My Friends Look Out For Me


Remember this bag? The one for $295 that made my heart go pitter patter and I just had to have it?
Well, the weather got cold and my brain started looking for gloves instead of adorable spring totes.
But then this morning I got an email from my friend Elissa that the bag was on sale at Saks! And only for $117!! Less than half what I was going to pay for it originally. Too bad in the hour between when she sent the email and when I read it, the bag had sold out online. But this was a deal too good to pass up. So I called Saks.com and asked them to find it in a store. Turned out there was only one left in the entire country. Well, at least on sale at Saks anyway. The location? The Boston Saks. The same city where my friend Elissa lives. I took it as a sign and gave them a call. They had it! And, yup, only $117. So I immediately yelled "I'm buying it!" gave them my info and now this fun bag is on its way to me. It's no Chloe, but it's definitely cute and a total steal.

Can't wait for it to come! Maybe the weather will warm up so I can wear it?...... Or is that just wishful thinking?
