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.

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic.  Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time.  All is good and the Creator is in charge.  I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size.  I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature.  I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag.  There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone.  This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months.  The leather reminds me of the Prada S...

I Am Back

Blessings To Everyone, It has been two months since I last blogged.  I have been extremely busy with work.  I was working on a dress for success event with both my employers that includes Ann Taylor.  We created an initiative to teach graduates how to dress for interviews and what to wear for work.  At my primary job, we have to create initiatives along with my current job duties. The event was a success. One of the student models was offered a job at the new Loft flagship in Chicago. I also have been contemplating which way I would like this blog to go.  The blog started out as a self help for me and to inspire others as well. I want to focus on inspiring others. In the past two months I have been out of town to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.  Going to New York was one of the things I wanted to do before I leave this world.  I would say that it is part of my bucket list.  I enjoyed myself.  You know I love all thing...

Happy 4th of July

H A P P Y  4 T H  O F  J U L Y  ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I would like to take this opportunity to say Happy 4th of July to all.  I am taking it easy today.  My hubby barbecued some jerk chicken breast that have been marinating over night, some beef hot dogs, some lamb burgers, hamburgers, jerk shrimp, and some chicken quarters.  I did a healthy alternative to my famous macaroni and cheese ( wheat rotini noodles).  We are keeping it light.  My sister is coming over and we are just going to watch some movies and relax.  As an ode to the 4th of July, here are some items that I recommend not only for today, but for all time. Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
