Happy New Year everyone! I haven't posted in the blog for a long time. Christmas was quiet and relaxing - it could not have been more perfect. Believe it or not, I did not buy much. Here are the things I bought since Boxing Day.
I got this trench coat at FCUK while shopping with Mumu. She was the one who discovered this coat and my first reaction was "Hello.......". Why, you ask. It was only $60.
Nothing else was purchased that day. However, I did return the Chloe clutch I got at Holt's F&F day for under $500. The regular retail price was $575+tax.
On Boxing Day, I woke Tony up early and we headed to Yorkdale. I picked up a pair of boots from Aldo I had been eyeing all season. The regular retail price was $200 and I got it for $105.
Later that week, I was surfing the Purse Blog and saw a thread for a sale at Net a Porter. I searched that thread and discovered that NAP was selling the steel Chloe clutch for $212USD. I bought that bag in the blink of an eye. I had it sent to my grandma's house in the US and had my mom bring it back since she was there visiting anyway. I love you, paddy clutch!
That concluded the Boxing Week shopping. I didn't buy anything else since I knew that the real markdowns would take place after the New Year. And so, last Friday I went to the mall with JP. Within one hour, I picked up a pair of skinny jeans at H&M for $50. They're just as soft and tight as the JBrand ones, but only 22% of the JBrand price. YAY!
Next, came Zara. Typically their sales are not so enticing and the mess you have to dig through just isn't worth the time. I am, however, a firm believer in shopping karma and so I just went in to do a quick browse and discovered these cream-coloured sling-back flats that would be perfect for summer. They reminded me of the ones Balenciaga sent down the runway. They were $20 and the only pair left in my size. It was meant to be....
I had originally purchased a royal blue cocktail dress from Club Monaco for $69. But after some thought and persuasion from Mumu, I decided that I should return it. I also decided that I should go on a cocktail dress ban for the next four seasons. That's right people, I'm not allowed to buy another cocktail dress until Spring 2009. We'll see how long that lasts....
