Small Style and Emotional Shopping…

I’m doing some emotional online window shopping today. Window shopping as I’m trying to be good and not physically spend anything. Sitting on my hands doesn’t seem to be working. Also it’s hard to tweet.

So, if there is anything you are shopping for and you need someone to spend four hours browsing the internet for you, I’m your girl.  I even will prepare a detailed report with sites, prices, options and recommendations for you. That is how much I need to keep my mind busy.

I also love to spend other people’s money.

Maybe you can even buy me a present at the end. Or a pony.

I am also busy trying to list about 400 items on ebay over the next week.  It is now that I figure out that I shopped too much before so perhaps window shopping is the way to go.

Doing ebay over Memorial Day Weekend is pretty much what is on your plate also, yes?  Screw those picnics when there is ebay to be done.  I’m feeling very American these days.

Speaking of obsessing about clothing – I am linking up with Small Style again this week because it’s a safe place for me to find others with similar obsessions.

Esther is wearing a Gap Girl NYC shirt that was sold exclusively at Gap Canada.  Her skort is from Justice(I know, I know) and I LOVE these basic skorts. Mis-matched socks and shoes from Target.

Astrid is in head to toe Matilda Jane with her signature Nuxie Made hat and jeweled Lelli Kelly mary janes.

Eloise is wearing a Gap Girl Paris shirt that was sold exclusively at Gap Canada. Her shorts are from the Gap and her sweater and peace flip-flops are from Target.

    So you’re selling some of your girls’ clothes on Ebay? This might be something I want in on…. let me know your shop name or whatevs. I’m not much of an “Ebay-er” but I’d love to see what you have!

    I’m struck by what a young lady Eloise looks like in these. :)

    I need to be listing on Ebay this weekend. I did 5 today, does that count? I need to iron a pile of clothes and take pics. Would prefer the sun to shine before I do pics…it’s summer, is a little sunshine too much to ask?

    I have never listed anything on EBay, but recently thought it would be a good idea to list some of the girls things for them and let them have the cash instead of always giving everything away. Sadly, they are old enough that we have given away new bikes, kitchens, playhouses … ack, you and I could be sipping cocktails for all i have given away …

    Now you have made me feel useless ;)

    Love the mismatched socks. And your littlest dresses like mine, lots and lots of layers.

    Esther rocks the mismatched socks! Astrid is adorable as always. Eloise? Eloise is a model in the making.

    Window shopping is sort of cruel to a shopaholic :)

    Makes sense NYC and Paris tee is a Gap Canada exclusive. NOT.
    Girls are beautiful, you pictures are stunning. My Amazon shopping cart is always full. Sometimes I look back on things I placed in and wonder. Online window shopping is a blessing.
    Wishing you Sunshine and smiles full weekend!
