Shopping, Shopping, Shopping

There are too many sales out there for me to keep up with! But it seems every time I go Christmas shopping for other people I only find stuff for me. But I have been really good and not bought anything for me. I was at the outlet mall on Sunday and Kate Spade had everything an additional 50% off! They have the cutest black and white striped patented leather tote bag that was marked down to $95 and then it was 50% of that. That is $47.50 for a big Kate Spade bag. It took all of my will power not to buy it. And it even had a matching wallet. Santa needs to book it over to Kate Spade at the Prime Outlets on I Drive like now.

I went back to Coach. Even though I swore them off last week. They had their usual 30% off plus another 10% off. That is the first time I have seen the extra 10%. They had a really pretty red patented leather bag that I love. But I was there looking for other people. And I left with nothing. I did not buy a single thing at the outlet mall. Maybe I should not try and shop for Dave at Kate Spade and Coach. Just maybe…

I got some great deals at Macy’s during their friends and family sale. I think I got the best bargains on jewelry. I really wanted to buy a new dress for a wedding we are going to this weekend. But I was good and I bought a new necklace and bracelet to go with an old dress that I have only worn once instead. They would have been about $75 regular price but with sales and coupons I got them both for $15. Yay me! That is all I can talk about from Macy’s…for now.

I visited my wish list items at Lululemon. I love the purple hoodie and gym bag. I also visited the earrings I want from Swarvoski. They are a lot bigger than they look online. I think I am okay with this.

I am failing miserably at my holiday shopping. I have so many people to still buy for. This weekend is pretty much out because Dave is in a wedding on Saturday. That is an all day event. One that we are looking forward to. We get to stay at the Grand Bohemian Saturday night. And the rehearsal dinner is at one of our favorite restaurants on Friday. It will be fun. And I may have to squeeze in some shopping on Sunday.

I swear everytime I go Christmas shopping I want to buy for myself. Your will power is amazing!

I am doing terrible this year with Christmas shopping. I've even vowed to only buy for parents, brother, boyfriend, and yet can only find things for .... me, myself, I. Fail!
