So today was my first shopping trip alone. I had about 1 hour and 45 minutes until I had to nurse again so I told my husband I was going to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (started today). I picked up the Bobbi Brown cosmetic kit - I think mainly because of the mini eyeliner brush, eye shadow and case. When I was on maternity leave w/ my first son I was watching the Today Show and they were raving about the bobbi brown gel eyeliner and how it lasts long, doesn't smear, etc. So I tried it and now am a loyal fan of the stuff. If you haven't tried it, you'll love it. I've turned my sister and sister-in-law into loyal fans too.
I also planned to buy these shoes (from the anniversary sale catalog) - but they didn't have my size 6 in black. They told me on Monday they would call me b/c they won't do transfers until then. My feet didn't grow as they say they do when you become pregnant. The 6 1/2 was way too big and the 5 1/2 was a bit too small. I tried the 6 in brown and they fit perfect but I really want the black ones. I could actually do the online thing but I'd rather not pay for shipping.
I can't really buy clothes yet b/c I'm waiting to get to pre-pregnancy size so shoes are good for now =)
It's a quiet house right now...the baby is sleeping and the husband took our toddler to the zoo.
I'm hoping to head to the anniversary sale this weekend too. The shoe department at Nordstroms is the best! I hope you'll be able to find them in your size. Thanks for the tip about the Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner. I'll have to look into it.

It's been so long since I've stopped by ... I'm so lame at keeping up ... So I am so happy to see your gorgeous girl and see that you are doing okay!
Congratulations, and happy birthday, too!
Hope all is well, and I want to tell you again how much I love my beautiful pouch -- I use it every day. As soon as I get something ready for you, I plan to blog your lovely gift; I saved your card and everything!

I'm glad you gave yourself a pretty treat - I remember getting myself some luxurious skincare treats to enjoy after having baby no 2. Puts some perspective back into the crazy 24 hour breastfeeding :) Have fun!

Nothing like racing out of the house and back between nursing sessions. Good for you for getting yourself some treats!
