BLACK FRIDAY

If I ever get so (I don't know what word describes this) but if I ever get to the point where I set my alarm to wake up at 1 am to go stand in line outside of some Target store to be the first one in for BLACK FRIDAY
Someone please shoot me because my life must be pretty damn miserable at that point. - WOW

PS
You can also shoot me if I ever get into a line to go into any store at any time of day.  I don't need anything that badly and neither does anyone else.



 

A LITTLE TASTE AT THANKSGIVING

I grew up in a household where you dress for dinner.  You clean up and your clothes match – a little fresh lipstick.  I like that.  We’ve gotten to be a very casual society. Stand outside any Catholic Church and watch what rolls in on a Sunday morning.  I mean really you didn’t even wash (let alone brush) your hair – God Bless You.

So along comes Thanksgiving and I am always annoyed by what people think is appropriate for Thanksgiving dinner. I’m sure my family (on the in-law side of course) think (know) I am a huge bitch when it comes to this.  I’m pretty sure it’s because I walk up to them and say things like “are you wearing jeans and a black biker tank top to the Thanksgiving dinner that we got a printed invitation for? Well don’t worry, I’m sure the other 20 women in nice dresses didn’t notice J”

Also, I’m not a big believer in letting your kids wear whatever they want to a nice dinner for a number of reasons:

1. Who is the boss?

2. I AM THE BOSS

3. You are 5 and you are not going to stomp your feet and get your way because I AM THE BOSS of this and everything else you do until I am finished paying for things.

4. That short skirt and shredded tights makes your 13 year old like a slut.  Yeah maybe she’s not – good luck with that.  The black eyeliner and pierced nose is cute though.

I get that not every Thanksgiving dinner is a big fancy deal so I am suggesting some of my favorite classy looks for all kinds of Thanksgiving get togethers:

EARLY DINNER at the COTTAGE - A family gathering in the “country”

Leggings/ Boots

Oversized sweater

CASUAL THANKSGIVING AT HOME- with friends and family

Skinny Jeans tucked into boots

Blazer or Jacket with a cute tee underneath – scarf of course

FINE CHINA and FINE WINE – a dressier crowd

A great dress topped with a fur vest – layer some vintage necklaces or load on the pearls

Tall boots

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

FINALLY UGGS that AREN'T UG

I've always thought that UGGS are UGLY.  Sorry but the light pink ones (Mel) super UG.  These however are awesome - my new favorite pair of shoes.  These babies can go out at night and are also great for soccer games (which Thank God we don't have to do anymore since my daughter quit for a mere 

$500 cash from me:)      Go get a pair quickly!!!!

NEIMAN MARCUS CATALOG

I'm going to assume that when Neiman Marcus sends out a catalog that weighs more that I do that the purpose is to sell things from the catalog. Not sure if it is...

Here's how it goes every time for me: I get the catalog, i go through it, i find something i want to buy, i get out my ipad and my credit card (i would think the neiman marcus people would be happy to hear this-its going just as they planned it)

Then it all goes wrong - i am at the point where i am going to purchase..."Oh shit they say, what do we do now? Should these things that we paid millions of dollars to put in these catalogs be available to sell? Crap, we don't even have any of this stuff. Maybe the customers will just dog ear the pages that they like and then remember to keep calling back until we do have it. I mean these women can't really be that busy can they?"

So as usual I go to the website and the things in the catalog aren't on the website (surprise) so I call the number in the catalog and they have no idea what I am talking about. Some aren't even sure what Neiman Marcus is (big surprise) I then call my personal shopper who hasn't seen the catalog ( i guess shes not a good customer like i am) but assures me she will
find the item. 2 months later...


By the way,same thing with Lucky Magazine which is supposed to be a shopping magazine. It's called Lucky because that's what you are if you actually find the item that they are telling you to go buy.
