i WANT this...

greetings!

i rec'd an email from elizabeth mckay that they are having a winter SALE up to 70% off select items! i came across this stunning whitney cotton coat in NAVY BLUE!

OMG, i am SO tempted to buy this beauty! not sure if it's the color that i am attracted to or the ruffles on the coat? oh, maybe it's b/c it would look fabulous with my new GUCCI vintage web hobo.
as much as i want the jacket...do i really need it, that is the question?!?!! ha! ha! unfortunately, the answer is NO! drats!

oh well, it is a beauty and if you are one of the fortunate ladies to own this coat....i am SOOOOOOO jealous!

well, hope you are having a fabulous day! i ran a bunch of errands, got my car wash and went shopping -- of course! unfortunately i couldn't find a car wash that was open so i had to resort to washing it myself, UGH! it was freezing cold but i needed to get the sold off my SUV.

while out, i bought the cutiest ralph lauren oxford and vest for my nephew who is turing "1" next week. ...so cute! best of all, would you believe each piece was on sale for $17.99, less 50%! such a steal, out the door for $19.05! YEAH!!! best of all, they don't have to know i paid less than $20.00 for his present, LOL!!

i also had to return a pair of riding loafers i bought a off5th avenue outlet while on vacation in florida. not sure why i didn't bring the shoes with my last week when i bought two other pairs, not the smartest cat sometimes, LOL!!! anyway, i returned the shoes and bought a MASON PEARSON look-alike! yup, i sure did!

the pocket brush i bought is from creative classic, must be a brand normally sold at saks5th ave. i bought it for $17.99, pretty good deal considering i still can't find my pocket sized MASON PEARSON brush that's been missing for forever! as you can tell from the photo above, i am still holding on to the box, ha! ha!

i have to tell you it looks, feels and brushes like my MASON PEARSON brush! just a hell of a lot cheaper, LOL! ha! ha!

below is a close up of the two brands:

oh, speaking of the elizabeth mckay whitney ruffle coat from the first photo i also picked up this adorable navy blue ruffled sweatshirt over at the brooks brothers outlet. normally retails for $68.00, less 60% made for a pretty cool deal too! it's so cute, the photo above doesn't do it justice...sorry!

i also bought some other stuff at talbot's but don't feel like boring you with all my purchases, lol!

oh well, sounds sick but i am pretty excited to get back to work tomorrow! lucky for me, i only have a 31/2 day work week! heading back to my college this weekend, pledging starts and a bunch of my sorority sisters are heading back! it's going to be so much fun, can't wait!

later, i'm off to read the latest copy of the The Food Network magazine. i picked it up at costco. remember, you can save something like 30% off the list price or something like that anyway! check it out!!
