I kept it for six weeks....thinking about buying my own copy. I loved it!!

Your secret is safe with me!

I'm going to check the price on the Lilly book at Overstock.com -- you know, the big O. I love the green and pink combo. It would be adorable for a little girl's room. Unfortunately, I don't think my husband would appreciate me redecorating our boudoir in the color scheme. But I am thinking that my new LP sneaker mules are going to look great with my new green coach bag.

Okay I only have $276 to work with today (my husband was dying over this thread last night....thought it was hilarious that I was the first to work on credit!):

Diane Von Furstenberg Empire Waisted Dress $275
I'll work on the shoes again tomorrow....I just saw this dress while "shopping" yesterday and had to have it!

I think I'm going for Luggage today! I'll spend my extra $$ on Starbucks!

I like this one alot

These might be a little "old skool", but I always wanted a pair of Ferragamos. I worked at a swanky shoe store in SF in the '80s and sold Ferragamos to the swanky "ladies that lunch" and the "urban professionals".

I think I could build a few swanky outfits around these, starting with the shoes. These would also be marvelous for a martini lunch!

Salvatore Ferragamo - Deco Skimmer $290.00

I'll put my change torwards some fresh cut flowers.

Tina....quit linking me to purses....I spend all my time on Coach and Dooney anymore!!!

Gayle--I love Ferragamos! My nine year old wears a women's size five, so it's always fun to take her to shoe sales, so she can try on deeply discounted Ferragamos (We're talking $50!). I live through her feet. I'm afraid to try them on. If I do, I'll have to purchase. And they're NOT $50.

Does your Nordstom carry Ferragamos? If so, do you find them at your Nordstrom outlet too? They don't seem to carry them online anymore. I need to start checking the "real life" sales, I wear a size 6. I do practically all my shopping online these days. I did not step ino a mall over the holidays.

Absolutely! That's actually what I was referring to....Nordstrom Rack! She gets to try on Kate Spade pumps and Ferragamo slides and Donald Pliner wedges! I'm probably damaging her.....she'll end up a Carrie Bradshaw, but it's so much fun! She did get a pair of DP flat slides in the fall....hope she still fits in them by the spring....they're really cute!

I would like to point out that I was posting cashmere(and a gorgeous Pucci scarf)for TWO whole days!!

YOu know this thread is getting out of hand when you start saving items to wish lists all over the place so that you have tomorrow's $300 item picked out already!
