"Field Day..."

Basically, in a nutshell, I shopped feverishly all weekend. Between the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and 4th St in Berkeley, I single-handedly stimulated the economy like no bank-bailout could ever do!

Some finds from the weekend:


Plaid has been my new thing. My boss calls me a "cowgirl" in my plaid tops. But, I like it...hey if Lauren Conrad can pull it off, why can't I (other than the fact that she's 22 and a size 00...and I am not...) So, here's my new purchase from the Nordy sale. This along with these boots, and about 10 pairs of Spanx/tights and I'm golden for the Fall...

I think these boots can also go deliciously with my new dress from Anthropologie...
Not to be outdone, my house needed some sprucing as well. Up went the window coverings (finally! No more exhibitionist!) and after dropping some serious cash at CB2, ZGallerie, and the Crate & Barrel Outlet Store, all the "little extras" one needs to make a house a home (picture frames, candles, kitchen gadgets, etc...) are nestled nicely around my digs.

Whew. And now, I look forward to my pb&j sandwich for lunch and cup ramen noodles for dinner. Ha!

...sofa to be delivered this next weekend and then I'll finally take some "after" shots of the house and post...
