Something pretty amazing happened to me last weekend.  Eric wanted to stop inside of Bloomingdale’s to check out a shirt on our way to brunch, and I decided to peruse the handbag section while I waited for him.  Well, as I was ever-so-innocently browsing the Chloe boutique, the sales associate whispered to me conspiratorially, “You know… I think some of the bags in this section are drastically mismarked, but I’d have to sell it to at that price if you find one.”

Although I wasn’t completely convinced that her definition of “drastic” was necessarily the same as mine (especially in matters of sales discounts), I decided to kill some time by bringing a few bags up to the register for her to check.  The first one rang in at $1800, another one at $1100, and yet another at $1400.  But when she finally got to the bag that you see hanging on my arm above… well, that’s when something magical happened.  The price flashed across the cash register at a whopping… wait for it… $300!

As you can imagine, I scooped that sucker up quicker than you can say Jack Robinson, and the rest is history.

The temps have started to cool off a bit, and I’ve taken a shine to breaking out some of my fall blazers and cardigans.  I went a little overboard at Zara’s end-of-season sale, and now I have an entire wardrobe full of these cute little knit “bladigans“.  I plan to put them all to good use in the coming months… and I’m even stalking a few ebay auctions in the hopes of scoring a vintage Chanel brooch to complete the look.  Wish me luck!

I spent this past Sunday doing absolutely NOTHING!  Seriously, I ventured out for food once and spent the rest of my time lounging on the couch alternating between Homeland and the original Twilight Zone series.  Not gonna lie, it was pretty epic… especially considering how busy I was at work last week.  I’ll spare you all the gory details, but let’s just say there were enough flight delays, marathon meetings, and metric reviews spread throughout the week to last me a lifetime.
