Sale Splurges

I realized I haven't shown off my Nordstrom Anniversary finds.  I think I got some cute stuff (I've already returned one dress, but I think everything else is a keeper).  Three things had to be ordered in my size, so I don't have it all yet.  Not that it matters.  It's mostly all fall/winter stuff and it's like a furnace outside.  Which probably calls into question my sanity that I was trying on sweaters last Friday...the hottest day of the year so far.  Seriously though, Nordstrom should have cranked the air down to about 50 degrees because I darn near dehydrated while trying on all that stuff!

Here's what I got...

I got these "riding pants"... jodhpurs....
I ordered them in black and brown.  Both are suppose to come with black leather patches.  The brown online show to have brown patches though. 
I'm abnormally worried about this.  I want them to have black patches on the brown, just like they do in-store.  If they come in with brown patches, heads will roll!  Well, probably not, but I'll be really sad I didn't just buy the gray ones with black patches instead.  Fingers-crossed!

I got a couple of sweaters...

This one is called a "poncho", but I'm resisting that terminology...
This "sweater" above was CRAZY.  I had to buy a Small/Medium!  Yes, I know I said last week, that not even in an alternate universe, would I wear a S/M.  Now I'm hoping my Barefoot Dreams wrap isn't so mis-sized!  Ugh!  I hate ordering stuff I haven't tried on.

I got this shirt (which for the record does not hang quite so loosely on me as it does the super skinny model)
and this cami to go under it

And I couldn't resist getting another one of these Bobeau sweaters...
The fabric is a bit different from last year's and I didn't get the color above (though I did want it too).  I got this aubergine color that they didn't have online for some reason...

I'm SO ready for Fall!!!

It's SATC Saturday Again

First, I will start you off with a little movie... Sex and the City- All the Best Moments from the Movie. WARNING : If you haven't seen the movie, don't watch this.  Oh, and also please rectify this ASAP.  Ann-  they have the movie at your local TJ Maxx for $5.99.  I meant to buy it for you when I was there and bring it to you at Robin's party, but I got distracted by lamps and forgot (sorry!).  This week has been pretty lame-o on the updates front. All I have found is that there are reports of some drama on the set between Kim Cattrall and SJP.  Of course there have been reports in the past that these two gals didn't get along (personally I think it is just because KC is a little too big for her britches and doesn't seem to always remember that SJP is an executive producer and Carrie is, well the star ).  There are also reports that SJP is possibly a little overwhelmed with having the two new twin girls and little James Wilkie to take care of...
