Sales! Sales! Sales! Sales!

                                              CHRISTMAS AT DOLLAR TREE!

Hello!

Black Friday sales! Small Business Saturday sales! Cyber Monday sales! After Christmas sales! Where does it all begin? Where does it all end? Amazon Black Friday sales began last Wednesday. Walmart Cyber Week sales begin day after tomorrow. Confused? I'm not, yet. But if this keeps up...

I moonlighted at an exclusive women's fashion store weekends during the 90's for all but ten years running. Enjoyable as it was, I am not a huge fan of running around on Black Fridays. No need to, really. "The deals" ; be what they may, are often available leading up to and following Thanksgiving. Besides, "The deals"  just get better on Cyber Monday if not during December! Aaaaah; silky, silky! I wouldn't be too hasty in spending my hard earned dollars come Friday, if I were you. I'm just saying...

Holiday windows are uuuuup! Funny thing, though. Some look; rather interesting, shall we say. You be the judge...

Saks Fifth Avenue,  Macy's,  Bergdorf Goodman,  Barneys...

I thought I had a Nordstrom's to post; but, I just can't seem to put my fingers on it. It's probably because I'm dreaming of turkey, dressing, cranberry something or another and sweets! [I'm mom's helper and, and clean up crew! No need to mess up a good thing!] Do forgive...

A downtown Manhattan Coach store has opened on Fifth Avenue! That I would like to see! I have one. I wouldn't mind having another...

Bodysuits are It, in my book! The bodysuit makes everything fit so much more smoothly! That said, monitor your intake before donning! You do not want to have to make a bee dive to the powder room...

Give; and let give, to the Rita S. Wilson Memorial Scholarship! Oh, wonderful you!

As of today, there are 33 more days left until:  Christmas, Sunday, December 25, 2016!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve ; Happy Thanksgiving!

Shalom!

The best Black Friday shopping is where?

Hello!

Not all cities are created equal, when it comes to shopping! No worries, we've got you covered. Get ready, set, go:  to the best Black Friday shopping, in every state! Wow!  

It is not at all unusual to find Black Friday sales the week before, the week of, and the week after Thanksgiving Day. Grab your cellphone, notepad or laptop, and see what you can see - today! You may as well know it. Harper's Bazaar has a list of stores you might want to consider going to. Excited, yet? I thought so!  

Kenneth Cole is expected to shut down almost all; if not, all of its stores. Macy's is expected to begin to close up to 100 stores, before year's end...

What can I say; other than, plan accordingly!

Some of the best commercials come out during the holiday season. I have run across Home for Christmas, Greatest Gift, and Coming Home for Christmas already. If these don't get you in the mood for the holidays, I do not know what will...

Give; and let give, to the Rita S. Wilson Memorial Scholarship! Oh, wonderful you!

As of today, there are 38 more days left until:  Christmas, Sunday, December 25, 2016!

Happy Friday ; Happy Weekend!

Shalom!

The phenomenon of Singles' Day!

Hello!

Move over Black Friday! Move over Cyber Monday! A new kid is on the block! It is Singles' Day!

The online shopping event which originated in China, has reportedly eclipsed all previous online sales records here, there and everywhere!

The USA is beginning to get in on the new Singles' Day action! Why I received a Singles' Day sales blurb from J.Renee', just moments ago!

"Why China, and why now?" you might ask.Your guess is as good as mine! "Enjoy the ride," I say!

Tights weather is here! I discovered long ago that T.J.Maxx  is a good place to get hosiery and tights.  I like tights the color of my skin, with the occasional pair of black fishnets thrown in for good measure. Patterned tights are making a splash this fall. You may want to pick up a pair or two, just for the fun of it...

I'm dreaming of turkey, dressing and all of the desserts that I can get! Sooooo me!

O.K., I'm outta here!

As of today, there are 45 more days left until:  Christmas, Sunday, December 25, 2016!

Happy Veteran's Day ; Happy Weekend!

Shalom!

I'm having Christmas catalog fever!

Hello!

The Christmas Books, AKA, Christmas catalogs for 2016 are out! Well; some of them, anyways! One of the joys of the holiday season is purviewing the catalogs! It is almost as good as window shopping! Fun, fun, fun!

The first one to come across the desk was the Neiman Marcus The Christmas Book 2016, at 300 pages. It has almost as many pages as the Bloomingdale's and the Nordstrom catalogs put together! Oh; well, and any how...

The faux fur vests and coats (on page 27) for little girls are adorable. The Vintage Electric Bikes (on page 37) are; well, cool! The TCHAL black jumpsuit (on page 81) is absolutely stunning; that is, with or without a blouse! It must be those small pleats...

The 2016 Fantasy Gifts (on pages 118-139) always cause one to flip through to all of the pages as fast as you can go! You never know what you will find, but you do know this! You will be surprised!

I'm tickled about the Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness Pie (on page 120). What's not to like? It's just more good eats, if you ask me!

At the Love to Give Collection (on pages 140-153), the Ultimate Lip Collection by Yves Saint Laurent (on page 142) must be the quintessential "Pretty in pink!"

At Fun to Give (on pages 154-169), the humongous polar bears would look quite nice in a pre-approved corner somewhere! Thank you, very much!

There is Cool Factor (on pages 170-185), The Creative Process (on pages 186-217),  and Beauty (on pages 218-249)...

The Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer (on page 225) goes for a whopping $399! It must be some dryer!

There is Coming Home (on pages 250-261), also...

There is At House Rules (on pages 262-273), too. The Misook Black Jacket (on page 266) reminds me of a black Marisa Christina sweater with a bursting star pattern made of clear crystal beads that I once had. Both; stunning, again!

There is Countdown (on pages 274-285), as well. It is exactly what it suggests! Last minute this, last minute that...

Aaaaah, that was pretty nice! Next!            

The second one to come across the desk was the Bloomingdale's Glow What Fun! Holiday 2016, at 142 pages. It begins with an array of shoes, handbags, clothing, perfume, jewelry, etc. (on pages 4-105)...

Most fetching is the Master Class in Cool (on pages 80-91) section. It's all groovy guy stuff!

There are a few more categories to see, but I'm going to jump right over to Present Perfection (on pages 112-139). It has more than 200 gifts for mom, dad, squad, bro, one true love, bae, in-laws and little ones! Did we miss anyone? Hardly! You won't either!

Good enough! Next!

The third one to come across the desk was the Nordstrom November 2016, at 150 pages. The pleated skirts really pop! I love me some small pleated skirts:  above the knee, right below the knee, at the ankle. You get the idea. Call it being timeless and feminine, all at the same time...

Alrighty, now! Next!

Although not a catalog, it would be remiss of me to not mention Oprah's Favorite Things 2016. I've posted a few things from the list to my Pinterest pages, already. Although the Poinsettia Flower Pot Cake all but "takes the cake," I have designs on the Cypress Grove Holiday Cheese "Cake" myself! Why does it almost always come down to food for me? I reckon it's because I've got good taste buds! Hah!

Believe it or not, I am all but plum wore out from flipping through all of these catalogs! But; oh, what a natural high!

Give, and let give, to the Rita S. Wilson Memorial Scholarship! Oh, wonderful you!

As of today, there are 52 more days left until:  Christmas, Sunday, December 25, 2016!

Happy Friday ; Happy Weekend!

Shalom!
