...at Anthropologie. I actually haven't stepped foot inside an Anthropologie in a while (even though it's only 10 minutes away). I've seen all the new arrivals online, but those are only available online, so I was anxious to see what was in store. Also, since my birthday's coming up, I had a 15% off coupon to use in store :)

2. Split Stripes Dress

3. Arched Careena Dress

5. Dakota Dress

...at J.Crew (again). I intended to just return something, but as soon as I walked in, this polka-dot dress caught my eye. It's not available online yet, so I was really surprised to see it. Of course, I snatched it up right away since they had my size. FYI - the dress material is silk and it has pockets!

...at J.Crew. I had to make a quick stop to pick up more clothes for my upcoming business trip. Well, that was my intention, but it's amazing how easily I can get sidetracked.

...at Neiman Marcus. I couldn't walk past a Neiman Marcus without going in and of course I couldn't pass up the Alice + Olivia section.

...I didn't have too much success on Michigan Ave., but I did manage to pick up one of the above items and some new tights & nail polish.

...at J.Crew - my reward for busting my butt and earning a hefty raise. Woot!

...at Anthropologie. This is my favorite time of year to visit the store. It's always so cozy in there. I can't wait until they have their holiday decor out!





...This visit, I tried on the Flickering Slip Dress, Dulcie Dress, and Ganni Basket Dress. All were very cute - and apparently everyone else thought so too, because I couldn't find any in my size :(

...at Burberry. Whew! I think I tried on every Burberry jacket/coat on the market this past weekend. My favorite was the Peplum Duffle Coat, but at almost $1,000 I had to restrain myself from spending that much money (well, Nick had to restrain me from spending that much money).







1. Peplum Wool Duffle Coat

2. Hattingly Raincoat

3. Button Shoulder Jersey Dress



...My real goal for this weekend was to look for a trenchcoat, but I had no idea there were so many different options (black, brown, cropped, long, gold buttons, silver buttons, black buttons, hooded, lined, etc.) - I had a hard time making a decision and ended up not buying one. I'm a little disappointed, but soon enough I'll have one in my closet. In the meantime, I'll just have to be content with another quilted jacket (my third one from Burberry - all of which are black! Oh well.).

...at Neiman Marcus. Nick and I have two upcoming weddings to attend. So while shopping in Chicago today, I was on the hunt for new dresses. Of course, my first stop was at the Alice + Olivia collection and (lucky me) I found two beautiful dresses I couldn't live without - the Elena Bustier dress and Belted One-Shoulder Peplum dress. Success!







1. Belted One-Shoulder Peplum Dress

2. Conry Bell-Sleeve Dress

3. Elena Bustier Dress

...I mentioned yesterday Friday that Anthropologie has a new dress similar to the one I wore to my sister's wedding. Naturally, I had to go try it on. And good thing I did, because the fit was quite different. I was a little disappointed, but luckily there were many other cute dresses that worked out much better for me.
