Yay for Macy's F&F, which was 25% off and free shipping. I also had a credit from a Hanukkah gift I returned, so this whole pile cost me about $175.

Took advantage of my $20 off $40 sephora perk:

Hermes

LOVE that coat, clotheshorse!

nice buys, Su -- you have some lucky gift recipients!

what is that caudalie, stuff, xtina?

I did some late night shopping and took advantage of a bluefly sale:

tart intimates sleep/loungewear

wyatt jersey tank for layering

Wyatt heather grey jersey sharkbite hi-low tank style# 306147503

michael kors jeggings (I wore the heck out of the cheap ones I got from overstock, and they're not holding up well)

MICHAEL Michael Kors indigo stretch five-pocket cropped jeggings style# 311505901

It's called "Beauty Elixir" - I actually received my first bottle of this from my old boss. He swears by it. "It just makes you feel so fresh!"

It is hard to describe... there's lots of rumors about its origins, supposedly an "elixir of youth" based on a queen's ancient recipe. it is sort of a toner/primer/makeup setter. I apply before moisturizing sometimes and my makeup application is a lot smoother. I also apply to red, irritated skin or on sweaty days. It smells DIVINE too.

Elle · Hermes

I've been questing (and failing) to find some brown riding boots for ages now, but they never fit my calves. These have a stretch panel down each side and were a friggin' steal, so hopefully they fit!

I really like that Wyatt layering tank, D.

Suasoria · Chanel

I went to the Rack for lunch to burn off the remnants of a gift card from last year's returned gifts. I got a necklace for myself that is many delicate black chains knotted together, a bit like this

And a goldtone chain with several eclectic dangly charms for mom.

valenciana · Dooney & Bourke

Hermes

xtina - I'm going to have to try some of that.
