Sale season is here!

It's that time again, it only happens twice a year and I am usually so excited! However I am still trying to accomplish my 3 Month Challenge and I will be going to Vegas in 3 weeks! So I will shop vicariously through all of you.

FYI...
Nordstrom Pre-sale is happening now! 40% off designer clothing, handbags and shoes RUN, don't walk!
Barneys Pre-Sale starts Tuesday the 25th, 40% off!
Saks Pre-Sale starts Wednesday the 26th, 30% off!
Neiman's is being super tight lipped about the official start date of Pre-Sale (which will be 30% off). It is either the 26th or the 27th.

Happy Sale hunting!

A Little bit of Lace & Leather

My flats are usually reserved for work, but these beauties were just too special to pass up. I had originally seen them in Elle magazine in February and made a mental note to keep an eye out for them. Then when I went to NYC earlier this month, I stepped off the elevator at Bergdorf's and they were literally the first thing that caught my eye. The Christian Louboutin "Air Loub" Lace flats literally feel like you are walking on air. I LOVE them, so pretty and chic. I can dress them up or down which is the best part, but these beauties will never be worn to work. They deserve to be out in the beautiful sunlight, not hidden under a desk for 8 hours.





This Leifsdottir studded leather mini was a great sale find at Neiman's. I have been wanting a leather skirt since fall, but none of them seemed quite right...until now. The leather feels like butter and is not too short or too long. It will be debuted this weekend when we go out for hubby's birthday, outfit post will follow.

Hope this is the start of a great week!

Friday Lust List...Some Missions Completed

Yay it's Friday! More importantly Spring is here and the weather in SoCal is awesome right now. This is why we live here. I was lucky enough to mark some items off my lust list in the past few months. Some items were replaced by others....

Anthropologie dress, last seen here.

Perfect Spring wardrobe addition just in time for wedding season.

Rebecca Taylor top last seen here. So happy I got this top when Bloomies was having their HOT promotion, so I got $50 off! They were out of the pretty blue, but I realized I have a lot of blue and "oatmeal" turned out to be a pale blush pink, which is so pretty. Yay for me!


And a FAB sale find at Neiman's
I originally wanted this dress, but it was just not for me. Then when I saw the Erosa Dress in Miranda Ruffles Mini ON SALE it was the perfect replacement. Love it!


That's all for now, modeling pics of these gorgeous pieces will be coming soon. Happy Friday!

Friday Lust List...I Love you, but only on sale

I love both of these, but I really would never pay full price for them.



These Miu Miu jeweled flats are beautiful, but the price tag of $585, is not. At least, not for flats in my opinion. I will keep an eye on these and wait for sale time. If they are 40-50% off I will grab them.

By now, you can all tell how much I love DVF. This dress would be perfect for Wedding season, but I don't necessarily need it.

The Josun strapless mini dress is approximately $950 and just so not in my DVF budget. I know I spend ridiculous amounts of money on my shoes, but I take more chances with finding clothing on sale then I do with shoes that I absolutely am in love with. I will patiently wait and who knows, maybe the fashion Gods will decide this dress needs to join my DVF family.

Happy Friday! It's raining in SoCal again, but don't panic! Drive safely and we will see sunshine again shortly!

The One that Got Away..but then Returned!

A few weeks ago, I posted about all my great fall sales' haul. After having some time to swoon over all my newly acquired treasures, the guilt started to kick in and I decided to return the Christian Louboutin Nitoinimoi booties back to Barneys. Even at 40% off, I still couldn't justify keeping them. Well.....after having a weekend to think about it, I started to regret returning them. The regret became this ridiculously loud voice in my head when Barney's marked their designer shoes down with an additional 33% off on December 22nd! I immediately called Barney's in Beverly Hills, asking if they still had the ones I returned less then a week ago. I was told someone would call me back, but the whole day passed and no phone call. In the mean time, I called every Barneys in the country and was told repeatedly that they are completely sold out of these boots. The morning of the 23rd, I decided to give Barneys in BH another try. A sales associate answered the phone, I gave her a brief run down of the situation, she put me on hold for a few minutes, but came back on the line to tell me she had my boots!!!! My happiness was short-lived, because this woman went on to tell me that they aren't on sale, they are full price. I politely explained to her that I had bought them during first cut and that they are definitely on sale at every Barneys department store in the United States. She told me I "got lucky" getting them on sale the first time, but she could not sell them to me for the sale price. I swear I think I went temporarily insane or I was in shock because I didn't continue to argue; I just hung up. After about 25 minutes I came back to reality and decided to call back. I figured if she answered, I'd ask for a manager, but if someone else answered, I'd try again. After a few rings, I heard a kind male voice on the other end and I knew there was hope. I politely rehashed the entire saga to him and after being placed on hold for what seemed like eternity, he returned....with my shoes for almost 65%off!!!!! I was not about to lose these babies again, so I paid over the phone and raced over the hill to BH after work to pick them up. I swear I couldn't believe I had them back until I was actually holding them. This was definitely a great Christmas gift for myself! Whoever said "Never mess with a woman's shoes" definitely knew what they were talking about...
Here are my gorgeous Loubies, back on my feet where they belong....

Out on the job- Sale hunting!

Every year at this time the crème de la crème of professional shoppers are out and about scouring the department stores and designer boutiques trying to find the best for the least. That’s right, it’s fall designer sales time. While we are just barely getting our first glimpse of winter here in SoCal, designers are already geared up for resort, cruise and spring collections. Good news for us! With marked downs up to 40% off (higher mark downs as we roll into the end of December and January) who can resist a few new pairs of shoes? I sure can’t. Take a look at what I scored this sale season from Barneys, Bluefly and Nordies. I have realized that while I do not have an addiction to cigarettes, alcohol or sex....I definitely have an addiction to Christian Louboutin shoes. Enjoy the photos, I like to refer to them as shoe porn; once you start there's no stopping you. Look slowly because the self inflicted shoe ban is in full affect as of last week.
