running shoes. This calls for a soda!

Just kidding.

Was tooling around What Claudia Wore and she mentioned Jenny Humphrey and I knew who she was talking about, ONOZ.

Dang that Mart!!

I swear I will never, ever pick up a GG book. I draw the line there.

That evil guy on GG is still nowhere near the cockroachiosity of Spencer Pratt, though. Just had to say that.

fiddle-dee-dee

Who knew the mall didn't open till 10 a.m.? Sure on most shopping days past I've been in bed till 10 a.m., so how I was ever to learn this is a mystery, but today, I woke up early (as I have every day of Fall Break), Post Office'd it, and then moseyed on to the mall. Which, excepting Old Navy, was closed.

While killing time in ON, I picked out a bunch of $5 tanks, two pairs of jeans, three baby outfits, and a dog costume (bat, because they only make honeybee in XXS, think Elle Woods' chihuahua Bruiser in "Legally Blonde") before I realized I was being ridiculous and bought only one t-shirt, a cheap Halloween special (although not as cheap as the pallets and pallets of bright orange "3 for $6!" tees in the front of the store). Oh, and the baby outfits? They'd go on the shelf next to the tennis racket and biography of Abigail Adams I own, the "we may need these things later" shelf.
