Yesterday I was "what if" shopping. If you don't know what "what if" shopping is, it's a term my best friend and I invented and it basically means "what if I was rich and I could buy whatever I wanted?"
So we go around, browsing online clothing stores like it's our job, "pick" whatever we want and then save everything to our computers. The last steps of the "what if" shopping process include imagining ourselves wearing what we picked and creating a story to go behind it. It also involves a lot of "OH MON DIEU's". Like in a movie. It's real fun and it does help when you have those horrible urges to shop.
I WISH I could say the same thing about food. But alas.
These are my latest shopping finds and I l.o.v.e them.
Especially that white bathing suit. You wanna know how much it costs?
All I'm gonna say is: it's unholy.

That white bathingsuit is unreal! I simply ADORE it! xx
i'm in lurv with all of anthropologie's swimsuits!
but alas, their prices kill me a bit inside :(
LOVE that scarf! I do a lot of what if shopping ha! :) xo
your what if's are EXACTLY why I do my Friday's Fancies posts!
I'm also dying over that white bathing suit--and would love to wear that scarf around my neck this spring. le sigh.
happy weekend, my dear! xoxo {av}
the white suit is gorgeous! and i thought, how bad could it be? i was thinking maybe upper 100s and then I saw 300 and was like whoa! too much for a white suit that would probably not make it through a summer spent in the ocean!
I actually have both the scarf and handbag on my current Wish Lists...And I think those bathing suits are going on there too!
The white and blush would look really lovely against your skin.

I love the white suit but come on. That price is beyond outrageous. I can buy a whole new wardrobe for $318!!!!

Wow! All that stuff: I love! I'm gonna have to try this "what if" shopping! Looks fun :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE these! How completely adorable. I go "what if" shopping all the time, my favorite is when you actually find a stellar deal while "what if" shopping {although it slightly defeats the purpose-haha!}

Just clicked over and saw the price of that white suit. You're far beyond unholy, there. I mean... that's just bad wrong.
And the model's two-ha is like... protruding a lot. She should've modeled the black bathing suit, I think.
anthro is my life.

Yes, I love that suit. So nice.
ohh I love "what if" shopping! Thanks for stopping by my blog dear... i LOVE yours! So cute and fun!!! I'm not following!
The "what if" browsing would be too hard for me. I'm such a bad splurger. But I love your picks!
I am in love with that swimsuit! Ill tell you what- I will pay 1/5 of it and you pay the rest and we will share! Perfect idea, if you ask me!
Ahem...I just saw the price. Lets make that 1/10th for me, k?;-)
Your "what if" shopping is my "imaginary shopping spree." I've been bookmarking like crazy now that the season is changing and have been waiting until my collection feels complete to post. I spent too much time "shopping" on Antrhopologie's website but I actually haven't looked at their bathing suits. I love the white one.
aah that uo bikini is gorgeous! and yowza for the white one! sometimes it's best just to look and dream:) target has some pretty cute bathing suits this season, thankfully:)!
sonofa! We're wearing the same bathing suit in our "what if" world ... fashion crisis! jk. I would gladly be your twinkie!
Those bathing suits are gorgeous. I want them so bad.
i want that UO bikini!!!!!!!! too bad it's $124.
Oh I love doing this! I used to do it when I was younger with the Sears toy catalog that came in the mail. Then I'd start doing it when I was a little older with the Sears and JC Penney clothes catalogs. Now that we've got the internet, I do that sometimes with clothes sites but more recently I've started doing it with furniture/ home websites. Like I'll go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and pretend that I have infinite money and have to re-decorate my entire house (including new dishes and pots and pans, of couse). It's so much fun but then sometimes it reminds me of how much stuff I actually do need! Lol.
