I'm sorry, but I just don't spend that much on shoes. Ok, well, maybe I spend that much on shoes in a couple of months' time, but please remember that I am the girl who finds Nine West shoes for $19 at DSW. Or I hold out and buy shoes on sale at the Nine West outlet in Freeport (there's one in Park City too and I am so proud that I didn't even go inside).
It looks like I'll be holding out until these show up at DSW or I make it to an outlet to check out the deals. I love being a bargain shoe shopper. Why? Because then there is absolutely no guilt when I look at my collection and see the same shoe in four different colors. I know in my shoe-loving heart that the amount I spent on three of those four pairs is equivalent to the retail cost of one.
I'm smart like that.
On the Nine West site, the Barbe is listed at $79.oo, but it says to take 25% off which means they are selling limited styles of the Barbe (mostly faux crocodile) for $59.25 with complimentary shipping right now. Woo! Much like DSW, you can also earn points for purchases and use those towards discounts in the future.
It's the storage bench and linen cupboard that IKEA revealed this year. Of course, I'd prefer the linen cupboard if it came in... red. Not that red is my favorite color or anything. I just have a lot of red stuff. I'm wearing a red shirt right now. I wore a red shirt last night. I have a red dresser, fan, night-table, shoes, dresses, fan, couch, rug... Let's stop there.
Anyway, I have another item from the new year of IKEA to share with you:
I need to have children for the sole purpose of having a twin-sized bed with this comforter set. It is so stinking cute. Kimba, if you continue with an animal/Noah's Arc theme for your little boy, this comforter is the one you must buy when he's 2 and sleeps in a big-boy bed. It's adorable. I love it. However, I find it somewhat unfortunate though that the background is white. That's just asking for trouble.
Sophia and I went to IKEA today and I picked up three Lack side tables for the price of one. That's right folks. They were on sale for half off, but the limit was two per customer. So I bought two, then gave Sophia my coupon for 3% off and she bought my third table for $3.97. I am especially pleased with myself. I also got storage for cereal, curtain rods (hallelujah!!), bathroom towel racks, a toilet paper holder and little puppy dog bottoms with tails that serve as hooks.
I intend to go back in a few paychecks and finally purchase my 5X5 Expedit shelving unit. I need to get rid of all the little shelves in the living room and consolidate the media storage. It looks so big in the store, but I know that it will fit so well in the living room and make me feel less crazy when I go in there. It's actually coming along since I worked on it Saturday. I can now navigate around the couch, and sit in both the chairs!!
Overall, I'm just glad Sophia and I survived. It was the busiest day to be at IKEA. Since it rained all weekend everyone decided to go shopping for Labor Day. Sophia and I were super skilled though and managed to maneuver TWO shopping carts (one with my tables and one with my odds-and-ends) through masses of clueless, ignorant families with screaming children.
Another satisfactory IKEA trip. As if it would ever be otherwise! I'll be sure to share the bathroom updates shortly. Hopefully this week Kev can help me install the towel racks (and by help I mean just do it for me) and get those doggy bottoms on the back of the door for the robes. One little piece at a time.
