Neiman's Last Call

Shit! I didn't even realize people were reading this. I promise to post something relevant later today. Bear with me.

OK, as promised, my Neiman's finds for all of you freaky fashionistas like me:

The biggest score: These Lambertson Truex booties, 75% off. Also notice my favorite picture of my beloved Wally in the background.

The favorite find: This yummy, fabulous Marc Jacobs evening bag, 50% off. I'm obsessed with golds, browns, coppers, etc. right now.

The other big score: This cashmere La Rok (I just love their stuff) sweater, also about %75 off.

The cute blouse: Alice & Olivia, which goes swimmingly with the booties and the bag—I tend to think in entire outfits, which either makes me truly deranged or a true fashionista—also %75 off.

And just so you don't think me a selfish, superficial bitch, which this anonymous commenter has accused me of being over at Dish, I also picked up some great Hanukkah gifts for dad, mom, godson Kobi and best friend.

I also wanted to post some pics of my soon-to-be-evacuated apartment while it's looking all spiffy for my house guests arriving today.

Cast of Characters

Bergdorf Goodman: The quintessential New York City high fashion bastion of excellence. Bergdorf's is my home away from home in the city, a place that re-ups my Seratonin like no SSRI possibly could. Mom, Lynn and I could (and have) spent hours upon hours strolling the floors of Bergdorf's and now on my trips to the city, it is my main point of interest.
Lynn: Mom's longtime friend from her college days, Lynn can go head-to-head with Mom and me at Bergdorf's, Neiman's or Norman Landsberg. My mom's shopping, style and jewelry partner in crime, Lynn is also one of my close friends and one of my style and dermalogical gurus. Her locale, Palm Beach, close to Worth Ave., comes especially in handy for Mom, who is stuck living in a town devoid of designer clothing.
Mom: Style icon and near-professional shopper, whose dayjob seems to be a means to an end for spending as much time as humanly possible at Bergdorf's. Mom inherited the bulk of Roxy's jewelry and continues to give me the castaways. Mom enjoys shopping, jewelry and traveling to destinations as long as Prada, Gucci, Loro Piana and Manolo Blahnik are readily available and an integral part of the travel itinerary. I wonder what will happen when we go to India soon?
Neiman Marcus: Second to Bergdorf's in that Bergdorf's is only in NYC and Neiman's is all over the country, including in Miami, where I now reside. Neiman's and Bergdorf's are owned by the same company, so it's not so pale a substitute.
Norman Landsberg: A jeweler on 47th Street where mom and Lynn and many of our other friends have been buying baubles for 25 years. We need a jewel? We call them up, they FedEx it to us. No big deal.
Roxy: Deceased, Diva grandmother who was a collector of all things chic. Since she died when I was 17, I became the lucky benefactor of her myriad baubles and desinger pieces.
