Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend

True story. What is it about the shiny, compact little rocks that make a woman feel so good? I contemplated this as a strolled from Anthropologie yesterday, with a smile on my face and a diamond necklace in my bag. Not quite sure, but wearing diamonds is a feeling similar to that a woman get's when she yields in benefits from RETAIL THERAPY.

My top picks for retail therapy...just in time for fall:

Anthropologie

This is retail therapy at it's finest, yes you're going to spend a pretty penny on attire here but their pieces are timeless and always in style. Not only does Anthropologie sell great casual dresses and clothing for women they have an array of room decor, bath products and motivating books like, What Would Audrey Do?

Emeralds

Right across the street on N. Lamar is a young lady's heaven. The store makes you feel like you're in a giant closet with jewelry, bags, and dresses but most importantly SHOES. Emeralds has a fabulous selection of shoes with prices ranging from 30-60...not bad for a pair of killer pumps you'll want to wear everyday.

Feathers

If you're more into one of a kind pieces, obviously vintage is your forte. Feathers is top notch for finding vintage designer shoes, bags, dresses and jewelry in excellent condition. Their stock is always changing and although their items can be a little pricey, nothing can beat the fabulous feeling you'll get when wearing a silk designer dress and suede boots!

Goodie Two Shoes

A little less pricey, and a lot more Funky right down the road from Feathers is Goodie Two Shoes on Congress Avenue.  Goodie Two Shoes is a small boutique that sells amazing dresses, shoes and funky jewelry with prices ranging from 15-30 bucks. Perfect for finding the cute wedges or bangles your wardrobe needs. 

Need the therapy this instant but don't have the money to spend? Savers on S.Lamar is my favorite place to thrift shop and find fun pieces to wear. I recently bought a Ninewest bag from Savers for FIVE BUCKS. It's perfect for that new 1990's dress you've been wanting to sport for fun.
