Happy Official Birthday to SetSail and L2B
Is is today???
I worked so hard on your cakes as you can see...they are almost done...
Hey TN, is the cereal deal only for this week at Publix? Do I need to get RC tomorrow?
Happy Birthday l2bee and setsail!
But you're right, these designers are all "high-end." They aren't the same, because their long-term partnerships with T diluted the cachet of those labels. In my mind, Mossimo's not designer, it's $1 tank tops, you know? And the GO International stuff is always cute, but they're only big names to people who read Vogue. This is different because it's a pricey designer with history and it's very limited. I'd like to see more stuff that's normally a million lightyears out of my little coupon-clipping league.
shop clearance at the end of season sales at saks, bloomingdales, barneys warehouse sale, etc and even the designers stores themselves. i got a swimsuit for $15 at the calvin klein store on 5th ave that was originally around $100 about 3-4 yrs ago. it's a real calvin klein and not the licensed underwear, socks, jeans or whatever they sell at macys, tjmaxx, marshalls and costco. it was such a popular design they made a very similar version and sold it for $30 at costco this yr.
sample sales are also good places to get the real stuff and you may get lucky and get a one of kind piece for a steal. however, the sample sales the last few yrs have not been good the last few yrs along w/ the economy. the designers have gotten much more conservative and stuff is more cheaply made. so you have to look much harder for a bargain. most sample sales have also in reality become warehouse sales. still good prices but less unique.
one of the only brands i've never seen at an off-price store is tiffany's but there are plenty of knock-offs available, even at macys.
if you are ok w/ used or vintage, shop the thrift stores. sometimes they even have new stuff. there is going to be a tv show in oct about people finding designer fashion bargains at thrift stores.
go w/ either an empty suitcase or bring an old bunch of clothes to wear and replace them w/ new stuff and donate the old stuff to the salvation army. once in awhile there are slickdeals on hotels and airfare.
Happy Real Official Birthday to SetSail and L2B! hope you both have a good one!
bunnies, you are hilarious! makes my morning!
went to sleep very late and this wk the kids have started waking me up dribbling and shooting hoops while they wait for the bus. i think i need a cup of coffee! or else i will fall asleep at the preview for moneyball today. and even though the weather is fairly good sleeping weather, i think we are going to have to shut our windows at nite. or go to sleep earlier.

Its so easy when I head back over the border to WA state to play "spot the canadian" They're always dressed in mismatched designer that they happened to get at the premium outlet mall...
puma shoes
juicy sweats/lululemon sweats (although they prolly paid more for the lulu's)
nike jacket
coach purse
knock off prada/gucci/guess sunglasses.
my SO, the canadian says its rude to play, but its so fun!
Also have seen lots of Americans with Canadian flags on their backpacks(??!!) they stick out like a sore thumb.
Sorry, not really wanting to start a US/Canada 'thing' just thought it was funny that we played a similar game : )

& you could do the exact same thing in Los Angeles (one reason I am less excited by Missoni & more amused ).
Went to the West Hollywood Target last night (hipster central ). As expected, not a single Missoni item to be found.
Lots of sample size Cascade (both types) on shelf --- & the reason why -- I got shot down for trying to buy ONE with ONE MQ. Price point is 1.12 for one kind 1.29 (or 1.27?) for the other.
On Topic, for anyone needing a new coupon binder or wants a backup --
Mead 3 inch binder + carry handle and strap (zipper binder)
DCPI 081 13 0331
clearanced orig 20.00 now 14.00 (30% off)
The Case-Its were also 30% but I couldn't find one with a single set of 3 rings (only doubles) that was 3 inch.
Also the Mead 1 1/2 inch zipper binders were 30%

and to stay on *target*, i will say that i'm impressed w/ the quality of target's fieldcrest bedding. i have a set of frette sheets from sample sale that were 4-6 times more expensive at bloomingdales, i've had ralph lauren sheets and they have not held up nearly as well as my fieldcrest duvet cover. it definitely doesn't look luxury/designer but that doesn't always mean quality.
PM me here or on Facebook [facebook.com], I'll have one of those open and will send you links to print.
Let me know if you can use $10 Keurig MQ. Don't know if you are planning on buying a new brewer anytime soon.

Dont get me wrong...I completely understand both sides...but its hillarious to me either way.
I am one of the most laid back ppl i know, but you wont catch me dead out and about in my pj's...anywhere, canada OR usa.
Now sweats to the grocery store for last minute pick ups....maybe. But not ratty grey sweats, they're usually american eagle aerie sweats or lulu's....and reallly, its only when its laundry day.
