Intro Poll?

[hz80408]

There are a lot of new faces popping up on here (which is awesome!) but I don't think everyone has done an intro. Let's do a intro poll?

1. How long have you been posting (or lurkering?)

2. 3 fav S&B places to shop

3. 3 fav S&B items you own

4. Where do you live?

5. Random fact about yourself

[mrsho]

1. How long have you been posting (or lurkering?)
I started lurking right before switching over from the TN.

2. 3 fav S&B places to shop
3 is not enough!
1. Loft and NY&Co for every day casual and basics
2. Nordstrom BP for more trendy accessories / tops
3. Neiman Marcus for dresses/shoes/purses
4. Anthropologie


3. 3 fav S&B items you own
Of all time:
1. My collection of Phoebe Couture dresses
2. Tory Burch shoes/sandals/purses
Current:
3. Skinny legging jeans from NY&Co. These are soooo figure flattering.


4. Where do you live?
Suburbs of Dallas

5. Random fact about yourself
I love love love fashion but work in a environment where most people wear jeans and very casual clothes so I tend to not go out of my way to dress up at work. Most people from work probably wouldn't recognize me outside of work because I have to wake up early to take care of the baby, exercise, shower, etc, so I just come in very blah because there is no time on week days. Not particulary happy about this, but that's the way it goes.

[holdingthestars]

I'll go! I've been meaning to do any intro for awhile now.

1. How long have you been posting (or lurkering?) Way too long, since the Nest days. Now that I think about it, it sounds kind of creepy...

2. 3 fav S&B places to shop: Limited, Express, Loft

3. 3 fav S&B items you own: That's tough! I guess I'll go with my Limited leopard print infinity scarf, a red Jessica Simpson a-line knee length coat and leopard Sperry Annabelle flats. I love leopard print and you ladies have definitely inspired me to use it as a neutral! I'm also pretty obsessed with most things polka dot or stripe.

4. Where do you live? Suburb of St. Louis, MO

5. Random fact about yourself: I have been married for 3 years and we have two cats who are very spoiled.

[Brit]

1. How long have you been posting (or lurkering?)
I'm not sure, I've been lurking on and off since the mass TN exodus with a random post here and there. I might as well officially come out of lurking now.

2. 3 fav S&B places to shop
Bloomingdales and Nordstrom

I live in BFE now, so where do I shop? Mostly TJ Maxx and Target.

3. 3 fav S&B items you own
My cowboy boots, an ancient pair of TR Jeans that are the most comfortable and flattering ever, and a long turquoise necklace that I got in India.

4. Where do you live?
Southern Indiana

5. Random fact about yourself
Haha. I'm really not very interesting or stylish, for that matter.

1. How long have you been posting (or lurkering?)
I am awful at remembering such details... I was poking around on TN, so at least since then?

2. 3 fav S&B places to shop
Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, and it's about a 10-way-tie for the 3rd

3. 3 fav S&B items you own
Can I categorize? My bags and my boots.


4. Where do you live?
Boston (well, just outside, technically)

5. Random fact about yourself
I love fashion, but I kind of hate the mall... I'd much rather scour discount stores like TJMaxx's runway section or Nordstrom Rack to find deals. I also shop about 90% online... honestly can't remember the last time I bought clothes in a store!
(oh wait, I take that back- just bought a pair of Genetic Denims at the consignment store down the street this morning!)

Omg!!! Me also!!! So excited to see a neighbor here.

1. How long have you been posting (or lurkering?) Didn't lurk, just jumped right in this past July. Which is kinda sad considering the ridiculous amount of posts I have.

2. 3 fav S&B places to shop
Does "online" count? I bet my UPS guy could answer this question! Haha
Definitely Nordstrom and I also have a lot of luck at Dillards.
Then there are a handful of stores I love going into but my wardrobe isn't necessarily saturated with their stuff- like JCrew, Anthro, Banana, Francesca's.
And even though its not my *favorite* places to shop- like I just HAVE to go in if there is one - I have a ton of stuff from Express. But like I said, I can easily pass up an Express. But I will always go into JCrew, Anthro, etc. Strange.


3. 3 fav S&B items you own
Omg I can't pick 3. I will just pick the top 3 purchases this season--
My CL birthday boots, my dot Kate Spade pumps, a print DVF shift dress.

I just made the rest of my wardrobe jealous.
