Nothing new going on. Family is fine, job is fine and I'm fine. So what's really going on? Nothing. Just watching my husband play that dang on PS3 . Between the football games, Socom, and him holding that stupid controller when he should be holding me, I figure this is what my married life is going to be about, lol, just kidding.
So you know what my "thing" is? SHOPPING online and I love it. It's the best of both worlds. Funny, I remember the day I said that I would NEVER shop online, are you CRAZY... the thought of having my personal credit info on a website made me cringe! I remember my first purchase. It was these BEBE one of a kind sandals. Boy, did I have to have them. I first saw these sandals at the Jersey Garden Mall, but like always, my popular shoe size 8 1/2 were all taken. So I checked it out online and viola! I made the purchase online...nervous, but did it. Then I realized, hey this shopping online thing isn't bad, and it's SAFE! I mean, hey, I still love to hit the malls, flea markets, boutiques, or whatever else that requires two legs and next thing you know, I'm surfing like crazy. Eye candy galore and having a wish list like no other with this whole shopping online. Remember, I love shoes! Shoes, shoes, and more shoes. It's an obsession of mines. I will pay a pretty penny for shoes. However, clothes...not really. I mostly shop at JCPenny's when they have their 75% off sale. I brought a 3 pc suit for $5.97 @ JCP (very nice quality), now see.....that's how I do, so when I do see something pricey, I don't feel bad buying it because for my clothes I pay little to nothing. Cream trousers from JCP, $4.97, and I get compliments every time I wear them. Remember accessories is the key to bring out your outfit.

Shopping Online
The pic in my gist are the latest pair of boots that I brought....I can't wait to rock these babies! They are Ralph Lauren Pia Patent Canvas Boots. The original price were $1200 and I cried like a baby...weeks later I wanted to look at them again and tell me why they were on sale for $400, then they dropped the price down to $315!!!! Come on bloggers, that's a steal! No I didn't have the money, but I sure do have a credit card! LOL!!!!! I had to treat myself to those boots. I hardly never do anything special for me, I always sacrifice for my family, and put others first, plus, after all the hell I have been through, I decided to buy those expensive boots. I will wear them loud and proud. It felt good buying those boots!
My girlfriend thinks shopping online is pure crazy. I used to think the same thing, but she doesn't know what she's missing. My only suggestion is that if the website looks suspect/very generic, then don't fool with it. One website wanted my credit card info first and I didn't give it. Remember, there are other websites that carry whatever you are looking for.
PROS FOR SHOPPING ONLINE:
-You can look at over 100 different styles of clothing/shoes/ accessories in minutes without hurting feet and stomach growling, or hassle of the nonsense, i.e. cashier with attitude, etc....
-You can take your time without people rushing you
-Even though you may not like something, you can get ideas on how to put certain pieces together, I LOVE IT!!!!!
-If they don't have it at the store, then check online and I guarantee you 9x out of 10 it will be there.
CONS FOR SHOPPING ONLINE:
-You pay shipping and handling fees even if it's just $5.oo, you might end up paying $10.00.
-You might receive an item that is defected...just send it back and re-order.
-Out of stock! or Discontinue on an item.....I hate that!
-You can not try on the clothes to see if it cut small or if it's a perfect fit. But their size chart is legit.
Here are some sites I go to on the reg. I hope you all enjoy looking as much as I do. These are not all the sites...but maybe I'll add more later.
