PRADA I HATE YOU AND I ALWAYS HAVE

These shoes suck. I hadn't noticed that the upper strap was made entirely of elastic or I wouldn't have ordered them. That GORGEOUS elastic strap isn't even disguised by patent leather, it's just there for the whole world to think that you're wearing a pair of $49.99 shoes. The audacity of Prada. See, I told you that I don't like Prada and their cheap ways (just their beachy flip-flops). Their cheap nylon bags are an insult to anyone with real style and their shoes look worse than a pair of Payless'. Prada you ruined my day yesterday with your sorry excuse for high end shoes. But I guess the joke was on me because I was lured into this purchase by the matching bag.

I'm SURE that these shoes will have an honorary place in the pile of rejects going to Last Call.

Not that I need to say this, but I returned those shoes (and bag).

Dresses that I've ordered today

All 3 dress TOTALED under $550.00. Yipeee!!!! Now let's see what they're like when I get them in my hands. Maybe the quality will be like crap, since they're so inexpensively priced . I think that I've mentioned this before, but I don't normally order dresses, (or much of anything lately) from Nordstrom because the quality of most of their merchandise, (excluding premier designers) has been very poor. Therefore, I'm not holding my breath for any of these dresses.

The Adrian Papell dress at $218.00 total for both the sweater and the dress just screams poor craftsmanship, but hey, I like to gamble so I've rolled the dice. As I've written about in previous posts, I find that you get what you pay for. Put two similarly styled shoes next to one another and I'll tell you which one is the cheap-o. Put two similarly styled pants next to one another and I'll do the same. I mean I don't even have to touch this stuff, I can spot it from across a room. To make a long story short, I could honestly care less if these pieces work out. I just purchased a few dresses from Neimans and from Saks the other day, that I love so basically I went to Nordstrom today because I've already purchased the latest arrivals from Neimans and Saks that I find appealing. And for now, there's nothing in those stores that I want.

Nordstrom is like the back-up boyfriend that you keep on the side when the one you really want cancels.

I'll take these too!

My birthday is right around the corner and I'd like to add these pups and matching bag to my list please. Thank you Daddy.

I love you Daddy.

Oh Neiman Marcus, and I take a size 38.5 in Prada.

A few words that you might like

I'm sorry that I've been neglectful of this blog, I don't mean to be, but with almost 6 weeks of constant travel, its been difficult for me to keep up with things. So, to begin my return I leave you with the following, I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed typing it for you.

1. Whatever women do they must do twice as well as a men to be thought of as half good, luckily this is not difficult.
2. Men are nervous of remarkable women.
3. The females of all species are most dangerous when they appear to retreat.
4. If men could get pregnant abortion would be a sacrament.
5. Never send a boy to do a man's job, send a woman.
6. That the child is the supreme aim of a woman is a statement having precisely the value of an advertising slogan.

I promise to post more about my shopping addiction later tonight, which of course I didn't neglect.

EXCESSIVE SHOPPING, EXCESSIVE GAMBLING AND EXCESSIVE EATING

Equal one heck of a good time!!! Seven days of a good time to be exact. We just returned yesterday on the red eye and we're counting the days until we go back! I did get to shop in between playing. I bought some double layer t-shirts at Chico's. Another bag and matching shoes at Gucci, (the dark silver bag and btw, if it weren't for the matching shoes I wouldn't have bought that bag). A few dresses at BCBG and three bags. A few things at Tommy Bahama. A few dresses from Michael Kors. A few sweaters from Tahari. Some cosmetics and such from the spa. A few shirts for hubby from Kenneth Cole. How much did I win you say? Let's just say, I'm only back to regroup and to find my, "ness" as my brother's girlfriend had strongly advised.

Note to Sister: I'm back. I've regrouped. I've found my, "ness" again as you say. I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but you can forget that idea of yours about us going into that pit of snakes without either of our big strong men accompanying us. You know they (your man/my brother) would never allow that.

Sigh.....

SURPRISE TRIP TO SIN CITY = SHOPPING & GAMBLING

So we left on Wednesday and didn't stop until early this morning. I'm up $2500 and even managed to sneak in some very quick shopping in between playing.

I purchased a new merino wool boat neck sweater from Tahari. A pair of low waist crop leg pants from Chico's and two shirts. A new brown purse from Gucci, (it's like a clutch but with a thin handle).

We may go back again this weekend.

Thanks for the memories Bellagio.

****FOR SALE**** DONNA KARAN NEW YORK BLACK SWEATER $25.00

Okay, I have FAR too much of everything, (I mean just look at my last post). I've suspected this for quite a long time now and it was confirmed on Tuesday when I wore this new black and gold glass beaded necklace from SFA but I had forgotten that I had also purchased the matching earrings, so I wore another pair of earrings that were, let's say, not a perfect match. Since these little memory lapses seem to be happening to me more and more lately, so much more that I've decided to do something about it. (I have dresses, and blazers and jewelry that have not yet seen the light of day this season - A great deal of these pieces still have price tags attached as does my first piece by Donna Karan that I am offering, for a RIDICULOUS BELOW CLEARANCE PRICE).

ESTEE LAUDER FREE GIFT, CHRISTIAN DIOR FREE GIFT, BOBBY BROWN FREE GIFT

Okay, so I got more than one free gift from Estee Lauder. Actually I got 5 free gifts from Estee Lauder (see above pic), since that's what I qualified for. From Dior I purchased 4 DiorShows and got 3 free pink Dior bags as one gift, (to get a gift with Dior just spend $100 or more). Yipee for me!!! I love free gift time!!!!! Oh, and I almost forgot I also got a free eyeshadow from Bobby Brown. Thank God that my brother drove and waited right outside the door for me, I have some slight bruising on the crook of my arm from carrying so many Neimans bags. Plus I'm getting sick of valeting.

And for some reason I can't get a pic of the 3 free Dior bags that I received. But let me just say this, they are soft, they are pink and they are fabulous!!! I'll see if I can post some pics tomorrow.

A-ROD DAY 2

This was yesterday at the A-Rod game. We went on Tuesday as well. We may go again tonight. Tonight would be part 3 for us. A-Rod please hit this ball tonight.

Despite A-Rod not delivering number 500 yesterday, we were treated to an unexpected surprise. First a few background notes. Jeter was supposed to have, an "off" yesterday as per Joe Torre's request for a 2-day rest period. Then all of a sudden in I forget what inning, you hear R. Kelly and Snoop Dogg's, THAT'S THAT SHIT. Just like that. No announcement, no nothing. And out comes New York's favorite shortstop and resident partier, Derek Jeter. The place went wild when everyone heard Jete's anthem and went even more wild with visual confirmation at the plate!!!! Here's how it went: Out comes Jeter with his little bad-ass strut magnified even more by Torre's special request to nix his day-off status and his very special surprise to the 52,000+ at the stadium who found out that he was back in the game by, "In the spot where the girls go wild. Dancing video style. I'm like That's that shit. Snoop Dizzle - hey Your boy Kells - boy Let me hear you say - That's that shit". I have a feeling that Bob Shepherd was told to sit this one out, and let R. Kelly and Snoop announce that Jeter was in the game, rather than the traditional, "And now hitting, the shortstop, number 2 Derek Jeter". Hey Derek, we LOOOOOOOOOOOVE your roll!!! But I digress.

A-Rod disappointedly and perhaps expectedly folded under yesterday's pressure to hit number 500. Bases loaded in the third inning. Following back to back homeruns. A- Rod had many perfect opportunities. Poor A-Rod just couldn't take the pressure. But please, come on A-Rod, I love you, but I'm getting a little sick of going to J.Lo's old stomping grounds almost everyday this week. Tuesday, Thursday and quite possibly tonight. That would make 3 days of going into the Bronx. Three days of dressing very unfashionista, unless you consider someone wearing an unbuttoned number 23 jersey, a tank top and shorts a fashionista. Since we're sitting in left field AGAIN and paying out the nose tonight AGAIN (probably), would you please hit this ball directly into my brother or my husband's hands so that:

a. we get paid

b. there is minimal injury to either brother and/or husband when a band of hungry Yankee fans descend upon their unmuscular bodies in an attempt to steal the $500,000, I mean the ball.

Oh, before I forget!

Kyle Farnsworth. You suck. Plain and simple. I could've thrown better pitches than you yesterday and I throw underhand like a typical girl.

WHY CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN, WHY?

I've already purchased at least 3 other boots that I can remember for the upcoming fall and winter season. With these puppies that makes at least 4. The worst part about it? I HATE ankle boots, I don't care if they are, "in" this season. Ankle boots remind me of some overweight woman dressed in polyester and pleather a-la JCPenney and donning a fake Gucci bag.

Oh God, I can hear the gum clicking already.

Bergdorf Goodman. Christian Louboutin. $970.00, NO FREE SHIPPING, (I think that ended on Saturday)
