Santa LOVED me this year

It is no secret amongst anyone who knows me. I LOVE Burberry. I wear Burberry perfume. I have Burberry galoshes. I have Burberry sandals. I buy Burberry gifts for other people.

This year I bought my boyfriend an awesome Burberry tie. I saw the grey version on Saks, but they didn't have any left. I opted for the brown version without a clear picture. I had it pre-wrapped, so even when I got it in the mail I didn't have a chance to take a look at it.

When my boyfriend opened it, he loved it. Heck I loved it. It was a gorgeous tie. 

Then he handed me my gift. I wasn't surprised to see the Burberry bag, but I was surprised at how BIG the box was. I opened it up and nearly died. He bought me the gorgeous winter coat you see in the above picture in WHITE. 

I secretly had been dying for a white, down-feather winter coat. When I told him this, he joked that he knew it. It fits beautifully. It looks amazing on me. Although I'm not interested in more snow this winter, I really won't mind the cold this year.

Happy New Year everyone!

But I JUST put it in my shopping bag!!!

Ok let me tell you what ticks me off about the online shopping I've done as of late. Things appear to be available, but suddenly they're NOT!

It's frustrating, but moreso... devastating.

Neiman Marcus is having the most incredible deals right now. An extra 25% off last call clearance and final sales. I found a couple of really great dresses (one being Diane Von Furstenberg) for almost 85% off!!

Can you imagine getting a DVF dress for less than $100? It's rare, but possible. I put it in my shopping bag and continued browsing for more great deals. When I went to check out, though, I was told that not one but ALL of the items I wanted were out of stock in my size.

It's like someone picked everything I planned to buy out of my shopping bag when I wasn't looking.

My friend suggested I call Neiman Marcus and have an operator call every store possible, find me the DVF dress in my size and immediately have it shipped to me for the price I could have had. Alas, I was too drained.
