Banana Republic had the entire store at 30% off this weekend and I scored two incredible dresses. I don’t buy the same garment in various colors very often, but this dress was so cute, flattering and work-appropriate that I just had to get it in both colors. They were on sale for $41.99 each plus 30% off. I paid about $60 for both.
My final clothing purchase was this gorgeous long cardigan from Armani Exchange. Initially, I bought a long, oatmeal-colored cardigan at Nordstrom for $69.00 but when I stopped in at Armani Exchange, I liked the one I tried on there so much better and I went and returned the one I had gotten just 15 minutes before at Nordstrom. Yep, I was THAT customer. But a great LONG cardigan is hard to come by. The Armani one was a little more at $88 but is much more interesting than the plain one I had purchased before. IRL it’s a soft, dusty lilac color.
” because I read on The Possesionista’s blog (in an interview she had with The Bachelor’s Michelle Money) that it’s the one she uses. Michelle’s makeup was always so pretty on the show so I decided to try it out. It’s similar to Bobbi Brown’s peony but more of a cooler-toned pink. I also bought another long-wear gel liner because I was running low. This time, I got the color Black Plum which is a matte deep purple infused with black…it looks kind of like a purple infused with brown. Very pretty.

I love that cardi! Also BB pale pink is my second favorite blush, with nectar being my first.
I also took advantage of the 30% off but at the gap and found some great things! I also finally bought Nars Laguna bronzer.
Ooooooo the plum liner sounds pretty!
Nice haul! I picked up Bobbi Brown blush in Nectar last wk based on your love for Peony (Peony I think would be too cool/pink for me… Nectar has a little more coral/peach to it) I love the formula and the product, def a convert 🙂
i love the idea of a plum liner too! sounds very versatile, and fun for spring
I love the Bobbi Brown gel liners! I use my graphite shimmer ink almost every day. I've been eyeing up the plum color for awhile. It's so pretty and flattering on brown eyes.
Cute, cute dress! I could see why you pulled a Wrigley's.
I did! Finally got a fun lululemon hoodie…but that was really it, clothing wise! Otherwise, I didn't bite at anything…glad to hear your black shopping cloud has been lifted!
I also bought some BB this weekend; a shop I like in The Woodlands had an event on Saturday. I went with the Black Mauve liner and Pink Sugar blush along with a couple other things.
Also, this shop had the Oribe haircare line and one of the sales associates freshened up my (day old) hair while I waited for the BB MUA…he put this anti-humidity spray on me that I swear is the Holy Grail of frizz-fighting. I want it so bad, but it's $38/can…
@amy—do you have a link for the Orbie product? My salon uses the line now and this sounds like a product I need! I don't care what the cost—my hair gets crazy in humidity!
another skirt from LOFT. it's navy and khaki tiny stripe with a grograin navy ribbon that ties at the waist. can't wait to pair it with colorful tops and flats.
@Veronika – here you go!

thanks 🙂
V I think you have officially hooked all of your readers onto Bobbi Brown's gel liners and blushes- I have the gel liners in Caviar, Forest Shimmer, Black Mauve Shimmer and the blush in Peony and Pale Pink- I have to try the Black Plum liner now! Cute fashion finds as well! I need to do some shopping 🙂
Hey Veronika! I know you use macs studio fix powder, but check out Chanel vitalumiere aqua for summer. So light, yet wonderful coverage and water based. I read you were interested in trying a liquid one. I am extremely acne prone and Chanel foundations are only ones that dont break me out! You can get a sample first!!! 🙂
