exciting things
- Figleaves has free shipping and a sale! Yay!
- I went to see the Grinch musical yesterday in NYC.
- I finally went to a Lush retail store . . . it was delicious. I bought some things for my mother for Christmas and also some things for me. My parents are very shoddy at buying Christmas and birthday gifts, anyway, and say that I'm free to buy my own presents, so I'll consider this their gift to me.
- I also had the phenomenal good luck to stumble upon a Loehmann's. I'd heard about it, of course, but never had the chance to go to one. This was about three blocks from Lush - I had to walk about two miles from where the bus dropped us off to get to Lush in the first place - and I thought I'd just duck inside before trotting off to Fifth Avenue and spending some of the money I'd saved just for this trip, but I never ended up going to either Fifth or Madison. Because Loehmann's, it is amazing. I fond a gorgeous pair of Christian Lacroix beaded and embroidered black satin evening pumps for $190. Seriously! Which is not cheap in objective terms, but it was marked down from $700, and anyway, I was spending my own money - not even gift money or allowance money, but money I'd made myself. I also bought half-off Foot Petals, a red shirt, and lots of pretty Nicole Miller underthings at about 50% off the Bare Necessities price.
- I tried frog for the first time last night. I thought it was extremely delicious, but on an intellectual level it was disgusting. Will probably never order it again, but am glad I tried it.
- I sold my first book on Amazon, for a net gain of about $4.00. I don't think I'll be selling with any seriousness, and I'll only be selling from school because I can't justify driving out to the post office at home, but the extra spending money on Amazon will be nice. I'll pretty much be selling off the things I've read and don't like. I pay for the postage from my piggy bank (hahah yes I have a piggy bank), which is where I drop all my loose change.
- I ordered some business-casual type clothing from Petite Sophisticate because I am short, they are having a sale, and they permit free returns. Win/win situation!
