Slave to Sephora

I am addicted to deals. Not just any old deal that comes my way. It's the freebies Sephora adds on to my online orders. It's addictive. I love to place my goodies into my shopping bag then, though I know it's coming, I still act surprised when the "choose your freebies" page comes up! But the absolute best part?!? When the mail arrives! Because, although it's only a few days, I've forgotten that it's coming and forgotten what goodies I chose. It's like having a birthday but getting everything you love!

I get particularly giddy when Sephora sends me the inside scoop on a deal to share with all my fab fashionistas. FREE 10 day trial of bare minerals. A sample of foundation and necessary brush for flawless application can be yours with any Sephora.com purchase. Just use code 10DAY at checkout (while supplies last).

I recently hired my fabulous makeup artist and friend, Staci Broski of 7th Row, to give me a personal makeup consultation (which I highly recommend). She used the Laura Mercier foundation primer and I really liked it. So that will probably be my purchase today in order to claim my bareMinerals freebie.

Get your goodies today before they run out!

Summer Sales

My friends at Deegie's Carma just posted notice about further price reductions at their temporary pop-up store!
My hubby and I checked out the pop-up store a few weeks ago and spent a wad of cash on all the great designers deals. Hubby likes the Ben Sherman shirts. I think his was reduced so much that they paid us for it.
I scored some white Eight 14 jeans. I love this brand of jeans. I have to get them taken up about 3 1/2 feet because they are so long, and at the waist as well because apparently 7 foot models also have no waist definition. Aside from that, I love them. Since I've scored these on sale, it's not that big a deal to pay for altering. Remember...fit is IT.

Also in the shopping basket was a Diesel dress note here on a previous blog post.

Lots of great deals to be enjoyed at Deegie's Carma.

Local Lusts

In my numerous romps around town trying to find hot fashions I couldn't help but stop to check out the temporary pop-up store for Deegie's Carma, soon to be relocated to an undisclosed location in the south Overland Park/Leawood area. (I know...very 007, huh?)

I found this super sexy zipper-front dress by Diesel, only mine is in a tasteful black color. Plus, mine was a mere $200 while online I just found one for about $325 at ASOS. Ouch. Lucky us for having the Deegie's Sale in the KC metro!

Check out Haute Market on MySpace and see my new profile pic and me wearing my fabulous corset custom made by local designer Sophie & Gwendalynn. I might just have to auction off the top now that I've worn it on tv, at the West 18th Street Fashion Show, and the recent Haute Market event. I know it's only Kansas City, but I'm not sure it's fashionable to be seen in the same thing so many times. Hard not to when it's so fabulously fitted and made of such fine silk fabric.

Suckered by the Sample Sale

If you haven't seen our sister site, the MOBsLounge (Mothers of Boys Lounge), then you should check it out. Especially since my friend and fellow blogger knew about a sample sale that I didn't know of and posted about it there! The NERVE! :)

My feet (and Discover Card) thank you, Christine. I jumped right on to the Kate Spade site to check out the sample sale. I bought an adorable pair of shoes and can't wait to wear them to something fabulous around town.

The sample sale is over but there are other items on sale at KateSpade.com. Show a little love to our Kansas City girl.
The shoe pictured here is not on sale, but who needs a sale to justify buying beauty?!? The open-toe, satin pump has a 3.5" heel and can be yours for a meer $318. Plus, it's my favorite AND Kate's too. We have so much in common. The love of accessories bonds women.


I see a few handbags I want as well. At least Kate will be able to afford a flight home once I finish shopping. Hmmmm...I wonder if we can get her here for our Fashion Week. Kate, I'm sure you read this...call me dear. ;)

Let Out Your Inner Fashionista

Who can honestly say she's never wanted a pair of heeled, poofy house shoes? Oh yeah? Well you're a dirty liar!
I know you're inner fashionista cries out for something a little less tame on occasion. Mine doesn't actually cry out for much more than a good nights sleep anymore. She got a muzzle once the third baby popped out. But I can still here her faintly whispering, "must have maribou feather slip-ons".

After all, I work from home a majority of the time and could use something to make myself feel special while doing so.
Do you think it would be overkill if I also purchased the sexy, red kimono? I bet the UPS guy would pass out from something other than the humidity this summer.

I found my goodies at Pajamagram. Slippers $39.95. Silk/rayon kimono $119.95 - also available in plus sizes.
A great place if you need an original gift. They send your gift in a hatbox!

Save 10%! Enter Code pptr10d at checkout! Expires Oct 15th.

Great Deal For Guy

Ok, really it's guilt-free shopping. Call it what you want. You spend $25 or more online at Sephora.com and get this sampler for your man. Simple and makes you seem like the sweetie!

I just couldn't resist this offer and can't wait to make it seem like I'm sharing my coveted swag with my man. Hey...you work your angle and I'll work mine, sister. My MO is purchase, distract. Purchase for me, distract him from noticing.
