re: louboutin and fancy sunglasses - i'm a bargain shopper. i get my kicks finding nice things for cheap and while that is acceptable when it comes to clothing, there is something about gorgeous (expensive) shoes and sunglasses that cannot be recreated in any knock off or look alike. i nearly cried when i had to put a pair of dior glasses back during my spin through duty free last year. couldn't justify spending $300 before my plane even left the ground for vacation. sadness. despair. someday!

isn't it painful?? :(
I mean - there is just no duplicating those RED SOLES on the Louboutins. Every time i see Lindsay Lohan sporting a pair, I want to strangle her right on the spot!!!
The upside is, someday I will be an attorney with no children. Some sweet day, indeed ;)

saks credit card...oh! it's love.

i've only been there once (love the website, hate the snotty sales people) with my friend in college. she was buying makeup. i felt really...poor. i'd like to go back, now that i'm less poor. i don't think i'd buy anything, but i'd like to look. and touch. and try on.

see, now that we are older the salespeople have been trained that ANYONE can be a shopper (i think the grunge era sealed the deal) and they suitably KISS ASS.
And samples - oh my god the only place that samples you better is Nordstroms, and i don't have one in New Orleans. MAN does saks sample you!!! I have 3 bond no.9 samples, about 6 kiehls skincare thingers, 2 clarins and some MAC. God bless them - sample me and i will shop you - they KNOW the secret ;)
