EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this real? Is Jimmy Choo really doing a line for H&M? The answer is: YES!

and it gets awesomer

Hunny Bunny's mom has never given me a Christmas gift. And I never expected one, especially since we've never spent the holiday together! I suppose because of the impending nuptials, she decided to send me a little package - a gift card to Nordstrom! Momma Bunny knows me so well.

Anylucky, MB didn't write how much was on the card so I decided to call the hotline and see what the balance was. To my utter delight, the card had an extra 'zero' to number I was thinking. I won't go into details because talking about money is soooo tacky, but let's just say it was nearly enough for me to pay for both of these teeteringly tall beauties that I had presaled on Christmas Eve to be picked up on Boxing Day.

I had a couple other gift cards (thanks Veen!) and only had to pay $25 to cover the rest.

I heart these grey Miu Miu suede booties.

There's just a little bit of a hidden platform so they're not that high.

And the Jimmy Choo T-strap Mary Janes? Fahgettaboutit!



Sure they're sky high and I can barely walk, but dang it. I'll get used to it, right? I mean after my snowboarding accident three years ago, I really haven't been that adventurous in heels. I think its high time I get back to wearing them. Don't you agree?

What better way to recover than to jump right back in? Feet first.

Thanks for the shoe spree Momma Bunny!

One side note, Hunny Bunny was a little peeved that all he got for Christmas from his momma was some long underwear. Better than lumps of coal, I say!

i confess

Okay, so I didn't merely look at the Jimmy Choo Malena bag during the pre-sale at Nordstrom.. I actually bought it. There you have it. I've laid it out on the table.

I can't lie to you. And I'm sorry for trying. I swear I was going to tell you as soon as I got home from Mexico! I just needed to clear my head and make sure I was doing the right thing! I'm still in denial about the whole thing.

Oh who am I kidding?? The bag is flippin' gorgeous.

During the pre-sale, while I was admiring the bag, this British woman said I had to buy the bag because I would totally regret not snapping it up. But the next day, when I went to pick it up, the sales gal told me that as soon as I left, that woman asked if I bought the bag! She wanted to steal it from me! What a scavenger.

Apparently while I was distracted by JC (and I don't mean Chasez or Jesus), the woman was totally scoping out what other people were looking at. Whenever someone picked something up, she would swoop in and try to steal it from them! Tsk tsk. Obviously she does not know the rules of shopping.

And I'm not sure if the sales gal was just trying to butter me up into keeping the bag, but she said that tons of people were calling about the Malena because it was still in their "system". Too late!

practically stealing!

Designer bags are going to be 60% off starting tomorrow at Nordstrom. They're doing presales right now! Go, go, GOOOOO!

I was looking at this lovely Jimmy Choo Malena bag that I hadn't seen on sale before (and I check weekly!) and commented about it to the sales gal and she was like, "Oh we have a ton of different bags just sitting in the back."

Don't you think it's kinda unheard of to find a black leather bag on sale for 60% off? Hello, McFly? When was the last time you found a decently sized bag for under $1K?

Anyway, I surmised that they're trying make it seem like there's only a small selection of bags left over so there's more of a frenzy. But in fact, they just keep replenishing from the back! I'm on to you Uncle Nordies! Watch out!

Hmmm.. Maybe it's just the Seattle store where there aren't as many designer bag hoarders like me around!

not my fault

Everytime my friend comes home (she works in Japan) for a visit, she makes me want to shop and buy fancy things that I can't afford. It's not her fault. It's all me. I covet everything she has! I told her that if she ever has a garage sale, to please put me at the top of her list.

Since she's not having a blowout sale anytime soon, I decided to do a little online window shopping. I really love the color of that 3.1 Phillip Lim dress.. And I do love the Jimmy Choo Mahala bag. They're both on sale.. I'm waiting for them to get marked down once more. *wink*

But you'll be so proud to know that I did not buy the Zac Posen dress I found at the Rack yesterday. It's gorgeous, but do I need it? No. Even though it was orig. $1675, marked down to $449 with an additional 40% off! Wait a minute. Maybe I should get it! Dammit. I may have just talked myself into it.

*spank*

Bad.

I think I'll hold out for the Phillip Lim dress. It's more my style. hohum...

wish me luck and patience

I've been craving this Jimmy Choo Mia bag in all black - not that weird burnt color. It's on sale at Nordstrom right now for $975, originally $1625.

I totally can't buy another bag this year, especially with my Lanvin and Chloe barely out of their dust bags... But oh how I covet this Jimmy Choo! I'm hoping that no one else likes it and that it will be marked down to 60% off.

I really shouldn't be blogging about it thus advertising it as a drool worthy bag. I shouldn't be giving you ballers out there a chance to buy it from right under my nose. Maybe I'm unconciously trying to sabotage myself and secretly wishing that someone else buys it so I don't have any further temptation.

Oh who am I kidding? I want it. And if I find out that you bought it, I'm gonna cut you. "Gimme my bag!"

The internal battle rages on.

shame on me

How the heck did I forget this? Jimmy Choo's sale started last week! D'oh! It's not too late though! They still have this gorgeous Togo bag!



I know you want to buy it for me.

decisions, decisions

I've always liked the Lanvin Kansas Tote and now it's on sale at Barneys for 40% off! Do I keep the Jimmy Choo or should I get the Lanvin? Jimmy is only slightly cheaper than the Lanvin.. Then again, I'd have to pay tax on the Lanvin. Phooey!


I've been dreaming of a black leather bag for so long and now all of them are on sale! Why oh why are you torturing me? Why can't I just be richbitch and not lookrichbitch? Where's the fun in that?

UPDATE: I bought the Lanvin. I went to Barney's when they opened and bought it! It was the last one! I better return the Jimmy Choo when it arrives. D'oh!

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.
