What I got during Black Friday 2

My second batch of the Black Friday loot did not turn out so well. I am only keeping one item out of the 5.

the leather jacket was not what I expected to be. btw, it is from NM.
therefore, i am continue searching for a cognac/brown leather jacket.

3 tops from saks were not expensive, but the Twenty&Twelve top is made of the material that will pill after one wear or wash - i just know it. i dont think i have much trust left on this brand's quality after seeing this tee shirt; the floral khaki top is so not like something from a upscale department store.

the red dress from NM did not have a connection with me when i saw it in person. the color is off, and the quality is no good.

they say 'shit happens' - and it did today: Ds stepped on a mysterious poop while we were walking around a zoo-ish place from the museum he goes every Wed. I did not realized what it was until i got some on my beloved Donna Karan suede/shearling boots. so the result was I spent a lot of time cleaning his mess, and spot treated my boots with suede cleaner.

just how far my life style is from luxury things i love?!

  1. Oh Julia!! So sorry to hear about your loot and that mysterious poop!!! Yes, there are these days. Like me, I've been sick on and off since I came back from Manila in October....I think life will be brighter after these. No worries! Tomorrow will be a better day!

    So which 1 item did you keep finally? Any more coming? Hope your next loot will be much better.

    Oh, I just updated my blog too...featuring fur this time. :D Did you buy any fur (real or fake) this winter? I can see you rocking furs with your feminine elegance...:D

    Cheers,
    Mia
