whether a reaction to my sister's news or not.....


I just dropped $262.95 at 6pm.com. Okay, yes, I have been looking at the stuff for a while but I thought I'd get myself a celebratory/commiseratory gift as well. Gosh, I'm such a horrible bitch aren't I?????

So putting all my ISSUES aside, let's dive into the lovely stuff I decided to buy. First in the list is this pair of Miraclebody jeans. It's the Katie Straight in Mystic. I got to know about these ages ago when it was on Oprah's favourites list. But the price was right on 6pm.com. It was selling for $39.99, down from it's RRP $110.00.



The next thing in my cart was the Miraclesuit Shapewear Miraclesuit Hi-Waist Thigh Slimmer. I have *ahem* thigh issues *ahem*. I'm always looking for shapewear that will compress my *sigh* saddlebags *sigh*. This was $29.99 from it's RRP of $38.00.



I recently became MASSIVELY obsessed with quilted bags. Hmmm, well, I was previously obsessed with the Stam which is quilted and now I do own one. However, since I haven't paid my sis for it, it is staying in her handbag cupboards till I'm done with payment. Just got through paying off my bracelet - go figure with all the unintentional shopping I end up doing ;p Anywho, this bag has been haunting me, HAUNTING, I tell ya!



I was casually browsing 6pm.com and came across this BCBGMaxAzria Quilted Large Satchel and just fell for it. Forget RM's Covet and/or Jane. At $99.99, I'll take it! Originally this was a pretty reasonable $278.00. I did flip flop on this multiple times, wondering if I really wanted to give up my RM picks but in the end, today's news swayed me into instant gratification mode. I'm still tres happy I got it!

Got this next one when I was browsing HauteLook.com with a bit of disinterest and came across this gorgeous pair of pump-style wedges. OMG, do these not look like the most perfect pair of work shoes ever?!?!?! I mean, it's black, not too high, not too low and closed-toe. Bestest part is it's 100% leather!!!!!



For a very lowly $39.99. I couldn't pass it up! I needed a new pair, if you saw the sorry state of my long-serving (and long-suffering) Snowfly London pumps, you'd agree with me in a jiffy! Original price for this Jessica Simpson Kellie Wedges: $79.00

And after I decided I must, must, must have the Kellie wedge, I then decided I must, must, must have this Cynthia Rowley Soft Wrapped Piping Flap Clutch.



C'mon, I know 2 purses is a tad excessive but this is a Cynthia Rowley going for $59.99 from it's original price tag of 200 smackaroos! And I don't own any maroon/burnt red purses. Plus the whole old-timey feel, I love that - I'm a vintage chica at heart and this appealed to me massively. Granted, this is from seasons' past, eons even but I still have a hankering for it so that's that.

And thus ends this shopping escapade. But no worries, it continues. My bestie is headed to Orlando for some conference and is taking in shopping requests. I have a few items in mind :D

UPDATE (16/072012):
I made my order using my AMEX this time around and I got an email from 6pm.com asking me to correct my address :D That's just weird that my MC platinum went through no hitch but my AMEX Platinum caused this order to hit a snafu. Lol, I guess that's my "punishment" for trying to irritate my sis :) Anywho, I emailed them with the right address so we will see if it passes, hehehe.
