SHOPX
HELLO WORLD!
Welcome to our shopping, fashion & beauty group blog. For the past 4+ years ShopX has been our personal fashion portal & showcase. This site has seen us through numerous expenditures & has chronicled our ever-changing tastes. We may call ourselves "shopaholics" but we use that term loosely. You see, contrary to what the dictionary definition or negative connotaions of what a shopaholic is, we're actually the much milder version. ;) Shopaholix's focus is not to impress people with our purchases but to share our fashion interests & personal styles. We are definitely bargain shoppers but we're not suckers for every bargain. We're not your typical label/brand whores either. In fact we buy what WE like with our money regardless of trends or others' opinions. This is our common ground, a site for our shopping quests, tips, & everything else fashion related.

At Woodbury Commons:

went to the Gap Outlet just to get some Long & Leans…grabbed a couple purple tops while i was there as well. i don’t remember how much the tee was, the jeans are always $29.99 and the purple frilly shirt was like…$19.

I just had to post about the really cute barstools I found on (of all places!) eBay. Only $210 for all 3, that includes shipping too! Total bargain. Similar ones were available on Target for upwards of $100+ each hah.

Dining Room/Kitchen - Bar Stools

They arrived yesterday & I couldn’t wait to put them together.

Freaking love them, probably the best part of moving is getting to decorate & start over. :D




   HAUTE LOOK HAUL

I found out about HauteLook.com quite accidentally. I’d been watching the news before work one day (this was months ago) & they had a little segment about a new ’sample sale’ style online store called HauteLook. Sample sales are awesome as you can get things at nearly 50% off or more! So I signed up for their emails right away. How could you not?!

It basically works like this: Every day or so they’ll feature a new designer to showcase and sell pieces from. The online ‘private’ sale is usually from 12-24 hours at a time. Items range from accessories, lingerie, shoes to coats. Most of the pieces are from past collections or seasons. I haven’t seen any handbags on there but I don’t check the site that often.

Stila

I’ve been waiting for the Stila sale for a couple weeks now and purchased a few items from it. I wanted to get more but most of the foundations, glosses, blushes etc were already sold out or they were out of my shade. That’s my only caveat, you have to be quick or get up at the crack of dawn in order to get everything you want in your shade or size. :P But that’s with all sales, right?

Stila

So first up is the Kajal eye liner in ‘Aquamarine’ ($6.60; regular $14.00). This goes on so smooth! Reminds me of Urban Decay’s 24/7 eye pencils. Aquamarine is a really pretty light bluish-green shade, very pretty! I’m definitely going to look more into Stila’s liners.

Stila

Stila

Eye shadow trio in ‘Vallarta’ and ‘Acapulco’ ($12.80 each; regular $32.00). I love these! They go on like butter and they’re very pigmented. I also love the generous size, it’ll last forever. And they’re so pretty! I bought one (Mazatlan) during May of last year and intended to buy all 3 shades but forgot about them heh. I’m so glad I was able to pick them up now and on sale. Talk about good timing! :D

Stila

Eye shadow trio in ‘Gold Glow’ ($10.40; regular $26.00). I usually experiment with new eye combos on the weekends when I have more time. These eye shadow trios make it so easy to put on my face in the mornings as I don’t have to think about shade combinations.

Not bad for only $54.37! :)

   SMALL AUGUST SHOPPING SPREE

before i post pics, i wanted to thank everyone for the warm welcome via Twitter, Plurk and here!

so, yesterday I needed to go shopping. i have been losing weight (!) and a lot of my clothes fit funny. i wanted to get a couple tops to take me from summer to early fall, happened upon some cute shoes at Target of all places, and got some H&B items i needed.

My first stop was to New York and Company…I LOVE this store. I can walk in, grab a few things and walk out…all without trying things on. I know that I can get something that I need and I ALWAYS have a coupon. I used a 30% off coupon today.

– first are some earrings I picked up at NY&Co…they were BOGO 50% off. The first pair was $12.95 and I got the second for $4.47.

earrings

–here are the tops I got from NY&Co. These are $22.95 each. The pink one is $7.47.

another top

–I also got a purple cardi…it has 3/4 sleeves. I paid $32.95 for it.

–then i got a pair of britches…yes I call them britches! These are $39.95.

For 3 tops, 1 sweater, 1 pair of pants, and 2 pairs of earrings I spent a little over $100 after using a 30% off coupon.

 

–at target i found two pairs of cute PURPLE shoes…my fave color!! I got a pair of flats and a pair of peep-toes. The pumps are $26.99 and the flats are $24.99.

 

–i went to Bath and Body Works…if I told you I got all this for $21.35, would you believe me?

The soaps are 5 for $15. The lotion is $11. The lipglosses are buy two at $7.50 get one free. That little purple lookbook is $5. With my $10 off $3o coupon and free product coupon (lotion) I really did spend only $21.35.

–and lastly a few H&B things from Sally’s:

The makeup brush wipes (LOVE!) are $4.99.  The tweezers are $3.99.  The acetone is $2.49 and the shampoo brush is $0.79.  I spent $13.

No more shopping for me for a while…that is until next week when we go on vacay, and we go to Woodbury Commons!!
