Moby Dick

Just a quick update on the stuff I picked up at the Vineyard Vines Whale of a Sale right from the comfort of my own bed.


From L - R: Boys' Shep Shirt, Rope Plaid Tiller Skirt, & Boys' Globe Tee

I'm actually really excited about the skirt because I've been drooling over it since I got the FW 2009 Catalog. I'm also really excited for the Shep Shirt because I need something to wear over my gym clothes on the trek from my apartment to campus.

Move Ya Body like a Snake Charmer.

Last week, I had monday off (from work too! it's so rare to get a day off as a Nanny) -- So I went to the big Bloomingdale's sale. I got two really great things:

Roberto Cavalli Sunglasses
(The Case is Zebra Print, They're Leopard Inside, They have big gold snakes on them.... all of my dreams. They're tacky in the way that i always want Roberto Cavalli to be tacky. )


Aqua Multi-Strand Chain & Pearl Necklace
(i've been hearing a lot about the plain tshirt and glam necklace look, so I decided to give it a try. I kind of like it. here, I'm wearing the chain with a basic black Long Sleeve T from J.Crew)


Then I did some ebay magic and came back with these two beauties:

Gold-Tone 1970s Snake Arm Cuff
(I bought this on a whim. I've been into people wearing bracelets on their upper forearms, so i'm going to give it a try.)


Tiny 1940s Gold & Rhinestone Bow Scarf/Neckerchief Clip
(I'm really excited about this because I think it looks really fun. I might also make it into a necklace because it has a few places in the back where I can slide a Chain through.)




you'll have to excuse my robe & chipped nails in the last two photos. one of my kids got me sick, so i am in bed reading and enjoying the day in my fuzzy robe. though, i went shopping yesterday (after a great lunch at PingPong Dim Sum) and got a GREAT spring skirt. I can't wait to wear it once the weather gets warm.

also, i put up some composites of my favorite shows in Milan over at my tumblr: falseprophet.tumblr.com

IT'S A SALE!

Starting Dec 3rd - the above listed is in effect. Let's pray that the boots I wanted happen to be un-sold out in the DC store / online / everywhere or I will have to think of a new gift to ask my parents for.

I'm Back & So Are Some Great Deals.

I've been really busy lately getting A's, traveling around the East Coast, Checking my SaleMail, Rearing My Kids, & Shopping. My life is thrilling and if you care to read about it in great length and detail. I can direct you to the correct outlet.

For those of you that don't know. This weekend marks TWO milestones in my shopping career. I found my favorite item ever (i think. i like it more than my white leather jacket) & I realized that in one realm of retail, i actually have NOTHING left to buy.

So let's start with the bad news. I was walking through Georgetown perusing the racks at Annie Creamcheese with my good friend Lauren when we started talking about where else we should stop in during our excursion. We both paused after I said Sephora and came to the simultaneous realization that we have nothing left to buy. There comes a point when your kit is full. you've found it all, and, well, At this point, I've got it all. It's sad really. I don't like going into a store and floundering, but whatever, for those of you that aren't gripping at desperate threads and really need new makeup, there's some really great promotions going on this week at Sephora.

#1 - Spend $50 and get a makeup bag filled with great samples.


#2 - VIBs Only! Go in stores this weekend and get 20% off your entire purchase and some great samples. On Thursday night from 4 - 9 PM bring a friend and you both get 20% off.



and last but not least the Sephora Weekly Specials (that's a link, click it. there's a big beauty sale!)!

NOW THE GOOD NEWS - I bought a bejeweled cat shirt at CUSP. I am obsessed with it. This shirt called to me from the rack and the rule was if i tried it on and it fit, it was meant to be. the fates aligned you guys:


A) this shirt is awesome. B) the line it comes from is awesome. It's a brand called "Torn by ronny kobo" and I'm really into the tops. It's a lot of more casual going out tops with cool embellishments and they're all really airy shapes. It's sold at Cusp, Intermix, ShopBop & Bloomingdale's.

So with that, I leave you. I need to finish my homework because 1) I am going to the grocery store & 2) Zac Efron is in DC tonight and I am going to find him and well... you know.

A Good Day on the Outnet

Even though they've turned the water off in my building AGAIN today (for maintenance. Please, i pay my bills), I've managed to find some solace in my favorite activity -- SHOPPING ONLINE SAMPLE SALES.

My favorite of all favorite sale sites - theOutnet.com (net-a-porter's outlet site) is having some great bargains today.

If you're a member, for the next 45 minutes you can participate with me in the Going,Going, Gone sale on this Jimmy Choo Clutch.

I want it and I will get it and I will pray it drops to below $1000. If I can score it for anywhere under $500, i know that I've got luck on my side.

In other news, there's a small sale on Marchesa dresses, and this dress that both Miley & Heidi Klum wore is about 75% off. It's fabulous and if there were a size that fit my boobs, you know that I'd be on it.


So, with that being said, I'll be on the outnet.com all day, while I try to pretend that I don't have to study for this Organizational Behaviour midterm.
