I have very short hair now, but I can still rock a great headband. Here’s the one I bought this past weekend from Anthropologie. (Early) Merry Christmas to me.

We are now growing 5 Christmas Trees in a bag on our dining table.

And I also got this Advent calendar for a very cute and awesome couple. Happy Advent to you both!

July 27th, 2009Diannashopping: on a budget

I think about half of the clothes hanging in my closet are from Target. I’m in love with that store. And ever since they introduced their GO International line I haven’t been able to think of a reason not to go wander the aisles.

Here’s the last shirt I bought for less than $10:

Thank you Target for giving me the chance to try out some high end designers without the CRAZY expensive prices.

Here are a few designers I’ve been able to try out:

Tracy Feith
Alexander McQueen
Alice Temperley
Patrick Robinson
Thakoon
Rogan
Jovoich-Hawk

Now, I wait patiently for the next GO International designer to sell their wares at prices I can afford. It was suppose to be Anna Sui, who got her inspiration from Gossip Girl, but Target axed the deal. Target, please find a new designer STAT. I’m going through withdrawals.

$10 = dinner and the longest night and worse day of 2009

January 22nd, 2009Dianna$10 a day, all about me!, random, shopping: on a budget, things I should never do again

Spending $10 and getting a pint of beer, a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and a mug of cappuccino the size of my head was pretty awesome. And a good use of $10.

But you know what is not awesome? Staying up until 2am because of the aforementioned cappuccino. I mean I spent my time well by reading Twilight. But for some reason I woke up at 4am and could not go back to sleep. That made for a really cranky and mean Dianna. That is a Dianna no one wants around. If I didn’t work from home I’d would have been at my desk in my office crying, with my head on my desk. I’ve done it before. And there was cussing involved.

I’ve been having a bunch of teachable moments and life lessons this week. It’s been that kind of week. So here’s my lesson from that day: NEVER drink that much caffeine at 8pm. And just because my day was crappy didn’t mean it had to end that way. And thanks to Tracee, Miko, Tisa, and Tashar I had a FAB night!

December 11th, 2008Diannabirthday gifts I want!, shopping: on a budget, stuff i like

To celebrate post number 100 I feel it is my duty to tell you about a SUPER sale!

Every morning I get an email tailored to my shopping (and savings) wants. Here’s what peeked my interest today:

You can purchase this awesome jacket here from Bloomingdale’s for a little under$55 (and that includes estimated shipping and tax!). The key is to enter the code SAVEMORE at checkout.

Happy Shopping!

Oh and if anyone wants to buy this for me I take a small/medium.
