I've bought quite a bit off Ruelala - a Kate Spade Purse and sunglasses, a pair of Citizens, a Lilly nightgown, and most recently, a gorgeous watch. I love it! It makes me feel a little less guilty about designer purchases.

just bought this dress from belk for my birthday!



It fits like a glove! I'm pairing it with some patterned tights (very small pattern) and black booties <3

9/1/2009 9:54:36 PM

LOVE that dress. Much more of a birthday dress than the others you had posted. I feel like you should not wear tights but that's just me!

Where do ya'll get pants hemmed around here?

agree that dress is lovely!!

^ Wang's Taylor on Western and Gorman does a good job. They sometimes have a $5 hem deal too.

9/2/2009 8:24:00 AM

^ Ditto on Wang's

And that dress is so cute! The color is great.

9/2/2009 8:27:17 AM

I do not recommend Wang's...

My husband brought a lot of nice suits there due to recommendations and they did a terrible job hemming and altering everything. They adjusted the length of his sleeves and the buttons are actually in a zigzag pattern going down the sleeve... Charged a lot as well.

I recommend the little shop off Buck Jones in front of Rugged Wearhouse in Cary. I had an entire two piece dress redone by her and she did an amazing job as well as numerous pants and my husband takes all his suits there now.

I bought some more jewl from that awesome seller yesterday (all free s/h):

$2.22

.99

$1.40

$3.14

$2.26

Seller's Store (got lost at the end of the last page)

http://www.shoedazzle.com - $40 a month gets you a new pair of shoes*


* - sizes 5 1/2 to 10 only

9/2/2009 4:12:55 PM

^ that looks kind of neat. do you do it? can you post some of the pictures of shoes you've gotten?!

9/2/2009 4:15:46 PM

tights look better with the shoes and I really want to wear those shoes! haha

9/2/2009 11:00:02 PM

^^^ and ^^ I am interested in this as well but want to see what you've gotten so far.

And is it just a one time $40 and you just do the surveys once a month and then some shoes appear at your door?

I know what you mean! I personally have not found anything yet that I wanted to buy off Rue La La, but I see lots of nice things at good prices. I really like Revolver Consignment on Glenwood. I have gotten so many great designer pieces there for great deals...this is my way of getting designer duds for a less guilty price!

9/3/2009 7:25:08 PM

^^ I think you just fill out a questionnaire, pick from some "which of these styles do you like most?" photos, and then they "match" your style preferences to some shoes you might like. Doesn't seem like much work. You don't pay the first $39 until you receive the first pair of shoes, then in future months you either pay when you choose a pair of shoes, or you can elect to skip that month's offerings.

The clothing/shoes/purses/jewl/etc swap is tomorrow night at my place... EXCITED! I have a ton of stuff.

9/4/2009 1:41:29 PM

I just got some diadora tennis shoes for $25 a pair at DSW. 2 pairs, tan and black suede. very light and comfy, but obviously most americans have never heard of them so they are on the cheap. They only have 8s left in the tan now.

9/6/2009 10:45:57 PM

Ummm...a lot of Americans do actually, especially the ones that play soccer because a lot of soccer jerseys are made by them.

Then how else could they be so cheap? It was funny, I was trying the diadoras all on and so many other women were passing them up, then going to pick up a pair of sketchers or something inferior.

They also make bicycle and motorcycle shoes, which is how I know about them. If they had diadora motorcycle boots for $25 a pair I would have bought at least 4.

9/7/2009 3:12:48 PM

Probabaly just cause they aren't the style that people wear all the time....I'm sure if people passed up on nike and new balances all the time they would be cheap too.

9/7/2009 4:24:41 PM

i need some new knee high boots. What designer has amazing boots?

9/7/2009 5:22:48 PM

charles david makes some good ones and Rue La La is going to be selling them on the 10th.

9/7/2009 5:29:28 PM

Nah, they were pretty classic stuff.

I got this in black, but was also available in brown:

I just bought my first pair of skinny jeans and I'm having a hard time finding the right boots to wear with them. Any suggestions?

9/7/2009 7:24:40 PM

coolest (most expensive!) bridesmaid dress ever:

[Edited on September 7, 2009 at 7:53 PM. Reason : would be helpful if i posted right!]

9/7/2009 7:46:02 PM

how much is it?

I spent nearly $300 on my last one

9/7/2009 7:56:32 PM

eh 270 or 290. i guess not THAT expensive, but i think for some of tww it would be!

i mean i wouldn't wanna buy it but i wouldn't mind forcing people to..muhahaha.

9/7/2009 7:57:59 PM

i ran across that dress when looking for BM dresses myself. no thanks--reminds me of a toga.

9/7/2009 7:59:24 PM

yea i can see that

i just looked at pictures of an actual wedding that it was used in and i loved the way all the girls "tied" or whatever you do to it theirs (less togaish than the website pics)

but i like it even with its toganess

9/7/2009 8:01:26 PM

does corduroy hem well?

i got a pair of 7 cords off hautlook and a) i can't decide if i LOVE them and b) like all designer stuff with me, they need to be majorly tailored. i can't decide if i just want to return them

9/9/2009 8:59:24 PM

I've been getting so many compliments on the jewelry I got at the swap.

Thanks ncsuGALxcPaC!

We need to have another one soon and with more tall girls.

9/9/2009 9:12:23 PM

Hey great! I have been rocking all your stuff too! I wore the workout pants yesterday and the shorts earlier this week... We totally need to do another one soon. I'm glad you like the jewl - we'll def get some tall girls in there next time and I'll clean out some more jewl! I have way too much. That's a crime against humanity that I said that.

9/10/2009 9:10:21 PM

why so long?

i can't remember the last time i bleed but thats a different story

9/10/2009 9:16:58 PM

I just don't ovulate every month unless I'm on birth control.

9/10/2009 9:17:34 PM

my softspots have fallen apart, and so they're being sent back to zappos for an exchange.





Which ones? These are primarily for work (business casual), and occasional errands - I tend to go barefoot whenever I can, even on campus and at work.
The first are the most similar to what's being sent back.

I'm leaning towards option 3. Option 1 would be so much better without that buckle.

9/11/2009 11:18:00 AM

I've been looking at #3 too, I just need an excuse to buy em

9/11/2009 11:26:18 AM
