It's too quiet on this board!!! Let's make some fun polls...
I will start:
If you could only shop at one store for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
How much do you spend on clothes/accessories/makeup in one month?
What is your favorite color and do you incorporate it into your outfits often?
What is something you are currently lusting after?
What is your favorite F/B related item?
What is on your current wish list?
What do you wish you had not purchased?

Re: It's too quiet on this board!!! Let's make some fun polls...
If you could only shop at one store for the rest of your life what would it be and why? J.Crew. I love them now and could see them being appropriate for my life and style for years to come. Maybe not when I'm 80, but you never know!
How much do you spend on clothes/accessories/makeup in one month? I'm coming off maternity leave now but on a normal situation, I tend to buy less often but spend more. Averaged out over a year, probably 100 a month?
What is your favorite color and do you incorporate it into your outfits often? Love me some purple, and I do incorporate it often, whether via toenail polish, a fun bracelet, blouse color, etc.
What is something you are currently lusting after? I really really want the Cartier Love bracelet. I don't know what color I would get, but I love this bracelet. I am considering saving up for the wedding band in pink gold as a right hand ring or get it in white gold or platinum to use as stacked for my wedding band and anniversary band.
What is your favorite F/B related item? My Clarisonic, but a close second would be my epilator - I love how smooth it makes my underarms. I have dark hair and shaving doesn't work, but the epilator makes it nice and smooth!
What is on your current wish list? I wanted and just bought some Fossil sandals - flats with a tiny wedge at the heel. H's dog ate mine when she was a puppy and I hadn't found a good replacement. I'm waiting on the Zappos shipment now! I would also like some fun colored cropped pants. My job is WFH most of the time but I'm occassionaly in the office and doing research at the courthouse so it would be completely appropriate for my situation.
What do you wish you had not purchased? I bought a Coach bag that is just too small for what I usually carry. It is a nice bag and isn't obviously a Coach (no logos, etc.) and I'm very happy with the style and quality, just wish it was bigger!
Great idea!!!
If you could only shop at one store for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
--Nordstrom.. because it has literally everything at many price points. Shoes, dresses, shirts, pants, lingerie, make-up, accessories, etc etc!
How much do you spend on clothes/accessories/makeup in one month?
--Clothes/accessories: $150 or so. Make-up: $75 or so. Some months more than others. Just depends
What is your favorite color and do you incorporate it into your outfits often?
--Grey and white. I incorporate them often.. love neutrals
What is something you are currently lusting after?
--I want to find the perfect accordian pleated skirt.
What is your favorite F/B related item?
--How could I choose just one? This isn't fair
What is on your current wish list?
--I need a perfect pair of shorter heels that I can wear all day at the office. And another purse.. could always use another purse. Preferably Coach or Michael Kors.
What do you wish you had not purchased?
--Anything I second-guess at the store. Because if I end up taking it home, I never wear it. My new resolution is to NOT buy anything unless I am 100% in love with it.
If you could only shop at one store for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
JCrew!!!!
How much do you spend on clothes/accessories/makeup in one month?
More than what I like to admit!!!! Some months more than others, but I think on average it's somewhere around $500, if not more! (I am trying to pay off whatever I charge at the end of the month and that has been very eye opening, I returned a bunch of stuff last weekend)
What is your favorite color and do you incorporate it into your outfits often?
Purple, I do have a lot of purple evening dresses, I have green eyes, and with purple I don't like washed out so much. But for everyday, I have to say it's mostly grey or black, I know boring!!
What is something you are currently lusting after?
Cartier Ballon Bleu mid size watch, after thousand of hints to DH, he said the other day, when we have a baby, that would be my push present! (yes, we just started TTC!)
What is your favorite F/B related item?
Right now, I am in love with Chanel nail polishes, I am trying to save a little more money and doing my own nails at home, they are really easy to apply.
What is on your current wish list?
a peplum top, haven't found anything flattering yet.
What do you wish you had not purchased?
I do have a few lovely designer items in my closet, that wish I did not spend money on. I do get caught up in the it's so and so deisgner and marked down 90% off, wow what a good deal, but then will never wear it.
If you could only shop at one store for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
Right now I'd have to say Kohl's- I am loving their Vera Wang and Lauren Conrad lines.
How much do you spend on clothes/ accessories/ makeup in one month?
Too much- Our wedding was in May, so I was buying makeup for the wedding & stuff for the HM and haven't really gotten out of the "shopping spree" mode. I've also lost a bit of weight, so most of last years summer clothes aren't fitting this year, and it's SUPER exciting to be buying smaller sizes- I'm currently spending about $200/ month, but that really isn't normal for me- Before the wedding/ weight loss, it was more like $50 or less.
What is your favorite color and do you incorporate it into your outfits often?
Orange! And not really- Doesn't really look great on me, unfortunately
What is something you are currently lusting after?
I'm searching for a diamond/ gold version of the necklace I wore for our wedding- It was a cheapy from Target, but I'd love to have a "real" version of it (or something similar).
What is your favorite F/B related item?
Love, love, love my Tarte Lipsurgance in Lively- Always feel prettier with it on. And my gold tiny skull Michelle Chang necklace- Wear it every day.
What is on your current wish list?
There's nothing I'm really dying for right now
What do you wish you had not purchased?
Hmm... I guess that half of my makeup that I never use?
If you could only shop at one store for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
Ann Taylor Loft... I love that darn place.
How much do you spend on clothes/accessories/makeup in one month?
Ha oh goodness. I go in spurts. I won't buy anything for a while, and then I'll get $100-$200 in one shot.
What is your favorite color and do you incorporate it into your outfits often?
Purple.. and I was just told by my good friend and fashion consultant that I'm not allowed to buy any more purple clothing...
What is something you are currently lusting after?
Every single shade of YSL lipstick. I'm obsessed. Slash kate spade wallet.
What is your favorite F/B related item?
Ooh that's tough. Either my Clarisonic or my new obsession YSL lipsticks. The one I have is #27, Rose Paris.
What is on your current wish list?
Specifically YSL lipstick #3 Beige Ultimate, the Too Faced Summer Eye palette that is sold out everywhere, this beautiful white Michael Kors dress I saw on Macy's that was on sale but I shouldn't get it, and a pair of Sperry Top Sider boat shoes.
What do you wish you had not purchased?
My nude shoes from Aldo. I wish I had gotten them elsewhere, but I was desperate for nude pumps.. and settled on the ones from Aldo. They don't fit GREAT, and I think if I had just waited... I would have found the right pair.
Yes, polls are good!
If you could only shop at one store for the rest of your life what would it be and why? Holt Renfrew, it's the Canadian equivalent to Saks/Barney's, no explanation required here, lol.

50-100 or sometimes less

What is something you are currently lusting after?
believe it or not, I want the new clarisonic with two speeds. would LOVE to have one
What is your favorite F/B related item?
I am loving my bottle of visionaire from Lancome. I got it free at one of our meetings and boy has it made a difference with my skin texture and minimizing the appearance of my pores.
What is on your current wish list?
The clarisonic
What do you wish you had not purchased?
Sally Hanson nail polish wraps (no polish ones) they were a complete waste of money and chipped within two hours!
If you could only shop at one store for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
Probably Nordstrom's also. That is an intense question...It makes me realize how indecisive I am!
How much do you spend on clothes/accessories/makeup in one month?
Honestly, under $10 usually. I am fresh out of college and haven't had a lot of extra money to make purchases. I clothes shop pretty infrequently, but I desperately need to start building my wardrobe more than buying a flimsy piece here and there. Averaged out, maybe $20 a month?
What is your favorite color and do you incorporate it into your outfits often?
Charcoal grey, probably. And, yes! I love neutrals. I'm also loving chartreuse and am looking for the perfect way to incorporate it (in a small way) into my wardrobe.
What is something you are currently lusting after?
A Proenza Schouler bag.
What is your favorite F/B related item?
I'm a nail polish addict--so currently, an OPI shade of matte olive green.
What is on your current wish list?
A huge envelope clutch. I found one on Etsy that I will be purchasing ASAP.
What do you wish you had not purchased?
Hmmmm... I haven't made enough purchases recently! There is one dress from Hautelook that I am back and forth on. I love the dress, but the liner is too short, which is annoying, and it is too tight across my chest. However, I'm nursing and should be done soon.
I'll play.
If you could only shop at one store for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
A department store we have in MI called Von Maur. I know other states have them, but I don't think they're everywhere. They have a variety of price points and GREAT sales. Plus their credit card is interest free.
How much do you spend on clothes/accessories/makeup in one month?
Ugh. Don't make me think about it. Too much. Probably $100-$200 lately.
What is your favorite color and do you incorporate it into your outfits often?
Yellow. I've been trying to wear it more often, but I'm not sure it really goes that well with my coloring.
What is something you are currently lusting after?
Can't think of anything specific right now
What is your favorite F/B related item?
Juice Beauty products. They've helped my skin SO much.
What is on your current wish list?
What do you wish you had not purchased?
The Goddess Maxi Dress from Ann Taylor in Marigold that I had been lusting after. I got it onsale, so that was good, but I didn't love it as much as I thought I would.
