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.

FREE GIFTS FREE GIFTS! I LOVE FREE GIFTS! FREE GIFTS FREE GIFTS! I LOVE FREE GIFTS!

HERE WE GO AGAIN...

Hurry girls, because this Neiman's offer is only valid for 3 days! God, please don't let me find anything.

I'M BAAAAAAAAAACK!

Hello my pretties! I'm back from my mini-vaca and look what I find on my kitchen counter. What an obscene amount of catalogs I've received in such a short period of time. Just look at how many Neimans catalogs/mailings have arrived. I never actually realized how much mail I get from Neimans.

Sad, just sad.

NEIMANS DELIVERY AT MY DOOR

Thank God! I returned home yesterday from a day of bonding with my AMEX to find this rather large delight on my doorstep. Let me tell you that my kooba is here and it is fabulous! My dresses all fit and my jewelry despite one piece that I didn't care for, are all, "keepers" to quote my friend Carol. Fashionplusjewelry is off on a mini-getaway for a few days but when I return early next week I will have a very very special treat for all of my Fashion Plus Jewelry fashionistas, so stay tuned you don't want to miss out!

NEIMAN'S DELIVERY, WHERE ARE YOU?

And please get here before we leave on Wednesday morning. I need the beautiful kooba that I ordered, the two pieces of David Yurman, and whatever else I found while I was on the phone with your operator. From past experience I can say, that I'm not holding my breath that this package will be on my doorstep by the time we depart on Wednesday. Oh, I just remembered, I again ordered some more dresses last Tuesday in addition to the above. I just couldn't help myself. Actually, Neiman's should give that operator who was assisting me a raise because thanks to her patience I shopped more. Now I'm really getting anxious. I need that delivery!!! I want to take my goodies with me on my little extended weekend!!! Grrrrrrr Neiman's, why does it take you about a week just to get things shipped out of your warehouse? A day or two isn't enough time to package my order and send it on its merry way? Give me a break.

Yesterday's shopping went well. I purchased two pairs of sunglasses, a watch, some Argento Vivo and a few Givenchy pieces for some upcoming engagements that we have on the horizon. Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly considering all of the sales, I didn't purchase any clothing, it seems like everyone has just devoured all of the pretty pieces.

Oh, well today is another day, and to borrow a phrase from the NY or NJ lottery, you gotta be in it to win it. So off I am to shower and shop, err work. I meant to say work.

PLAYING WITH FIRE

Never say that you're, "just going to look" in regards to shopping. That's what I did when I had a few moments to spare and lo and behold, I ordered some more dresses. What do you think?

Pretty, no? Actually, I ordered 3 dresses but I can't seem to find the third's picture.

Let the wait begin.

TELL ME THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A MATERNITY DRESS

With a pending international trip on the horizon, to an EXTREMELY fashionable local where even more EXTREMELY fashionable women reside, finding perfect dresses that are versatile, elegant and flattering is imperative.

Take a look at this dress, it was featured on the front page of NM's dress page. What???? The world's leading fashion headquarters for the discerning fashionista implies that this is their best dress right now, by making it a leading feature? What is wrong with you? I want a few questions answered. Who selected this piece to be featured on the front page of your dress section? Who approved this person's selection? Because there always is someone above you, no matter who you are. And yes, while some like this pregnancy-look, guess what? Do you know what the majority of women think when they see this dress on your site? Everyone together now: They carry maternity in their dress department?

Come now Neimans Sweetheart, we expect more from you.

FYI - Not even pregnant women like these dresses. Haven't you seen all of the pregnant bellies sporting cropped sleeveless blouses?
