scoffs at 40% off...

I wish someone would hire me to do this every day..

Spent the morning with my good friend Nicole from the Seattle Times.

Her assignment? Shop at the newly opened Neiman Marcus at The Shops at the Bravern. My assignment? Shop at the newly opened Neiman Marcus at The Shops at the Bravern.

Oh and tweeting about our finds!

We walked right into the cosmetics department and already I could feel the frenzy. Immediately, we were offered makeovers at the Chanel counter. They could feel the $50 gift card burning a hole in my pocket. Must.Resist. (I'm waiting for the arrival of the Noir Obscur collection to arrive before I make any hasty makeup decisions!)

Then we hit the shoes. Loves.

Then we hit the designer collections. Loves-Loves.

Then I tried on an Ali Ro ruffle windbreak. Loves-Loves-Loooooves.

I was a good girl today and didn't buy anything. (It probably didn't help that I just dropped my car off for repairs and am anticipating a hefty bill!)

And you know me. I prefer to shop when there's a discount involved. I'm more excited for future Last Call sales!

who/what/wear:

shirt - Hunny Bunny's closet
jeans - Rock & Republic
flats - Loeffler Randall
tote - vintage Chanel
sunnies - ray ban
...and a couple pearl necklaces I twisted up

moment of weakness

Now I think I'm going to throw up because I just ordered a Jimmy Choo bag! It's on sale at Bergdork (typo but I kinda like it!) It kinda reminds me of the Ramona bag but smaller and way less expensive. This one is $988 from $1475. Woohoo! It's black and it's under $1K!

This is the Chloe that I was holding around the other day. I'm totally over it now. Hahaha. Hey! I'm a girl! I was born to be fickle. Besides it's a bit too tall and quite pricey.

Does that mean I can't buy another bag in January when I go to Europe? Of course not! Buying a bag there would be considered as buying a souvenir and you can't go on vacation without buying souvenirs, right?

Anyway, Bergdorf and Neimans both started their designer sales today. (If you live where I live, you should order from Bergdorf, if you can.. Neimans charges tax!) Now go spend some money so I don't feel quite so guilty.
