cheap thrills
Monday, November 30th, 2009Today at Urban Outfitters, I bought two more pairs of these shoes. (Yes, they were featured in Lucky this month, but I had them first! Dibs! I’m an original style spotter!) You should buy them too. The low heel is perfect for running around after two kids; the round toe is perfect for looking pulled-together Parisian.
But this post is not about shoes. It’s about the extra $4 I needed to spend to get 20% off the shoes. (In case you’re wondering, enter GIFTED as your coupon code, then FREEBIRD for free shipping.)
Because it’s the holidays, and I really should be buying things for others, I ended up choosing three gifts for three very different kids. For $34.95 (before 20% off, natch), here’s what I bought:
1. Polaroid Notes, for our babysitter by day, artiste by night; 2. WTF Snowglobe, for my defeatist 17-year-old cousin; 3. Ouija Board Keychain, for his superstitious 13-year-old sister.

Getting engaged on Christmas is a cliche on par with garters, ice sculptures, and that twirled-arm-drinking-a-toast-thing.
