Awww, thanks for the compliments guys.

I am master shopper

. Got the YSL bucket (pristine, perfect, inc authenticity cards and sleeper bag) at nm last call for $420. They had a crazy deal of 20% off their YSL bags a couple weeks ago plus I had a 10% off coupon plus I get 5% more off if I use my neiman's card. It's a rare resort spring 08 color but the berry they have currently for fall 08 is almost identical and is selling on their site for $1095. That berry bag puts a spring in my step when I wear it. The crinkled patent is sooooo lovely and the color of course.

The valentino showed up suddenly on yoox clearance section for $598 (it's about a $1700 bag). Then a couple days later the marni showed up in yoox's fall o8 section. My heart skipped a beat (have wanted a balloon

FORever). I put it in my cart and googled yoox coupon and found one for 10% off that was expiring that day. The planets aligned I got the marni for $700. I know that sounds like a lot for a bag but they retail about $1600. The valentino and marni show up this coming week. I CAN'T wait.

Thanks dsrk! I am whittling down my collection to only bags that I really care about and this funky one is a keeper. Besides, I don't have any other bags I can use as a mirror when I need to touch up my lipstick - LOL!

adoptastray You totally need to post a training seminar for deals!

But

you are making me really want to stop at NMLC...but I told myself I couldn't until October. Trying to control myself and seeing gorgeous would render me helpless...lol.
