my new fendi shoes
Wednesday, December 4
It was by accident that I ended up in the shoe department at Bloomingdale's over the weekend. My intention was to holiday shop for others but a restroom trip diverted me to the second floor, where I came face to face with the above Fendi shoe--the one I have been pining for all season long and was now on sale. Yes, they had my size! I tried them on, walked around, and when I made it back to my seat, three other women around me asked for a pair in their size. Turns out, we all bought this shoe. I would have shared this succes story sooner had Bloomingdales had them in stock online, but it did not. But don't fret: Neiman Marcus is now offering them on sale at 33% off--and there are still lots of sizes left--along with loads of other temptations, such as these Gucci evening sandals (33% off) and this Helmut Lang moto jacket (40% off). P.S. Bergdorf Goodman is also having a crazy good sale. Highlights include this Chloe tweed skirt (40% off), this Proenza Schouler dress (33% off) and this Elizabeth and James silk blouse (40% off).

mix and match earrings
Tuesday, December 3
I've been wearing non-matching earrings lately--the effect is a part playful, part unpredictable. The only caveat is they have to look a little bit similar, otherwise you veer into fashion mishap territory. I usually mix earrings that have like metals or stones. That's why these Freida & Nellie sets work. I'm leaning toward the black and gold pair, myself.

home alone
Sunday, December 1
My husband took the kids on a surfing expedition today, so I am home alone... shopping! Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there are so many amazing sales. Enough to make your head spin! So, I thought I'd share what I've turned up at Nordstrom's 40%-off sale, which started today and ends tomorrow: the Saint Laurent bootie perfection, above, along with these forever-chic Valentino pumps, this cute Carven jacket, this head-turning Alexander Wang top, and these Current/Elliott coated jeans. Over at Barneys, I came across this cult status Alexander Wang duffel bag, these Manolo Blahnik (Anna Wintour would approve) ankle-strap sandals, these Rag & Bone tuxedo pants, and these Loeffler Randall buckle-trimmed ankle boots. More to come, so stay tuned.

heavy baggage
Wednesday, November 27
It's that big bag time of year, when I find myself lugging more (an extra sweater, a scarf, my family's plane tickets, or even a hostess gift!) around, and a chic roomy tote is in order. Miranda Kerr, above, jets around with a Saint Laurent satchel, which I miraculously found at Nordstrom at 40% off. Other fantastic on-sale options include this Phillip Lim, this Fendi, this Marc Jacobs, this Michael Kors and this Sophie Hulme. Less expensive totes include this chain-link-handled Club Monaco and this structured Topshop satchel. (The amazing zippered-trimmed bag in the last pic is by Celine. Of course.)
