Today I got a surprise in the mail from Barney's! All gift wrapped up and everything. My burgundy turban CL flats. They are fabulous and such a steal! (Sorry for the tiny pic but I couldn't find anything larger and am too lazy to take photos of my own).
I'm going to an estate sale on Saturday. It's apparently a million dollar home, I could care less about that, but the seller has an Hermes Etoupe Lindy for sale. I am not really a fan of Rachel Zoe but the only way to describe my love for this bag, in this shade is... I DIE, BANANAS! No prices were mentioned but it's worth checking out and plus there's a bunch of other vintage bags, clothes and shoes.
On another note. I visited Nordstrom Rack tonight and they had a brown patent Mulberry Bayswater for $550 down from like $1300! I didn't get it but I definitely considered it. Mulberry is so underrated!!
Being that I've worked in retail for so long I firmly believe that a good SA makes a BIG difference. I really hate going into a store where SA's ignore you if you don't appear as though you are going to buy anything (i.e. not dressed up, young, etc) or just act like they are above the idea of helping you all together. Fortunately I've had mostly good experiences in the boutiques I've shopped at and made good relationships all over. Oddly enough I feel like all the bad SA's are found in the main NYC boutiques with the exception of the SoHo Chanel but that isn't the main store so my theory still somewhat rings true. I visited my SA Jamie at the LV KOP boutique the other day and while I did not buy anything she was so helpful and she even noticed that I had gotten my haircut, this positive experience compelled me to write about it. (I'm thinking about purchasing the Stephen Sprouse Leopard stole)
