 | February 20th, 2009 Recently a bestie was in town from Portland, which meant a much-needed shopping spree. We were in the moment and totally splurged on an over-priced purse. We were convinced by the bestie we would use this glorious butter leather purse with a splash of 1970s Bowie cool for the rest of our recessionista life. The truth is, our glorious purchase has been tucked away in the trunk of our car because of our shopper’s remorse. When we finally had the balls to pull it out of hiding we oohed and ahhed but quickly hid it in the back of our closet where it remains unused and with tags. Interestingly, we learned something new about ourselves with our latest guilt-ridden splurge. As punishment, we’ve decided to torture ourselves with Cup-O-Noodles for lunch for three weeks and deprive our very being from enjoying our lovely new purchase—kind of like the mother from “Flowers in the Attic” depriving her children of sunshine. Oh dear! |

We confess: lately we’ve become a little jaded, especially when it comes to finding a unique store that will have us salivating with lust and want. We were beginning to call it a lost cause until we got out of the car and made it inside. Located in (drum roll, please) a Scottsdale strip mall, T’s Accessories proved to be filled with all kinds of wonderful. Ed Hardy shirts on super discount and lots of great baubles like peace symbol rings and necklaces, zodiac-sign necklaces, gold and silver cuff bracelets, and leather studded bracelets. Suddenly, we were reconnected with our old days as a bartender at a rock n’ roll bar on Sunset Boulevard. In a good way. We longingly eyed a Betsey Johnson clutch purse and a few jewels to complement our spring wardrobe. With dresses, sweaters, jeans, and so much more, this is the place to go if you’re in need of something hip, sparkly and totally now. T's Accessories 15029 N.
