Pre-Sales... After Thanksgiving

Blessings To Everyone,

I hope all is well.  I am re-cooping from cooking Thanksgiving dinner and working a full eight hours at Ann Taylor on Black Friday.  It wasn't too crazy; however, the store became really busy within the last hour of my shift.  It takes a patient person to work retail when you have 6 different questions coming from 6 different women at the same time.  However, I welcome the challenge because it tests my limits.  Anyways, I am sitting here typing and stretching out my new Christian Louboutin Geo Pumps (http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=502682721).  As I mentioned in earlier posts, I have the most difficult time with shoes especially Christian Louboutin.  Every pair of Louboutins that I bought, I had to send them back to the store.  I like the Geo pump because of the low kitten heel.  These shoes are more realistic for me to wear than the sexy skyscraper shoes Christian is known for.

Has anyone taken advantage of the pre-sales that are going on now?  I didn't take part in any Black Friday sales because what I like normally doesn't go on sale.  However, I was able to snag some Acne boots called the Ponyhair Clover in gray (http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=502732245&cgid=BARNEYS&index=17).  I have the black ones already and unfortunately I had to buy them full price (http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=502732197&cgid=women&index=13).  These are the most comfortable, fashion forward boots that I have.  I also snagged some sandals by Alexa Wagner( http://www.barneyswarehouse.com/alexa-wagner-vernea-z-502621005.html?index=5&q=ALEXA%20WAGNER).  I am going to try and wear sandals in the winter time with my leather pants; laughing out loud.

I was also lucky enough to grab my daughter some clothes from Ann Taylor. The clothes were like a $1.98 an item.  I was able to get her 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of pants, a sweater vest, and 4 tops for like $14.00.  I would say this is one of the perks I like about working at Ann Taylor.

I was also able to get a price adjustment on the Saint Laurent tote I purchased about three weeks ago at Barneys.  I needed a black workhorse bag that can carry all of my things.  It can be seen here at http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=00505022928474&cgid=BARNEYS&index=0.

On a solemn note, I was reading articles about the actor Paul Walker.  He passed away yesterday in an automobile accident.  One of the things that stood out about the actor was, he was a movie star that didn't act like a movie star.  He was a very genuine person stated by everyone that knew him .  I was thinking wow,  what a great legacy to have. Paul died doing what he loved; racing cars and helping people.  Many Blessings to his family and all of you in the blogosphere.

Transition from summer to fall in style.... Ann Taylor Friends and Family

Good Evening All, I have been busy, busy, busy.  Trying to get acclimated to my new routine.  I went to my job today to get my carrot juice I left over the weekend and I left with the task of passing out Friends and Family fliers to people that I know.  Ann Taylor is having their Friends and Family sale beginning on August 2, 2012 through August 5, 2012.  This is the perfect time to save 30% off of your entire purchase.  Ladies, this is the time to stock up on your tropical wool suiting.  Down below I am wearing one of the skirts from the Fall collection. Don't mind the blurred picture.  I still don't know how to operate a camera properly.  I love the nautical themed skirt.  If you are an Ann Taylor card member, you can enjoy a special preview shopping day Wednesday, August 1st.  Also, I am including a promo code to be used online, FRIENDS1 at checkout. Striped Flounce Skirt found at www.anntaylor.com Many, Many, Many, Bl...

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life. I am signing off with this open ended question; should you leave things to the  imagination?  Ponder on that question; will you. Until next time, many, many, many, blessings!

Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue

Good Morning All, I have been enjoying this nice Chicago weather we have.  It has been around 70-80 degrees for almost two weeks now.  It is kind of creepy.  I went to Culver's yesterday to get one of my favorite treats, a three scoop lemon Ice and while in the drive through I see a big bumblebee.  Spring is definitely in the air.  I am waiting for the ball to drop.  Will we be getting 6 inches of snow in May?  Anyways, I got a new bag.  Well, I exchanged a bag that I had bought about two months ago for this bag.  It is the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue.  I had purchased this bag in white/tan for the spring and had a change of heart.  I like white bags; however, they don't wear well.  Eventually they will get some kind of color transfer from denim or they will yellow overtime. I have a Chloe and Marc Jacobs bag that did that.  Well, the bag in my opinion is not royal blue in person.  It is ...
